  • Patent number: 9060537
    Abstract: A clear Reb D solution is prepared by adding Reb D powder to water and heating to completely dissolve the Reb D powder, or by extracting Reb D from stevia plant using hot/boiling water or water/ethanol, wherein the temperature of the clear Reb D solution is above 70° C. Ideally, the clear Reb D solution is mixed with a solubilizing enhancer, wherein the temperature of the enhanced Reb D solution is maintained above 70° C., and wherein the solubilizing enhancer is a hydroxyl-containing sweetener. A stabilizer is then added to the Reb D solution to produce a stabilized Reb D solution; wherein the stabilizer comprises a thickener or anti-agglomeration agent. The stabilized Reb D solution is spray dried to form a powder. The solubility of Rebaudioside D is enhanced in water-based fluids, in particular in beverage concentrates and syrups 1.

  • Publication number: 20130056551
    Abstract: Gelatin capsules encapsulating an aroma material including at least one aroma compound may be applied to product packaging, such as food packaging etc., with a secondary protective coating, e.g., at the interface of a container and its closure device. The gelatin capsules can be ruptured or broken when the container is opened, thereby releasing the aroma compound and causing a favorable aroma for the consumer. The secondary protective coating can reduce or prevent degradation of the gelatin capsules during product packaging, transport, and storage, thereby enhancing their performance.
