Procedure

The same methodology as described in Example 7 was repeated with 2,4-DHB in place of 3-HB, to produce the dose response curve for 2,4-DHB (FIG. 2). From FIG. 2 it can be seen that 2,4-DHB also enhances the sweetness of the sucrose solution but there is little difference between the 400 ppm solution (SEV 6.5%) and the 1000 ppm solution (SEV 6.7%). The maximum attainable sweetness would appear to be about 6.7% SEV (based on a 5% sucrose solution).
