Disclosed in certain embodiments is a delayed release softgel capsules comprise a fill material that is encapsulated in a pH dependent shell composition, the pH dependent shell composition including pectin and gellan gum. Also disclosed are methods of preparing any of the delayed release softgel capsules described herein and methods of use thereof.

Provided herein are high potency sweeteners containing at least 95% rebaudioside M generated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains engineered to produce high purity rebaudioside M when fermented with sugar cane syrup. In addition, provided are methods of purifying the high potency sweeteners from cleared fermentation broths. Also provided are sugar substitutes containing the high potency sweeteners and methods of making same.

A liquid dietary fiber product includes dietary fiber in an aqueous liquid at a concentration of at least 5 g of the dietary fiber per 60 mL of the aqueous liquid. The dietary fiber is from at least three dietary fiber sources. A process of forming a single-serve liquid dietary fiber product includes combining dietary fiber with an aqueous liquid at a concentration of at least 5 g of the dietary fiber per 60 mL of the aqueous liquid to form a liquid dietary fiber product. The dietary fiber is from at least three dietary fiber sources. The process also includes sterilizing the liquid dietary fiber product and containing the liquid dietary fiber product in a single-serve packet to form the single-serve liquid dietary fiber product.

The invention relates to compositions comprising complexes of α-cyclodextrin and cannabinoids and/or complexes of α-cyclodextrin and terpenes, methods of making these α-cyclodextrin and cannabinoid complex-containing compositions, and methods of using the α-cyclodextrin and cannabinoid complex-containing compositions. The invention also relates to food products comprising the α-cyclodextrin and cannabinoid complex-containing compositions of this invention.

Provided is a storage and delivery system that includes a container containing a stable liquid composition therein for increasing the viscosity of an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff and having a viscosity of less than 2000 cP and a water activity of greater than 95%, wherein the composition comprises one or more thickening agents and one or more polysaccharides, and a pump dispenser sealingly attached to the container and having a valve for inhibiting or preventing drying of the composition in the container. Further provided is a method of delivering a stable liquid composition to an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff by use of the storage and delivery system. A method for increasing the viscosity of an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff by adding the stable liquid composition thereto is also provided.

The present invention is situated in the field of food technology. The invention more specifically relates to a cream substitute wherein the milk or dairy-derived components, e.g. the milk protein component has been replaced by intact pulse protein. The invention further provides cream substitute products such as whipped cream, culinary cream, ice cream and milk dessert substitute as well as methods for producing these.

Disclosed is a method for making a shelf-stable organic compound in a more water-soluble form, the higher-solubility form being provided in liquid and/or powder. The method utilizes a surfactant solution comprising lecithin, water, and at least one polysaccharide into which at least one limited-solubility organic compound is admixed to form a dispersion.
