In one aspect, the disclosure relates to sweetener and/or umami compositions, methods of making same, products comprising same, and methods of improving mouthfeel in a product, e.g., a savory or umami food or beverage. In various aspects, the disclosed compositions comprise a sweetening agent and/or an umami agent and a taste modulator component. In various aspects, the disclosed sweetener compositions comprise a sweetening agent and a taste modulator component. In further aspects, the disclosed savory compositions comprise an umami agent and a taste modulator component. In further aspects, the disclosed taste modulator composition can further comprise an additional CaSR modulator. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a carbonated beverage comprising a stevia extract in which foaming is suppressed and a method for producing the same. A carbonated beverage comprising RebA and RebD and/or RebM, wherein a content of RebA is 500 ppm or less; a content of RebD and/or RebM is 486 ppm or less; ((RebD and/or RebM)/RebA) is 0.45 or more in a mass ratio; and a total content of RebA and RebD and/or RebM is 0.5 to 13.5 in Brix in terms of sucrose.

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.

Various organic molecules, ingredients and compositions are prepared from Stevia rebaudiana plant. The compositions can be used as bulking agents, and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

The invention relates to recombinant microorganisms and methods for producing mogroside compounds and mogroside precursors.

A sweetening composition comprising sucralose and a purified extract of stevia.

Sweetener compositions comprising particular glycoside compositions are described herein. The glycoside compositions comprise rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside D, and rebaudioside M in various proportions. The sweetener compositions can also include one or more bulking agents or other ingredients. The sweetener compositions can be used in foods and beverages.

Disclosed are methods of making a sweetener composition of high intensity sweetener and syrup.

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to sweetener compositions, methods of making same, and products comprising same. In various aspects, the disclosed sweetener compositions comprise a sweetening agent and a taste modulator component. The taste modulator component improves key properties associated with many sweetening agents, including maximal sweetness response; mitigates flavor profile issues such as bitter and/or licorice-like off-tastes; improves sweetness onset rate and lingering sweet aftertaste properties; improves desensitization/adaptation profile issues; and improves body/mouthfeel characteristics. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Steviol glycoside compositions comprising certain proportions of rebaudioside D, rebaudioside M, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside N, rebaudioside O, and rebaudioside E are provided. Sweetener compositions comprising the steviol glycoside compositions and additional substances are also provided. Consumables, particularly beverages and beverage products containing said steviol glycoside compositions, and sweetener compositions comprising the same, are also provided. Methods of preparing the sweetener compositions and consumables are also detailed herein.
