Described herein are food product compositions comprising a sugar reduction solution comprising a rare sugar, xylo-oligosaccharide, or a combination thereof as a partial or complete replacement for a nutritive sweetener. Various food products containing compositions described herein and methods of making the same are also described. Beneficially, compositions comprising the sugar reduction solution described herein are more stable compositions that do not exhibit syneresis and/or enable the starch content contained therein to be reduced in comparison to full-sugar starch-containing products.

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.

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.

The present invention relates, at least in part to, formulations that have improved caloric profile as well as flavor, taste and/or mouthfeel.

A natural sweetener composition including a low-calorie monosaccharide sugar (D-allulose), cane sugar and monk fruit extract, to achieve an organoleptic sensation nearly identical to that of cane sugar (sucrose), having an appropriate blend of the D-allulose, the cane sugar and the monk fruit extract, which can result in sweetener product that has many of the desirable properties of sugar without the added calories and glycemic load.
