Abstract: A rebaudioside D containing sweetening composition exhibiting taste like sugar containing a carrier and rebaudioside D is disclosed. A method of making the rebaudioside D containing sweetening composition; and a method of using the rebaudioside D containing sweetening composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for making cold brew beverage compositions including concentrates and apparatus for preparing cold brew beverage compositions. The disclosed processes and apparatus allow for efficient, rapid, industrial scale production of cold brew beverage compositions having improved total solid content, improved flavor stability, longer shelf-life, and adaptability to use in small volume containers.

Abstract: A sweetening composition comprising sucralose and a purified extract of stevia.

Abstract: A comprehensive process for the separation, isolation and characterization of a combination of two or more steviol glycosides from extract of Stevia rebaudiana plants and their use in sweetening compositions are disclosed. Combinations of two or more steviol glycosides from Stevia rebaudiana are characterized. The combinations of two or more steviol glycosides can be used as sweetness enhancers, flavor enhancers and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. A method for isolating combinations of two or more steviol glycosides is also disclosed.

Abstract: A co-crystallization composition containing erythritol and an active; a method of making the co-crystallization composition; and a method of using the co-crystallization composition are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for molding a vessel, such as a bottle, with a high quality sealing surface are described herein. In one embodiment, a stepped blow pin can be used to form the sealing surface of a bottle. A stepped blow pin can include a body with a distal end and a proximal end. The blow pin can include a first region that includes a first diameter and a first engagement surface. The blow pin can further include a second region that includes a second diameter. The second region can be positioned between the first region and the distal end. A transition section can be positioned between the first region and second region. The blow pin can also include a top surface position at the proximal end, and a bottom surface positioned at the distal end.
