Description

本発明は、甘味料組成物、甘味改善剤、甘味物質の甘味改善方法、および後甘味の抑制された飲食品に関する。   The present invention relates to a sweetener composition, a sweetness improving agent, a sweetness improving method for a sweet substance, and a food or drink with reduced post-sweetness.

甘味料には天然甘味料と合成甘味料がある。甘味の感じ方は甘味料によって様々であるが、中には、先に感じた甘味が後まで持続して残るものがある。この、いわゆる「後甘味」は、飲食物の風味を悪くする原因となる。   Sweeteners include natural sweeteners and synthetic sweeteners. There are various ways of feeling sweetness depending on the sweetener, but some of the sweetness that has been felt previously remains until later. This so-called “post-sweetness” causes the flavor of food and drink to deteriorate.

これまで、甘味料の呈味改善剤としてルチン(特許文献1参照)、ポリ−γ−グルタミン酸(特許文献2参照)、ビタミンC(特許文献3参照)、ヘスペリジン(特許文献4参照)等が報告されている。しかし、後甘味の抑制効果が弱いものや、酸味など飲食品に好ましくない風味を付与するものもある。   So far, rutin (refer to Patent Document 1), poly-γ-glutamic acid (refer to Patent Document 2), vitamin C (refer to Patent Document 3), hesperidin (refer to Patent Document 4) and the like have been reported as sweet taste improvers. Has been. However, there are those that have a weak post-sweetness-inhibiting effect and those that impart an unfavorable flavor to food and drink such as acidity.
