主权项

1. A method for bitter taste masking of a formulation comprising 0.1 to 10% by weight of a polyphenol-containing composition, based on the dry matter of the formulation, having a fraction of at least 90% by weight of epigallocatechingallate (EGCG), based on the dry matter of the polyphenol containing composition, wherein the method comprises
including 50-80% by weight of isomaltulose, based on the dry matter of the formulation, into the formulation, and bringing the formulation into contact with at least one receptor molecule of a taste-sensory cell of a consumer, wherein, in the absence of such isomaltulose said at least one receptor molecule would perceive a bitter taste, but wherein said isomaltulose produces a taste-masking effect masking the bitter taste of the polyphenol-containing composition.
