Abstract
Abstract Neohesperidine dihydrochalcone and other dihydrochalcone derivatives which are obtained, for example, from grapefruit rind and which are many times sweeter than saccharine are utilized in combination in specific proportions with a sugar, with cream of tartar and with vanilla flavor to provide a sweetening composition with a flavor which is very closely akin to that of natural sucrose. The compositions are, however, many times sweeter (weight for weight) than ordinary sugar and therefore are very low in calories.
