Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The use of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one in an edible composition for suppressing, eliminating or reducing undesirable off-tastes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing or eliminating perceived off-notes associated with the use of high-intensity sweeteners, comprising the step of incorporating into a product comprising high-intensity sweetener(s) an off-note-masking amount of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxy phenyl)propan-1-one. 2. The method according to claim 1 , in which the amount of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one incorporated into the product is from 5 to 30 ppm. 3. An edible composition comprising a high-intensity sweetener, and an off-taste masking portion of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one. 4. The edible composition according to claim 3 wherein the high-intensity sweetener is selected from sucralose, sodium cyclamate, Aspartame, thaumatin, acesulfame potassium, neotame, saccharine, swingle extract, stevia extracts, monoglycosylated steviol compounds, di glycosylated steviol compounds, polyglycosylated steviol compounds, chemically modified steviosides, enzymatically modified steviosides, or a mixture thereof. 5. The edible composition according to claim 3 , in which the amount of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one is from 5 to 30 ppm. 6. The edible composition according to claim 5 , further comprising sugar. 7. The edible composition according to claim 4 , further comprising sugar. 8. The edible composition according to claim 3 , further comprising sugar.
