Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention teaches novel compositions and methods for altering the sweetness delivery profile of 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose. This invention also teaches novel uses for compositions comprising 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose.
Claims11
A composition comprising 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose and at least one halogenated sugar derivative having a formula selected from the group of the following formulae (I-III):
- 7
- wherein
- R1 represents a hydroxy group, an acyl group, or a halogen atom;
- R2 and R3 respectively represent:
- (a) a hydrogen atom and a hydroxy group;
- (b) a hydrogen and a halogen atom;
- (c) a halogen atom and a hydrogen atom;
- or
- (d) a hydroxy group and a hydrogen atom;
- R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, or a halogen atom;
- and 8
- wherein
- R1 represents a hydroxy group, an acyl group, or a halogen atom;
- R2 and R3 respectively represent:
- (a) a hydrogen atom and a hydroxy group;
- (b) a hydrogen and a halogen atom;
- (c) a halogen atom and a hydrogen atom;
- or
- (d) a hydroxy group and a hydrogen atom;
- R4, R5, R8, R9 and R10 represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, or a halogen atom;
- and 9
- wherein
- R1 represents a hydroxy group, an acyl group, or a halogen atom;
- R2 and R3 respectively represent:
- (a) a hydrogen atom and a hydroxy group;
- (b) a hydrogen and a halogen atom;
- (c) a halogen atom and a hydrogen atom;
- or
- (d) a hydroxy group and a hydrogen atom;
- and
- R5, R8, and R10 represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, or a halogen atom,
- wherein said halogenated sugar derivative is in an amount from about 0.250% to about 2.0% of said composition by weight and wherein said 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose is in an amount from about 98.0% to about 99.750% of said composition by weight.
A composition comprising 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose and at least one halogenated sugar derivative wherein said halogenated sugar derivative is in an amount from about 0.250% to about 2.0% of said composition by weight and wherein said 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose is in an amount from about 98.0% to about 99.750% of said composition by weight.
A composition comprising 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose and at least one halogenated sugar derivative wherein the weight ratio of said halogenated sugar derivative to said 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose is from about 1:400 to about 1:50.
A method for altering the sweetness delivery profile of 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose comprising the step of supplying a composition comprising 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose and at least one halogenated sugar derivative wherein the weight ratio of said halogenated sugar derivative to said 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose is from about 1:400 to about 1:50.
