Abstract
A readily dissolvable steviol glycoside composition comprising a steviol glycoside and a dissolution enhancer compound in an amount effective to increase dissolution of the steviol glycoside.
Claims19
A method for preparing a steviol glycoside solution, the method comprising:
- adding to an aqueous solution crystalline rebaudioside M;
- one or more dicaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof;
- and one or more monocaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof to form the steviol glycoside solution,
- wherein rebaudioside M is at least 70% by weight of total steviol glycosides in the steviol glycoside solution;
- and
- wherein dissolution of rebaudioside M at room temperature is faster than dissolution of rebaudioside M alone without the one or more dicaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof and without the one or more monocaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof, such that when the crystalline rebaudioside M;
- one or more dicaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof;
- and one or more monocaffeoylquinic acids or salts thereof added to an aqueous solution to form a 3000 ppm steviol glycoside solution, the rebaudioside M is completely dissolved in less than 15 minutes.
