Provided herein are purified hemicellulose compositions, sweetener compositions including purified hemicellulose compositions, as well as methods for making the same. Also provided are uses of the compositions.

The present invention relates to a flavor system comprised of plant-derived sweeteners, including from Stevia rebaudiana and Thaumatococcus danielli, that when added to a mixture of L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alpha GPC, Huperzia Serrate PE, Phosphatidylserine, Vinpocetine, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin B-9, and Caffeine Anhydrous, neutralizes the bitterness of said mixture in aqueous form.

A nutritional composition including an oxidizable component and a water-soluble plant extract is provided. The water-soluble plant extract includes rosmarinic acid and has a total phenolic content, such that a ratio of the total phenolic content to the rosmarinic acid is between about 1.1:1 to about 3.5:1. A method of reducing off-flavors and aromas in a nutritional composition having an oxidizable component is also provided.

The present invention relates to a method for producing highly palatable dry cat foods, by providing dry cat food preparations having specific compositions and/or texture properties, and by adding thereto palatability enhancers, so as to obtain highly palatable dry cat foods. Preferably, the present invention provides highly palatable dry cat foods having a rigidity below or equal to about 100 N/mm. Also is the present invention related to a method for increasing the palatability effect of a liquid palatability enhancer for use in dry cat food preparation, and to kits useful for enhancing palatability of dry cat foods.

The present invention relates generally to the field of beverages. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of beverages fortified with iron. For example, the present inventors have found that iron fortification with ferrous bisglycinate in a plant based beverage with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 3.9 leads to an increased color stability and a better taste of the beverage compared to other compounds commonly used to fortify beverages with iron.

A method of masking off-tastes in a comestible composition, comprising the addition to a comestible composition base comprising high-intensity sweetener, of from 20-50 ppm of at least one of cellobiose and psicose. The use of one or both of the materials is effective particularly in masking the off-tastes encountered with the use of high-intensity sweeteners. In a particular embodiment, cellobiose and/or psicose may be used to block the off-tastes in reduced-sugar or no-sugar comestible products containing no high-intensity sweetener.
