PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an inexpensive, highly versatile food composition containing a gustatoriness-improving ingredient which is obtained by subjecting sugar cane-derived bagasse to extraction with a solvent such as water, and capable of improving the gustatoriness of foods having unfavorable taste. SOLUTION: This-food composition contains a gustatoriness-improving ingredient which is obtained by subjecting sugar cane-derived bagasse to extraction with a solvent selected from the group consisting of water and hydrophilic solvents including ethanol. The food itself before incorporated with the above ingredient is a high-sweetness sweetener with after-sweetness or bitterness selected from the group consisting of stevia sweeteners, acesulfame K, saccharin (sodium), aspartame, sucralose, glycyrrhizin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and alitame. The gustatoriness of the above hood is improved by formulating 1 g of the food with 0.0002-0.02 g of the bagasse extract (on a dry basis). |
