AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The sweetener composition achieves enhanced sweetness, potentially up to 300% more than control compositions, with reduced bitterness and lower caloric value, suitable for various consumable products like food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

Problems solved by technology

Excess sugar intake can pose several health problems.
Artificial sweeteners have been used to reduce dietary sugar content, but they are not ideal sugar substitutes due to their after taste, absence of energy provided by sugars, and other health concerns.
Sweetener polyols can offer a reduced calorie load and varying sweetness as compared to sweetener carbohydrates, but the cost of some sweetener polyols can be high.
These artificially synthesized molecules do not taste sweet but can significantly modulate the perception of sweetness for sucrose and other sweeteners; however, they can be limited in strength and selectivity and have so far been tested on limited products.

Formation of a Sweetener Composition Using Silicate and Ion Exchange Resin

[0067]A) 1% silica weight / weight: A stock solution is prepared by adding 2.45 grams of an aqueous solution of sodium silicate (Sigma Aldrich, 26.5% SiO2, 10.6% Na2O, weight / weight) to 100 grams of an aqueous sucrose solution (65% weight / weight). The solutions are mixed thoroughly to ensure complete mixing. To a portion of the stock solution (20.4 gram) are added 5.0 grams of a strong acid ion exchange resin (Purolite SST C60H, total capacity 4 eq / 1 kg). The resulting suspension is stirred gently so as not to harm the resin beads. The pH is monitored for 35 minutes (pH=9) and 5.0 additional grams of the strong acid ion exchange resin (Purolite SST C60H, total capacity 4 eq / 1 kg) are added. After an additional 20 minutes, the pH of the solution reaches 7, and the mixture is filtered to remove the resin. The remaining filtrate liquid, 1A, is isolated. Initial taste test indicates slight sweetness. A portion of 1A...

Formation of a Sweetener Composition Using Different Percentages of Silicate and Ion Exchange Resin with Sonication

[0068]65% sucrose solution is prepared by dissolving sucrose in water. Sodium silicate is added to the sucrose solution in appropriate amounts to obtain desired silica percentage. 1.5 equivalents of Dowex 88(H) resin are added. Samples are prepared with or without sonication during ion exchange at 40° C. Final pH of about 8.5 is obtained.
