A sweetening composition containing at least one sweetener selected from a protein sweetener and saccharin, together with arabinogalactan, the ratio by weight of arabinogalactan to saccharin not exceeding 1:1 when saccharin is used as the only sweetener possesses enhanced sweetening properties as compared with a composition containing no sweetness modifier; the sweetness profile is more rounded and unpleasant after-tastes are minimized.
