Improving Sweetener Solubility through Molecular Techniques

A mixture of stevioside and rebaudioside D that provides a complete solubility of rebaudioside D in water. This allows for a synergistic blend of steviol glycosides with improved taste over rebaudioside A alone. The stevioside disrupts rebaudioside D's crystal structure, lowers the energy required to dissolve it in water, and masks its taste. This enables commercial use of rebaudioside D as a sweetener.

A natural, stable and soluble sweetener composition using stevia extracts as a sugar substitute. The composition mixes stevia glycosides with a natural emulsifier extracted from the Quillaja tree. The emulsifier enhances the solubility of stevia glycosides in water to prevent precipitation and stabilize the sweetener solution.

Solubilized steviol glycoside solutions containing steviol glycosides like rebaudioside A and D in high concentrations for use as sweeteners in foods, beverages, dental products, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, etc. The solutions use solubility enhancers like hydroxycinnamic acids to improve the solubility of steviol glycosides that have low solubility. The enhancers allow the steviol glycosides to stay dissolved at concentrations above 0.2% or even 10% or more.

Steviol glycoside compositions with reduced surface tension. The compositions contain one or more steviol glycosides and one or more surface tension reducing compounds like natural acids. The surface tension reducing compounds are added in amounts effective to reduce the surface tension of the steviol glycoside solution. The compositions are useful for making low-calorie beverages and other products that retain a sweet taste from the steviol glycosides but have improved wetting and foaming properties. The surface tension reduction allows making carbonated drinks, dry drink mixes, etc. with stevia that perform better compared to stevia solutions without surface tension reducers.

An efficient process for purifying steviol glycosides from the Stevia rebaudiana plant to obtain high-purity compositions that are soluble in water. The process involves dissolving the starting material in aqueous alcohol, cooling it to precipitate out the glycosides, separating the crystals, and drying them.

A sweetening composition comprising rebaudioside D and a stevioside composition that provides a complete rebaudioside D solubilization in water. This sweetening composition solves the problem of rebaudioside D's poor solubility and allows using it as a low-calorie sweetener. The solubility is enhanced by blending rebaudioside D with stevioside at specific ratios.

A stevia sweetener that combines partially glycosylated glycosides with regular steviol glycosides to improve solubility and taste over regular stevia extracts. The partially glycosylated compounds are made by controlling the glycosylation process. The composition contains less than 70% partially glycosylated glycosides with the remainder being regular steviol glycosides like rebaudioside A. The mixture is heated and cooled to dissolve and stabilize the glycosides.

A complex of rebaudioside D mixed with carbohydrates or vitamins that increases the solubility of rebaudioside D in water while retaining its sweet taste. The complex allows rebaudioside D to be dissolved in water at higher concentrations than before, making it more suitable as a calorie-free sweetener. The complex is formed by melting rebaudioside D with a carbohydrate or vitamin compound and cooling it to solidify.

New, soluble steviol glycosides that can be used as sweeteners in food, beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical products. The glycosides are isomers of known steviol glycosides like rebaudioside M and D. They are produced using fermentation or extraction from plants. Mixing these isomers with low-solubility steviol glycosides like rebaudioside M improves their solubility in water, making them more useful as sweeteners.

A sweetener composition that uses specific glycosylated steviol glycosides, derived from the Stevia plant, along with other steviol glycosides to improve solubility and taste compared to existing Stevia extracts. The compositions containing specific ratios of glycosylated steviol glycosides and other steviol glycosides. The glycosylated steviol glycosides can be partially glycosylated or contain multiple glycosylation. The compositions can be prepared by mixing and heating the glycosides in water to dissolve and then cooling or spray drying/crystallizing. The treated compositions have improved solubility and taste in liquid applications compared to untreated stevia extracts.

A process for making highly soluble Stevia sweetener using temperature gradient solubilization. It involves dissolving Stevia extract in water under specific temperature conditions to create a concentrated solution. This concentrated solution has much higher solubility of the sweet glycosides compared to their crystalline forms. The concentrated solution can then be spray dried to obtain a highly soluble Stevia sweetener powder.

A method to produce a stable high-concentration solution of rebaudioside D, a natural sweetener from stevia, that doesn't reprecipitate over time. It involves dispersing the rebaudioside D in water at 40-100°C with high shear stirring and optionally using a defoaming agent like citric acid to reduce foam.

Sweeteners that use novel steviol glycosides to improve solubility and taste compared to existing stevia sweeteners. The glycosides are derived from the stevia plant and can be produced using fermentation. These glycosides have higher molecular weights and branched sugar chains that enhance solubility of other glycosides. They can be combined with other steviol glycosides like rebaudioside M and D to create sweeteners for foods, drinks, etc.
