Abstract: Novel utilization of sucralose which is a high intense sweetener. Compositions containing sucralose including: sweetening compositions having excellent sweetness qualities based on the characteristics of sucralose; foods with a masked unpleasant smell and unpleasant taste; performance food compositions (viscous food compositions, gel food compositions, emulsified food compositions); foods with improved flavors; preservatives and foods with improved quality of taste; and flavor compositions with improved flavors. Novel utilization of sucralose as a sweetener improver, a masking agent for unpleasant smell/unpleasant taste, a flavor improver, a function improver (viscosity, gelling properties, emulsification properties), a taste characteristic improver, and a flavor improver/enhancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for improving the taste of sweeteners, and a method for improving the taste of edible products containing sweeteners. The present invention can be worked by using sclareolide and 2-acetylpyrrole in combination with a sweetener. By using the method of the present invention, an astringent taste, bitter taste or aftertastes such as lingering taste originating especially in high-intensity sweeteners can be reduced, so that edible products with an improved taste can be provided.

Abstract: A composition which is obtained by causing a specific compound to be present together with sucralose. The composition provides a sucralose in a stable form, more particularly, a sucralose which is still stable and thus is significantly suppressed with respect to the decrease in sweetness and discoloration (browning, blackening), even when it is subjected to a warming treatment under a condition wherein temperature is high and especially water content is low and/or pH is low. The stabilized sucralose-containing composition can be used as a sweetener by itself and as a compound with a food or a drug.

Abstract: A carbonated drink having both the rich taste of a plant-derived component(s) such as fruit juice(s) and the stimulating and refreshing feel of carbonic acids is provided. The carbonated drink contains 10 to 80% by weight of the plant-derived component(s) and 2% by volume or, more of carbon dioxide, has a soluble solids content of not more than 8 degree as indicated by a refractive saccharometer, contains high intensity sweetener(s), the sweetness due to which is not less than 25% by weight (on the sucrose equivalent basis), and has an entire sweetness equivalent to the sweetness of a sucrose content of 8 to 14% by weight. Furthermore, it contains sucralose as at least one high intensity sweetener, with the sweetness due to sucralose accounting for not less than 50% of the sweetness due to all high intensity sweetener(s) on the sucrose equivalent basis.
