Abstract
The present invention relates to edible orally delivered products, such as beverages, food products, confectioneries and chewing gum, which provide an enhanced perception of an active substance, such as a sweetener. More specifically, some embodiments provide potentiator compositions, which include at least one active substance and at least one sweetness modifier. The sweetness modifier may increase sucrose equivalence, increase the perception of sweet flavor upon consumption, decrease the perception of an aftertaste, or extend the time periods of sweetness onset, sweetness peak or sweetness decay.
Description
TASTE POTENTIATOR COMPOSITIONS IN ORAL DELIVERY SYS'I'EMS
FIELD
I'l1e present invention includes oral compositions that provide an enhanced perception of an active substance contained therein. In particular, the compositions may incltide an active substance, such as a sweetener or #iavor, and a sweet7iess nioditier.
The sweetfiess :nud:fier may increase tlie perception of sweetness upon consumption. The compositions may be incorporated into various types of edible orally delivered products, sticl-i as beverage.s, food products, confectionery or c..liewing g-tiri-i prod2icts.
BACKGROUND
There are five primary categor-ies of taste that are sensed by humans: sour, salty, sweet, bitter and Lir:?arni (savory or the taste of glutarnate). Tlle taste of a sul3stai-ice is sensed by taste receptor cells located in taste buds prirnarily on the sarface of the tongue and palate in the oral cavity. Each of the primary taste qualities is sensed by a speci#ac mccl ar~isn~. It is believed that sour arid salty tastes are detected by the passage of iorzs, hydrogen and sodium respectively, through the ion channels in taste bud cells. Tl=lis triggers a nerve impulse that is sensed in the brain as sour or salty. In contrast, it is l^ elieved that sweet, bitter and urr~~ami tastes are perceived by physical binding to receptors. Ir: general, sweet, bitter an.d umarri sensing taste cells have G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) on their surface.
These receptors are activated whe.ritl~ey bind to tastants, which iriitiates a serles of signaling events 2111 that tr:bger a r:e:-ve impalse that is sensed in the brair: as sweet, bitter or sav{,ry.
Over the past several years, there liave bee_, a nucnber of advarlces in research on taste perception. New taste receptor proteins liave beeri identified in rr;arrirnal;;, particularly two ta:nil:es of G-protein, coupled receptors j2R.s and T1R.s), which are believed to be involved ?5 in taste perception. Such. receptors are discussed in more detail in Interriational 1'ublicatiofi Nos. WO 02/064631 and WO 03/00, 1876. These ptiblications disclose that co-expression of cer-tairi :`lR receptors results in savory or sweet taste receptors that respond to 5avory or sweet taste stimuli, respec.t:vely, .
3 Recent advances in the understanding of taste perception have created itite:-est irl iclencifying new compounds for stilnulati.n.g these taste receptors. Ir:
particular, research efforts also have been directed to methods of identifyicag compounds that mav enhance the pri:narv taste perceptions, such as sweet or savory perceptions. The develor+-ment of substances that provide flavor enhancernent i.s of partictElar iritere;:t, and such substances are gene='ally re,ferred to as taste or f7avor enharlcers, or potentiators. These substances have been thought to coFatribute taste, aroma and feeling factors, as we:il as potentiate and suppress nther flavors. The activit-v of taste or flavor errliancers is ofte: referred to as synergistic because they erLbance or increase the perception of another :>ubstance.
One category of taste potentiators of particular interest includes compounds that 1 n v emhance sweetness. Although naturally-occurring carbohydrate sweeteners, sucli as sucrose, are the most widely used sweeteners, they ;uffer from the disadvantages of high cost and high caloric co:atent.

taste. Artificial sweeteners have different sweetness profiles from that of sucrose and often suffer froxn side effects such as delays in the onset of sweetness perception andlor unpleasant attertasteS.
Compounds are known which, whecl cotnbined witb, a sweetener, modify the taste of the sweetener. Such compounds are usually referred to as sweetness modifiers or potentiators. They may act to ei-diance or inhibit the perception of the sweetness of the sweetener or may affect the sweetness profile in sorne wav. For exa:n-ple, Canadian Patent No. i208966 discloses a broad range of aromatic co m-Daunds that are clairned as sweetness modifiers.
European Patent No. 0 132444 aFid U.S. Patent No. 4,627,987 describe 3-llydroxyberzzoic acid (3-14B) as a sweetness potentiator and exemplify its use with sucrose, aspartame and sacchar'LU to enhance sweetness wheii e:nployed at pH 2.0 to 5.5.

Despite progress in developing rnethods for identi#ying new taste potentiators, there is still a need for oral, particularly beverage and confectionery, compositions that include sweetness modifiers. It wolild be desirable to develop a sweetness modifier cornposition that allows the qnantit-Y of natural or artificial sweetener m ar= orally delivered prod-act to be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of production and the calonie content of the orally delivered prodtict, biat which avoids adverse effects on flavor. In particular, there is a need for aiiew sweetness modifier which is capable of increasing the sucrose equivalence of a sweetener. Moreover, there is a need for a sweetener composition that is capable of increasing the sucrose equivalence, as well as, modif~nng the perception of sweet flavor of the sweetener, the aftertaste of the sweetener, the 5weetness onset period of the sweetener, the sweetness peak period of the sweetener and/or the sweetness decay period of the sweetener.

Embodiments described herein provide compositions for oral delivery of ara active substance. Numercus ditferent active substances may be employed, such as, for example, flavors. ";'he cornpositiojis also may include a taste potentiato.r, z he taste potentiator may act in a svaiert;istic tnanlier when used in conj'unction with the active substance to erdiance the perception of the active substance during consumptiofi. Additionally, in some embodiments, the taste potentiator may be encapsulated to provide a controlled release profile, i.e., d.elayed or increased rate of release upon consumption. The taste potentiator accordingly may release over aii exte-nded period of time throughot3t the cofasumption of the prodiict into which the cocr-pesitir,n is incorporated, suc,, as, for example, chewing gum.
Potentiator Compositions Embodiments desc,rihed herein provide compositions that m-ay include at least one active substance, such as sweeteners and at least one taste potentiator composition, such as a sweetness modifier, The potentiator compositions may have controlled-release properties.
The taste potentiator(s) may work synernistically with the active substancel s; to enliance the perce;-+tiun of the active(s). For instafice, in soine embodirriea ts, the active substance rnay be a sweetener. Delivery of the sweetener in cornbitaation with at least one sweetness modifier may enhance the sweetness perception upon consumption ot<'the composition. Irx particular, the sweetness modifier(s) may function synergistically with th;, sweetener to enhance the sweetness perception, `The i~icorporation of the potentiator(s), therefore, allows for reduced arnou:st5 oi sweetener without cor:iprornisi~ic., the level of sweetness provided by the composition. Due to the caloi-ies contained in manv conventional sweeteners, such as sugar, these results may be highly desirable. Additiona.lly, there may be signit=icant cost saviasgs associated wi.th thc, reduction i.n sweetener annouF,ts used in the composition.
