DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure pertains to protein powder compositions that provide an enhanced perception of an active substance contained therein. Particularly, the present disclosure pertains to protein powder compositions, wherein the composition comprises active substance, a flavoring agent, and a taste potentiator, and wherein the taste potentiator may increase the perception of the active substance upon consumption.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The taste receptor cells located in taste buds primarily on the surface of the tongue and palate in the oral cavity sense five primary categories of taste including sour, salty, sweet, bitter and umami (savory or the taste of glutamate). It is understood that the sour and salty tastes are detected by the passage of ions, hydrogen and sodium, respectively, through the ion channels in taste bud cells thus, triggering a nerve impulse that is sensed in the brain. Sweet, bitter and umami tastes are perceived by physical binding of tastants to G-protein coupled receptors initiating a series of signaling events that trigger a nerve impulse that is sensed in the brain.
[0004] Conventional protein powder compositions available either have neutral flavor or are available only in one type of flavor in a single pack. These conventional protein powder compositions may lead to insensitivity to same taste due to repeated exposure. This may lead to neurotransmitters and taste receptors to ignore and later reject the taste. This may be identified as boredom to the protein powder compositions which is generally recommended to be taken at least once daily.
[0005] There is, therefore, a need in the art to develop a new and improved protein powder composition that allows choice of several flavors. Thus, a different flavor and a taste potentiator available for each time the protein powder composition is consumed, does not allow boredom to a single taste due to the insensitivity that occurs by repeated exposure to the same taste.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Primary object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition that overcomes one or more limitations associated with the conventional protein powder compositions/formulations.
[0007] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a protein powder composition that aids in reducing boredom and insensitivity that occurs by repeated exposure to the same taste and flavor.
[0008] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a protein powder composition that is easy to prepare and economical.
[0009] Other objects of the present disclosure will be apparent from the description of the invention herein below.
