Abstract: The invention relates to canned fruits containing a sweetener compositions formed acesulfame-K and sucralose in a weight ratio ranging from 70/30 to 98/2. In addition, the invention relates to processes for at least partially replacing sucrose (sugar) in canned fruit, and make-up solutions containing the inventive sweetener compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions which include (i) Isomaltulose and (ii) Aspartame or a blend of high intensity sweeteners including aspartame and one or more high intensity sweetener other than aspartame. The inventive compositions improve the stability of aspartame.

Abstract: The present invention provides texturizing compositions imparting advantageous organoleptic properties to reduced-sugar and sugar-free foodstuffs. The texturizing compositions generally include a mixture of tagatose and at least one long chain carbohydrate. The texturizing compositions have a synergistic effect on the organoleptic properties of the resulting foodstuffs, particularly mouthfeel. Accordingly, lesser amounts of the texturizing compositions may be incorporated into foodstuffs.

Abstract: The present invention provides fat replacement compositions imparting advantageous organoleptic properties to reduced calorie foodstuffs. The fat replacement compositions generally include a mixture of tagatose and at least one indigestible oligosaccharide. The instant fat replacement compositions have a synergistic effect on the organoleptic properties of the resulting reduced calorie foodstuffs, particularly mouthfeel and creaminess. Accordingly, lesser amounts of the instant reduced-fat compositions may be incorporated into the reduced calorie foodstuffs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sweetener combination of acesulfame-K and sucralose in a weight ratio of at least 75/25 for sweetening preserved fruit. The invention further relates to a process for the at least partial replacement of sucrose (sugar) in preserved fruit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to wood which contains a sorbic acid store and to processes for producing the sorbic acid store in the wood or on the surface of the wood. The present invention also relates to a process for using sorbic acid and its salts for protecting wood from microbially induced degradation.
