Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a sweet composition having low calorific value and improved taste, flavor and physical properties, by combining sucrose with a dipeptide sweetener. CONSTITUTION:The objective sweet composition is composed of sucrose and a dipeptide sweetener consisting of an alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower alkyl ester(AP). The amount of the dipeptide sweetener is <=50wt.% based on 100wt.% of sucrose. The low-calorie sweetener having the above composition has decreased cloying heavy sweetness and harsh taste, and suppressed stickiness and tackiness compared with the simple sucrose. Furthermore, the decrease of flavor caused by sucrose can be eliminated in the above composition to obtain a refreshing sweetness.

Sweeteners include sugars such as sucrose, sugar alcohols such as sorbitol and multisoto, peptide sweeteners, and artificially synthesized sweeteners such as saccharin. Among these, sugars such as sucrose, fructose, and galactose is considered to be a good sweetener that does not give off bitterness, off-taste, or other unpleasant tastes, and sucrose in particular is widely used as a sweetener. On the other hand, sugar alcohols, peptide sweeteners, artificially synthesized sweeteners, etc. have been developed in recent years as sweeteners for dieting purposes, etc., but compared to sucrose, they have poor taste and physical properties. There are many things that I am not always satisfied with. Among these,
Dipeptide sweeteners, represented by α-L-aspartyl-monophenylalanine methyl ester (hereinafter abbreviated as AP), are characterized by a refined sweetness at the beginning, and have a refreshing and satisfying property. However, it tends to have a sweet taste that lingers until later, and it tends to lack depth. In addition, dipeptide sweet γ4 also has physical properties that are disadvantageous when used as a sweetener compared to sucrose, such as low solubility and dispersibility in water. On the other hand, while sucrose does not have the problems in taste and physical properties that these dipeptide sweeteners have, in order to obtain the same sweetness intensity as a dipeptide sweetener, for example, AP,
Since it must be used at a concentration as high as 0.00 times, the cost of raw materials is high, a characteristic thickening and stickiness occur, browning is likely to occur, and flavor development tends to be suppressed. In addition, sucrose has high hygroscopicity, and once it absorbs moisture, it solidifies, causing inconvenience in handling.

The recent tendency to move away from the so-called sweet taste is believed to be due to obesity caused by overconsumption of sucrose, as well as boredom with the heavy sweet taste that sticks to the tongue when sucrose is used in high concentrations. As a way to reduce sucrose intake, attempts have been made to replace part or all of sucrose with other sugars, sugar alcohols, saccharin, stevioside, glycyrrhizin, etc.; At present, it is not possible to provide a sweetener that is necessarily satisfactory in terms of sex and other aspects.

The present inventors have solved the above-mentioned current situation, that is, the problems when using sucrose alone or dipeptide sweetener alone, and
In view of the fact that there is no fully satisfactory sweetener to replace sucrose, we are developing a low-calorie sweetener that is equivalent to or better than sucrose in taste and flavor, and that also suppresses increases in blood sugar levels as much as possible. We have conducted intensive research to obtain a low-calorie sweet composition that can be provided as a sweetener and have good physical properties, and by using a dipeptide sweetener as part of the sucrose, we have created a low-calorie sweet composition that comprehensively solved the above problems. The present invention was completed based on the finding that the following could be obtained.

That is, the present invention contains sucrose and a dipeptide sweetener in an amount of 50% by weight or less of sucrose, and the amount of sucrose used is reduced by 1/2.
It is a low-calorie sweet composition that can be reduced by 2 to 1/100 times and has excellent flavor and physical properties.

The dipeptide sweetener used in the present invention is an α-ri-aspartyl-phenylalanine lower furkyl ester, and AP is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of sweetness intensity and economical efficiency. The composition ratio of dipeptide sweetener to sucrose is 5100% by weight of cane sugar.
In contrast, the amount of dipeptide sweetener is 50% by weight or less, preferably 0.5 to 30% by weight. When the dipeptide sweetener exceeds 50% by weight, physical properties such as solubility and dispersibility deteriorate, and the sweetness tends to lack thickness and mellowness, as in the case of using the dipeptide sweetener alone.

In other words, in the case of powder, the solubility and dispersibility are slightly improved compared to dipeptide sweeteners alone, but they tend to be inferior to granulated products.
Problems include the operational difficulties of dispersing and dissolving a dipeptide sweetener with low solubility in water in advance, and the stability of the dipeptide sweetener when left standing for a long time in the presence of water. On the other hand, when granulated with sucrose and a dipeptide sweetener alone or with other excipients, binders, etc., the hygroscopicity is lower than when sucrose alone is used, and the dispersion and solubility of the dipeptide sweetener is reduced. As a result, storage and handling become extremely easy.

Compared to the case of using sucrose alone, the low-calorie sweet composition of the present invention reduces the heavy sweetness that sticks to the tongue, the bitter taste, and the bitter taste, and suppresses stickiness and stickiness. Since there is no reduction in flavor due to the flavor, it has a refreshing sweetness and a rich taste.However, in order to further improve the taste, glycine, DL-alanine, monosodium glutamate, 1 selected from glutamic acid and salt
You may use more than one species in combination. The amount of these ingredients added depends on the taste obtained by the combination of sucrose and dipeptide sweetener,
For example, in the case of monosodium glutamate, it is preferably about 15 to 100% based on AP in the composition of the present invention, and in the case of glycine, it is preferably dipeptide It is preferable that the amount of DL-alanine is not more than twice the weight of the sweetener, and that the amount of DL-alanine is not more than the same amount as the dipeptide sweetener. These third components prevent the amount of the composition of the present invention from decreasing when the amount of dipeptide sweetener used relative to sucrose is increased, and the measurability, etc., decreases at the same sweetness intensity. To give complexity and variability to sweetness and to have good sweetness with richness.
