Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2298350A] This invention relates to drink compositions or drink concentrate compositions having no or low added sugar. The sweetness is provided by an intense sweetener, reducing or eliminating the amount of added sugar needed. No or low sugar drink compositions often lack 'non sweetness' characteristics such as body, texture and viscosity and appear weak and watery. The present invention uses gelatinised starch together with an intense sweetener. The gelatinised starch compensates for the thickening, non sweetness property of the missing added sugar giving the drink body and a thicker mouthfeel as well as a pleasant after taste. The drink may additionally contain acidulants, buffers, preservatives, colourants and fruit comminutes.
