Abstract

The invention describes compositions comprising glycosylated mogroside(s) or glycosylated swingle extracts and methods of enhancing the mouthfeel, sweetness or flavor of consumable products.

Claims (24)

1. A method to synergistically increase sweetness potency of a non-mogroside based sweetener, comprising the step of adding to the non-mogroside based sweetener a glycosylated mogroside-containing composition to form a glycosylated mogroside-containing sweetener,

wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition comprises glycosylated mogroside,

wherein the non-mogroside based sweetener comprises rebaudioside A, and/or sucrose,

wherein the ratio of the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition to the non mogroside based sweetener is from 1:300 to about 1.6:1 on a weight basis, and

wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing sweetener has increased sucrose equivalence compared to the non-mogroside based sweetener.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition further comprises thaumatin.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-mogroside based sweetener comprises sucrose.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-mogroside based sweetener comprises rebaudioside A.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition comprises glycosylated mogroside V.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside V is GMG-V20L, GMG-V20S, GMG-V40, or GMG-V60.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition comprises mixtures of glycosylated mogroside and glycosylated steviol glycoside.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the glycosylated steviol glycoside comprises one or more of the glycosylation products of steviol, stevioside, steviolbioside, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside D, rebaudioside rebaudioside F, rebaudioside M, rebaudioside O rebaudioside H, rebaudioside I, rebaudioside L, rebaudioside N, rebaudioside K, rebaudioside J, rubusoside, dulcoside A and mixtures thereof.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the glycosylated steviol glycoside is glycosylated rebaudioside A, glycosylated rebaudioside B, glycosylated rebaudioside D or combinations thereof.

10. A composition comprising rebaudioside A and a glycosylated mogroside in a total amount of 70% to 100% of the composition, wherein the glycosylated mogroside is present in the composition in a range of about 10% to about 50% wt/wt, wherein the weight ratio of glycosylated mogroside to rebaudioside A is in the range of 1:1 to 1:6, wherein sweetness potency of rebaudioside A is increased in comparison to the rebaudioside A alone.

11. The composition of claim 10 , further comprising one or more of cane sugar, beet sugar, honey, sucrose, fructose, maltose, xylitol, sorbitol, dextrose, glucose, mannitol, arabinose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, xylose, inulin, sucralose, aspartame, stevia, acesulfame-K, neotame, thaumatin, erythritol, trehalose, raffinose, cellobiose, tagatose, allulose, inulin, N—N [3 [3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methy ester, glycyrrhizin, thaumatin, monellin, and sodium cyclamate.

12. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside comprises a glycosylated mogroside II, a glycosylated mogroside III, a glycosylated mogroside IV, a glycosylated mogroside V, a glycosylated siamenoside I or a glycosylated 1 1-oxomogroside V or any combination thereof.

13. A composition comprising rebaudioside A and a combination of glycosylated mogroside and a glycosylated steviol glycoside derived from RA (GSG-RA), in a total amount of 70% to 100% of the composition, wherein the glycosylated mogroside is present in the composition in a range of about 10% to about 50% wt/wt, wherein the weight ratio of glycosylated mogroside to rebaudioside A is in the range of 1:1 to 1:6, wherein sweetness potency of rebaudioside A is increased in comparison to the rebaudioside A alone.

14. The composition of claim 13 , further comprising one or more of cane sugar, beet sugar, honey, sucrose, fructose, maltose, xylitol, sorbitol dextrose, glucose, mannitol, arabinose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, xylose, inulin, sucralose, aspartame, stevia, acesulfame-K, neotame, thaumatin, erythritol, trehalose, raffinose, cellobiose, tagatose, allulose, N—[N-[3(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, glycyrrhizin, thaumatin, monellin, and sodium cyclamate.

15. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside comprises a glycosylated mogroside 11 , a glycosylated mogroside III, a glycosylated mogroside IV, a glycosylated mogroside V, a glycosylated siamenoside I or a glycosylated 1 1-oxomogroside V or any combination thereof.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing sweetener has increased sugar likeness compared to the non-mogroside based sweetener.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition comprises mixtures of mogroside and glycosylated mogroside.

18. The method of claim 4 , wherein the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition is added at a glycosylated mogroside: steviol glycosides weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:6.

19. The method of claim 4 , wherein the non-mogroside based sweet sweetener further comprises rebaudioside B and/or rebaudioside D.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of addition causes a synergistic increase in the sucrose equivalence of the glycosylated mogroside-containing sweetener compared to the sucrose equivalence of the non-mogroside based sweetener and the sucrose equivalence of the glycosylated mogroside-containing composition.
