The present invention advantages over conventional methods and products. In an aspect, a method comprises separating a mixture of allulose, fructose, glucose, and gluco-oligosaccharides, wherein the separating comprises using simulated moving bed chromatography, and recovering allulose at a high purity and yield. In an aspect, the simulated moving bed (“SMB”) chromatography to separate a fraction enriched with allulose from a fraction enriched with fructose and glucose, and to separate a fraction enriched with fructose from a fraction enriched with glucose. In an aspect, the method provides separation of an allulose from a mixture of allulose, fructose, and D-glucose, wherein the mixture is produced from high fructose corn syrup (“HFCS”) when HFCS is contacted with an allulose epimerase. In an aspect, the method produces a high quality allulose product. In an aspect, the fraction enriched with fructose can be recycled to contact the allulose epimerase.

The present disclosure generally relates to various formulations and uses of the compound: N-(1-((4-amino-2,2-dioxo-1H-benzo[c][1,2,6]thiadiazin-5-yl)oxy)-2-methyl-propan-2-yl)isonicotinamide, which is also referred to herein a “TM1” and comestibly acceptable salts thereof. In some aspects, the disclosure provides compositions that include TM1, or a comestibly acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the compositions are ingestible compositions, including, but not limited to, packaged food and beverage products and tabletop sweeteners. In some aspects, the disclosure provides certain compositions that include such flavanone derivatives, such as compositions that include such flavanone derivatives and one or more other sweeteners. In some other aspects, the disclosure provides methods of reducing the caloric content of a sweetened article, such as a sweetened food or beverage product.

There is demand for a novel method for manufacturing a RebD crystallized product. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a RebD-containing crystallized product, characterized in including: a step for mixing a stevia plant-derived crude product having a total steviol glycoside content of 50-95 mass %, and containing at least RebA and RebD, in a solvent containing ethanol and having a methanol concentration of 1 mg/L or less, and adjusting a crystallization solution; and a step for cooling the crystallization solution under stirring and causing RebD to precipitate.

The present disclosure provides high purity rebaudioside J and methods of making high purity rebaudioside J. The application also provides the use of rebaudioside J as a sweetener, and in particular, the use in beverages.

Various ingredients and compositions are prepared from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant. The compositions can be used as bulking agents, and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Allulose crystals are efficiently produced from an allulose syrup using seed crystals.

A food bar includes a mixture of dry ingredients including a protein and a binder including a sweetener. The food bar is able to maintain an initial texture so that the amount of force required to cut the food bar after storage of the food bar is substantially the same as the amount of force required to cut the food bar initially.

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.
