Abstract: Long-lasting fragrance compositions are provided for. The fragrance compositions can include at least one fragrance compound and a glycoside. The glycoside can be selected from a Steviol glycoside, a glucosylated Steviol glycoside, a derivative of a Steviol glycoside, a derivative of a glucosylated Steviol glycoside, or combinations thereof. Also provided for are products including a long-lasting fragrance composition as above. The products can include perfumes, body care products, cosmetics, cleaning and laundry products, and the like.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a mobile rig configured to control a photoperiodic response of a photoperiodically sensitive plant subject (e.g., a short-day plant) planted in an open field. The mobile rig includes a support structure; wheels; and light sources attached to the support structure at a position for emitting light on an upper surface of the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject. The mobile rig includes or is coupled to a control circuit having processing circuitry configured to cause the mobile rig to navigate across an open field having the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject planted therein and selectively illuminate the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject using the light sources attached to the mobile rig, for instance, during nighttime hours in a wavelength range between approximately 250 nm and approximately 800 nm to control the photoperiodic response of the photoperiodically sensitive plant subject planted therein.

Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to sweetener compositions, methods of making same, and products comprising same. In various aspects, the disclosed sweetener compositions comprise a sweetening agent and a taste modulator component. The taste modulator component improves key properties associated with many sweetening agents, including maximal sweetness response; mitigates flavor profile issues such as bitter and/or licorice-like off-tastes; improves sweetness onset rate and lingering sweet aftertaste properties; improves desensitization/adaptation profile issues; and improves body/mouthfeel characteristics. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for an irrigation rig (100) comprising a plurality of light sources (103) and methods of illuminating short-day plants. As described herein, a mobile irrigation rig (100) may comprise a plurality of light sources (103) attached to a support arm of the mobile irrigation rig (100), wherein the plurality of light sources (103) are configured to emit light on a subject during a mobile or stationary operation of the irrigation rig (100). The irrigation rig (100), using the plurality of light sources (103), may illuminate a short-day plant with light to control a bloom or a flowering of a plant subject.

Abstract: There is provided processes for the purification of rebaudioside A from Steviol glycoside compositions, such as Stevia extracts. Also provided are pure compositions and formulations thereof of rebaudioside A with traces amounts of remaining steviol glycosides of less than 1%. Also provided are prepared foods, beverages, medicines and dietary supplements containing pure rebaudioside A.
