Abstract:
Methods for purifying steviol glycosides, including Rebaudioside X, are provided herein. Sweetener and sweetened containing Rebaudioside X are also provided herein. Methods of improving the flavor and/or temporal profile of sweetenable compositions, such as beverages, are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to improving the taste of natural high-potency non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners and compositions sweetened therewith. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions that can improve the tastes of natural high-potency non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners by imparting a more sugar-like taste or characteristic. In particular, the compositions and methods provide a more sugar-like temporal profile, including sweetness onset and sweetness linger, and/or a more sugar-like flavor profile, including osmotic taste.

Abstract:
Methods of preparing concentrated solutions of crystalline steviol glycoside compositions having relatively high rebaudioside M content are provided herein. The concentrated solutions are stable and can be used to prepared beverage syrups and, ultimately, beverages. Methods of preparing beverage syrups and beverages are also detailed herein.
Abstract:
Novel mogrosides and methods for heir purification are provided herein. In addition, compositions comprising said novel mogrosides and methods for preparing the same are provided.

Abstract:
Mogrosides containing non-glucose glycosides are provided herein. Compositions, including consumables comprising the novel mogrosides described herein, are also provided.
Abstract:
Sweetened compositions comprising at least one sweetener and rebaudioside X are provided herein. Rebaudioside X is present in the sweetened compositions in a concentration at or below the sweetness recognition threshold, while the at least one sweetener is present in a concentration above its sweetness recognition threshold. Rebaudioside X acts to enhance the sweetness of the sweetened compositions, e.g. beverages and concentrate compositions, thereby allowing for preparation of sweetened compositions with reduced calorie content. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a sweetened composition with rebaudioside X are also provided herein.
Abstract:
A Stevia extract made from leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant is described. The extract has desired levels of steviol glycosides and is useful in food, beverage, and other consumable products.
