[0001] The present invention relates generally to improving the taste of synthetic and/or natural high-potency sweeteners and compositions sweetened therewith.
In particular, the present invention relates to improving the temporal behavior of synthetic and/or natural high-potency sweeteners and compositions sweetened therewith with salts and methods for reducing the salty taste of the resulting formulation.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to improving the taste of synthetic and/or natural high-potency sweeteners and compositions sweetened therewith.
In particular, the present invention relates to improving the temporal behavior of synthetic and/or natural high-potency sweeteners and compositions sweetened therewith with salts and methods for reducing the salty taste of the resulting formulation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Natural caloric sugars, such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose are heavily utilized in beverage, food, pharmaceutical, and oral hygienic/cosmetic industries due to their pleasant taste. In particular, sucrose imparts a desirable taste for consumers.
Although sucrose provides superior sweetness characteristics, it is caloric.
While calories are necessary for proper bodily functions, there is a need in the market to provide alternative non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners with sugar-like taste for consumers who are calorie conscious. However, some consumers associate non-caloric or low caloric sweeteners with undesirable tastes such as delayed sweetness onset; lingering sweet aftertaste; bitter taste; metallic taste; astringent taste; cooling taste;
licorice-like taste;
and/or the like.
Although sucrose provides superior sweetness characteristics, it is caloric.
While calories are necessary for proper bodily functions, there is a need in the market to provide alternative non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners with sugar-like taste for consumers who are calorie conscious. However, some consumers associate non-caloric or low caloric sweeteners with undesirable tastes such as delayed sweetness onset; lingering sweet aftertaste; bitter taste; metallic taste; astringent taste; cooling taste;
licorice-like taste;
and/or the like.
[0003] Non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners such as synthetic sweeteners (e.g.
sucralose, potassium acesulfame, aspartame, alitame, saccharin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, cyclamate, neotame, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbutyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, salts thereof, and the like) and natural high-potency sweeteners (e.g., rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E, dulcoside A, rubusoside, stevia, stevioside, mogroside IV, mogroside V, Luo Han Guo, siamenoside, monatin and its salts (monatin SS, RR, RS, SR), curculin, glycyrrhizic acid and its salts, thaumatin, monellin, mabinlin, brazzein, hernandulcin, phyllodulcin, glycyphyllin, phloridzin, trilobatin, baiyunoside, osladin, polypodoside A, pterocaryoside A, pterocaryoside B, 35 mukuroziosude, phlomisoside I, periandrin I, abrusoside A, and cyclocarioside I) generally exhibit a sweet taste that has a different temporal profile, maximal response, flavor profile, mouthfeel, and/or adaptation behavior than that of sugar. For example, the sweet tastes of non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners are slower in onset and longer in duration than the sweet taste produced by sugars such as sucrose and thus change the taste balance of a food 40 composition. Because of these differences, use of non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners to replace a bulk sweetener, such as sugar, in a food or beverage, causes an unbalanced temporal profile and/or flavor profile. In addition to the difference in temporal profile, non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners generally exhibit (i) lower maximal response than sugar, (ii) off tastes including bitter, metallic, cooling, astringent, licorice-like taste, etc., 45 and/or (iii) sweetness which diminishes on iterative tasting.
sucralose, potassium acesulfame, aspartame, alitame, saccharin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, cyclamate, neotame, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbutyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, salts thereof, and the like) and natural high-potency sweeteners (e.g., rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E, dulcoside A, rubusoside, stevia, stevioside, mogroside IV, mogroside V, Luo Han Guo, siamenoside, monatin and its salts (monatin SS, RR, RS, SR), curculin, glycyrrhizic acid and its salts, thaumatin, monellin, mabinlin, brazzein, hernandulcin, phyllodulcin, glycyphyllin, phloridzin, trilobatin, baiyunoside, osladin, polypodoside A, pterocaryoside A, pterocaryoside B, 35 mukuroziosude, phlomisoside I, periandrin I, abrusoside A, and cyclocarioside I) generally exhibit a sweet taste that has a different temporal profile, maximal response, flavor profile, mouthfeel, and/or adaptation behavior than that of sugar. For example, the sweet tastes of non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners are slower in onset and longer in duration than the sweet taste produced by sugars such as sucrose and thus change the taste balance of a food 40 composition. Because of these differences, use of non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners to replace a bulk sweetener, such as sugar, in a food or beverage, causes an unbalanced temporal profile and/or flavor profile. In addition to the difference in temporal profile, non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners generally exhibit (i) lower maximal response than sugar, (ii) off tastes including bitter, metallic, cooling, astringent, licorice-like taste, etc., 45 and/or (iii) sweetness which diminishes on iterative tasting.
[0004] It has been discovered that salts are effective at rendering the temporal behavior of non-caloric or low-caloric sweeteners to be more sugar-like. For example, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11/561,148 and 11/561,158, filed on November 17, 2006, combinations of natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners and 50 combinations of inorganic salts (e.g., mineral salts) may improve the temporal and/or flavor profile of the natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners to be more sugar-like. The addition of inorganic salts, however, may also result in a salty taste of the improved sweetener formulations.
[0005] Accordingly, it may be desirable to reduce the salty taste that results from 55 combining natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners and inorganic salts to improve the temporal and/or flavor profile of the high-potency sweetener.

[0019] As summarized above, embodiments of the present invention encompass a sweetener composition with improved temporal profile and/or flavor profile and methods for improving the temporal profile and/or flavor profile of natural and/or synthetic high-155 potency sweeteners. In particular, embodiments of the present invention improve the temporal profile and/or flavor profile of a natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener while reducing the salty taste that results from the addition of inorganic salts to the sweetener composition. Briefly described, embodiments of this invention address the above-described needs by providing a sweetener composition having improved temporal 160 profile and/or flavor profile comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at least one inorganic salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor.
The sweetener compositions optionally further comprise at least one other sweet taste improving composition other than the at least one inorganic salt.
[0020] As described hereinabove, it has been discovered that at least one natural 165 and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener in combination with at least one inorganic salt may impart a more sugar-like taste to the at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener. The addition of the inorganic salt, however, may result in the addition of a salty taste to the sweetener compositions. Not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the taste of the sweetener compositions can be improved further by reducing 170 the additional salty taste through the use of salty taste inhibitors.
Accordingly, a sweetener composition and method for providing a sweetener composition with an improved temporal profile and/or flavor profile are provided. In addition, sweetened compositions with a more sugar-like temporal profile and/or flavor profile comprising a sweetenable composition, at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at 175 least one salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor, and optionally at least one sweet taste improving composition are provided.
