1. A sweetened consumable comprising:
a) at least 0.0001% of at least one sweetener, wherein said sweetener comprises sucrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, or combinations thereof, wherein said at least one sweetener or sweetener combination is present in a concentration above the sweetness detection threshold in a concentration isosweet to 2% to 15% sucrose; and b) a sweetness enhancer comprising (i) mogroside V or swingle extract and (ii) rebaudioside A, wherein the sweetness enhancer is present in a concentration near its sweetness detection threshold, wherein for mogroside V this concentration is from 0.4 to 12.5 ppm, wherein for swingle extract this concentration is from 2 to 60 ppm, and wherein for rebaudioside A this concentration is from 1 to 30 ppm; wherein the sweetness enhancer has a more than additive sweetness enhancing effect that is greater than the sweet taste due to the sweetness enhancer itself. |
