Sweetener for food and drinks, etc., e.g. tooth-paste, consists, by wt., of 80-95 (85-95)% lactose, 0.5-12.5 (0.5-10)% ammoniated glycyrrhizic acid, 2-8 (5)% saccharin and 0.025-0.075 (0.05)% of a 5'-nucleotide. The sweetener compsn. is low in calories, has no bitter after-taste and has twice the sweetening power of saccharin alone. The compsn. combines the solubility of lactose with the sweetening power of ammoniated glycyrrhizic acid and saccharin without the licorice taste of the glycerrhizic acid deriv. and the bitter after-taste of saccharin. The ammoniated glycerrhizic acid may be the mono-, di- and/or tri-ammoniated deriv. The 5'-nucleotide may be a mixt. of double N-contg. salts of 5'-inosinic- and 5'- guanylic acid. |
