[0002] The present invention relates generally to crystalline forms and amorphous Rebaudioside X and methods of preparing the same. The present invention also relates to Rebaudioside X complexes and methods of preparing the same. Certain forms of Rebaudioside X and the Rebaudioside X complexes are advantageous compared to other forms of Rebaudioside X because of improved aqueous solubility. The present invention also encompasses sweetener compositions and sweetened compositions comprising amorphous Rebaudioside X and Rebaudioside X complexes in addition to methods for preparing the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Stevia is the common name for Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), a perennial shrub of the Asteracae (Compositae) family native to Brazil and Paraguay. The plant's leaves, the aqueous extract of the leave...
