A method for preparing a water-soluble curcumin liquid includes the following steps: A) dissolving curcumin, vitamin C and ascorbyl palmitate in an ethanol aqueous solution, evaporating ethanol under reduced pressure, and vacuum drying to obtain a curcumin-vitamin C-ascorbyl palmitate co-crystal; and B) high-speed emulsifying the curcumin-vitamin C-ascorbyl palmitate co-crystal and a water-soluble colloidal solution that includes an emulsifying additive under vacuum, sequentially conducting a two-stage wet grinding, a homogenization and a potential adjustment to obtain the water-soluble curcumin liquid.

A natural non-alcoholic beverage product, comprising two or more natural fruit flavours extracted and concentrated from two or more fruits, one or more natural botanical flavours extracted and concentrated from parts of one or more plants and at least one of a natural spice flavour, a natural unrefined sweetener, and a natural unrefined salt.

Disclosed herein is a method for producing modified gum arabic, the method comprising: providing gum arabic; heating said gum arabic, resulting in heat-treated gum arabic; dissolving said heat-treated gum arabic in a solution; optionally, filtering said solution containing said dissolved gum arabic; and subjecting said solution containing said dissolved gum arabic to spray-drying. Further disclosed herein is a gum arabic from Acacia Senegal having (i) a weight average molecular weight (M.sub.w) of ≥3.8.Math.10.sup.6 Da, and/or (ii) a RMS-radius of gyration (R.sub.g) of ≥140 nm.

Provided is a method for producing a yeast cell wall-derived decomposition product-containing composition, the method including enzymatically treating a cell wall of yeast with exoglucanase.

Rapidly dissolving flavoring composition concentrates are provided. The flavoring composition concentrates have a flavor, a solvent system, a flavor carrier system, and a densifier. The densifier is an acid modifier present in an amount such that it optimizes the rate of dispersion of the concentrate in water.

Encapsulated active components for delivering a desired amount of the active component includes at least one active component encapsulated within a delivery vehicle obtained by cryogenically treating plant material. The active may be a desired flavor that is added to a consumable base to prepare a consumable product, such as food or beverage product, or to prepare an oral care product. Methods for making the delivery systems containing the active component and products containing the encapsulated active component delivery systems are also disclosed.