1. Salty taste inhibitors [0021] "Salty taste inhibitor", as used herein, includes compositions that reduce, suppress, or inhibit salty taste characteristics, and is synonymous with the phrases 180 "saltiness inhibitor" and "salt inhibitor." Non-limiting examples of salty taste inhibitors include ion channel competitors, epithelial sodium channel inhibitors, and vanilloid receptor-1 variant salt taste receptor inhibitors.
[0022] It is thought by those of ordinary skill in the art that mammals utilize two types of taste receptors to detect mineral salts. The first taste receptor is Na_,_ specific and 185 is described as the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na_'_ channel ("ENaC") (expressed on the apical membranes of salt-sensitive fungiform tastebud cells) while the second taste receptor does not discriminate among Na-'-, K+ and NH4-'- and is described as being an amiloride-insensitive channel. Although both the amiloride-sensitive and amiloride-insensitive salt taste receptors are present in humans, the amiloride-insensitive pathway 190 has been identified as being the primary contributor to salty taste in humans. The amiloride-insensitive pathway is believed to include a variant of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 ("TRPV F).
[0023] Not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the addition of at least one salty taste inhibitor to a combination of natural and/or synthetic high-potency 195 sweeteners and at least one inorganic salt will disrupt the amiloride sensitive and/or amiloride insensitive pathways, thereby reducing the perception of a salty taste. As used herein, the phrase "salty taste inhibitor" refers to any compounds which are safe for human consumption when used in amounts considered generally safe and which reduce, inhibit, or suppress the taste characteristics of a salt.
200 [0024] In one particular embodiment, suitable salty taste inhibitors may comprise compounds which inhibit TRPV 1 pathways. Non-limiting examples of suitable inhibitors (antagonists) may include Maillard reaction products of soy protein hydrolysates and reducing sugars (e.g., xylose), capsazepine, zoniporide, and the chemical compound SB366971 (N-(3-methoxyphenl)-chlorocinnamide) having the chemical structure:
Other TVPR1 antagonists capable of inhibiting salty taste may include iodo-resiniferatoxin, BCTC, neomycin, ruthenium red, SB-452533, DD161515, DD191515, and JYL1421.
[0025] As used herein, "protein hydrolysates" include mixtures of amino acids and 210 peptides prepared by hydrolyzing a protein with an acid, enzyme, or combination thereof.
Methods of preparing protein hydrolysates are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and are described in detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,875,456; 6,303,178; and 5,077,062, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0026] In another particular embodiment, suitable salty taste inhibitors comprise 215 compounds capable of inhibiting salty taste through other mechanisms such as ENaC
inhibitors, non-limiting examples of which include salts of citric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like as disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2006/0062814 (e.g., sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, 220 calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate), amiloride, phenamil, benzamil, , and the salts and derivatives thereof. Amiloride, phenamil, and benzamil analogues are disclosed by Hirsch, et al., in J. Med. Chem. 49: 4098-4115 (2006), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Amiloride, phenamil, and benzamil analogues are listed in Table 1 and have the general chemical structure:

75 [0008] According to another aspect, this invention encompasses a method for imparting a more sugar-like temporal profile and/or flavor profile to a natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener by combining (i) at least one synthetic sweetener, NHPS, or modified NHPS, (ii) at least one salt, (iii) at least one salty taste inhibitor, and (iv) optionally at least one sweet taste improving composition selected from the group 80 consisting of carbohydrates, polyols, amino acids, other sweet taste improving additives, and combinations thereof.

[0019] As summarized above, embodiments of the present invention encompass a sweetener composition with improved temporal profile and/or flavor profile and methods for improving the temporal profile and/or flavor profile of natural and/or synthetic high-155 potency sweeteners. In particular, embodiments of the present invention improve the temporal profile and/or flavor profile of a natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener while reducing the salty taste that results from the addition of inorganic salts to the sweetener composition. Briefly described, embodiments of this invention address the above-described needs by providing a sweetener composition having improved temporal 160 profile and/or flavor profile comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at least one inorganic salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor.
The sweetener compositions optionally further comprise at least one other sweet taste improving composition other than the at least one inorganic salt.
[0020] As described hereinabove, it has been discovered that at least one natural 165 and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener in combination with at least one inorganic salt may impart a more sugar-like taste to the at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener. The addition of the inorganic salt, however, may result in the addition of a salty taste to the sweetener compositions. Not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the taste of the sweetener compositions can be improved further by reducing 170 the additional salty taste through the use of salty taste inhibitors.
Accordingly, a sweetener composition and method for providing a sweetener composition with an improved temporal profile and/or flavor profile are provided. In addition, sweetened compositions with a more sugar-like temporal profile and/or flavor profile comprising a sweetenable composition, at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at 175 least one salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor, and optionally at least one sweet taste improving composition are provided.
1. Salty taste inhibitors [0021] "Salty taste inhibitor", as used herein, includes compositions that reduce, suppress, or inhibit salty taste characteristics, and is synonymous with the phrases 180 "saltiness inhibitor" and "salt inhibitor." Non-limiting examples of salty taste inhibitors include ion channel competitors, epithelial sodium channel inhibitors, and vanilloid receptor-1 variant salt taste receptor inhibitors.
[0022] It is thought by those of ordinary skill in the art that mammals utilize two types of taste receptors to detect mineral salts. The first taste receptor is Na_,_ specific and 185 is described as the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na_'_ channel ("ENaC") (expressed on the apical membranes of salt-sensitive fungiform tastebud cells) while the second taste receptor does not discriminate among Na-'-, K+ and NH4-'- and is described as being an amiloride-insensitive channel. Although both the amiloride-sensitive and amiloride-insensitive salt taste receptors are present in humans, the amiloride-insensitive pathway 190 has been identified as being the primary contributor to salty taste in humans. The amiloride-insensitive pathway is believed to include a variant of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 ("TRPV F).
[0023] Not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the addition of at least one salty taste inhibitor to a combination of natural and/or synthetic high-potency 195 sweeteners and at least one inorganic salt will disrupt the amiloride sensitive and/or amiloride insensitive pathways, thereby reducing the perception of a salty taste. As used herein, the phrase "salty taste inhibitor" refers to any compounds which are safe for human consumption when used in amounts considered generally safe and which reduce, inhibit, or suppress the taste characteristics of a salt.
200 [0024] In one particular embodiment, suitable salty taste inhibitors may comprise compounds which inhibit TRPV 1 pathways. Non-limiting examples of suitable inhibitors (antagonists) may include Maillard reaction products of soy protein hydrolysates and reducing sugars (e.g., xylose), capsazepine, zoniporide, and the chemical compound SB366971 (N-(3-methoxyphenl)-chlorocinnamide) having the chemical structure:
Other TVPR1 antagonists capable of inhibiting salty taste may include iodo-resiniferatoxin, BCTC, neomycin, ruthenium red, SB-452533, DD161515, DD191515, and JYL1421.
