Description

Sensory-guided analysis of an aqueous-ethanolic extract of Mondia whitei indicated sweetness enhancing effects of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (HMBA). Further sensory tests confirmed these findings at low concentrations (0.5mg/L). Higher concentrations did not show the desired effect, probably due to the strong coumarin-like flavor of HMBA. Similar to vanillin, the enhancement mainly results from a congruent flavor effect. Trials with nose clamps clearly reduced the observed effects. In a simple sugar reduced beverage application, however, HMBA was able to partly restore the sweetness of the beverage.
