The present invention relates primarily to the use of certain hydroxybenzoic acid amides or the salts or mixtures thereof for masking an unpleasant taste impression, preferably of a bitter, adstringent, dusty, dry, floury, rancid, metallic and/or cardboard taste or aftertaste, of one or more unpleasant-tasting peptides or of certain amino acid mixtures. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for masking unpleasant taste impressions and to novel preparations.

Powdered nutritional products containing branched-chain amino acids and a sugar alcohol are provided. The branched-chain amino acids in the powdered nutritional product exhibit improved solubility and thus improved dissolution upon re-constitution of the powdered nutritional product.
