One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a technique that can stabilize plant oil microparticles dispersed in a beverage even with little use of an emulsifier. This invention is characterized by using a plant oil and a silicone oil in combination.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of an agglomerated particulate product containing one or more flavorant(s) and/or odorant(s). By spraying with certain binders, the storage stability of the particulate product is significantly improved, and the flavorant(s) and/or odorant(s) are protected, in particular, from oxidation. The present invention also relates to particulate products containing one or more flavorant(s) and/or odorant(s), preferably produced by a process according to the invention, and to the use of certain substances for improving the storage stability of particulate products containing one or more flavorant(s) and/or odorant(s).

Sweet tea-derived compositions, including glycosylated compositions thereof, and Maillard reaction products thereof are described. These compositions provide improved taste profiles and can be used as sweeteners or a flavorants in consumable products.

This specification relates to a process for reducing oxidation of a foodstuff, an antioxidant composition for use in such a process, and a foodstuff wherein oxidation is reduced by such a process.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a surfactant system comprising lysolecithin and lecithin, or lysolecithin and sugar ester, a non-polar phase comprising a flavor oil, and a polar phase comprising at least one polar non-aqueous solvent, wherein the flavor oil is present in an amount of at least 10 wt. %, based on the total amount of the composition, and wherein lysolecithin is present in an amount of at least 10 wt. %, based on the total amount of the composition. The invention further relates to a method for the preparation of the inventive composition, as well as to the use of the inventive composition for the preparation of a flavored beverage or personal care product. Moreover, the invention concerns a beverage or personal care product comprising the inventive composition.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

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.

One aspect of the present disclosure is a stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide having a tripeptide composed of Gly-Pro-Hyp, and a food having the same, and in stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the stabilizer composition contains glucono-delta-lactone as an active ingredient, a pH is 3.0 to 4.0, the GPH, an indicator ingredient of the collagen peptide, is stabilized, and there is an excellent effect of being able to easily manufacture and distribute as a food with a longer shelf life and a very high preference for the decrease in GPH content as the storage period is prolonged.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a composition containing various kinds of citrus juice including yuzu juice and having improved citrus flavor such that the composition can be easily and variedly prepared. The above objective can be achieved by a container-packed composition comprising citrus juice and 1 ppb to 2,000 ppb of phenethyl acetate; a processed food or beverage comprising, as raw materials, the composition and an ingredient, or a method of producing the processed food or beverage; a container-packed processed food or beverage comprising citrus juice and 1 ppb to 2,000 ppb of phenethyl acetate; and so on.
