Embodiment 1

[0060] Beverages according to the present disclosure were prepared using the following recipes. Specifically, diet colas containing natural sweeteners were formulated at 3 different TA levels (12, 10 and 9). At TA 12, the usual level for a cola, a diet cola is sour and has a bitter taste. At lower TA levels, especially at 9, a diet cola with increased sweetness and decreased sourness with the correct sweet / sour ratio is achieved. The bitterness perception is reduced.

[0062] Element

Embodiment 2

[0064] Beverages according to the present disclosure were prepared using the following recipes. In Table 2, the bitterness of rebaudioside A for diet cola formula 2 was significantly reduced when citric acid was removed from the formula.
