FOOD/DRINK COMPOSITION CONTAINING HIGH SWEETNESS SWEETENER, TASTE IMPROVING AGENT OF FOOD/DRINK COMPOSITION CONTAINING HIGH SWEETNESS SWEETENER, AND TASTE IMPROVING METHOD OF FOOD/DRINK COMPOSITION CONTAINING HIGH SWEETNESS SWEETENER
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel taste improving agent which is excellent in a taste improving effect of a food/drink composition containing a high sweetness sweeter, the food/drink composition containing the high sweetness sweeter which has a taste improved by such a taste improving agent, and a taste improving method of the food/drink composition containing the high sweetness sweeter.SOLUTION: This invention relates to a food/drink composition containing a high sweetness sweeter which contains at least one or more components selected from a group consisting of a sugar carboxylic acid obtained by oxidizing an aldehyde group on the reducing terminal side of a starch decomposition product or transfer reaction product which has a degree of polymerization of 2 or more, its salts and its lactone. This invention also relates to a taste improving agent of the food/drink composition containing the high sweetness sweeter which is composed of at least one or more components selected from a group consisting of a sugar carboxylic acid obtained by oxidizing an aldehyde group on the reducing terminal side of a starch decomposition product or transfer reaction product which has a degree of polymerization of 2 or more, its salts and its lactone.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】高甘味度甘味料含有飲食品組成物の呈味改善効果に優れた新規な呈味改善剤、及び、このような呈味改善剤により呈味が改善された高甘味度甘味料含有飲食品組成物、及び高甘味度甘味料含有飲食品組成物の呈味を改善する方法を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明は、重合度2以上の澱粉分解物又は転移反応物の還元末端側のアルデヒド基が酸化された糖カルボン酸、その塩類及びそのラクトンからなる群から選択される少なくとも1つ以上の成分として含有することを特徴とする高甘味度甘味料含有飲食品組成物である。また、本発明は、重合度2以上の澱粉分解物又は転移反応物の還元末端側のアルデヒド基が酸化された糖カルボン酸、その塩類及びそのラクトンからなる群から選択される少なくとも1つ以上の成分からなる、高甘味度甘味料含有飲食品組成物の呈味改善剤である。【選択図】図1
