Abstract: A coated straw useful for improving the taste of acidic liquids including carbonated beverages or fruit juices. The inside surface of the straw end inserted in the liquid is coated with a mixture of nontoxic alkaline material and sugar and a separate section of the inside surface is coated with taste-modifying stable miraculin. The amount of alkaline material is sufficient to render nonacid the liquid in the first mouthful.

Abstract: A mouthpiece construction having a tip and a mouthpiece adapted to fit with a straw. The tip is coated with an effervescent taste-modifying composition comprising an effective amount of room temperature stable taste modifying principle known as miraculin obtained from the ripe fruit of Synsepalum dulcificum Daniell, and a non-toxic alkaline material capable of forming carbon dioxide when dissolved in an aqueous acidic solution. The coating is sealed from the atmosphere and the interior of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a lengthwise passageway which fits with the interior of a straw and radial passageway which connects the lengthwise passageway and the peripheral surface of the mouthpiece. The radial passageways are positioned so that liquid passing out of them contacts the coating.

Abstract translation: 具有适于与吸管配合的尖端和接口的接口构造。 尖端涂有泡腾味改性组合物，其包含有效量的室温稳定的调味原理，称为从Synsepalum dulcificum Daniell的成熟果实获得的miraculin，以及当溶解时能够形成二氧化碳的无毒碱性物质 酸性水溶液。 涂层从气氛和吹口的内部密封。 接口具有纵向通道，其与秸秆和径向通道的内部配合，该通道连接纵向通道和接口管的外周表面。 径向通道定位成使得从其中流出的液体接触涂层。

Abstract: STABLE SOLID MICACULIN SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF COMPONENTS OF RIPE MIRACLE FRUIT THAT DEGRADE MICRCULIN. THE MIRACULIN IS USEFUL IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOODS SUCH AS IN COATINGS TO RENDER SOUR-TASTING FOODS SWEET TASTING WHILE MAINTAINING THIS TASTE MODIFYING CHARACTERISTIC FOR LONG PERIODS UNDER NORMAL ATMOPHERIC CONDITIONS. THE MIRACULIN IS OBTAINED BY LOW TEMPERATURE PROCESSING INCLUDING COMMINUTING THE RIPE FRUIT, DEHYDRATION, AND SEPARATION ON A DENSITY BASIC.