For purposes of sorne einbodiineiits described hereiii, "taste poter.tiator"
refers to substances that may enhance the perception oi an active substance during consumption o~ the composition. For purposes of some embodiments described herein, the terrn "enhance;"
means to irEtensify supplement, modify, modulate or potentiate. Some taste pote-,tiators may be referred to more specif:call.y by reference to the iype of active they enhance. For example, sweetener potentiators (or sweetraess modifiers) etibance the perception of a sweetener durinb consumption and f:avor potentiators er~hanc,e the perception off a flavor c3t3rina consumption.
These more specific exarrlples, however, are merely ;;ubsets of taste potentiatots and a:-e encompassed by the general term "taste potentiator" as used herein.
Taste potentiators ma-v have a synergistic effect when used in conjunction with an active, i.e., by enhancing the taste effects of t}le active substance sucf, tl?at the total ef- iec.t is greater than the sum of the taste effects of the individual ;:ubstar:ces alone. In addition, some taste potentiators do aot introduce a characteristic taste aFad,lor aroma perception of their own.
In some einbodiments, for instanee, the taste potentiator(s) may enhance the sour, sweet, bitter, salty or umar:i taste of a cornposition. The taste potentiator(s) also may :5 function to enhance the effects of a variety of other active substances, as discussed in more detail below.

Kokumi imparting compositions :nay be water-soluble, sliglatly water-soluble or insoluble in water.
As mentioned above, sweetness modifiers, which are a type of taste potentiator, enhance the perception of sweetness, The perception of sweetness i_nvol ves niuitiple va::ables two of wl.ic.la include taste and flavor. Taste and flavor are perceived by dif:erent rnechatiisrns for interpreting sweetness. More specifically, taste is perceived through action on the taste receptors in the oral cavity. These receptors determine the basic svreetness, sourness, bittern-ess and%or saltiness of a composition upon consur:.ption.
The flavor va=.-iable is perceived through an Ulfactory mechar,ism, Flavor is characteriz,ed by the fullfaes5 and roundness of the aroma of the composition upon consumption.
Some embodiments described herein include a sweetener and one or inc;re sweetness m.cdifiers to affect the sweet flavor and/r;r taste of the corrpesitioci. For ir:stance, in some embodiments, it may be desirabie to zkse less sweetener in a composition.
tIowever, decreasing the afr:eunt of sweetener in a composition may have a negative :rn.pact on the perceived sweetness, i.e. taste and flaver, of the composition. As such, additional components may be added to the ci;mposition to balance out the swee.tener profile and modify the perceived quality and/cr duratien of sweetness.
In some embadiments, a sweetness quality variable rr,av be used to modify the qtiality of perceived sweetness. Sweetr.ess quality variables niay be selected for use with a sweetener to alter the intensity of the sweetener, the f:.;llnehs of the sweetener or decrease the perceived bittezfiess of a sweetener. More specifically, useiul sureetness quality variables include "sweetness equivalence modifiers", "sweet flavor modifiers" and "aftertaste rncdifers."
Tlae perception of sweetness is often referred to in terms of sucrose equivalence.
Sucrose equivalence is a standard used to measure sweetness as compared to the baseline of sucrose. All sweeteners, including sugarless and high intensity sweeteners, are measured auainst the standard sweetener, sucrose. Accordingly, the sweetener profile and perceived level of sweetness should, ideally, be comparable te that c: sucrose. One method of measuring the perceived sweetness of a solation is by calculating :ts sucrose equivalent value (hereinafter "SEV"'). Sucrose equiva ence may be deined as the amount of sweetener required to impart the comparable level of sweetness perceived from a given amount of sucrose. 'I'he SEV are determined by comparing the saltiti nwith a stock sucrose solutiofl of 1Ãiiowci concentration. Concentrations of ssveeteners with sweetness intensities equivalent to a sucrose standard can alsc; be described as being "isosweet" to stEcrose. For example, aspartame is r ecocynized as being 2200 til-les sweeter than sucrose. Thus, 1 00 3-oil.liliters of a solution with 0,05 grams of aspartame is expected to be isosweet to lvO
milliliters of a solution with 10 ~ran~s of sucrose.
In so_ne embodiments, the use of sucrose equivalence modi ~.~ierh permits the use of less sweetener without tlie loss of the tatal sweetness perception. As used herein, the terni `:sucrese equivalence modifier" includes any ccn3pcnent that in-c.reases the perception of sweetness intensity of the sweetener composition. ".Sub.rese equivalence niodifiers" are a taste cc-imp;,tient of perceived sweetness. Thus, "sucrese equivalence modifiers" may be used to inc.rease the ;evel of sweetness perceived in comparison to a certain amount of sucrose..
As used h.ere:n, the terrn "sweet flavor modifier" includes any cerriponent tllat increases the sweet flavor, such as the fullness or roundness, of a sweetener composition.
"Sweet flavor modifiers" act on the olfactory receptors, and tlius, are a flavor corr:penent.
raftertaste means the perception of bitterness or undesirable flavor which lingers in the mouth. As used herein, the terpA "aftertaste modifier" may include any crsrr:positio-I which decreases tlie perception of bitterness or undesirable ilavor when added to a sweetener composition. Thus, "aftertaste modifiers" are taste components.
I-n some embodir:ients, a temporal profile variable may be used to modify the dtiration of perceived sweetness. Temporal profile variables involve botli taste and flavor components. Tecr:poral profile variables may alter the onset per:od ofthe perceived sweetness, peak period of the perceived sweettiess andlcr decay period of the perceived sweetness. By altering such time periods, the sweetness profile can be m.edified to smooth out any peaks in the profile and create a more gradual sweetiiess perception over time.
As used herein, t}ie te.rrn "sweetness onset period moMer" includes any coznponent that extends or delays the initiation of the onset time of sweetness perception. "Sweetness onset period niodifiers" also includes any coinponem that shortens or hastelis the termination of the onset time of sweetness peacepti0Y1 or any cotrt,poneiit that maifitairis or leaves unchanged the onset time of sweetness. "Sweetness onset period rrod.fflers"
are both taste and flavor components of sweetness.
As used herein, the temi "sweetness peak period modifier" iiicludes atiy component tliat extends the leiigth or duration of tlae peak of sweetness perception.
"Sweetness peak period niod:fiers" also incl~rdes any cocnponent that shortens or hastens the terxnination of the peak time of sweetness perception or any component that maintains or :eaves taT:cl~a nged the peak time of sweetness. "Sweetness peak pe.riod Fa odif:ers" have taste and flavor coniponents of sweetness.
