A steviol glycoside composition with reduced surface tension. The reduced surface tension steviol glycoside composition includes an aqueous solution of a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound in an amount effective to reduce surface tension. Method for reducing surface tension in a steviol glycoside solution includes contacting a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound.

The present invention provides food or beverage compositions, such as yoghurts puddings, fruit preparations or lemonades, which comprise (a) one or more steviol glycosides as sweetening agents, and (b) yeast extract or yeast autolysate. The invention also provides a sweetening composition comprising (a) one or more steviol glycosides, and (b) yeast extract or yeast autolysate. The present invention further provides a method for eliminating or reducing a steviol glycoside-related off- taste in a food or beverage composition. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of a yeast extract or yeast autolysate for eliminating or reducing a steviol glycoside- related off-taste in a food or beverage composition.

The use of 3-phenyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one in an edible composition for suppressing, eliminating or reducing undesirable off-tastes.
