The present invention relates to high intensity sweetener glycosides which have been modified using a glycosyltransferase so as to reduce off-flavours. The invention also relates to uses of the modified high intensity sweetener glycosides and methods of production thereof.
Claims5
A method for modifying a high intensity sweetener glycoside so as to reduce one or more off flavors, the method comprising:
- a) contacting the high intensity sweetener glycoside with a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) in the presence of maltodextrin under conditions effective to result in:
- (i) at least a partial increase of glycoside chains of the high intensity sweetener glycoside;
- and/or
- (ii) at least a partial increase of the glycoside chains of a portion of the high intensity sweetener glycoside;
- so as to form modified high intensity sweetener glycosides or mixture of partially modified high intensity sweetener glycosides,
- wherein the high intensity sweetener glycoside is a Mogroside.
