PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sweetness composition partially replaceable for muscovado, which can be easily manufactured at relatively low cost, easily handled with stable quality, and more stably supplied in comparison with muscovado.SOLUTION: The sweetness composition is partially replaceable for muscovado. To a sweetness basis typically including a part of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides or a mixture thereof, a water-soluble Ca compound as Ca source, a water-soluble Mg compound as Mg source, and NaCl are further added. The Ca compound in a Ca amount of 0.01 to 2.0 parts, the Mg compound in a Mg amount of 0.01 to 1.0 part, and NaCl in an amount of 0.01 to 1.0 are blended relative to 100 parts of the sweetness basis.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】製造が容易で比較的安価で取り扱いやすく、品質が安定していて、黒糖よりも比較的安定的に供給できる黒糖の一部を代替可能な甘味組成物を提供すること。【解決手段】 黒糖の一部を代替可能な甘味組成物。通常、単・少糖類の一部からなる又はそれらの混合物からなる甘味ベースに対して、水溶性Ca化合物および水溶性Mg化合物をそれぞれCa源およびMg源として、さらに、NaClを添加した甘味組成物。甘味ベース100部に対して、Ca化合物をCa:0.01~2.0部,Mg化合物をMg:0.01~1.0部となる量配合すると共に、Nacl:0.01~1.0配合する。【選択図】なし
