FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to an edible composition. Composition contains a substance having a bitter taste, selected from KCl and potassium lactate, and a compound of Formula (I): - Formula (I)

or its enantiomer, or diastereomer, where provided that this allows requirements of valence and stability: X denotes S or O; each R independently denotes H, C₁-C₆-alkyl, C₂-C₆-alkenyl or C₂-C₆-alkynyl; where dotted line denotes E or Z double bond, or a combination of any of said compounds, and bitter taste of substance is reduced. Invention relates to a food product containing said composition. Invention relates to production of an edible composition containing substance, having a bitter taste, selected from KCl and potassium lactate, which involves adding to an edible carrier a compound of Formula (I), or enantiomer, or diastereomer, or a combination of any of said compounds. Said substance, having a bitter taste, is provided in an edible carrier, or said substance, having a bitter taste, is added to a consumable carrier. Invention relates to a method of reducing amount of sodium salt, selected from NaCl and sodium lactate, an edible composition and method of reducing consumption of sodium by a subject, which include replacement of said amount of said sodium salt, used when preparing said edible composition, with a certain amount of potassium salts, selected from KCl and potassium lactate. Introducing into said edible composition compound of Formula (I) or its enantiomer, or diastereomer, or a combination of any of said compounds, to produce edible composition with reduced content of NaCl or sodium lactate. Invention relates to methods for reduction of bitter taste, associated with a substance having a bitter taste, in an edible composition, where said substance is potassium salt, selected from KCl and potassium lactate. Methods involve providing edible composition containing a substance having bitter taste and adding a compound of Formula (I) or its enantiomer, or diastereomer, or a combination of any of said compounds, to edible composition ensuring reduction of any bitter taste, caused by substance having bitter taste. Said method involves intake of said compounds before, together with or after edible composition ensuring reduction of any bitter taste, caused by substance having a bitter taste. Invention relates to a method for conservation of edible composition, which involves introduction to composition of potassium lactate and compound of Formula (I) or its enantiomer, or diastereomer, or a combination of any of said compounds. Invention relates to a method of inhibiting, reducing or eliminating sensation of bitter taste in a subject, where substance having a bitter taste, is a potassium salt, selected from KCl and potassium lactate, wherein method includes placing said compounds into oral cavity of subject. Invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and consumer products, which contain a substance having a bitter taste, which is a potassium salt, selected from KCl and potassium lactate, and a compound of Formula (I), or its enantiomer or diastereomer, or a combination of any of said compounds.

EFFECT: reduction of bitter taste.
