Abstract
A method of improving taste and/or off-taste of a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition includes a step of providing a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition that includes two or more of: a sour additive; a bitter additive; and a sweetener. The method also includes a step of adding 1,3-propanediol to the food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition to form a tasteful composition, whereby said tasteful composition has improved taste and/or off-taste as compared to a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition that does not include 1,3-propanediol.
