Abstract
A gelatin dessert mix adapted to be hydrated in an aqueous medium to form a gelled dessert, the mix containing gelatin, acid, buffer, flavor, the sweetener aspartame in an amount to provide sweetness in the gelled dessert, and small but effective amounts of a sugar alcohol and a maltodextrin sufficient to cause the gelled product to exhibit sweetness and taste characteristics closely similar to those of a sucrose-sweetened counterpart product. Also disclosed is a method in which the sweetness and taste characteristics of an edible product in which aspartame is employed to provide sweetness are made to more closely simulate those of a sucrose-sweetened counterpart product by inclusion of a sugar alcohol and maltodextrin therein.
