A method of improving taste and/or off-taste of a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition includes a step of providing a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition that includes two or more of: a sour additive; a bitter additive; and a sweetener. The method also includes a step of adding 1,3-propanediol to the food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition to form a tasteful composition, whereby said tasteful composition has improved taste and/or off-taste as compared to a food, beverage, confection, or concentrate composition that does not include 1,3-propanediol.

The present invention, in an embodiment, is a powder composition that includes 20 to 80 weight % of a triglycerides mixture and 15 to 75 weight % of a salt mixture. The triglyceride mixture, based on a total fatty acid content of the triglycerides mixture, includes: 5% to 55% lauric acid content, 2% to 30% myristic acid content, 6% to 45% palmitic acid content, and 2% to 25% stearic acid content; 15% to 45% oleic acid content, 15% or less linoleic acid content, 10% or less linolenic acid content; and less than 2% of trans fatty acids; wherein, the salt mixture includes at least 90 weight % sodium chloride, based on the total weight of the salt mixture and a remainder includes at least one of sodium citrate, disodium citrate, monosodium tartrate, or disodium tartrate.

Methods for producing fruit juice compositions and/or beverage products where the content of an aroma component is reduced but the content of a nutritional functional component and the content of a saccharide are not substantially reduced.

A food or beverage product comprising: ethyl butyrate; and 5 mass or more of collagen.

Provided herein is a compound of Formula I:

##STR00001##

wherein R represents a terpene hydroperoxyl selected from the group consisting of

##STR00002##

wherein R represents a alkyl group selected from the group consisting: CH.sub.3(CH.sub.2).sub.8, CH.sub.3(CH.sub.2).sub.6, and CH.sub.3.

An optically clear, solid water-soluble formulation of odorants and flavorings comprising at least one synthetically prepared odorant and flavoring, in which the odorants and flavorings are embedded homogeneously in a polymer matrix based on polyvinyllactams.

A metastable, translucent flavor nanoemulsion is provided. The nanoemulsion contains a flavor oil phase, an aqueous phase, and a surfactant system containing a first lecithin and a second lecithin. The nanoemulsion is free of any non-natural surfactant. The surfactant system contains free fatty acid 15% or less. The first lecithin has an HLB of 1 to 8, and the second lecithin has an HLB of 8 to 16 and contains phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine 20% or greater. Also disclosed are a method for preparing the nanoemulsion and use of the nanoemulsion in liquid beverages and liquid beverage concentrates.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes. Fragrances that mimic that of various states of organic and synthetic aromatics including products, processes and those from non-combusted plant products, among other things, uniquitous products, processes, medicinals, and related moieties leverage databases of all known terpene groupings are offered for consideration, and have been provided, according to the instant teachings.
