Abstract:
This disclosure provides novel compositions comprising a compound of Formula I. These compositions are useful for improving mouthfeel properties of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as steviol glycosides and blends thereof, in food and beverages containing the same.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel sweetener compositions comprising a compound having a structure according to Formula I: wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are described herein. Also provided are methods of modulating sweetness profile of a product by adding a compound of Formula I to the product, such as a beverage product or a food product. For example, the compound described herein can be added to increase the overall sweetness of a nutritive sweetener sweetened beverages; decrease the sweetness time-of-onset for high potency sweeteners such as rebaudioside A; decreasing bitter, metallic and licorice off-notes of high potency sweeteners; and improve the sweet quality of sweetened products.
Abstract:
Beverage products are provided, e.g., a ready to drink cola beverage or a cola beverage concentrate or syrup, including water or carbonated water, acidulant comprising at least one acid, rebaudioside D present in a sweetening amount, and flavoring comprising cola flavoring. Rebaudioside D may be the only sweetener, or alternatively the beverage product further contains one or more additional sweeteners, for example rebaudioside A and/or other high intensity sweetener(s). Rebaudioside D optionally provides at least 10% of the total sweetening of the beverage product according to certain embodiments. Also, a natural carbonated cola beverage product and a beverage product are each provided containing a sweetening amount of rebaudioside D. The rebaudioside D ingredient used in certain methods of making the beverage products disclosed here optionally has a purity, i.e., a rebaudioside D concentration, of 93% or greater, such as 95% or greater, by weight.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides sweetener compositions, methods of using these compositions, and foods, beverages, and syrups comprising these compositions. The sweetener composition can comprise a sweetener and a sweetness enhancer. The composition can further comprise at least one supplemental sweetness enhancer and/or a salt.

Abstract:
D-psicose/erythritol compositions comprise, in combination, D-psicose and erythritol as sweeteners together with one or more other edible ingredients. Comestibles are provided, including beverage products and other food products, comprising the novel D-psicose/erythritol compositions. D-psicose and erythritol may each be present in a comestible in a concentration sufficient independently of the other to perceptibly sweeten the composition. An additional sweetener component and other ingredients may be included in the formulation.
Abstract:
A method of producing a diet carbonated soft drink comprising combining water and a sweetening amount of Rebaudioside D (Reb D) to produce Reb D sweetened water; injecting carbon dioxide into the Reb D sweetened water to produce carbonated Reb D sweetened water; combining the carbonated Reb D sweetened water with unsweetened syrup to form the diet carbonated soft drink. Alternatively, the method comprises combining water and a sweetening amount of Rebaudioside D (Reb D) to produce Reb D sweetened water; combining the Reb D sweetened water with syrup; injecting carbon dioxide into the combined Reb D sweetened water and syrup to produce the diet carbonated soft drink.

Abstract:
D-Psicose is included in a zero- or low-calorie frozen beverage to achieve a Brix and mouthfeel substantially similar to that of a full-calorie frozen beverage.
