A method for making highly soluble Stevia sweetener compositions is described. The resulting sweetener compositions readily provide high concentration solutions, and also possess superior taste qualities. The compositions can be used as sweeteners, sweetness enhancers, and flavor enhancers in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

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.

Stable vitamin A powders The present invention relates to BHT-free powderous formulations comprising a fat-soluble-vitamin or a carotenoid, a hydrocolloid, a starch hydrolysate, tocopherol and sodium ascorbate and its use for staple food fortification.

An object is to provide a solid composition which is excellent in capability of retaining linalool and geraniol. A solid composition containing linalool d geraniol has dextrin having a molecular weight of 50,000 or more incorporated therein.

Compositions that can be used in foodstuff, cosmetic, or nutraceutical products, and consumer products comprising such compositions are provided. The compositions may comprise at least one or more oligosaccharides and one or more components. The compositions may comprise a sweet taste and may be suitable to be used as sweeteners, binders, and/or fiber content enhancers in finished products such as consumable products. The compositions may provide a favorable sweet taste, a desirable texture, or other desirable characteristics.

An allulose 3-epimerase mutant, a genetically engineered bacterium expressing the mutant, and an immobilized allulose 3-epimerase enzyme and an immobilization method thereof are described. A high-throughput screening method is used to obtain an allulose 3-epimerase mutant efficiently expressed in a fermentation process, which can catalyze efficient conversion of fructose to D-allulose, providing an efficient production path for key enzymes required in a D-allulose production process. Additionally, the allulose 3-epimerase is bonded to an immobilizing resin to prepare an immobilized allulose 3-epimerase enzyme. The immobilized enzyme can be applied to batch or continuous reactions to catalyze efficient conversion of fructose to D-allulose.

An improved dry grind system and method for producing a sugar stream from grains or similar carbohydrate sources and/or residues, such as for biochemical production, with front end oil separation. Prior to or after saccharification, oil can be removed from a sugar/carbohydrate stream. After saccharification and prior to a sugar conversion process, the sugar/carbohydrate stream includes a desired Dextrose Equivalent (DE) where DE describes the degree of conversion of starch to dextrose can be produced, with such sugar stream being available for biochemical production, e.g., alcohol production, or other processes. In addition, the systems and methods also can involve the removal of certain grain components, e.g., corn kernel components, including protein and/or fiber. In other words, oil separation and sugar stream production occurs on the front end of the system and method.

The present invention relates to an oral composition with increased sweetness, and a method for manufacturing said oral composition. The present invention also relates to a concentrate for providing an oral composition, and a method for enhancing the level of sweetness of an oral composition.

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.
