Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Steviol glycoside compositions having improved sweetness and flavor profiles are described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A steviol glycoside sweetener composition comprising a 70:30 blend of rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M, wherein the blend is present in the sweetener composition in an amount greater than 80% by weight of the composition, and wherein the steviol glycoside sweetener composition further comprises minor steviol glycosides Rebaudioside N and Rebaudioside O, each of the minor glycosides being present in the steviol glycoside sweetener composition in an amount ranging from 1% to 5% by weight of the composition. 2. The steviol glycoside composition of claim 1 , wherein at least one minor steviol glycoside is glycosylated. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the minor steviol glycosides provide astringency, acidity, off-note, bitter aftertaste, and sweet aftertaste taste attributes that are more similar to a sugar solution than the blend without said minor steviol glycosides. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the blend with the minor glycosides provides a sweetness profile more similar to a 5 Brix solution than the blend without the minor glycosides. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the blend with the minor glycosides has a lower astringency, lower acidity, lower off-notes, lower sweet aftertaste, and lower bitterness, than the blend without the minor glycosides, relative to a 10 Brix solution. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein each of the minor glycosides is present in the steviol glycoside sweetener composition in an amount ranging from 1% to 3% by weight of the composition.
