Abstract:

Tri- and tetra-saccharides are used in foods, beverages and other consumable products to mask or reduce the unpleasant taste of certain components also present in such products, such as the bitter taste of certain high intensity sweeteners. The organoleptic qualities of the products are thereby improved. In particular, melezitose, maltotriose and maltotetraose effectively reduce the bitterness of consumable products containing steviol glycosides such as rebaudioside A.
