Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described is a solubilization agent for solubilizing polyphenols, flavonoids and/or diterpenoid glucosides in aqueous liquids, wherein the solubilization agent consists of a mixture of: (a) one emulsifying polymer or a mixture of two, three or more emulsifying polymers, (b) one saponin or a mixture of two, three or more saponins, (c) one partially or fully water-miscible, preferably liquid, solvent or a mixture of partially or fully water-miscible, preferably liquid, solvents, preferably selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol), glycerin, triacetin (glycerin triacetate), diacetin (glycerin diacetate) and triethyl citrate, and (d) water. The solubilization agent is particularly suitable for sparingly water soluble polyphenols, flavonoids and/or diterpenoid glucosides. The invention also relates to compositions and (food or cosmetic) formulations comprising said solubilization agent. It further relates to a method for producing solubilization agents, compositions and (food or cosmetic) formulations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A clear composition comprising: (i) phloretin, hesperetin, homoeriodictyol, rubusoside and/or naringin, (ii) water, (iii) propylene glycol, (iv)(a) gum Arabic, pectin, traganth gum and/or gum Ghatt, and (iv)(b) a quillaic saponin, wherein the weight ratio of (iv)(a) to (iv)(b) is from 20:1 to 1:2, the composition is free of ethanol, and the composition remains clear without agitation at 25° C. and 1013 mbar for at least 1 year. 2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of (iv)(a) to (iv)(b) is from 10:1 to 1:2. 3. A clear composition comprising: (i) phloretin, homoeriodiclyol, rubsoside and/or naringin, (ii) water, (iii) propylene glycol, (iv)(a) gum Arabic, pectin, traganth gum and/or gum Ghatt, and (iv)(b) a quillaic saponin, wherein the weight ratio of (iv)(a) to (iv)(b) is from 20:1 to 1:2 the composition remains clear without agitation at 25° C. and 1013 mbar for at least 1 year. 4. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the weight ratio of (iv)(a) to (iv)(b) is from 10:1 to 1:2.