As used herein, the term "svreetness decay period modifier" includes any cosnponent that extends the time period prior to the clecli3le of sweetness perception.
"Sweetness decay period modifiers" also incl2ides any component that shortens or hastens the te:m ination of the decay time of sweetness perception or any cotnponent that :naintains or leaves unchanged the decay tirne nf sweetness. "Sweetness decay period modifiers" have taste and flavor components of sweetness.
In some e-nbodiments, a Sweetener composition may include a sweetener and a sucrose eqnivalence rnodiffier. In some embodiments, any one or m ore of the sweetness Ãiiiality variables or temporal profile variables may be uomb:ned with the sweetener and sucrose equivalence modifier to achieve the desired perception of sweetness over time.

Any of the above-listed taste potentiators may be used alone or in combinatior:.
Some err-bodi.zn.ents, for instance, snay include ttivo or rrm.ore taste potentiators that act syneraistica,liy with one another. For instance, in some embodiments, a sweetness modifier composition :ay be provided, which ine.lt3des two or more sweetness modifiers that act synergistically with one another. Tlse sweetness rnodif:er composition may enhance the sweetness of products into wliieli it is incorporated by reducing the acr:ount of sucrose needed to provide a sweetness intensity equivalent to sucrose. The sweetness enhancing effect of the coi-nbinatioFa of sweetness modifiers may be greater than the effect of either compound used individual4_v.
The sweetness tnodifaer coinposition may contair: a fui-ther sweetiiess modifier. :~or instance, 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (3,4-DI-IB) or its comestible salt may be employed.
Comestible salts of 3,4-DHB incltide acid (:.e, carboxylate) salts aradlor hydroxylate salts, especially sodiuni, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and ammonium salts and the like.
The salts niay be prelo:-med or formed in the foodst7uff by reaction with typical buffering agents, such as sodi,um phosphate, Potassi.um citrate, sodium acetate, ca;cium phosphate (e.g. mono-and tficalcium pLosphates; and tl~e like which are also nUrrnally employed in foodstuffs to provide the desired afl.
The taste properties and qualities of these salts may perfor-n better ia:
soine systerns than ~,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid itself. The fi-ee acid inay have some ac.idic and slightly astningent characteristics in sotne systenis.
The sodiun, and potassium salts may be less sour and may be more tasteful with a cleaner taste overall as compared with the free acid. Salts of 3,4-DHB easily can be prepared flom 3,4-dihydroxyl;enzoic acid by neLEtralizing a concentrated aqueous solution thereof with 2 5 an appropriate base (for instance sodia-n hydroxide to prepare 3,4-f)f-iB.Na), crystallizing the, formed salt (for instance by cooling) and collecting and drying the crystals after removal of the solvent and appropriate washing.
Ir: some err_bodimerits, the sweetness modi:aer composition may be provided as a pre-3 f1 blended powder or liquid, which may be added to another composition, whereas in other e.:nbod::nents, the individual components of the sweetness nioditier composition may be added to another composition as ir:divitiual ingrc.die;nts.

Tn sorz.e enlbodiments, it ma-v be desirable to control the release rate of the taste potentiator( 'sj from the compositions, as well as the overall release profile of the conipositiotis ther:iselves. Different release rates may be desired depending on the type of final product in which the composition is being incoipcrated and the coiisumptioai t:.ale thereof. For instance, chewing gu-m products may have different chew profiles, ranging anywhere frofn about 15 to ahoijt 120 minutes. Depending upon the chewing gum selected, different release rates will be desired. Other confectionery forr:iats, such as hard candy, including nougats, caramels, frappes and taffies, also may have different release rates.
In some embodiments, the release rate may he based on the solubility of the taste potentiator(sj i awater. Selection of a specific solubility may be used to control the release profile of the taste potentiator(s), as well as the overall composition. More specificallyr, taste potentiators have varying solubilities in water. Although some of these componerits are water-bo'uble, i.e., capable of being substantially or completely dissolvable in water, others exhihit poor or no solubility in water. In some embodiments, for instance, it may be desirable to select one or niore taste potentiators that have low vaater-solubility ifa combination with an active known to exhibit poor soluhility in water. The hiW iiy insoluble taste potentiator thereby may last throucrhout consuinptiors of the composition as the a.ctive substance also slowly releases therefrorn. Alte::aatively, a relatively highly water-soluble l3otentiator nlay be paired with a relatively highly water-soluble active substance. In both of these instances, the taste potentiator and active substance may be selected based on solulsilitie::
such that their release profiles are similar or overlap.
In other embodiir ents; :or example, it may be desiral?le to select several taste potentiators that have different solubilities in water such that the potentiators may release sequentially from the composition, PUother example may include multiple seG;uentially releasing taste potentiators with intiltiple active substances also havi~ag different soll~bihties in `vater. Numerous other cornb inat:or:s of taste potentiators havi~ig differelit solubilities also may hc used to ,-+rovide different release profiles for the compositions. L-i view thereof, the solubility of the taste potentiator(s), as well as the combination thereof with the active(s), may be used to control and tailor the release profile of the overall ccm,positior:, For ;ourposes of soine, embodiments described herein, therefore, the tec-m "6t,ontrolled-release," means that the duration or manner of'release is managed or rrlodified tcs some degree '?4 to provide a desired release profile. Moree spezit~cally~s for example, ~;ontro:led-release includes at least the following release profiles: delayed onset of release;
pillsed release;
gradual release; high initial release; sustained release; sequential release;
and co:nbirlatior_.s thereof.
~
'Taste potentiators and active stibstances having differeFat solljbilities andlor release profiles may be combicied in numerous different ernbodi:nerits to provide eotnpositior:s had>i.pg many different overall release prE,tales. For example, one or more taste poter_tiators havitig any of the following release profiles may be dombia,e.d in any rliar~:ner with one or cnore active substances having any of the, following release profiles: delayed onset of release ("DOR"); pulsed release ("PR"); gradual release ("GR"); hiRh itiitial release ("HIR"); and sastained release ("SI1R"). Moreover, other techniques of impartinr-l these, as well as other e.ontrolled-reiease protiles to taste potentiators and/or active stFbstanoes may be employed.
por mstanee, encapsulation techriiques, wliieh are discussed in more detail below, may be used. Additionally, taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s), that are not encapsulated (sometimes referred to as "free" components) may be combined with other forms of the components, such as encapsulated forrns, to tailor the release profile of the potent=:ator compositions. A sa3nplin.g of I~y~pothetical combinations is provided in Table 3 below, wherein 1';-1'3 represent differer:t taste potentiators and r-'~;-As represent differer:t active substances.

