  • Sweet taste improving compositions including naringenin and steviol glycosides
    Patent number: 11185096
    Abstract: A consumable composition may include naringenin at concentrations suitable to improve certain characteristics of the composition. Naringenin may, for example, be added to a composition or included in a sweetening composition that may be added therein to adjust sweetness attributes. For example, beverages that include one or more steviol glycosides may typically be deficient in upfront sweetness, and naringenin may be added therein to improve the temporal profile of sweetness delivery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2021
    Assignee: DR PEPPER/SEVEN UP, INC.

  • Reduced-Calorie Partially-Frozen Beverages
    Publication number: 20150132463
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage, concentrate syrup, mix and a method for making a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage. The freezing point of the partially-frozen beverage is depressed through the use of an L-sugar, such as, for example, L-hexose monosaccharide alone or in combination with other freezing point depressants. In a particular embodiment, L-glucose is added to a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage in a range between about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the finished beverage.

  • SWEETENING COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING REBAUDIOSIDES AND METHODS OF PREPARATION
    Publication number: 20130236629
    Abstract: A method of preparing a sweetening composition may include providing a stevia extract and heating the extract under acidic conditions. Treatment may subject the stevia extract to conditions sufficient to alter the glycoside composition of the extract, suppress bitter aftertastes, or provide a sweetening composition with a taste profile similar to that of sucrose sugar.
