20150064117 | NOVEL POLYMORPHS OF REBAUDIOSIDE C AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME - Embodiments of this invention encompass a method for producing and purifying rebaudioside C. In particular, this invention relates to a method for purifying rebaudioside C compositions to obtain a substantially pure rebaudioside C product using one or more crystallization steps. Resulting polymorphic forms of rebaudioside C, substantially pure rebaudioside C compositions and their uses are disclosed. | 03-05-2015 |
20140093633 | REBAUDIOSIDE C AND ITS STEREOISOMERS AS NATURAL PRODUCT SWEETNESS ENHANCERS - The present invention is directed to the use of rebaudioside C, or a stereoisomer thereof, for enhancing the sweet taste of carbohydrate sweeteners, such as sucrose and fructose. The present invention is also directed to consumables comprising a combination of a carbohydrate sweetener and rebaudioside C, or a stereoisomer thereof. | 04-03-2014 |
20120230922 | Novel Polymorphs of Rebaudioside C and Methods for Making and Using the Same - Embodiments of this invention encompass a method for producing and purifying rebaudioside C. In particular, this invention relates to a method for purifying rebaudioside C compositions to obtain a substantially pure rebaudioside C product using one or more crystallization steps. Resulting polymorphic forms of rebaudioside C, substantially pure rebaudioside C compositions and their uses are disclosed. | 09-13-2012 |
20120164083 | Sweetness Enhancers Including Rebaudioside A or D - The present invention is directed to the use of rebaudioside A or rebaudioside D in combination with one or more compounds of Formula (I), or a stereoisomer thereof, wherein R | 06-28-2012 |
20100248988 | High Throughput Screening Assay for the TRPM5 Ion Channel - There exists a need in the art for high throughput screening assays that can identify compounds that specifically modulate the activity of fast-acting ion channels, such as TRPM5. Current methods suffer from a lack of sensitivity, low throughput, and are labor intensive. The claimed methods provide fluorescent assays with an optical readout that gives rapid readout of the results, has a high signal to noise background ratio, are easy to use, can be modified for automation and miniaturization, and provide verification that a compound specifically modulates TRPM5. | 09-30-2010 |
20100248987 | Screening Assay for Inhibitors of TRPA1 Activation by a Lower Alkyl Phenol - The invention relates an assay useful for screening and identifying compounds as modulators of lower alkyl phenol activation of TRPA1. Thymol, a lower alkyl phenol anti-infective and the active ingredient in, e.g., mouthwashes, is stringent and has an objectionable burning taste sensation. Thymol activates the transient receptor potential like ion channel TRPA1. The assay described and claimed herein involves measurement of activation of TRPA1 and enables the screening of compounds that inhibit lower alkyl phenol, or thymol activation of TRPA1. Inhibitors of thymol activation of TRPA1 can be used to prevent the objectionable taste of thymol in medical uses where taste limits acceptance. | 09-30-2010 |
20100197813 | Heterocyclic Compounds as Sweetener Enhancers - The present invention is directed to the use of a compound of Formula I | 08-05-2010 |
20090205581 | High-throughput operant sensory discrimination apparatus and method - Described herein are various apparatus and systems useful in sensory discrimination. Through the use of a multi-well sample plate, the high-throughput analysis apparatus and method allow for rapid sensory discrimination of a large number of samples. | 08-20-2009 |
20090041917 | Compositions and Methods of Producing a Salty Taste in Foods or Beverages - The present invention provides compositions containing bitterness inhibitors that reduce the bitter taste of KCl that is used in foods or beverages as a substitute for sodium chloride. The compositions contain as bitterness inhibitors taurine and 5′-adenosinic acid, and 5′-inosinic acid, and/or 5′-guanylic acid. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods of using these compositions and methods for preparing them. | 02-12-2009 |
20090035444 | Compositions and Methods for Producing Flavored Seasonings That Contain Reduced Quantities of Common Salt - The present invention provides flavored seasoning compositions containing low-salt substitutes that reduce the quantify of common salt used to flavor foods. More specifically, the compositions contain (a) a flavored seasoning mixture comprising flavoring agents, and flow agents, bulking agents, binding agents and/or preservatives, and (b) a salt substitute containing potassium chloride and bitterness inhibitors taurine and 5′-adenosinic acid, 5′-inosinic acid and/or 5′-guanylic acid. Furthermore, the present invention provides foods containing these compositions, methods of using these compositions and methods for preparing them. | 02-05-2009 |
20080306030 | Use of a TRPM5 Inhibitor to Regulate Insulin and GLP-1 Release - The present invention is directed to methods of enhancing insulin release, GLP-1 release, and insulin sensitivity, methods of increasing insulin gene expression, methods of decreasing gastric secretion and emptying and glucagons secretion, and methods of inhibiting food intake, and methods of treating diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance syndrome, hyperglycemia, and obesity comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of a TRPM5 inhibitor. | 12-11-2008 |
