Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of altering perceptional characteristics of beverages.
- the present invention relates to a method for improving the mouthfeel or flavor of beverages by adding hydrocolloids having a particular intrinsic viscosity.
- Bodyweight concerns are of paramount importance to the world population; to react to this, food manufacturers are eager to reduce calories in beverages (e.g. "reduced calories", “light beverages”, “calorie-reduced beverage” etc); however, these beverages often have a lower consumers' acceptance rate as they lack the mouthfeel, body and flavor of their regular equivalents (e.g. "equivalent full calorie beverages”).
- low calorie ingredients such as, for example, a high intensity sweetener, which can partially or totally substitute high calorie ingredients, such as for example, a nutritive sweetener like sucrose, may accomplish a reduction in calories but presents an important challenge for the beverage industry. The challenge is to maintain the flavor, the mouthfeel and the body of the regular beverage, and thus generate a similar sensory response.
- oil-in-water emulsions were based on an oil phase having a density of 0.99 to 1.05 g/cm 3 and a viscosity of 10 to 1500 cP (centipoises), an aqueous phase and pectin, and they were reported to show enhanced emulsifying properties and stability.
- cP centipoises
- pectin a viscosity of 10 to 1500 cP
- the invention relates to a method for improving the mouthfeel or flavor of beverages comprising the step of adding from about 10 to about 1500 ppm of one or more first hydrocolloids to said beverage, characterized in that the first hydrocolloids have an intrinsic viscosity of 5-600 mL/g as measured by capillary flow viscosimetry.
- the beverages of this method are calorie-reduced beverages in which at least a portion of a nutritive sweetener has been removed and a high intensity sweetener has been added.
- the high intensity sweetener is a rebaudioside A such as the TruviaTM brand sweetener available from Cargill, Incorporated.
- the present invention relates to a calorie-reduced beverage composition having a lubricity which is about equal or higher than the lubricity of its equivalent full calorie beverage, said calorie-reduced beverage composition comprising one or more first hydrocolloids having an intrinsic viscosity of 5 to 600 mL/g as measured by capillary flow viscosimetry.
- the calorie-reduced beverage composition may also be characterized as having less bitter or astringent flavor compared to an equivalent calorie-reduced beverage composition without one or more first hydrocolloids.
- the present invention relates to the use of hydrocolloids for improving the mouthfeel or flavor of beverages.

- taste is often referred to as a taste quality, which is selected from bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umami. It is possible to have one or more of these taste qualities within the same item.
- Taste modification often involves either an enhancement or synergy, or a suppression or masking of a particular taste quality. Taste modification may also involve a change in the duration (or time) and intensity of the taste quality. Thus, in a visual sense, a curve of a taste profile can be shifted forward or backward in time, be lengthened or shortened (duration) and certain peaks can be decreased or increased in height (intensity).
- taste is stimulated through physical interactions of non- volatile molecules with receptors on the tongue and mouth surfaces, while volatile compounds reaching the receptors in the olfactory epithelium determine smell.
- volatile compounds reaching the receptors in the olfactory epithelium determine smell.
- perceptual level there are many indications that the sensations of taste and smell, interact. Interactions may also occur with the other modalities of appearance, sound and texture.
- body according to the present invention is the richness of flavor or impression of consistency given by a beverage.
- mouthfeel of a beverage according to the present invention is the tactile sensations perceived at the lining of the mouth, including the tougue, gums and teeth.
- bitter is the most sensitive of the tastes, and is perceived by many to be unpleasant, sharp, or disagreeable.
- Common bitter foods and beverages include coffee, unsweetened cocoa, South American “mate”, marmalade, bitter melon, beer, bitters, olives, citrus peel, many plants in the Brassicaceae family, dandelion greens and escarole.
- Quinine is also known for its bitter taste and is found in tonic water.
- astringency refers to the astringent sensations of dry, rough, harsh

- the sugar content was reduced by about 90% and rebaudioside A was added to replace the sweetness of the sugar.
- the calorie-reduced beverage lacked mouthfeel and had an increase in astringency and bitterness.
- Citrus pectin was then added to add back some of the body and mouthfeel that was missing from the removed sugar.
- the citrus pectin also reduced the astringency and even masked the inherent bitterness of rebaudioside A.
- the calorie-reduced beverage tasted like previous diet drinks but with the addition of the citrus pectin the sweetness profile was rounded out, the flavor delivery was improved and the typical diet "bitter aftertaste" was greatly reduced.

- the energy drink also contained high quantities of a range of B-vitamins.
- Citrus Pectin was then added at three different levels (i.e. 250, 500 and 700 ppm) to samples of the energy drink. Upon tasting the samples it was noticed that in addition to a reduction in bitterness of rebaudioside A, the vitamin taste was also diminished in proportion to the quantity of pectin. The higher the pectin content, the more the vitamin off- flavors were masked.
- Example 9 Lemon Lime Soda Formulations
- Lemon lime sodas were prepared according to the following formulations:
- the samples were then tasted.
- the diet beverage had noticeable aspartame aftertaste and bitterness.
- the diet beverage with pectin tasted like a full sugar version of a lemon lime soda and had reduced aspartame aftertaste compared to the diet beverage.
- the sweetness of the diet beverage with pectin was also improved and the bitterness was reduced.
- the control beverage tasted like a full sugar version of a lemon lime soda and was very similar in taste to the diet beverage with pectin.