[0025] As used herein, "protein hydrolysates" include mixtures of amino acids and 210 peptides prepared by hydrolyzing a protein with an acid, enzyme, or combination thereof.
Methods of preparing protein hydrolysates are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and are described in detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,875,456; 6,303,178; and 5,077,062, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0026] In another particular embodiment, suitable salty taste inhibitors comprise 215 compounds capable of inhibiting salty taste through other mechanisms such as ENaC
inhibitors, non-limiting examples of which include salts of citric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like as disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2006/0062814 (e.g., sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, 220 calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate), amiloride, phenamil, benzamil, , and the salts and derivatives thereof. Amiloride, phenamil, and benzamil analogues are disclosed by Hirsch, et al., in J. Med. Chem. 49: 4098-4115 (2006), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Amiloride, phenamil, and benzamil analogues are listed in Table 1 and have the general chemical structure:

235 'Commercially Available, R-enantiomer, S-enantiomer [0027] In still another particular embodiment, combinations of salty taste inhibitors are provided. For example, the sweetener composition may comprise a combination of TRPV 1 inhibitors, a combination of ENaC inhibitors, or a combination of 240 both TRPV 1 and ENaC inhibitors.
II. Sweetener Compositions [0028] The sweetener compositions described herein desirably comprise natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners having a more sugar-like temporal profile and/or flavor profile. As used herein, the phrases "sugar-like characteristic,"
"sugar-like taste,"
245 "sugary," and "sugar-like" are synonymous. Sugar-like characteristics include any characteristic similar to that of sucrose and include, but are not limited to, maximal response, flavor profile, temporal profile, adaptation behavior, mouthfeel, concentration/response function, tastant/and flavor/sweet taste interactions, spatial pattern selectivity, and temperature effects. These characteristics are dimensions in which the taste 250 of sucrose is different from the tastes of natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners.
Of these, however, the flavor profile and temporal profile are particularly important. In a single tasting of a sweet food or beverage, differences (1) in the attributes that constitute a sweetener's flavor profile and (2) in the rates of sweetness onset and dissipation, which constitute a sweetener's temporal profile, between those observed for sucrose and for a 255 natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener can be noted. Desirable embodiments of this invention exhibit a more sugar-like temporal profile or sugar-like flavor profile, or both, than compositions comprising a natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener composition, but without a salt or salty taste inhibitor.
[0029] Whether or not a characteristic is more sugar-like is determined by expert 260 sensory panel assessments of sugar and compositions comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, both with and without a sweet taste improving composition. Such assessments quantify similarities of the characteristics of compositions comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, both with and without a sweet taste improving composition, with those comprising sugar.
Suitable 265 procedures for determining whether a composition has a more sugar-like taste are well known in the art.
[0030] In a particular embodiment, a panel of assessors is used to measure the reduction of sweetness linger. Briefly described, a panel of assessors (generally 8 to 12 individuals) is trained to evaluate sweetness perception and measure sweetness at several 270 time points from when the sample is initially taken into the mouth until 3 minutes after it has been expectorated. Using statistical analysis, the results are compared between samples containing additives and samples that do not contain additives. A
decrease in score for a time point measured after the sample has cleared the mouth indicates there has been a reduction in sweetness perception.
275 [0031] The panel of assessors may be trained using procedures well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In a particular embodiment, the panel of assessors may be trained using the SpectrumTM Descriptive Analysis Method (Meilgaard et al, Sensory Evaluation Techniques, 3rd edition, Chapter 11). Desirably, the focus of training should be the recognition of and the measure of the basic tastes; specifically, sweet.
In order to 280 ensure accuracy and reproducibility of results, each assessor should repeat the measure of the reduction of sweetness linger about three to about five times per sample, taking at least a five minute break between each repetition and/or sample and rinsing well with water to clear the mouth.
[0032] Generally, the method of measuring sweetness comprises taking a 10 mL
285 sample into the mouth, holding the sample in the mouth for 5 seconds and gently swirling the sample in the mouth, rating the sweetness intensity perceived at 5 seconds, expectorating the sample (without swallowing following expectorating the sample), rinsing with one mouthful of water (e.g., vigorously moving water in mouth as if with mouth wash) and expectorating the rinse water, rating the sweetness intensity perceived 290 immediately upon expectorating the rinse water, waiting 45 seconds and, while waiting those 45 seconds, identifying the time of maximum perceived sweetness intensity and rating the sweetness intensity at that time (moving the mouth normally and swallowing as needed), rating the sweetness intensity after another 10 seconds, rating the sweetness intensity after another 60 seconds (cumulative 120 seconds after rinse), and rating the 295 sweetness intensity after still another 60 seconds (cumulative 180 seconds after rinse).
Between samples take a 5 minute break, rinsing well with water to clear the mouth.
[0033] The sweeteners desirably comprise non-caloric sweeteners or low-caloric sweeteners. Non-caloric sweeteners include any sweetener which comprises a lower caloric content and has a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose.
300 Non-caloric sweeteners include synthetic and natural high-potency sweeteners.
A. Caloric Sweeteners [0034] Non-limiting examples of suitable caloric carbohydrate sweeteners include sucrose, fructose, glucose, erythritol, maltitol, lactitol, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, D-305 tagatose, trehalose, galactose, rhamnose, cyclodextrin (e.g., a-cyclodextrin, f3-cyclodextrin, and y-cyclodextrin), ribulose, threose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, allose, altrose, mannose, idose, lactose, maltose, invert sugar, isotrehalose, neotrehalose, palatinose or isomaltulose, erythrose, deoxyribose, gulose, idose, talose, erythrulose, xylulose, psicose, turanose, cellobiose, glucosamine, mannosamine, fucose, glucuronic 310 acid, gluconic acid, glucono-lactone, abequose, galactosamine, xylo-oligosaccharides (xylotriose, xylobiose and the like), gentio-oligoscaccharides (gentiobiose, gentiotriose, gentiotetraose and the like), galacto-oligosaccharides, sorbose, nigero-oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides (kestose, nystose and the like), maltotetraol, maltotriol, malto-oligosaccharides (maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose 315 and the like), lactulose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, isomerized liquid sugars such as high fructose cornstarch syrup (e.g., HFCS55, HFCS42, or HFCS90), coupling sugars, soybean oligosaccharides, and glucose syrup..
B. Synthetic High-Potency Sweeteners [0035] As used herein, the phrase "synthetic sweetener" is synonymous with 320 "synthetic high-potency sweetener" and refers to any compositions which are not found in nature and which characteristically have a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose, yet have less calories. Non-limiting examples of synthetic sweeteners suitable for embodiments of this invention include sucralose, potassium acesulfame, aspartame, alitame, saccharin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, cyclamate, neotame, N- [3-325 (3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbutyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, salts thereof, and the like.
