TURMERIC-DERIVED COMPONENT-CONTAINING COMPOSITION FOR ORAL INGESTION TO BE MASTICATED IN ORAL CAVITY AND/OR DISSOLVED IN ORAL CAVITY

摘要

To reduce bitterness in the ingestion of a turmeric-derived component-containing composition for oral ingestion which is to be masticated in the oral cavity and/or dissolved in the oral cavity. In a turmeric-derived component-containing composition for oral ingestion which is to be masticated in the oral cavity and/or dissolved in the oral cavity, the bitterness of the turmeric-derived component is reduced by adding granular calcium lactate thereto. In a chewable tablet containing a turmeric-derived component, the bitterness of the turmeric-derived component is reduced and, at the same time, such a hardness as to facilitate biting and grinding in the oral cavity is imparted by adding granular calcium lactate thereto.