Irx particular, the sweetness modifier(s) may function synergistically with th;, sweetener to enhance the sweetness perception, `The i~icorporation of the potentiator(s), therefore, allows for reduced arnou:st5 oi sweetener without cor:iprornisi~ic., the level of sweetness provided by the composition. Due to the caloi-ies contained in manv conventional sweeteners, such as sugar, these results may be highly desirable. Additiona.lly, there may be signit=icant cost saviasgs associated wi.th thc, reduction i.n sweetener annouF,ts used in the composition.
For purposes of sorne einbodiineiits described hereiii, "taste poter.tiator"
refers to substances that may enhance the perception oi an active substance during consumption o~ the composition. For purposes of some embodiments described herein, the terrn "enhance;"
means to irEtensify supplement, modify, modulate or potentiate. Some taste pote-,tiators may be referred to more specif:call.y by reference to the iype of active they enhance. For example, sweetener potentiators (or sweetraess modifiers) etibance the perception of a sweetener durinb consumption and f:avor potentiators er~hanc,e the perception off a flavor c3t3rina consumption.
These more specific exarrlples, however, are merely ;;ubsets of taste potentiatots and a:-e encompassed by the general term "taste potentiator" as used herein.
Taste potentiators ma-v have a synergistic effect when used in conjunction with an active, i.e., by enhancing the taste effects of t}le active substance sucf, tl?at the total ef- iec.t is greater than the sum of the taste effects of the individual ;:ubstar:ces alone. In addition, some taste potentiators do aot introduce a characteristic taste aFad,lor aroma perception of their own.
In some einbodiments, for instanee, the taste potentiator(s) may enhance the sour, sweet, bitter, salty or umar:i taste of a cornposition. The taste potentiator(s) also may :5 function to enhance the effects of a variety of other active substances, as discussed in more detail below.
Any of a variety of substances that function as taste potentiators rr:ay be employed in the compositions described herein.

Kokumi imparting compositions :nay be water-soluble, sliglatly water-soluble or insoluble in water.
As mentioned above, sweetness modifiers, which are a type of taste potentiator, enhance the perception of sweetness, The perception of sweetness i_nvol ves niuitiple va::ables two of wl.ic.la include taste and flavor. Taste and flavor are perceived by dif:erent rnechatiisrns for interpreting sweetness. More specifically, taste is perceived through action on the taste receptors in the oral cavity. These receptors determine the basic svreetness, sourness, bittern-ess and%or saltiness of a composition upon consur:.ption.
The flavor va=.-iable is perceived through an Ulfactory mechar,ism, Flavor is characteriz,ed by the fullfaes5 and roundness of the aroma of the composition upon consumption.
Some embodiments described herein include a sweetener and one or inc;re sweetness m.cdifiers to affect the sweet flavor and/r;r taste of the corrpesitioci. For ir:stance, in some embodiments, it may be desirabie to zkse less sweetener in a composition.
tIowever, decreasing the afr:eunt of sweetener in a composition may have a negative :rn.pact on the perceived sweetness, i.e. taste and flaver, of the composition. As such, additional components may be added to the ci;mposition to balance out the swee.tener profile and modify the perceived quality and/cr duratien of sweetness.
In some embadiments, a sweetness quality variable rr,av be used to modify the qtiality of perceived sweetness. Sweetr.ess quality variables niay be selected for use with a sweetener to alter the intensity of the sweetener, the f:.;llnehs of the sweetener or decrease the perceived bittezfiess of a sweetener. More specifically, useiul sureetness quality variables include "sweetness equivalence modifiers", "sweet flavor modifiers" and "aftertaste rncdifers."
Tlae perception of sweetness is often referred to in terms of sucrose equivalence.
Sucrose equivalence is a standard used to measure sweetness as compared to the baseline of sucrose. All sweeteners, including sugarless and high intensity sweeteners, are measured auainst the standard sweetener, sucrose. Accordingly, the sweetener profile and perceived level of sweetness should, ideally, be comparable te that c: sucrose. One method of measuring the perceived sweetness of a solation is by calculating :ts sucrose equivalent value (hereinafter "SEV"'). Sucrose equiva ence may be deined as the amount of sweetener required to impart the comparable level of sweetness perceived from a given amount of sucrose. 'I'he SEV are determined by comparing the saltiti nwith a stock sucrose solutiofl of 1Ãiiowci concentration. Concentrations of ssveeteners with sweetness intensities equivalent to a sucrose standard can alsc; be described as being "isosweet" to stEcrose. For example, aspartame is r ecocynized as being 2200 til-les sweeter than sucrose. Thus, 1 00 3-oil.liliters of a solution with 0,05 grams of aspartame is expected to be isosweet to lvO
milliliters of a solution with 10 ~ran~s of sucrose.
In so_ne embodiments, the use of sucrose equivalence modi ~.~ierh permits the use of less sweetener without tlie loss of the tatal sweetness perception. As used herein, the terni `:sucrese equivalence modifier" includes any ccn3pcnent that in-c.reases the perception of sweetness intensity of the sweetener composition. ".Sub.rese equivalence niodifiers" are a taste cc-imp;,tient of perceived sweetness. Thus, "sucrese equivalence modifiers" may be used to inc.rease the ;evel of sweetness perceived in comparison to a certain amount of sucrose..
As used h.ere:n, the terrn "sweet flavor modifier" includes any cerriponent tllat increases the sweet flavor, such as the fullness or roundness, of a sweetener composition.
"Sweet flavor modifiers" act on the olfactory receptors, and tlius, are a flavor corr:penent.
raftertaste means the perception of bitterness or undesirable flavor which lingers in the mouth. As used herein, the terpA "aftertaste modifier" may include any crsrr:positio-I which decreases tlie perception of bitterness or undesirable ilavor when added to a sweetener composition. Thus, "aftertaste modifiers" are taste components.
I-n some embodir:ients, a temporal profile variable may be used to modify the dtiration of perceived sweetness. Temporal profile variables involve botli taste and flavor components. Tecr:poral profile variables may alter the onset per:od ofthe perceived sweetness, peak period of the perceived sweettiess andlcr decay period of the perceived sweetness. By altering such time periods, the sweetness profile can be m.edified to smooth out any peaks in the profile and create a more gradual sweetiiess perception over time.
As used herein, t}ie te.rrn "sweetness onset period moMer" includes any coznponent that extends or delays the initiation of the onset time of sweetness perception. "Sweetness onset period niodifiers" also includes any coinponem that shortens or hastelis the termination of the onset time of sweetness peacepti0Y1 or any cotrt,poneiit that maifitairis or leaves unchanged the onset time of sweetness. "Sweetness onset period rrod.fflers"
are both taste and flavor components of sweetness.
