    Abstract: Monk fruit extracts containing mogrol glycosides such as mogroside V may be treated with enzymes under specific reaction conditions to shift distribution of the Siamenoside I reaction product. Modified enzymes are also employed to shift Siamenoside I distribution to increase yield of Siamenoside I and reduce reaction contaminants. Methods of purifying bioconversion reaction product are also described. Siamenoside I obtained using these methods is a useful sweetener and flavor enhancer for food and beverage compositions and the like.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that include providing a cooler with a supply duct, a plurality of shelf plenums connected in fluid communication with the supply duct, and a return duct to implement precise temperature control over an internal cooling space of the cooler. Each of the shelf plenums may include openings disposed in a top surface of each shelf plenum. A supply airflow generated by a fan of a refrigeration system may pass the supply airflow through the supply duct to each of the plurality of shelf plenums, where the supply airflow may exit the shelf plenums through the openings in each shelf plenum to directly contact beverages and/or food products disposed on the top surface of the shelf plenums. The cooler may be further operated to supercool liquid beverages below a freezing point of the beverages without causing solidification and/or crystallization of the beverages.

    Abstract: A beverage nucleator system for a supercooled beverage container may include a frame for receiving a beverage container and an ultrasonic transmitter positioned therein. A convex protrusion from the ultrasonic transmitter ensures good contact and therefore good transfer of ultrasonic energy through a top surface of a closure of the beverage container, even if the beverage container is positioned within the frame at an angle to the ultrasonic transmitter. Alternatively or additionally, a packaging holder comprising a plurality of supports may be provided to ensure that the top surface of the closure is parallel with the ultrasonic transmitter.
