A sweetener composition with a high intense sweetness having a sweetness quality which is closer to that of sucrose, obtained by blending aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives which are sweetener components with a high intense sweetness such as N-ÄN-Ä3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) propylÜ-L- alpha -aspartylÜ-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, with anther sweetener components with a high intense sweetness such as Aspartame, or at least one of the compounds contained in the group consisting of sugar, sugar alcohol and oligosaccharides so as to strengthen the onset of the taste of said derivatives and weaken the lingering taste, thereby improving the balance of the onset of the taste and the lingering taste, is provided. Further, said aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives can be used as taste modifiers. By using these taste modifiers, an effect of highly eliminating or repressing a bitter taste can be achieved and maintained, without undesirable effect for the physical properties of compositions such as food and drink and medicines, in particular, viscosity and so on of liquid compositions, or degradation of qualities such as browning during storage. Thus, food and drink and medicines and so on of a preferable taste quality with the improved bitter taste can be provided. |
