The invention describes products, uses thereof, compositions thereof, and methods to prepare products formed from Maillard reaction products from a sugar donor and/or sweet tea extracts, Stevia extracts, swingle (mogroside) extracts, one or more sweet tea extract components, one or more steviol glycosides, one or more mogrosides, one or more glycosylated sweet tea glycosides, one or more glycosylated steviol glycosides or one or more glycosylated mogrosides and an amine donor/reactant.

A method supporting children choosing healthy foods in alternate form (desserts) to help them to increase their intake of fruits and vegetables by focusing on body functions (strength, vision, movement, memory, digestion, and all-in-one). The method uses special packaging approaches that associate healthy foods disguised as desserts, candy, chips, chewing gum, or frozen treats. This method would include body function labeled packaging in the form of pods, flaps, or sleeves that are engaging ways for quick lunch options for children. Children would have the freedom to choose a labeled pod, flap, or sleeve to help to improve their selected body function. Body function options could include superfoods in dessert form for strength, vision, movement, memory, digestion, and all-in-one.

A method for preparing a liquid dietary supplement includes extracting kavalactones from a Kava plant, heating water to approximately 160° Fahrenheit, and mixing kavalactones with sugar in a 1:2 ration creating a Kava/sugar mixture. The method also includes pouring Kava/sugar and heated water into a mixer, mixing, for approximately twenty (20) minutes, and pumping mixed Kava/sugar through a filter bag generating a slurry. Further the method includes adding the slurry to water heated to 55° Fahrenheit and agitating the slurry and the water heated to 55° with a mixer.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry, in particular to synthesis and application of a nanomaterial for removal of patulin (Pat). The present disclosure adopts 2-Oxin as a substitute template, AM as a functional monomer, and synthetic Fe.sub.3O4@SiO.sub.2@CS-GO magnetic nanoparticles as a carrier, for preparing a magnetic MIP specific for Pat adsorption by surface imprinting. The addition of Fe.sub.3O.sub.4 makes the finally prepared molecular imprinted adsorbent material magnetic, thereby facilitating separation of a material from a matrix, eliminating complicated operation steps such as filtration and centrifugation, and facilitating recovery of materials.
