PURPOSE:To obtain a sweet composition having low calorific value and improved taste, flavor and physical properties, by combining sucrose with a dipeptide sweetener. CONSTITUTION:The objective sweet composition is composed of sucrose and a dipeptide sweetener consisting of an alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower alkyl ester(AP). The amount of the dipeptide sweetener is <=50wt.% based on 100wt.% of sucrose. The low-calorie sweetener having the above composition has decreased cloying heavy sweetness and harsh taste, and suppressed stickiness and tackiness compared with the simple sucrose. Furthermore, the decrease of flavor caused by sucrose can be eliminated in the above composition to obtain a refreshing sweetness. |