As used herein, the temi "sweetness peak period modifier" iiicludes atiy component tliat extends the leiigth or duration of tlae peak of sweetness perception.
"Sweetness peak period niod:fiers" also incl~rdes any cocnponent that shortens or hastens the terxnination of the peak time of sweetness perception or any component that maintains or :eaves taT:cl~a nged the peak time of sweetness. "Sweetness peak pe.riod Fa odif:ers" have taste and flavor coniponents of sweetness.
As used herein, the term "svreetness decay period modifier" includes any cosnponent that extends the time period prior to the clecli3le of sweetness perception.
"Sweetness decay period modifiers" also incl2ides any component that shortens or hastens the te:m ination of the decay time of sweetness perception or any cotnponent that :naintains or leaves unchanged the decay tirne nf sweetness. "Sweetness decay period modifiers" have taste and flavor components of sweetness.
In some e-nbodiments, a Sweetener composition may include a sweetener and a sucrose eqnivalence rnodiffier. In some embodiments, any one or m ore of the sweetness Ãiiiality variables or temporal profile variables may be uomb:ned with the sweetener and sucrose equivalence modifier to achieve the desired perception of sweetness over time.

Any of the above-listed taste potentiators may be used alone or in combinatior:.
Some err-bodi.zn.ents, for instance, snay include ttivo or rrm.ore taste potentiators that act syneraistica,liy with one another. For instance, in some embodiments, a sweetness modifier composition :ay be provided, which ine.lt3des two or more sweetness modifiers that act synergistically with one another. Tlse sweetness rnodif:er composition may enhance the sweetness of products into wliieli it is incorporated by reducing the acr:ount of sucrose needed to provide a sweetness intensity equivalent to sucrose. The sweetness enhancing effect of the coi-nbinatioFa of sweetness modifiers may be greater than the effect of either compound used individual4_v.
The sweetness tnodifaer coinposition may contair: a fui-ther sweetiiess modifier. :~or instance, 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (3,4-DI-IB) or its comestible salt may be employed.
Comestible salts of 3,4-DHB incltide acid (:.e, carboxylate) salts aradlor hydroxylate salts, especially sodiuni, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and ammonium salts and the like.
The salts niay be prelo:-med or formed in the foodst7uff by reaction with typical buffering agents, such as sodi,um phosphate, Potassi.um citrate, sodium acetate, ca;cium phosphate (e.g. mono-and tficalcium pLosphates; and tl~e like which are also nUrrnally employed in foodstuffs to provide the desired afl.
The taste properties and qualities of these salts may perfor-n better ia:
soine systerns than ~,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid itself. The fi-ee acid inay have some ac.idic and slightly astningent characteristics in sotne systenis.
The sodiun, and potassium salts may be less sour and may be more tasteful with a cleaner taste overall as compared with the free acid. Salts of 3,4-DHB easily can be prepared flom 3,4-dihydroxyl;enzoic acid by neLEtralizing a concentrated aqueous solution thereof with 2 5 an appropriate base (for instance sodia-n hydroxide to prepare 3,4-f)f-iB.Na), crystallizing the, formed salt (for instance by cooling) and collecting and drying the crystals after removal of the solvent and appropriate washing.
Ir: some err_bodimerits, the sweetness modi:aer composition may be provided as a pre-3 f1 blended powder or liquid, which may be added to another composition, whereas in other e.:nbod::nents, the individual components of the sweetness nioditier composition may be added to another composition as ir:divitiual ingrc.die;nts.

Tn sorz.e enlbodiments, it ma-v be desirable to control the release rate of the taste potentiator( 'sj from the compositions, as well as the overall release profile of the conipositiotis ther:iselves. Different release rates may be desired depending on the type of final product in which the composition is being incoipcrated and the coiisumptioai t:.ale thereof. For instance, chewing gu-m products may have different chew profiles, ranging anywhere frofn about 15 to ahoijt 120 minutes. Depending upon the chewing gum selected, different release rates will be desired. Other confectionery forr:iats, such as hard candy, including nougats, caramels, frappes and taffies, also may have different release rates.
In some embodiments, the release rate may he based on the solubility of the taste potentiator(sj i awater. Selection of a specific solubility may be used to control the release profile of the taste potentiator(s), as well as the overall composition. More specificallyr, taste potentiators have varying solubilities in water. Although some of these componerits are water-bo'uble, i.e., capable of being substantially or completely dissolvable in water, others exhihit poor or no solubility in water. In some embodiments, for instance, it may be desirable to select one or niore taste potentiators that have low vaater-solubility ifa combination with an active known to exhibit poor soluhility in water. The hiW iiy insoluble taste potentiator thereby may last throucrhout consuinptiors of the composition as the a.ctive substance also slowly releases therefrorn. Alte::aatively, a relatively highly water-soluble l3otentiator nlay be paired with a relatively highly water-soluble active substance. In both of these instances, the taste potentiator and active substance may be selected based on solulsilitie::
such that their release profiles are similar or overlap.
In other embodiir ents; :or example, it may be desiral?le to select several taste potentiators that have different solubilities in water such that the potentiators may release sequentially from the composition, PUother example may include multiple seG;uentially releasing taste potentiators with intiltiple active substances also havi~ag different soll~bihties in `vater. Numerous other cornb inat:or:s of taste potentiators havi~ig differelit solubilities also may hc used to ,-+rovide different release profiles for the compositions. L-i view thereof, the solubility of the taste potentiator(s), as well as the combination thereof with the active(s), may be used to control and tailor the release profile of the overall ccm,positior:, For ;ourposes of soine, embodiments described herein, therefore, the tec-m "6t,ontrolled-release," means that the duration or manner of'release is managed or rrlodified tcs some degree '?4 to provide a desired release profile. Moree spezit~cally~s for example, ~;ontro:led-release includes at least the following release profiles: delayed onset of release;
pillsed release;
gradual release; high initial release; sustained release; sequential release;
and co:nbirlatior_.s thereof.
~
'Taste potentiators and active stibstances having differeFat solljbilities andlor release profiles may be combicied in numerous different ernbodi:nerits to provide eotnpositior:s had>i.pg many different overall release prE,tales. For example, one or more taste poter_tiators havitig any of the following release profiles may be dombia,e.d in any rliar~:ner with one or cnore active substances having any of the, following release profiles: delayed onset of release ("DOR"); pulsed release ("PR"); gradual release ("GR"); hiRh itiitial release ("HIR"); and sastained release ("SI1R"). Moreover, other techniques of impartinr-l these, as well as other e.ontrolled-reiease protiles to taste potentiators and/or active stFbstanoes may be employed.
por mstanee, encapsulation techriiques, wliieh are discussed in more detail below, may be used. Additionally, taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s), that are not encapsulated (sometimes referred to as "free" components) may be combined with other forms of the components, such as encapsulated forrns, to tailor the release profile of the potent=:ator compositions. A sa3nplin.g of I~y~pothetical combinations is provided in Table 3 below, wherein 1';-1'3 represent differer:t taste potentiators and r-'~;-As represent differer:t active substances.

