Abstract
A composition includes (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside and (iii) an effective amount of a taste modifier. A sweetened composition includes the composition and at least one other sweetener, and a sweetened consumable containing the composition or the sweetened composition. Methods of making the composition, sweetened compositions and sweetened consumables are also provided. Methods of using the compositions to reduce the amount of sugar present in a sweetened consumable, to enhance the sweetness of sweetened compositions and sweetened consumables, and/or to modify a characteristic of a sweetened consumable is further provided.
Claims39
A composition comprising:
- (i) rebaudioside M,
- (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside, and
- (iii) an effective amount of taste modifier,
- wherein the amount of said glucosylated steviol glycoside present in the sweetness modifying composition is greater than the amount of rebaudioside M present in the sweetness modifying composition.
A sweetened composition comprising:
- at least one sweetener, and
- a composition comprising (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) an effective amount of a taste modifier, wherein the amount of said glucosylated steviol glycoside present in the composition comprising the (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) the glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) the effective amount of a taste modifier is greater than the amount of rebaudioside M present in the composition comprising the (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) the glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) the taste modifier.
A sweetened consumable comprising:
- a food or beverage base composition comprising at least one sweetener present in an amount at or above its sweetness recognition threshold and/or having a sweetness equal to or greater than about 1.5% (w/v) sucrose equivalence, and
- a composition comprising (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) an effective amount of an off-note masking and mouthfeel improving ingredient, wherein the amount of said glucosylated steviol glycoside present in the composition is greater than the amount of rebaudioside M present in the composition.
A method of enhancing the sweetness of a sweetened composition, the method comprising:
- providing a base composition comprising at least one sweetener present in an amount at or above its sweetness recognition threshold and/or having a sweetness equal to or greater than about 1.5% (w/v) sucrose equivalence, and
- adding a composition to said base composition, the sweetness comprising (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) an effective amount of a taste modifier, wherein the amount of said glucosylated steviol glycoside present in the composition is greater than the amount of rebaudioside M present in the composition.
A method of reducing the amount of sugar in a sweetened composition, the method comprising:
- providing a base composition comprising at least one sweetener present in an amount at or above its sweetness recognition threshold and/or having a sweetness equal to or greater than about 1.5% (w/v) sucrose equivalence, and
- adding a composition to said base composition, the composition comprising (i) rebaudioside M, (ii) a glucosylated steviol glycoside, and (iii) an effective amount of a taste modifier, wherein the amount of said glucosylated steviol glycoside present in the composition is greater than the amount of rebaudioside M present in the composition.
