Abstract

Negative consumer perception of stevia is often due to bitter aftertaste of major steviol glycoside (e.g., rebaudioside (Reb) A). This study was to reduce bitter aftertaste of Reb A by blending with Reb D and M, which are known to have no bitter aftertaste. Taste profiles of various blends of the three glycosides were characterized using a trained panel (n = 6) and electronic tongue. It was found that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) in bitter taste and bitter taste at 90 s among the various blends. To evaluate food applications of the Reb blends, a consumer panel (n = 83) evaluated ice cream sweetened with the blends. The consumer acceptance indicated that blends of Reb A with Reb D and M can help decrease bitterness of stevia and ultimately increase liking score in high-sugar food applications such as ice cream. The findings suggest that blends of major and minor steviol glycosides may be one of the strategies to reduce bitter aftertaste of stevia and stevia-sweetened products.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science is a peer-reviewed journal that explicitly focuses on the interface of food science and gastronomy. Articles focusing only on food science will not be considered. This journal equally encourages both scientists and chefs to publish original scientific papers, review articles and original culinary works. We seek articles with clear evidence of this interaction. From a scientific perspective, this publication aims to become the home for research from the whole community of food science and gastronomy. IJGFS explores all aspects related to the growing field of the interaction of gastronomy and food science, in areas such as food chemistry, food technology and culinary techniques, food microbiology, genetics, sensory science, neuroscience, psychology, culinary concepts, culinary trends, and gastronomic experience (all the elements that contribute to the appreciation and enjoyment of the meal. Also relevant is research on science-based educational programs in gastronomy, anthropology, gastronomic history and food sociology. All these areas of knowledge are crucial to gastronomy, as they contribute to a better understanding of this broad term and its practical implications for science and society.