C. Natural High-Potency Sweeteners 330 [0036] As used herein the phrases "natural high-potency sweetener", "NHPS", "NHPS composition", and "natural high-potency sweetener composition" are synonymous. "NHPS" means any sweetener found in nature which may be in raw, extracted, purified, or any other form, singularly or in combination thereof and characteristically have a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose, yet 335 have less calories. Non-limiting examples of NHPSs suitable for embodiments of this invention include rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C (dulcoside B), rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E, rebaudioside F, dulcoside A, rubusoside, stevia, stevioside, mogroside IV, mogroside V, Luo Han Guo sweetener, siamenoside, monatin and its salts (monatin SS, RR, RS, SR), curculin, glycyrrhizic acid and its salts, thaumatin, 340 monellin, mabinlin, brazzein, hernandulcin, phyllodulcin, glycyphyllin, phloridzin, trilobatin, baiyunoside, osladin, polypodoside A, pterocaryoside A, pterocaryoside B, mukurozioside, phlomisoside I, periandrin I, abrusoside A, and cyclocarioside I. NHPS
also includes modified NHPSs. The modified NHPSs include NHPSs which have been altered naturally. For example, a modified NHPS includes, but is not limited to, NHPSs 345 which have been fermented, contacted with enzyme, or derivatized or substituted on the NHPS. In one embodiment, at least one modified NHPS may be used in combination with at least one NHPS. In another embodiment, at least one modified NHPS may be used without a NHPS. Thus, modified NHPSs may be substituted for a NHPS or may be used in combination with NHPSs for any of the embodiments described herein. For the sake of 350 brevity, however, in the description of embodiments of this invention, a modified NHPS is not expressly described as an alternative to an unmodified NHPS, but it should be understood that modified NHPSs can be substituted for NHPSs in any embodiment disclosed herein.
[0037] In one embodiment, extracts of a NHPS may be used in any purity 355 percentage. In another embodiment, when a NHPS is used as a non-extract, the purity of the NHPS may range for example from about 25 % to about 100 %. According to other embodiments, the purity of the NHPS may range from about 50 % to about 100 %;
from about 70 % to about 100 %; from about 80 % to about 100 %; from about 90 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 99.5 %; from about 96 360 % to about 100 %; from about 97 % to about 100 %; from about 98 % to about 100 %; and from about 99 % to about 100 %.
[0038] Purity, as used here, represents the weight percentage of a respective NHPS
compound present in a NHPS extract, in raw or purified form. In one embodiment, a steviolglycoside extract comprises a particular steviolglycoside in a particular purity, with 365 the remainder of the stevioglycoside extract comprising a mixture of other steviolglycosides.
[0039] To obtain a particularly pure extract of a NHPS, such as rebaudioside A, it may be necessary to purify the crude extract to a substantially pure form.
Such methods generally are known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
370 [0040] An exemplary method for purifying a NHPS, such as rebaudioside A, is described in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/751,627, filed May 21, 2007, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/805,216 and 60/889,318, filed on June 19, 2006, and February 12, 2007, respectively, all entitled "Rebaudioside A
Composition and Method for Purifying Rebaudioside A," the disclosures of which are 375 incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0041] Briefly described, substantially pure rebaudioside A is crystallized in a single step from an aqueous organic solution comprising at least one organic solvent and water in an amount from about 10 % to about 25 % by weight, more particularly from about 15 % to about 20 % by weight. Organic solvents may comprise alcohols, acetone, 380 and acetonitile. Non-limiting examples of alcohols include ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, tert-butanol, and isobutanol.
In one embodiment, the at least one organic solvent comprises a mixture of ethanol and methanol present in the aqueous organic solution in a weight ratio ranging from about 20 parts to about 1 part ethanol to about 1 part methanol, in another embodiment from about 3 parts to 385 about 1 part ethanol to about 1 part methanol.
[0042] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the aqueous organic solution and crude rebaudioside A ranges from about 10 to about 4 parts aqueous organic solution to about 1 part crude rebaudioside A, more particularly from about 5 to about 3 parts aqueous organic solution to about 1 part crude rebaudioside A.
390 [0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A
is carried out at approximately room temperature. In another embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the step of heating the rebaudioside A solution to a temperature in a range from about 20 C to about 40 C, or in another embodiment to a reflux temperature, for about 0.25 hour to about 8 hours. In another exemplary 395 embodiment, wherein the method for purifying rebaudioside A comprises the step of heating the rebaudioside A solution, the method further comprises the step of cooling the rebaudioside A solution to a temperature in the range from about 4 C to about 25 C for about 0.5 hour to about 24 hours.
[0044] According to particular embodiments, the purity of rebaudioside A may 400 range from about 50 % to about 100 %; from about 70 % to about 100 %; from about 80 % to about 100 %; from about 90 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 100 %;
from about 95 % to about 99.5 %; about 96 % to about 100 %; from about 97 % to about 100 %; from about 98 % to about 100 %; and from about 99 % to about 100 %.
According to particular embodiments, upon crystallization of crude rebaudioside A the substantially 405 pure rebaudioside A composition comprises rebaudioside A in a purity greater than about 95 % by weight up to about 100 % by weight on a dry basis. In other exemplary embodiments, substantially pure rebaudioside A comprises purity levels of rebaudioside A
greater than about 97 % up to about 100 % rebaudioside A by weight on a dry basis, greater than about 98 % up to about 100 % by weight on a dry basis, or greater than about 410 99 % up to about 100 % by weight on a dry basis. The rebaudioside A
solution during the single crystallization step may be stirred or unstirred.
[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A
further comprises the step of seeding (optional step) the rebaudioside A
solution at an appropriate temperature with high-purity crystals of rebaudioside A sufficient to promote 415 crystallization of the rebaudioside A to form pure rebaudioside A. An amount of rebaudioside A sufficient to promote crystallization of substantially pure rebaudioside A
comprises an amount of rebaudioside A from about 0.0001 % to about 1 % by weight of the rebaudioside A present in the solution, more particularly from about 0.01 % to about 1 % by weight. An appropriate temperature for the step of seeding comprises a temperature 420 in a range from about 18 C to about 35 C.
[0046] In another exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A

Additionally, separation may be enhanced by any of pressure, vacuum, and gravity filtration methods, that include, without limitation, the use of belt, drum, Nutsche 430 type, leaf, plate, Rosenmund type, sparkler type, and bag filters and filter press. Operation of the rebaudioside A solid-liquid separation device may be continuous, semi-continuous or in batch mode. The substantially pure rebaudioside A composition also may be washed on the separation device using various aqueous organic solutions and mixtures thereof.
