Title:
METHOD RELATING TO SWEETNESS ENHANCEMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022036321
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide methods to enhance sweetness comprising the use of a sweetener at a sub- to near-threshold concentration which is used in combination with a suprathreshold concentration of another sweetener, where the sweetener used at the near-threshold concentration is selected based on its likely binding site in the human sweet taste receptor.SOLUTION: The invention relates to the identification of agents that can modulate the taste response in humans (such as sweet taste enhancers) through assays based on a novel sweet receptor protein, heterologous expression systems containing nucleic acid constructs forming the novel sweet receptor protein, and the use of the novel sweet receptor protein in screening.SELECTED DRAWING: None
