A particulate composition suitable for ingestion: a carrier phase that is a free-flowing particulate phase comprising a bad or bitter substance and a first particulate substance; and a residence phase comprising a second particulate substance. And the second particulate material is a flavoring agent and / or a taste masking agent or includes a staying phase containing the same, and the remaining phase of the staying phase in the mouth (R 90 : retained) remains in the mouth of the carrier phase. Particulate composition longer than time (R 90 : carrier).