The substantially pure rebaudioside A composition can be dried partially or totally on the 435 separation device using any number of gases, including, without limitation, nitrogen and argon, to evaporate residual liquid solvent. The substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition may be removed automatically or manually from the separation device using liquids, gases or mechanical means by either dissolving the solid or maintaining the solid form.
440 [0047] In still another exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the step of drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition using techniques well known to those skilled in the art, non-limiting examples of which include the use of a rotary vacuum dryer, fluid bed dryer, rotary tunnel dryer, plate dryer, tray dryer, Nauta type dryer, spray dryer, flash dryer, micron dryer, pan 445 dryer, high and low speed paddle dryer and microwave dryer. In an exemplary embodiment, the step of drying comprises drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition using a nitrogen or argon purge to remove the residual solvent at a temperature in a range from about 40 C to about 60 C for about 5 hours to about 100 hours.
450 [0048] In yet another exemplary embodiment, wherein the crude rebaudioside A
mixture comprises substantially no rebaudioside D impurity, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the step of slurrying the composition of substantially pure rebaudioside A with an organic solvent or an aqueous organic solution prior to the step of separating and drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition. The 455 slurry is a mixture comprising a solid and an aqueous organic solution or organic solvent, wherein the solid comprises the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition and is only sparingly soluble in the aqueous organic solution or organic solvent. In an embodiment, the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition and aqueous organic solution or organic solvent are present in the slurry in a weight ratio ranging from about 15 parts to 1 part 460 aqueous organic solution to about 1 part substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
In one embodiment, the slurry is maintained at room temperature. In another embodiment, the step of slurrying comprises heating the slurry to a temperature in a range from about 20 to about 40 C. The substantially pure rebaudioside A composition is slurried for about 0.5 hour to about 24 hours.
465 [0049] In still yet another exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the steps of separating the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition from the aqueous organic solution or organic solvent of the slurry and washing the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition followed by the step of drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition.
470 [0050] If further purification is desired, the method of purifying rebaudioside A
described herein may be repeated or the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition may be purified further using an alternative purification method, such as the column chromatography.
[0051] It also is contemplated that other NHPSs may be purified using the 475 purification method described herein, requiring only minor experimentation that would be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0052] The purification of rebaudioside A by crystallization as described above results in the formation of at least three different polymorphs: Form 1: a rebaudioside A
hydrate; Form 2: an anhydrous rebaudioside A; and Form 3: a rebaudioside A
solvate. In 480 addition to the at least three polymorphic forms of rebaudioside A, the purification of rebaudioside A may result in the formation of an amorphous form of rebaudioside A, Form 4. The aqueous organic solution and temperature of the purification process influence the resulting polymorphs in the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
Figures 1-5 are exemplary powder x-ray diffraction (XRPD) scans of the polymorphic and 485 amorphous forms of rebaudioside A: Form 1 (hydrate), Form 2 (anhydrate), Form 3A
(methanol solvate), Form 3B (ethanol solvate), and Form 4 (amorphous), respectively.
[0053] The material properties of the four rebaudioside A polymorphs are summarized in the following table:
Table 7: Rebaudioside A Polymorphic and Amorphous Forms Form 1 Form 2 Form 3 Form 4 Polymorph Polymorph Polymorph Amorphous Rate of Very low (<0.2 Intermediate High (> 30 % High (> 35.0 dissolution in % in 60 (<30 % in 5 in 5 minutes) % in 5 H2O at 25 C minutes) minutes) minutes) Alcohol content < 0.5 % < 1 % 1-3 % > 0.05 %
Moisture content > 5 % < 1 % < 3 % <6%
[0054] The type of polymorph formed is dependent on the composition of the aqueous organic solution, the temperature of the crystallization step, and the temperature during the drying step. Form 1 and Form 3 are believed to be formed during the single crystallization step while Form 2 is believed to be formed during the drying step after 495 conversion from Form 1 or Form 3.
[0055] Low temperatures during the crystallization step, in the range of about to about 50 C, and a low ratio of water to the organic solvent in the aqueous organic solution results in the formation of Form 3. High temperatures during the crystallization step, in the range of about 50 C to about 80 C, and a high ratio of water to the organic 500 solvent in the aqueous organic solution results in the formation of Form 1. Form 1 can be converted to Form 3 by slurrying in an anhydrous solvent at room temperature (2-16 hours) or at reflux for approximately (0.5-3 hours). Form 3 can be converted to Form 1 by slurrying the polymorph in water at room temperature for approximately 16 hours or at reflux for approximately 2-3 hours. Form 3 can be converted to Form 2 during the drying 505 process; however, increasing either the drying temperature above 70 C or the drying time of a substantially pure rebaudioside A composition can result in decomposition of the rebaudioside A and increase the level of rebaudioside B impurity in the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition. Form 2 can be converted to Form 1 with the addition of water.
510 [0056] Form 4 may be formed from Form 1, 2, 3, or combinations thereof, using methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Non-limiting examples of such methods include ball milling, precipitation, lypophilization, cryo-grinding, and spray-drying. In a particular embodiment, Form 4 can be prepared from a substantially pure rebaudioside A composition obtained by the purification methods described hereinabove 515 by spray-drying a solution of the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
[0057] According to particular embodiments, the rebaudioside A composition may be modified to comprise particular amounts of the polymorphic or amorphous forms. For example, in one embodiment the rebaudioside A composition may be modified to have an increased amount of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount 520 of the combined Forms falls within the desired range) while decreasing the amount of Form 1 present. Not wishing to be bound by any theory, by controlling the amount of the particular polymorphic and/or amorphous forms present in the rebaudioside A
composition, a desired rate of dissolution of the rebaudioside A composition may be obtained.
525 [0058] For example, in a particular embodiment the rebaudioside A
composition may comprise any one of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount of the combined Forms falls within the designated range) in an amount of at least about 10 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition, at least about 25 %, at least about 50 %, at least about 75 %, at least about 90 %, or at least 99 % by weight of the 530 rebaudioside A composition. In another embodiment, the rebaudioside A
composition may comprise an amount of any one of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount of the combined Forms falls within the designated range) in an amount from about 10 % up to about 100 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition, from about 25 % up to about 100 %, from about 50 % up to about 100 %, from about 75 %
535 up to about 100 %, or from about 90 % up to about 100 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition. Alternatively or in addition to controlling the amount of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or combinations thereof which are present in the rebaudioside A composition, one skilled in the art may desire to control the rate of dissolution of the rebaudioside A
composition by modifying the amount of Form 1 present in the rebaudioside A composition.
