CA 2227629

A method is provided for increasing the pH of acidic foods and beverages, to thereby reduce the tendency of such foodstuffs to cause heartburn and other esophageal and/or gastrointestinal distress to the consumer. An acidic food or beverage, such as coffee, is combined with an amount of calcium glycerophosphate (CGP) effective to raise the pH of the food or beverage, preferably by at least about 0.5 pH units, and more preferably to a pH of between about 5.4 and 7Ø Edible compositions including CGP, having a pH of greater than about 5.4 are obtained. The CGP may also be added to acidic foods to remove the biting flavor that such foods have, and thus CGP serves as a flavor modulator. Packages comprising CGP inside a container, where the container may be easily opened to provide a single dose of CGP, are useful in the method and in forming the edible compositions.

Divulgation d'une méthode pour augmenter le pH d'aliments et de boissons acides et ainsi réduire leur tendance à causer des aigreurs d'estomac et à provoquer d'autres troubles au niveau de l'oesophage et/ou du tube digestif du consommateur. Un aliment ou une boisson acide, le café par exemple, est combiné avec une quantité donnée de glycérophosphate de calcium (GPC) efficace pour accroître le pH de l'aliment ou de la boisson, de préférence d'au moins environ 0,5 unité de pH, encore plus préférablement à un pH situé entre environ 5,4 et 7,0. On obtient ainsi des compositions comestibles contenant du GPC et ayant un pH supérieur à environ 5,4. Le GPC peut également être ajouté à des aliments acides comme modulateur de goût, en particulier pour enlever leur goût piquant. Le GPC peut être conditionné dans des contenants faciles à ouvrir et contenant une dose unitaire de GPC, lesdits récipients étant utilisés pour cette méthode et pour produire ces compositions comestibles.
