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.

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.

Various embodiments relate to a device for simultaneous consumption of a fluid and a frozen substance. in some embodiments, the device can include a handle assembly and a variable-volume chamber configured to store at least a portion of the fluid substance, the variable-volume chamber removably connected to the handle assembly. A cover can be removably coupled with the handle assembly. The cover can have an open end and a closed end and can at least partially define a mold cavity for molding the freezable substance.)

The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing or treating metabolic diseases, the composition containing Artemisiae capillaris Herba and Citrus unshiu Peel complex extracts as active ingredients. Specifically, in the Artemisiae capillaris Herba and Citrus unshiu Peel complex extracts according to the present disclosure, the content of ingredients useful for prevention of metabolic diseases including obesity is much higher than in extracts obtained only from Artemisiae capillaris Herba. In addition, when a high-fat diet mouse model is administered the complex extracts, the levels of total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides in the blood are reduced. Accordingly, the complex extracts of the present disclosure may be used as a composition or functional material for preventing or treating metabolic diseases including obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hypercholesterolemia.

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.
