One aspect of the present disclosure is a stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide having a tripeptide composed of Gly-Pro-Hyp, and a food having the same, and in stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the stabilizer composition contains glucono-delta-lactone as an active ingredient, a pH is 3.0 to 4.0, the GPH, an indicator ingredient of the collagen peptide, is stabilized, and there is an excellent effect of being able to easily manufacture and distribute as a food with a longer shelf life and a very high preference for the decrease in GPH content as the storage period is prolonged.

The invention relates to a glucose(-containing) syrup replacement composition for use in food applications, such as in bakery, beverages, ice cream, confectionery and the like. The glucose(-containing) syrup replacement composition comprises at least 80 wt % of maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalence (DE) of from 15 to 20 and up to 20 wt % of sorbitol and glycerol. The invention also covers the use of the composition in a food product to replace at least partially or completely nutritive mono- and disaccharides having an energy density of 4 kcal/g, preferably to replace at least partially or completely glucose, sucrose and/or fructose, generally in the form of syrups.

The present invention provides a process for preparation of compositions comprising novel mogrosides from fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii. The compositions have superior organoleptic properties compared to known mogroside compositions and are useful in wider range of consumables including foods and beverages.

Sweetener and flavor compositions with improved taste profiles are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making and methods of using such sweetener and flavor compositions.

Provided herein are compositions with enhanced sweetness per weight when compared to the sweetener carbohydrate or sweetener polyol component thereof, and methods for the preparation thereof.

There is provided a sweetening composition comprising particles, the particles comprising a high intensity sweetener, a non-sucrose bulk sweetener and a low digestible carbohydrate polymer.

This application relates to polyphenol containing sugar cane extracts for improving or masking taste or mouthfeel of consumables containing a sugar substitute, low sugar consumables or reduced sugar consumables. The polyphenol containing sugar cane extracts can be used in methods for improving or masking the taste of consumables containing a sugar substitute, low sugar consumables or reduced sugar consumables by including an effective amount of a polyphenol containing sugar cane extract in the consumable. The polyphenol containing sugar cane extracts can also be used in compositions for improving or masking the taste of a sugar substitute by including an effective amount of a polyphenol containing sugar cane extract in the composition.

A D-psicose-containing sweetener with the modification of the taste of D-psicose includes D-psicose, a sugar alcohol and/or a high intensity sweetener, preferably containing D-psicose as the main component, particularly a low-calorie sweetener and/or a sweetener giving refreshing feel in the oral cavity, as well as foods and drinks obtained by using the D-psicose-containing sweetener with the modification of the taste of D-psicose, and other products given with sweetness. The sugar alcohol is one or more sugar alcohols selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, maltitol, xylitol and erythritol, while the high intensity sweetener is one or more high intensity sweeteners as selected from aspartame, acesulfame K, sodium cyclamate, sodium saccharin, Sucralose (under trade name), stevia sweetener, dulcin, taumatin, neotame and monellin.

Provided herein are natural sweetener combinations for use in the manufacture of ingestible products, typically foods and beverages, wherein the natural sweetener combinations comprise or consist of two or more of a stevia extract, a sugar alcohol and monk fruit extract. Also provided are ingestible products, typically foods and beverages, containing said natural sweetener combinations.

A method for forming encapsulated sweetener granules (ESGs) may include heating a first mixture to form a molten mixture, the first mixture includes one or more polyols and one or more hydrocolloids; cooling the molten mixture to a first temperature to form a cooled molten mixture; adding one or more high-intensity sweeteners to the cooled molten mixture to form a second mixture; cooling the second mixture to a second temperature to form one or more sheets, the second temperature being different from the first temperature; and fragmenting the one or more sheets to form a plurality of encapsulated sweetener granules. The first temperature may be between about 120° C. and about 200° C. The second temperature may be below a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of the one or more polyols and the one or more hydrocolloids. For example, the second temperature may be between about 65° C. and about 200° C.
