  • Patent number: 6306372
    Abstract: An oral hygiene composition containing eucalyptol and a zinc salt, wherein the harsh taste or burn sensation ordinarily imparted by the eucalyptol and the astringency ordinarily caused by the zinc salt are abated or eliminated by effective amounts in the composition of a taste receptor blocker, preferably in combination with a three component flavor system containing at least one spice, at least one sweetener and at least one fruity note. The taste receptor blocker is preferably a hydrogenated, ethoxylated glycerol ester which has the mouth feel characteristic of a fat but which has a much higher degree of solubility and hence improved clarity (ie., reduced cloudiness) for the composition.