Accordingly, 540 in a particular embodiment the rebaudioside A composition may comprise Form 1 in an amount up to about 50 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition, up to about 25 %, up to about 10 %, up to about 5 %, or up to about 1 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition. In another embodiment, the rebaudioside A composition may comprise Form 1 in an amount from about 0.5 % up to about 50 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
545 composition, from about 0.5 % up to about 25 %, from about 0.5 % up to about 10 %, from about 0.5 % up to about 5 %, or from about 0.5 % up to about 1 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition.

235 'Commercially Available, R-enantiomer, S-enantiomer [0027] In still another particular embodiment, combinations of salty taste inhibitors are provided. For example, the sweetener composition may comprise a combination of TRPV 1 inhibitors, a combination of ENaC inhibitors, or a combination of 240 both TRPV 1 and ENaC inhibitors.
II. Sweetener Compositions [0028] The sweetener compositions described herein desirably comprise natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners having a more sugar-like temporal profile and/or flavor profile. As used herein, the phrases "sugar-like characteristic,"
"sugar-like taste,"
245 "sugary," and "sugar-like" are synonymous. Sugar-like characteristics include any characteristic similar to that of sucrose and include, but are not limited to, maximal response, flavor profile, temporal profile, adaptation behavior, mouthfeel, concentration/response function, tastant/and flavor/sweet taste interactions, spatial pattern selectivity, and temperature effects. These characteristics are dimensions in which the taste 250 of sucrose is different from the tastes of natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweeteners.
Of these, however, the flavor profile and temporal profile are particularly important. In a single tasting of a sweet food or beverage, differences (1) in the attributes that constitute a sweetener's flavor profile and (2) in the rates of sweetness onset and dissipation, which constitute a sweetener's temporal profile, between those observed for sucrose and for a 255 natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener can be noted. Desirable embodiments of this invention exhibit a more sugar-like temporal profile or sugar-like flavor profile, or both, than compositions comprising a natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener composition, but without a salt or salty taste inhibitor.
[0029] Whether or not a characteristic is more sugar-like is determined by expert 260 sensory panel assessments of sugar and compositions comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, both with and without a sweet taste improving composition. Such assessments quantify similarities of the characteristics of compositions comprising at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, both with and without a sweet taste improving composition, with those comprising sugar.
Suitable 265 procedures for determining whether a composition has a more sugar-like taste are well known in the art.
[0030] In a particular embodiment, a panel of assessors is used to measure the reduction of sweetness linger. Briefly described, a panel of assessors (generally 8 to 12 individuals) is trained to evaluate sweetness perception and measure sweetness at several 270 time points from when the sample is initially taken into the mouth until 3 minutes after it has been expectorated. Using statistical analysis, the results are compared between samples containing additives and samples that do not contain additives. A
decrease in score for a time point measured after the sample has cleared the mouth indicates there has been a reduction in sweetness perception.
275 [0031] The panel of assessors may be trained using procedures well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In a particular embodiment, the panel of assessors may be trained using the SpectrumTM Descriptive Analysis Method (Meilgaard et al, Sensory Evaluation Techniques, 3rd edition, Chapter 11). Desirably, the focus of training should be the recognition of and the measure of the basic tastes; specifically, sweet.
In order to 280 ensure accuracy and reproducibility of results, each assessor should repeat the measure of the reduction of sweetness linger about three to about five times per sample, taking at least a five minute break between each repetition and/or sample and rinsing well with water to clear the mouth.
[0032] Generally, the method of measuring sweetness comprises taking a 10 mL
285 sample into the mouth, holding the sample in the mouth for 5 seconds and gently swirling the sample in the mouth, rating the sweetness intensity perceived at 5 seconds, expectorating the sample (without swallowing following expectorating the sample), rinsing with one mouthful of water (e.g., vigorously moving water in mouth as if with mouth wash) and expectorating the rinse water, rating the sweetness intensity perceived 290 immediately upon expectorating the rinse water, waiting 45 seconds and, while waiting those 45 seconds, identifying the time of maximum perceived sweetness intensity and rating the sweetness intensity at that time (moving the mouth normally and swallowing as needed), rating the sweetness intensity after another 10 seconds, rating the sweetness intensity after another 60 seconds (cumulative 120 seconds after rinse), and rating the 295 sweetness intensity after still another 60 seconds (cumulative 180 seconds after rinse).
Between samples take a 5 minute break, rinsing well with water to clear the mouth.
[0033] The sweeteners desirably comprise non-caloric sweeteners or low-caloric sweeteners. Non-caloric sweeteners include any sweetener which comprises a lower caloric content and has a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose.
300 Non-caloric sweeteners include synthetic and natural high-potency sweeteners.
A. Caloric Sweeteners [0034] Non-limiting examples of suitable caloric carbohydrate sweeteners include sucrose, fructose, glucose, erythritol, maltitol, lactitol, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, D-305 tagatose, trehalose, galactose, rhamnose, cyclodextrin (e.g., a-cyclodextrin, f3-cyclodextrin, and y-cyclodextrin), ribulose, threose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, allose, altrose, mannose, idose, lactose, maltose, invert sugar, isotrehalose, neotrehalose, palatinose or isomaltulose, erythrose, deoxyribose, gulose, idose, talose, erythrulose, xylulose, psicose, turanose, cellobiose, glucosamine, mannosamine, fucose, glucuronic 310 acid, gluconic acid, glucono-lactone, abequose, galactosamine, xylo-oligosaccharides (xylotriose, xylobiose and the like), gentio-oligoscaccharides (gentiobiose, gentiotriose, gentiotetraose and the like), galacto-oligosaccharides, sorbose, nigero-oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides (kestose, nystose and the like), maltotetraol, maltotriol, malto-oligosaccharides (maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose 315 and the like), lactulose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, isomerized liquid sugars such as high fructose cornstarch syrup (e.g., HFCS55, HFCS42, or HFCS90), coupling sugars, soybean oligosaccharides, and glucose syrup..
B. Synthetic High-Potency Sweeteners [0035] As used herein, the phrase "synthetic sweetener" is synonymous with 320 "synthetic high-potency sweetener" and refers to any compositions which are not found in nature and which characteristically have a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose, yet have less calories. Non-limiting examples of synthetic sweeteners suitable for embodiments of this invention include sucralose, potassium acesulfame, aspartame, alitame, saccharin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, cyclamate, neotame, N- [3-325 (3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbutyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-a-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, salts thereof, and the like.
