The present invention aims to provide a novel glycosyl hesperetin, which is significantly reduced in miscellaneous tastes characteristic of conventional products containing glycosyl hesperetin, and a method for producing the same and uses thereof; and the objects are solved by providing a glycosyl hesperetin which comprises glycosyl hesperetin in an amount of 90% or more by mass but less than 100% by mass, on a dry solid basis, but it does not substantially contain furfural, and a method for producing the same and uses thereof.

The present invention provides novel compositions and methods for producing protein-polysaccharide conjugates in aqueous solutions. Also provided are methods for limiting the Maillard reaction to the very initial stage, the formation of the Schiff base. Provided are methods to obtain a simple product of Schiff base with white color, and compositions obtained using the methods of the present invention.

A flavor system for a non-animal derived protein consumable is provided. The flavor system includes an aqueous component; a protein binder including a mixture of at least one terpene and at least one carbonyl compound; one or more off-note blocking compounds; and a flavorant.

Aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents and methods of use for the treatment of a variety of disorders. More particularly, aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents such as cannabinoids, nicotine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and vitamins, that provide enhanced bioavailability of the lipophilic active agents in a subject, and that mask unpleasant tastes of lipophilic active agents.

Beverages having an improvement in continuity of aftertaste caused by Rebaudioside D (RebD) and Rebaudioside M (RebM) and methods of production thereof. A content (A) of catechin compound(s) in beverages is adjusted to within a certain range, a total content (B) of RebM and/or RebD in beverages is adjusted to within a certain range, and B/A is adjusted to within a certain range.

Catechin compound(s)-containing beverages having reduced bitterness and astringency of catechin compound(s) while maintaining tea-like preferable flavors, methods of production thereof, and the like are provided. The content of catechin compound(s) in a beverage is adjusted to within a certain range, the total content of RebM and RebD in the beverage is adjusted to within a certain range, and the weight ratio of the total content of RebD and RebM to the content of the catechin compound(s) is adjusted to within a certain range.

Mogrosides may be used as a flavor modifier in various foods, beverages, pharmaceutical compositions, and the like to block the perception of bitter and astringent flavors or other off flavors.

The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, apparatuses and kits comprising several enzymes involved in the hydrolysis or breakdown of riboflavin beer or a malt-based substrate for beverage production. The present invention relates to improvements in the production of beer and similar light-sensitive beverages, in particular improvement of the flavor stability of such light-sensitive beverages by enzymatic hydrolysis or degradation of riboflavin during beer production.

This invention relates to a mouthpiece configured for engaging a snorkel or a first and/or second SCUBA diving regulator having at least one internal receiving chamber formed in at least one of the opposing bite wings and configured to receive and retain a fluid or gel therein, whereby an effective amount of the fluid or gel may be selectively introduced through at least one selectively sealable fluid delivery opening formed in one or more of the bite wings and/or formed in a side wall of the internal receiving chamber, whereas upon application of sufficient pressure or force by the teeth of the user, an effective amount of the fluid or gel flows into the user's mouth to overcome or substantially ameliorate the effects associated with salt mouth. The fluid or gel introduced into the internal receiving chamber may be selected from the group consisting of fresh water, diluted mouthwash, or a flavored fluid or gel comprising sweetened or unsweetened flavors selected from the group consisting of grape, strawberry, berry, black cherry, raspberry, coconut, banana, peach, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, mint, fruit punch, mango, bubble gum or the like.

The present invention concerns the use of 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one for masking, reducing or suppressing an unpleasant taste impression, preferably bitter, sour and/or astringent taste impression of unpleasant-tasting substances or mixture of substances, preferably bitter-, sour-, and/or astringent-tasting substances or mixtures of substances, and in particular the bitter taste impression of bitter-tasting substances, and/or modulating the taste impressions selected from the group consisting of cooling, umami, fruity and spicy notes of cooling-, umami-, fruity- or spicy-tasting substances or mixture of substances, and simultaneously intensifying the sweet-taste impression of sweet-tasting substances or mixtures of substances or both sweet- and bitter-tasting tasting substances or mixture of substances.