d - ---------------------------23 Controlled-release properties also may be icr.parted to the compositions described herein in other marir:ers, sL:ch as, for exarnple, by encap4ulation techniques, as mentioned above. Encapsulation may be used to impart any of the various release profiles discussed above. In some embodiments, the taste poten.tiator(s) and/or active substance(s) may be encapsulated to control the rate of release of the potentiator a:adior active from the composition. For example, in some embodiments, 3-IIB and/or 2,4-I?p1B may be used in their encapsulated formh.
For instance, some embodim.ents may mclude at least one encapsulated taste potentiato:- a:id at least one unencapsulated active, i.e., in its free for:n.
Other embodiments may include at least one unencapsulated taste potentiator arld at least one encapsulated active substance. Further, in some embodiments, both the taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s) may be encapsnlated. In such embodiments, the taste potentiator(s) and active sz4bstarices' naay be encapsulated toLfether or separately. in enibodimelits in which the taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s) are encapsulated separately, the m.aterial used to encapsulate the components may be the same or different. Furthern-:ore, in any of these embodii-nents, more, than one material may be used to encapsulate the taste potentiator(s ) or the active substance(s).
In any of the embodiments rnentioned above, the encapsulated for3-n of the taste potentiator(s) or active substance(s) may be used in cornhination with an amount of the same component in its free, i.e., iinencapsulated, form. By using both the free component and the encapsulated compotient, the enhanced perception of the active rnay be provided over a longer period of time and/or perception of the active by a consurner may be improved. For instance, some ei-nbodiments may inchide a taste potentiator that is encapsulated in combination with an amount of the sanne taste potentiator in its unencapsulated form.
Alternatively, the unencapsulated ta.ste potentiator could be a different taste potentiator from ¾he potentiator that is enc.ap5ulated. Thereby, a mixture Lftwo different taste potentiators may be, included in some enlhodinients, one of wh:ch is encapsulated and the other in its free form. These variations also may be employed with respect to the active substance(s).
Encapsulation may be effected by dispersion of the components, spray drv-ing, spray coating, fluidized bed drying, absorption, adsorption, coacervation, complexation, or any otller standard technique. Ir: genera:, the taste potentiator(s f and/or active snbstancesis) may be encapsu:ated by an encapsu;ant. For pu.-poses of sonne embodiments described hcrein, the term "en.capsulant" refers to a materiai that can fully or partially coat or enrobe another substance. Encapsulation is also meant to ir:clt3de adsorption of a substance onto another substance and the formatior of agglomerates or conglomerates between tu=o substances.
Any matel-lal conventionally used as an er,capsulant in edible products may be employed, In some embodiments, for instance, it may be desirable to use an en.capsulant that delays the release of the taste potentiator(s), such as, for example, a lIydrophobic encapsulant.
In contrast, in other embodiments, it rriay be desirable to increase the rate of release by usi~ic-I
an enc.apsulant such as, for example, a hydrophilic znate:-ial. Moreover, more than one encapsu.laiit may be tised. For example, a taste potentiator or an active substance may be eilcapsu`:ated by a mixture of two or inore encapsulants to tailor the rate of release.
It rs believed that taste potentiators can act in corzluiictiori with active substances to eriliance their activity. In some embodiments, therefore, it may be desirable to control tbe release of the ~.~otentiator(s) such that it substantially coincides with tl:at of the active substance(s) included in the composition. As discussed above, sowie taste potentiators have ra~id release rates, whereas other taste potentiators have slower release rates. Meanwhile, sonie active substances have rapid release rates, whereas others have slower release rates. In sonae embodiments, the material used to encapsulate the taste potentiator(s) may be sele;cted to delay or increase the release rate of the l;otentiator(s) based on the release profiles of both 2~1 the potentiator(s) and active substance(s) selected for use together in the composition.
More specifically, in some embodimefits, the active substance(s) contained in.
the composition niay }iave a slower release protile than the taste potentiator(s) selected for use in the same composition. It may be desirable, therefore, to delay the release of the taste 25 Dotentiator(s) from the coinposition such that it releases substantially in c,olljunction with the active(s). The corresponding release prolle may increase the effectiveness of the taste :.}otentiator(s) in enhancing the perception of the active(s) throughout corisucnption.
Suitable encapsulants for use in delayed release embodiments include, but are not 3l) limited to, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene, crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly=:;Ieth.ylrn.ethacrylate, polylactidacid, polyliydroxyalkanoates, ethylcellulo.se, poly-vinyl acetatephthalate, methaci-ylicat.id-c.o-methylniethacrylate and combinations thereof.
In some e.m`oodiments, as nientioned above, the taste pote?itiator(s) may be water-solubie. For example, the f'ollowing taste potentiators are water-soluble:
neoliesperidin dihydrochalcone, chloroge::ic acid, alapy:-idaine, cyn:arin, :~iraculi:~, glupyridaine, 13yaidinii3m betai con.pounds, glutai~:ates, such as monosodium glutamate a.nd monopotassium glutamate, neotarne, thaumatin, tagatose; trehalose, salts, such as sodiuxr chloride, rrionoammoniurn glycyrr;,izinate, vanilla extract (in ethyl alcohol), water-soluble sugar acids, potassium chloride, sodium acid ;.ulfate, water-soluble hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, water-soluble hydrolyzed ar:ir-ial proteins, water-soluble yeast extracts, adenosin-e moasophosplzate (.AdVH'), glutathione, water-soluble nucleotides, such as inosine monol.~hospi,ate, disodiufn inosinate, xar:tliosine monop:aosA-+lsate, guanylate monophosphate, alapyridaine iN-(1-carbox-_yethyl)-6-(hydroxymethylll;yridinium-3-ol inner salt, sugar beet extract (alcoholic extract), sugarcane leaf essence (alc.oholic cxtract), curculin, strogin, inabinliin, g}mnemic acid, monohydroxybesizoic acids, sucli as 2-hydroxyberizoic acid (2-HB), 3-liydroxybefizoic acid (3-HB), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB), dihydroxybetizcic acids, such as 2,3-dihydroxyl;enzoic acid {?,3-D~-~~), ~,4 dilZydre~xyl~enzc~ic acid (2,4 l~I~l~) 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHf3), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,6-DHf#), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DH3), 3,5-dihydroxybe.nzoic acid (.3,5--DHB), trihydroxybenzoic aci~ls, such as 2,3,4-tril~ydroxybe~~oic acid (2,3,4-TH~3:}, 2,4,6-~tril~ydroxyber:zoic acid (2,4,6-THB), 3,4,5-tri.hydroxybenzoic acid (3,4,5-THB), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, hydroxyisocaproic acid, 3-hydrox}rcimlamic acid, atninotsenzoic acids, such as, a-aminobejiz,oic aci(i (3-AB), 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-AB), hydroxydeoxybenzoins, .nethoxysalicylic acids (MS), methoxybenzoic acids (B), p-a:aisic acids and coml.-~irlations thereof. Due to tlieir water-solability, stich taste potentiators may tend to release rapidly from the compositions into which they are incorporated. As such, in some embodiments, water-soluble taste potentiators may be ericapsulated by an encapsulant that delays the release of the pctentiator(s), as provided above.