C. Natural High-Potency Sweeteners 330 [0036] As used herein the phrases "natural high-potency sweetener", "NHPS", "NHPS composition", and "natural high-potency sweetener composition" are synonymous. "NHPS" means any sweetener found in nature which may be in raw, extracted, purified, or any other form, singularly or in combination thereof and characteristically have a sweetness potency greater than sucrose, fructose, or glucose, yet 335 have less calories. Non-limiting examples of NHPSs suitable for embodiments of this invention include rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C (dulcoside B), rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E, rebaudioside F, dulcoside A, rubusoside, stevia, stevioside, mogroside IV, mogroside V, Luo Han Guo sweetener, siamenoside, monatin and its salts (monatin SS, RR, RS, SR), curculin, glycyrrhizic acid and its salts, thaumatin, 340 monellin, mabinlin, brazzein, hernandulcin, phyllodulcin, glycyphyllin, phloridzin, trilobatin, baiyunoside, osladin, polypodoside A, pterocaryoside A, pterocaryoside B, mukurozioside, phlomisoside I, periandrin I, abrusoside A, and cyclocarioside I. NHPS
also includes modified NHPSs. The modified NHPSs include NHPSs which have been altered naturally. For example, a modified NHPS includes, but is not limited to, NHPSs 345 which have been fermented, contacted with enzyme, or derivatized or substituted on the NHPS. In one embodiment, at least one modified NHPS may be used in combination with at least one NHPS. In another embodiment, at least one modified NHPS may be used without a NHPS. Thus, modified NHPSs may be substituted for a NHPS or may be used in combination with NHPSs for any of the embodiments described herein. For the sake of 350 brevity, however, in the description of embodiments of this invention, a modified NHPS is not expressly described as an alternative to an unmodified NHPS, but it should be understood that modified NHPSs can be substituted for NHPSs in any embodiment disclosed herein.
[0037] In one embodiment, extracts of a NHPS may be used in any purity 355 percentage. In another embodiment, when a NHPS is used as a non-extract, the purity of the NHPS may range for example from about 25 % to about 100 %. According to other embodiments, the purity of the NHPS may range from about 50 % to about 100 %;
from about 70 % to about 100 %; from about 80 % to about 100 %; from about 90 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 99.5 %; from about 96 360 % to about 100 %; from about 97 % to about 100 %; from about 98 % to about 100 %; and from about 99 % to about 100 %.
[0038] Purity, as used here, represents the weight percentage of a respective NHPS
compound present in a NHPS extract, in raw or purified form. In one embodiment, a steviolglycoside extract comprises a particular steviolglycoside in a particular purity, with 365 the remainder of the stevioglycoside extract comprising a mixture of other steviolglycosides.
[0039] To obtain a particularly pure extract of a NHPS, such as rebaudioside A, it may be necessary to purify the crude extract to a substantially pure form.
Such methods generally are known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
370 [0040] An exemplary method for purifying a NHPS, such as rebaudioside A, is described in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/751,627, filed May 21, 2007, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/805,216 and 60/889,318, filed on June 19, 2006, and February 12, 2007, respectively, all entitled "Rebaudioside A
Composition and Method for Purifying Rebaudioside A," the disclosures of which are 375 incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0041] Briefly described, substantially pure rebaudioside A is crystallized in a single step from an aqueous organic solution comprising at least one organic solvent and water in an amount from about 10 % to about 25 % by weight, more particularly from about 15 % to about 20 % by weight. Organic solvents may comprise alcohols, acetone, 380 and acetonitile. Non-limiting examples of alcohols include ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, tert-butanol, and isobutanol.
In one embodiment, the at least one organic solvent comprises a mixture of ethanol and methanol present in the aqueous organic solution in a weight ratio ranging from about 20 parts to about 1 part ethanol to about 1 part methanol, in another embodiment from about 3 parts to 385 about 1 part ethanol to about 1 part methanol.
[0042] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the aqueous organic solution and crude rebaudioside A ranges from about 10 to about 4 parts aqueous organic solution to about 1 part crude rebaudioside A, more particularly from about 5 to about 3 parts aqueous organic solution to about 1 part crude rebaudioside A.
390 [0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A
is carried out at approximately room temperature. In another embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the step of heating the rebaudioside A solution to a temperature in a range from about 20 C to about 40 C, or in another embodiment to a reflux temperature, for about 0.25 hour to about 8 hours. In another exemplary 395 embodiment, wherein the method for purifying rebaudioside A comprises the step of heating the rebaudioside A solution, the method further comprises the step of cooling the rebaudioside A solution to a temperature in the range from about 4 C to about 25 C for about 0.5 hour to about 24 hours.
[0044] According to particular embodiments, the purity of rebaudioside A may 400 range from about 50 % to about 100 %; from about 70 % to about 100 %; from about 80 % to about 100 %; from about 90 % to about 100 %; from about 95 % to about 100 %;

In an exemplary embodiment, the step of drying comprises drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition using a nitrogen or argon purge to remove the residual solvent at a temperature in a range from about 40 C to about 60 C for about 5 hours to about 100 hours.
450 [0048] In yet another exemplary embodiment, wherein the crude rebaudioside A
mixture comprises substantially no rebaudioside D impurity, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the step of slurrying the composition of substantially pure rebaudioside A with an organic solvent or an aqueous organic solution prior to the step of separating and drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition. The 455 slurry is a mixture comprising a solid and an aqueous organic solution or organic solvent, wherein the solid comprises the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition and is only sparingly soluble in the aqueous organic solution or organic solvent. In an embodiment, the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition and aqueous organic solution or organic solvent are present in the slurry in a weight ratio ranging from about 15 parts to 1 part 460 aqueous organic solution to about 1 part substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
In one embodiment, the slurry is maintained at room temperature. In another embodiment, the step of slurrying comprises heating the slurry to a temperature in a range from about 20 to about 40 C. The substantially pure rebaudioside A composition is slurried for about 0.5 hour to about 24 hours.
465 [0049] In still yet another exemplary embodiment, the method of purifying rebaudioside A further comprises the steps of separating the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition from the aqueous organic solution or organic solvent of the slurry and washing the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition followed by the step of drying the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition.
470 [0050] If further purification is desired, the method of purifying rebaudioside A
described herein may be repeated or the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition may be purified further using an alternative purification method, such as the column chromatography.
[0051] It also is contemplated that other NHPSs may be purified using the 475 purification method described herein, requiring only minor experimentation that would be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0052] The purification of rebaudioside A by crystallization as described above results in the formation of at least three different polymorphs: Form 1: a rebaudioside A
hydrate; Form 2: an anhydrous rebaudioside A; and Form 3: a rebaudioside A
solvate. In 480 addition to the at least three polymorphic forms of rebaudioside A, the purification of rebaudioside A may result in the formation of an amorphous form of rebaudioside A, Form 4. The aqueous organic solution and temperature of the purification process influence the resulting polymorphs in the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
Figures 1-5 are exemplary powder x-ray diffraction (XRPD) scans of the polymorphic and 485 amorphous forms of rebaudioside A: Form 1 (hydrate), Form 2 (anhydrate), Form 3A
(methanol solvate), Form 3B (ethanol solvate), and Form 4 (amorphous), respectively.
