ABSTRACT:
A combination of one or more non-nutritive sweeteners, a sugar alcohol and D-tagatose are included in a reduced-calorie beverage or food product to achieve a taste substantially similar to that of a full-calorie beverage or food product. The combination is suitable for use in reduced-calorie frozen carbonated beverages. Preferably, the one or more non-nutritive sweeteners include one or more steviosides, a Stevia glycoside, a derivative of a Stevia glycoside, a glycoside of steviol, or a Lo Han Guo extract.
