  • Method of improving sweetness qualities of stevia extract
    Patent number: 9044038
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for improving the sweetness of stevia extract. A composition having an excellent sweetness quality can be obtained by combining rebaudioside A, which is a main sweetness component of stevia extract, with mogroside V, which is a main sweetness component of siraitia grosvenorii extract, at a weight ratio of 95:5 to 60:40. By using the mixture described above as a sweetener, favorable sweetness can be imparted to various products, such as foods, medicines or quasi drugs.

  • Sucralose-containing composition and edible products containing the composition
    Patent number: 7662419
    Abstract: A composition which is obtained by causing a specific compound to be present together with sucralose. The composition provides a sucralose in a stable form, more particularly, a sucralose which is still stable and thus is significantly suppressed with respect to the decrease in sweetness and discoloration (browning, blackening), even when it is subjected to a warming treatment under a condition wherein temperature is high and especially water content is low and/or pH is low. The stabilized sucralose-containing composition can be used as a sweetener by itself and as a compound with a food or a drug.
