  • SENSORY MODIFIERS
    Publication number: 20210378276
    Abstract: A sensory modifier can provide a steviol glycoside composition with modified sensory attributes, e.g., reduced sweetness linger or reduced bitterness. One such sensory modifier includes a salt fraction and an acid fraction. The salt fraction may include a salt of a monocaffeoylquinic acid and/or a salt of a dicaffeoylquinic acid. The acid fraction may include a monocaffeoylquinic acid and/or a dicaffeoylquinic acid. The salt fraction is preferably at least 50 wt % of sensory modifier.

  • METHODS FOR MAKING BOTANICAL EXTRACT COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20210290717
    Abstract: A method for making a caffeoylquinic composition from a botanical source is disclosed. The method may include chromatographing an extract of biomass on an ion exchange stationary phase and obtaining an eluent comprising a caffeoylquinic composition. The biomass may be stevia or yerba mate, for example. The caffeoylquinic composition includes one or more of monocaffeoylquinic acid, dicaffeoylquinic acid, and salts of the foregoing.

  • STABILIZED STEVIOL GLYCOSIDE COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20200268027
    Abstract: It has been surprisingly found that the presence of steviol glycoside stabilizing compounds, such as the solubility enhancers described herein, significantly increases the stability of steviol glycosides under most conditions, including highly acidic conditions (e.g., at a pH less than 2, such as the conditions to which SGs might be exposed to, in use, in a throw syrup) and/or at elevated a temperatures (e.g., at temperatures exceeding 25° C., such as at 40° C.).

  • STEVIOL GLYCOSIDE COMPOSITIONS WITH REDUCED SURFACE TENSION
    Publication number: 20190223482
    Abstract: A steviol glycoside composition with reduced surface tension. The reduced surface tension steviol glycoside composition includes an aqueous solution of a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound in an amount effective to reduce surface tension. Method for reducing surface tension in a steviol glycoside solution includes contacting a steviol glycoside and a surface tension reducing compound.

  • STEVIOL GLYCOSIDE SOLUBILITY ENHANCERS
    Publication number: 20190223481
    Abstract: A solubilized steviol glycoside composition including one or more steviol glycosides and one or more steviol glycoside solubility enhancers can be used as a sweetener composition to sweeten other compositions (sweetenable compositions) such as foods, beverages, medicines, oral hygiene compositions, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and the like.
