Mogrosides containing non-glucose glycosides are provided herein. Compositions, including consumables comprising the novel mogrosides described herein, are also provided.

A sugar-reduced sweetener can be a high-intensity sweetener, a bulk sweetener, or a one sugar sweetener. The dosages of the high-intensity sweetener and the bulk sweetener satisfy a condition that the sweetness of the two compounded approaches to that of the sugar sweetener. Flavor, sweetness, taste and efficacy of original sugar sweet substances, for example, common sugar varieties in life such as sucrose and brown sugar can be reserved, and the sugar-reduced sweetener can replace sucrose perfectly. During use, according to the requirements of the sugar reduction ratio, the sugar sweetening substances can be added in any proportion, which can greatly reduce the sugar content so as to achieve the purpose of lowering and reducing sugar. In a preparation method of the sugar-reduced sweetener of the present invention, an intermittent spraying method is adopted, so that the quality of a final product is stable.

A food or beverage product is provided comprising a steviol glycoside composition, said composition comprising 5-30 wt % rebaudioside M (reb M), 15-35 wt % rebaudioside AM (reb AM), and 10-25 wt % rebaudioside N2 (reb N2) based on the total amount of steviol glycosides in the product, wherein the steviol glycoside composition is present in an amount below its sweetness threshold. It is found that the food or beverage product has a modified or enhanced flavor compared to a food or beverage product not comprising the steviol glycoside composition.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

The present invention concerns a flavouring composition comprising hesperetin and hesperetin dihydrochalcone for improving the taste profile in a preparation. Furthermore, the present invention relates to preparations having a balanced taste profile as well as a method for improving the taste profile of a preparation.

A flavor composition is provided. The composition includes a dihydrochalcone selected from the group consisting of hesperetin dihydrochalcone, hesperetin dihydrochalcone 4-beta-D-glucoside, and combinations thereof, and an aroma ingredient selected from the group consisting of furonol, ethyl furanone, maltol, furfural, 5-methyl furfural, vanillin, benzaldehyde, and combinations thereof.

A process for producing a dried product, optionally in the form of a flake, the process comprising (a) combining an active ingredient with a carrier, and an optional stabilizer, to create a wet mixture, wherein the active ingredient and carrier are in a ratio of about 1:1 to about 1:250 in the wet mixture; (b) spreading the wet mixture on a belt of a thin film belt dryer with a belt temperature in the range of about 60 C.-92 C.; and (c) drying the mixture to produce a dried product with less than about 7% moisture, optionally about 2-5% moisture, and a water activity of about 0.15 and about 0.65; as well as a dried product that can be produced by the method, and related methods and compositions.

The present disclosure relates to sweetened fibers, compositions thereof, and products comprising the sweetened fiber of the present disclosure, and uses thereof. The present disclosure also relates to methods of preparing the sweetened fibers of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure provides a combination of steviol glycosides having the feature of various taste qualities. According to an aspect, the present disclosure provides a rebaudioside composition containing at least one among rebaudioside A, rebaudioside D, and rebaudioside M. According to an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a rebaudioside composition containing rebaudioside A, rebaudioside D, and rebaudioside M. The content of the rebaudioside A, the rebaudioside D, and/or the rebaudioside M in the rebaudioside composition according to the present disclosure may be about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or the like.

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.
