The invention provides an application of combined use of xanthan gum, soya bean lecithin and a bitter agent in a bitter placebo matrix used in a traditional Chinese medicine decoction. The invention provides a placebo matrix composition capable of simulating the aftertaste of a traditional Chinese medicine decoction. The decoction comprises the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 0.03-0.04% of a bitterness agent, 0.05-0.2% of xanthan gum and 1.5-3% of soybean lecithin. The invention further provides the modified rheum officinale and coptis chinensis gargle placebo. Aiming at the defects that only instantaneous bitter taste can be generated by simply adding a bitterness agent and the bitter taste fades quickly in the prior art, the invention provides a method capable of actively regulating and remarkably prolonging the bitter taste sensing duration, so that the placebo can realistically reproduce a complete time-intensity curve of'bitter taste in mouth-lasting bitter taste after mouth 'of a traditional Chinese medicine decoction; therefore, the testee is prevented from being broken by bitterness lasting time difference. The method breaks through the limitation of traditional solution simulation, and aims to provide a new thought for preparation of traditional Chinese medicine placebo, further improve the sensory simulation level of the placebo and provide a method and reference for research of similar placebo.
