Patent number: 11918014Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Dan S. Gaspard, Michael Alan Mortenson, Adam T. Zarth

Publication number: 20220295849Abstract: Compositions and uses for steviol glycoside compounds having four glucopyranose residues attached via the number 13 carbon (C13) of the steviol moiety and a second group of two or three glucopyranose residues attached via the number 19 carbon (C19) of the steviol moiety are described, and exemplified by compounds SG101-104. A steviol glycoside composition including one or more of compounds SG101-104 in combination with other steviol glycosides including other rebaudiosides 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Ting Liu Carlson, Dan S.