[0053] The material properties of the four rebaudioside A polymorphs are summarized in the following table:
Table 7: Rebaudioside A Polymorphic and Amorphous Forms Form 1 Form 2 Form 3 Form 4 Polymorph Polymorph Polymorph Amorphous Rate of Very low (<0.2 Intermediate High (> 30 % High (> 35.0 dissolution in % in 60 (<30 % in 5 in 5 minutes) % in 5 H2O at 25 C minutes) minutes) minutes) Alcohol content < 0.5 % < 1 % 1-3 % > 0.05 %
Moisture content > 5 % < 1 % < 3 % <6%
[0054] The type of polymorph formed is dependent on the composition of the aqueous organic solution, the temperature of the crystallization step, and the temperature during the drying step. Form 1 and Form 3 are believed to be formed during the single crystallization step while Form 2 is believed to be formed during the drying step after 495 conversion from Form 1 or Form 3.
[0055] Low temperatures during the crystallization step, in the range of about to about 50 C, and a low ratio of water to the organic solvent in the aqueous organic solution results in the formation of Form 3. High temperatures during the crystallization step, in the range of about 50 C to about 80 C, and a high ratio of water to the organic 500 solvent in the aqueous organic solution results in the formation of Form 1. Form 1 can be converted to Form 3 by slurrying in an anhydrous solvent at room temperature (2-16 hours) or at reflux for approximately (0.5-3 hours). Form 3 can be converted to Form 1 by slurrying the polymorph in water at room temperature for approximately 16 hours or at reflux for approximately 2-3 hours. Form 3 can be converted to Form 2 during the drying 505 process; however, increasing either the drying temperature above 70 C or the drying time of a substantially pure rebaudioside A composition can result in decomposition of the rebaudioside A and increase the level of rebaudioside B impurity in the substantially pure rebaudioside A composition. Form 2 can be converted to Form 1 with the addition of water.
510 [0056] Form 4 may be formed from Form 1, 2, 3, or combinations thereof, using methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Non-limiting examples of such methods include ball milling, precipitation, lypophilization, cryo-grinding, and spray-drying. In a particular embodiment, Form 4 can be prepared from a substantially pure rebaudioside A composition obtained by the purification methods described hereinabove 515 by spray-drying a solution of the substantially pure rebaudioside A
composition.
[0057] According to particular embodiments, the rebaudioside A composition may be modified to comprise particular amounts of the polymorphic or amorphous forms. For example, in one embodiment the rebaudioside A composition may be modified to have an increased amount of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount 520 of the combined Forms falls within the desired range) while decreasing the amount of Form 1 present. Not wishing to be bound by any theory, by controlling the amount of the particular polymorphic and/or amorphous forms present in the rebaudioside A
composition, a desired rate of dissolution of the rebaudioside A composition may be obtained.
525 [0058] For example, in a particular embodiment the rebaudioside A
composition may comprise any one of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount of the combined Forms falls within the designated range) in an amount of at least about 10 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition, at least about 25 %, at least about 50 %, at least about 75 %, at least about 90 %, or at least 99 % by weight of the 530 rebaudioside A composition. In another embodiment, the rebaudioside A
composition may comprise an amount of any one of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or a combination thereof (such that the total amount of the combined Forms falls within the designated range) in an amount from about 10 % up to about 100 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition, from about 25 % up to about 100 %, from about 50 % up to about 100 %, from about 75 %
535 up to about 100 %, or from about 90 % up to about 100 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition. Alternatively or in addition to controlling the amount of Forms 2, 3, or 4, or combinations thereof which are present in the rebaudioside A composition, one skilled in the art may desire to control the rate of dissolution of the rebaudioside A
composition by modifying the amount of Form 1 present in the rebaudioside A composition.
Accordingly, 540 in a particular embodiment the rebaudioside A composition may comprise Form 1 in an amount up to about 50 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition, up to about 25 %, up to about 10 %, up to about 5 %, or up to about 1 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
composition. In another embodiment, the rebaudioside A composition may comprise Form 1 in an amount from about 0.5 % up to about 50 % by weight of the rebaudioside A
545 composition, from about 0.5 % up to about 25 %, from about 0.5 % up to about 10 %, from about 0.5 % up to about 5 %, or from about 0.5 % up to about 1 % by weight of the rebaudioside A composition.
C.

1935 F. Combinations of Sweeteners and Sweet Taste Improving Compositions [00105] According to a particular embodiment of this invention, the sweetener composition provided herein comprises at least one salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor, and optionally at least one sweet taste improving composition in the sweetener composition in an amount effective for the sweetener composition to impart an osmolarity 1940 of at least 10 mOsmoles/L to an aqueous solution of the sweetener composition, wherein the at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener is present in the aqueous solution in an amount sufficient to impart a maximum sweetness intensity equivalent to that of a 10 % aqueous solution of sucrose by weight. As used herein, "mOsmoles/L"
refers to milliosmoles per liter. According to another embodiment, the sweetener 1945 composition comprises at least one salt, at least one salty taste inhibitor, and optionally at least one sweet taste improving composition in an amount effective for the sweetener composition to impart an osmolarity of 10 to 500 mOsmoles/L, in another embodiment an osmolarity of 25 to 500 mOsmoles/L preferably, in still another embodiment an osmolarity of 100 to 500 mOsmoles/L, in yet another embodiment an osmolarity of 200 to 1950 mOsmoles/L, and in still yet another embodiment an osmolarity of 300 to mOsmoles/L to an aqueous solution of the sweetener composition, wherein the at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener is present in the aqueous solution in an amount sufficient to impart a maximum sweetness intensity equivalent to that of a 10 %
aqueous solution of sucrose by weight. Wherein a plurality of sweet taste improving 1955 compositions are combined with at least one natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at least one salt, and at least one salty taste inhibitor, the osmolarity imparted is that of the total combination of the plurality of sweet taste improving compositions and at least one salt and at least one salty taste inhibitor.
[00106] Osmolarity refers to the measure of osmoles of solute per liter of solution, 1960 wherein osmole is equal to the number of moles of osmotically active particles in an ideal solution (e.g., a mole of glucose is one osmole), whereas a mole of sodium chloride is two osmoles (one mole of sodium and one mole of chloride). Thus, in order to improve in the quality of taste of the sweetener composition, the osmotically active compounds or the compounds which impart osmolarity must not introduce significant off taste to the 1965 formulation.
