Abstract
Foodstuffs containing sweetness inhibitors having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl and wherein R.sub.9 is the group ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 hydroxyalkyl, hydroxy and COOH; and the non-toxic salts thereof.

A foodstuff composition comprising a foodstuff, a sweetener and a sweetness inhibiting amount of a sweetness inhibiting compound having the general formula:
- ##STR5## wherein R.sub.7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl and wherein R.sub.9 is the group ##STR6## wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 hydroxyalkyl, hydroxy and COOH;
- and the non-toxic salts thereof.
A process for inhibiting the sweetness perception of a foodstuff, said process comprising adding to a foodstuff containing a sweetener, a a sweetness inhibiting compound, said compound being present in an amount effective to inhibit the sweetness perception in said foodstuff and having the general formula:
- ##STR7## wherein R.sub.7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl and wherein R.sub.9 is the group ##STR8## wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 hydroxyalkyl, hydroxy and COOH;
- and the non-toxic salts thereof.