In other embodiments, it may be desirable to iticrease the release of the taste potentiator(s) from the compositio.n. For tnstance, t'lle taste hotentiator(s) included in the composition may have a slower release rate than the active substance(sl selected for use i,~
comb:nation therewith. '7'his difference in release rates may reduce the effectiveness of the taste potentiator(s). Accordi_n.gly, such taste potentiators may be encapsulated with an encapsulant that ifIcreases the rate of tlie potentiator's release. Thereby, the release of the Potentiator;.s? and the active(s) :-nav substantially coincide during consumptior.
Suitable encapsulants for use :n ilicreased release embodiments ine.:ude, but are r-ot limited to, cyclodextrins, sugar alcohols, starch, gum arabic, poly~~inylaicohol, polyacrylic acid, ge:atfn, guar gum, fruc;.ose and ;,ombariations thereof.
ln some enabod:ments, as rnentioned above, the taste potentiator(s) may be substantially or completely insoluble in water. For example, the following ta,ste potentiators are substantially or coinpletely water-insoluble: citnis aurantium, vanilla oleore:sin, water irsoluble sugar acids, water insoluble hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, water insoluble hydrolyzed anima1 proteins, water insoluble yeast extracts, insoluble nucleotides, sugarcane leaf essence and ;;ombia,ations thereof. Due to their poor solubil=:t~y in water, such taste potentiators may tend to release slowly =rom the compositions. As such, in some enibodiments, substantial;y or completely water- insolub;e taste potentiators may be encapsulated by an encapsulant that increases the release of the potentiator(s), as provided above.
In accordance with the above, the er:c.apsulated taste potentiator may ificlude a taste potentiator and an encapsulant. The encapsulant may be seleuted based upon the desired release pr:.~.ile of the taste potentiator. In, some embodiments, the taste potentiator(s ) may be present in amounts of about 0.01`- n to about 101 % by weight of the composition, more 2 a speci:fc.ally about 0. 1% to about 2% by weight of the composition.
In some embodiments, the eneap:;ulant may be present in. amounts of about 1 %
to about 95% by weight of the composition, niore specifically about 5% to about 30% by weight of the cornposition.
hi sonie ernbodirnents, the encapsulated substance, i.e. encapsulated taste potentiator( s) or active(s), may have a high tensile strength, such as at least about 59500 psi.
More specifically, the tensile strengtli may be about 6,5500 psi to about 200,000 psi. Such tensile strengths may be suitable for controlling the release of the taste poterttiatorls) and/or active substance(s) in a consistent rnaruier over ar extended period of time.

The active substancel's; may be any coniponent for which the perc.eptiotl is enhanced ir: sorne nzanner by the presence of one or :vore taste potentiators. Suitable active substances include, but are not limited to, comlpounds that provide flavor, sweetness, tartness, ui-nami, kokurni, savory, saltiness, cooling, warrritl= or tingling.

d - ---------------------------23 Controlled-release properties also may be icr.parted to the compositions described herein in other marir:ers, sL:ch as, for exarnple, by encap4ulation techniques, as mentioned above. Encapsulation may be used to impart any of the various release profiles discussed above. In some embodiments, the taste poten.tiator(s) and/or active substance(s) may be encapsulated to control the rate of release of the potentiator a:adior active from the composition. For example, in some embodiments, 3-IIB and/or 2,4-I?p1B may be used in their encapsulated formh.
For instance, some embodim.ents may mclude at least one encapsulated taste potentiato:- a:id at least one unencapsulated active, i.e., in its free for:n.
Other embodiments may include at least one unencapsulated taste potentiator arld at least one encapsulated active substance. Further, in some embodiments, both the taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s) may be encapsnlated. In such embodiments, the taste potentiator(s) and active sz4bstarices' naay be encapsulated toLfether or separately. in enibodimelits in which the taste potentiator(s) and active substance(s) are encapsulated separately, the m.aterial used to encapsulate the components may be the same or different. Furthern-:ore, in any of these embodii-nents, more, than one material may be used to encapsulate the taste potentiator(s ) or the active substance(s).
In any of the embodiments rnentioned above, the encapsulated for3-n of the taste potentiator(s) or active substance(s) may be used in cornhination with an amount of the same component in its free, i.e., iinencapsulated, form. By using both the free component and the encapsulated compotient, the enhanced perception of the active rnay be provided over a longer period of time and/or perception of the active by a consurner may be improved. For instance, some ei-nbodiments may inchide a taste potentiator that is encapsulated in combination with an amount of the sanne taste potentiator in its unencapsulated form.
Alternatively, the unencapsulated ta.ste potentiator could be a different taste potentiator from ¾he potentiator that is enc.ap5ulated. Thereby, a mixture Lftwo different taste potentiators may be, included in some enlhodinients, one of wh:ch is encapsulated and the other in its free form. These variations also may be employed with respect to the active substance(s).
Encapsulation may be effected by dispersion of the components, spray drv-ing, spray coating, fluidized bed drying, absorption, adsorption, coacervation, complexation, or any otller standard technique. Ir: genera:, the taste potentiator(s f and/or active snbstancesis) may be encapsu:ated by an encapsu;ant. For pu.-poses of sonne embodiments described hcrein, the term "en.capsulant" refers to a materiai that can fully or partially coat or enrobe another substance. Encapsulation is also meant to ir:clt3de adsorption of a substance onto another substance and the formatior of agglomerates or conglomerates between tu=o substances.
Any matel-lal conventionally used as an er,capsulant in edible products may be employed, In some embodiments, for instance, it may be desirable to use an en.capsulant that delays the release of the taste potentiator(s), such as, for example, a lIydrophobic encapsulant.
In contrast, in other embodiments, it rriay be desirable to increase the rate of release by usi~ic-I
an enc.apsulant such as, for example, a hydrophilic znate:-ial. Moreover, more than one encapsu.laiit may be tised. For example, a taste potentiator or an active substance may be eilcapsu`:ated by a mixture of two or inore encapsulants to tailor the rate of release.
