The use of ligustrosidic acid or a derivative thereof to enhance the sweetness of a sweetness modifier and to decrease the amount of a sweetness modifier used in a consumable is provided.

The present invention provides a high sweet content stevia plant having a variation at a portion corresponding to SEQ ID NO: 1, a method of producing or screening for the same, etc.

The present invention relates to a sweetener composition comprising rebaudioside-M and 1,3-propanediol which may be used in foods or beverages. The composition may also comprise one or more flavourings and/or one or more additives.

Novel steviol glycoside compounds characterized by a first group of four glucopyranose residues attached via the number 13 carbon (C13) of the steviol moiety and a second group of two or three glucopyranose residues attached via the number 19 carbon (C19) of the steviol moiety are described, and exemplified by compounds 1-4. These compounds can be present in a composition with other steviol glycosides (e.g., Reb D and Reb M) to enhance their solubilities. Accordingly, the novel compounds can facilitate the preparation of Compound name (C-13) aqueous compositions having a higher concentration of steviol glycosides. A steviol glycoside composition including one or more of compounds 1-4 can be used as a sweetener composition to sweeten other compositions (sweetenable compositions) such as foods, beverages, medicines, oral hygiene compositions, nutraceuticals, and the like.

The invention relates to recombinant microorganisms and methods for producing steviol glycosides and steviol glycoside precursors.

Disclosed is a natural compound sweetener, comprising mogroside V, rebaudioside A, natural tea theanine and dietary fibre. The method for preparing the sweetener comprises the steps of: (1) dissolution, filtration, concentration and sterilization: dissolving the mogroside V, rebaudioside A, natural tea theanine and dietary fibre in water, filtering, concentrating in a vacuum, and sterilizing to obtain a sterilized solution; and (2) paste-collection, drying and granulation: carrying out paste-collection on the sterilized solution obtained in the step (1), vacuum drying the collected liquid paste, and drying and then granulating the dry powder to obtain the sweetener.

Stevia extracts with selected major steviol glycosides (Reb A, stevioside, Reb D, Reb C) and minor steviol glycosides and glycosylated diterpene derivative plant molecules, derived from Stevia rebaudiana plant are found to improve the perception of flavor and taste perception, which includes the sweet, savory and salty perception in a wide range of food and beverage applications.

The present invention relates to an allulose syrup and method of preparing the same, and more specifically, an allulose syrup with proper viscosity ranges, including viscosity-regulating agent and a dispersant and method of preparing the same.

The present disclosure relates to the production of steviol glycosides rebaudioside J and rebaudioside N through the use of rebaudioside A as a substrate and a biosynthetic pathway involving various 1,2 RhaT-rhamnosyltransferases.

A stevia cultivar, designated ‘16265046’, is disclosed. The embodiments of the invention relate to the plant parts of stevia cultivar ‘16265046’, to the plants of stevia ‘16265046’ and to methods for producing a stevia plant produced by crossing the cultivar ‘16265046’ with itself or another stevia variety, including methods using marker assisted breeding. The embodiments further relate to hybrid stevia seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar ‘16265046’ with another stevia cultivar. Twelve highly polymorphic SNPs loci and the corresponding genomic sequences used to identify plant variety ‘16265046’-derived plant materials are also disclosed.
