Abstract
Sweetener compositions comprising a flavor/taste modifying agent; and a high intensity sweetner (HIS) are discosed. The flavor/taste modifying agent is present at an amount sufficient to enhance a flavor and/or taste profile of the HIS in the sweetener composition.
Claims21
A composition comprising
- (1) a flavor/taste modifying agent;
- and
- (2) a high intensity sweetner (HIS),
- wherein the flavor/taste modifying agent is present at an amount sufficient to enhance a flavor and/or taste profile of the HIS.
A method for a modifying a flavor or a taste profile of a high-intensity sweetener (HIS), comprising the step of adding to the HIS a flavor/taste modifying agent,
- wherein the flavor/taste modifying agent is selected from the group consisting of stevia extracts (SEs), glycosylated stevia extracts (G-SEs), stevia extract-MRPs (SE-MRPs), glycosylated stevia extract-MRPs (G-SE-MRPs), stevia glycosides (SGs), glycosylated stevia glycosides (GSGs), stevia glycoside-MRPs (SG-MRPs), glycosylated stevia glycoside-MRPs (GSG-MRPs), sweet tea extracts (STEs), glycosylated sweet tea extracts (G-STEs), sweet tea extract-MRPs (ST-MRPs), glycosylated sweet tea extract-MRPs (G-ST-MRPs), sweet tea glycosides (STGs), glycosylated sweet tea glycosides (G-STGs), sweet tea glycoside-MRPs (STG-MRPs), glycosylated sweet tea glycoside-MRPs (G-STG-MRPs), monk fruit extracts (MFEs), glycosylated monk fruit extracts (G-MFEs), monk fruit glycosides (MFGs), glycosylated monk fruit glycosides (G-MFG), monk fruit glycoside-MRPs (MFG-MRPs) and glycosylated monk fruit glycoside-MRPs (G-MFG-MRPs), and
- wherein the flavor/taste modifying agent is present at an amount sufficient to enhance a flavor and/or taste profile of the HIS.
A method for identifying chemical species associated with an olfactory taste attribute, comprising:
- (a) generating a first aerosol sample from a first test sample with a sample testing device that comprises:
- an aerosol generator for generating an aerosol from a test sample;
- a chemical sample analyzer connected to the aerosol generator, wherein the chemical sample analyzer collects aerosol particles from the aerosol and determines chemical composition of the collected aerosol particles, (describe in the spec how to determine chemical composition of the collected aerosol particles);
- and
- a delivery device connected to the aerosol generator, wherein the delivery device is designed to deliver the aerosol to an orthonasal and/or retronasal passageway of a human testor;
- (b) subjecting a portion of the first aerosol sample to the orthonasal and/or retronasal passageway of the subject and generate a first retronasal and/or orthonasal taste profile;
- (c) delivering another portion of the first aerosol sample to the chemical sample analysis device and generating a chemical fingerprint of the first aerosol sample;
- (d) generating a second aerosol sample from a second test sample with the sample testing device;
- (e) subjecting a portion of the second aerosol sample to the retronasal and/or passageway of the subject and generate a second retronasal and/or orthonasal taste profile;
- (f) delivering another portion of the second aerosol sample to a sample analysis device, and generating a chemical fingerprint of the second aerosol sample;
- and
- (g) correlating the first and second taste profiles with the first and second chemical fingerprint to identify one or more chemical species associated with an olfactory taste attribute present in the taste profiles.
