Concealing the taste of the Guinness World's most bitter substance by using a synthetic nanocontainer

Abstract

Upon supramolecular encapsulation by using a synthetic nanocontainer (cucurbit[7]uril), the taste of the Guinness World's most bitter substance, denatonium benzoate, was dramatically concealed during a two-bottle preference drinking test in a mammalian model, demonstrating the significant potential of cucurbit[7]uril as a taste-masking nanocontainer for the first time.
