Claims21
A method for improving the taste profile of a beverage, comprising the steps of:
- (1) adding a Maillard reaction product (MRP) composition to the beverage, wherein the MRP composition is produced by heating a reaction mixture comprising (A) one or more reducing sugars comprising a free carbonyl group and (B) one or more amine donors comprising a free amino group at a temperature for a period of time sufficient to initiate a Maillard reaction;
- and
- (2) adding a sweetener composition to the beverage, wherein the sweetener comprising one or more Stevia-related components selected from the group consisting of Stevia extracts, glycosylated Stevia extracts, steviol glycosides, and glycosylated steviol glycosides to produce a final product,
- wherein the MRP composition is present in the final product in a concentration of 0.1-15,000 ppm.
