This disclosure provides novel compositions comprising a compound of Formula I. These compositions are useful for improving mouthfeel properties of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as steviol glycosides and blends thereof, in food and beverages containing the same.

Flavored compositions and methods of production and use. A flavored composition may be produced by extracting a psychoactive portion from a first Cannabis tissue to produce an extracted tissue and combining the extracted tissue with a flavor composition, according to a first ratio, to produce a flavored extracted tissue. A second Cannabis tissue may be processed to produce a processed tissue, and the flavored extracted tissue may be combined with the processed tissue according to a second ratio to produce the flavored composition. The flavored composition may contain a defined amount of a psychoactive compound.

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.

Suggested is an extract of Persea, in particular Persea americana (Avocado) comprising at least 90 wt.-percent avocado polyols and preferably at least 95 wt.-percent avocadene, obtainable or obtained according to the following steps: (a) providing a source of Persea; (b) subjecting said source of Persea to an extraction step using organic solvents to obtain a first extract; (c) subjecting said first extract to saponification to obtain a second extract; (d) adding a source of calcium to said second extract to precipitate calcium soaps; (e) subjecting the product of step (d) to a separation step to obtain a third extract and said precipitated calcium salts; and optionally (f) subjecting said third extract to purification.

Provided is a process of forming a vanilla extract wherein green ripe vanilla beans are exposed to a high drying temperature, extracted with a solvent, and treated with beta-glucosidase enzyme to convert glucovanillin to vanillin enzymatically, thereby providing a vanilla extract with a good vanillin yield and complex well-balanced vanilla aroma lacking undesirable off-notes.

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.

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.

Provided are a method for producing a purified Salacia genus plant extract having improved flavor by increasing the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the extract without significantly reducing the recovery rate of the extract concomitantly with purification; and a purified Salacia genus plant extract. The method for producing a purified Salacia genus plant extract includes an extraction step of bringing a Salacia genus plant-containing raw material extract including at least one of a Salacia genus plant, a Salacia genus plant extract, and a Salacia genus plant ground product, into contact with 0.1 to 20 mass % of activated carbon in the presence of an extraction solvent.

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 invention relates to a bitter acids concentrate, method of obtaining the same and use thereof.
