You should use sweetening and flavoring agents. Tween 80 is used as additive i.e. to stabilize two immiscible phases and any attempt to mask taste of an additive will not be favorable. You should ensure to use amount of Tween 80 that is used to coat internal phase and remove any excessive surfactant.

Thanks Mubashar Rehman. But it taste like oil and after taste is bitter.

Can glycerine addition will help in this ?

Glycerine cannot mask the bitter taste. Please tell me what concentration of Tween 80 you are using? Also note the difference between syrup and emulsion.

I want to make multi vitamin syrup and to dissolve BHA and oil soluble vitamin I need to use tween 80. Working to optimize tween 80 conc.

You can use another non-ionic surfactant without bitter taste, e,g., kolliphor RH 40, TPGS or Mirj 52

^_^ PVP K30 and PEG 6000 can be used in this sittuation

Hey did you ever figure out what to use?

Hey, even if it's probably not that relevant anymore - you could try sucralose as sweetener. Works pretty well!
