  • Patent number: 11739353
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for producing steviol glycosides, such as rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M, using engineered yeast. The methods include at least two phases: first and second phases where a glucose-containing feed composition is provided to the medium in different modes of feeding in each phase, such as variable feeding and then constant feeding. The two phase feeding can result in a growth rate that is slower in the second phase than in the first phase, and consequently increased steviol glycoside production rates, reduced fermentation times, and reduced biomass concentrations.

  • Publication number: 20230044540
    Abstract: Novel steviol glycoside compounds characterized by a first group of 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 1-4. These compounds can be present in a composition with other steviol glycosides (e.g., Reb D and Reb M) to enhance their solubilities. Accordingly, the novel compounds can facilitate the preparation of aqueous compositions having a higher concentration of steviol glycosides. A steviol glycoside composition including one or more of compounds 1-4 can be used as a sweetener composition to sweeten other compositions (sweetenable compositions) such as foods, beverages, medicines, oral hygiene compositions, nutraceuticals, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20210068360
    Abstract: Plants, and methods of generating plants, having an increased content of rebaudioside D and oilier desirable characteristics are disclosed. Rebaudioside D (rebD) has been observed to have desirable sweetening properties, and accordingly, it has been desirable to produce Stevia plant lines, cultivars, and varieties with defined glycoside profiles where rebD is increased in content, either on a total weight basis of Stevia leaves, relative to other glycosides (e.g., rebA, or stevioside), or both.