It rs believed that taste potentiators can act in corzluiictiori with active substances to eriliance their activity. In some embodiments, therefore, it may be desirable to control tbe release of the ~.~otentiator(s) such that it substantially coincides with tl:at of the active substance(s) included in the composition. As discussed above, sowie taste potentiators have ra~id release rates, whereas other taste potentiators have slower release rates. Meanwhile, sonie active substances have rapid release rates, whereas others have slower release rates. In sonae embodiments, the material used to encapsulate the taste potentiator(s) may be sele;cted to delay or increase the release rate of the l;otentiator(s) based on the release profiles of both 2~1 the potentiator(s) and active substance(s) selected for use together in the composition.
More specifically, in some embodimefits, the active substance(s) contained in.
the composition niay }iave a slower release protile than the taste potentiator(s) selected for use in the same composition. It may be desirable, therefore, to delay the release of the taste 25 Dotentiator(s) from the coinposition such that it releases substantially in c,olljunction with the active(s). The corresponding release prolle may increase the effectiveness of the taste :.}otentiator(s) in enhancing the perception of the active(s) throughout corisucnption.
Suitable encapsulants for use in delayed release embodiments include, but are not 3l) limited to, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene, crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly=:;Ieth.ylrn.ethacrylate, polylactidacid, polyliydroxyalkanoates, ethylcellulo.se, poly-vinyl acetatephthalate, methaci-ylicat.id-c.o-methylniethacrylate and combinations thereof.
In some e.m`oodiments, as nientioned above, the taste pote?itiator(s) may be water-solubie. For example, the f'ollowing taste potentiators are water-soluble:
neoliesperidin dihydrochalcone, chloroge::ic acid, alapy:-idaine, cyn:arin, :~iraculi:~, glupyridaine, 13yaidinii3m betai con.pounds, glutai~:ates, such as monosodium glutamate a.nd monopotassium glutamate, neotarne, thaumatin, tagatose; trehalose, salts, such as sodiuxr chloride, rrionoammoniurn glycyrr;,izinate, vanilla extract (in ethyl alcohol), water-soluble sugar acids, potassium chloride, sodium acid ;.ulfate, water-soluble hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, water-soluble hydrolyzed ar:ir-ial proteins, water-soluble yeast extracts, adenosin-e moasophosplzate (.AdVH'), glutathione, water-soluble nucleotides, such as inosine monol.~hospi,ate, disodiufn inosinate, xar:tliosine monop:aosA-+lsate, guanylate monophosphate, alapyridaine iN-(1-carbox-_yethyl)-6-(hydroxymethylll;yridinium-3-ol inner salt, sugar beet extract (alcoholic extract), sugarcane leaf essence (alc.oholic cxtract), curculin, strogin, inabinliin, g}mnemic acid, monohydroxybesizoic acids, sucli as 2-hydroxyberizoic acid (2-HB), 3-liydroxybefizoic acid (3-HB), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB), dihydroxybetizcic acids, such as 2,3-dihydroxyl;enzoic acid {?,3-D~-~~), ~,4 dilZydre~xyl~enzc~ic acid (2,4 l~I~l~) 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHf3), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,6-DHf#), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DH3), 3,5-dihydroxybe.nzoic acid (.3,5--DHB), trihydroxybenzoic aci~ls, such as 2,3,4-tril~ydroxybe~~oic acid (2,3,4-TH~3:}, 2,4,6-~tril~ydroxyber:zoic acid (2,4,6-THB), 3,4,5-tri.hydroxybenzoic acid (3,4,5-THB), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, hydroxyisocaproic acid, 3-hydrox}rcimlamic acid, atninotsenzoic acids, such as, a-aminobejiz,oic aci(i (3-AB), 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-AB), hydroxydeoxybenzoins, .nethoxysalicylic acids (MS), methoxybenzoic acids (B), p-a:aisic acids and coml.-~irlations thereof. Due to tlieir water-solability, stich taste potentiators may tend to release rapidly from the compositions into which they are incorporated. As such, in some embodiments, water-soluble taste potentiators may be ericapsulated by an encapsulant that delays the release of the pctentiator(s), as provided above.
In other embodiments, it may be desirable to iticrease the release of the taste potentiator(s) from the compositio.n. For tnstance, t'lle taste hotentiator(s) included in the composition may have a slower release rate than the active substance(sl selected for use i,~
comb:nation therewith. '7'his difference in release rates may reduce the effectiveness of the taste potentiator(s). Accordi_n.gly, such taste potentiators may be encapsulated with an encapsulant that ifIcreases the rate of tlie potentiator's release. Thereby, the release of the Potentiator;.s? and the active(s) :-nav substantially coincide during consumptior.
Suitable encapsulants for use :n ilicreased release embodiments ine.:ude, but are r-ot limited to, cyclodextrins, sugar alcohols, starch, gum arabic, poly~~inylaicohol, polyacrylic acid, ge:atfn, guar gum, fruc;.ose and ;,ombariations thereof.
ln some enabod:ments, as rnentioned above, the taste potentiator(s) may be substantially or completely insoluble in water. For example, the following ta,ste potentiators are substantially or coinpletely water-insoluble: citnis aurantium, vanilla oleore:sin, water irsoluble sugar acids, water insoluble hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, water insoluble hydrolyzed anima1 proteins, water insoluble yeast extracts, insoluble nucleotides, sugarcane leaf essence and ;;ombia,ations thereof. Due to their poor solubil=:t~y in water, such taste potentiators may tend to release slowly =rom the compositions. As such, in some enibodiments, substantial;y or completely water- insolub;e taste potentiators may be encapsulated by an encapsulant that increases the release of the potentiator(s), as provided above.
In accordance with the above, the er:c.apsulated taste potentiator may ificlude a taste potentiator and an encapsulant. The encapsulant may be seleuted based upon the desired release pr:.~.ile of the taste potentiator. In, some embodiments, the taste potentiator(s ) may be present in amounts of about 0.01`- n to about 101 % by weight of the composition, more 2 a speci:fc.ally about 0. 1% to about 2% by weight of the composition.
In some embodiments, the eneap:;ulant may be present in. amounts of about 1 %
to about 95% by weight of the composition, niore specifically about 5% to about 30% by weight of the cornposition.
hi sonie ernbodirnents, the encapsulated substance, i.e. encapsulated taste potentiator( s) or active(s), may have a high tensile strength, such as at least about 59500 psi.
More specifically, the tensile strengtli may be about 6,5500 psi to about 200,000 psi. Such tensile strengths may be suitable for controlling the release of the taste poterttiatorls) and/or active substance(s) in a consistent rnaruier over ar extended period of time.

fn some embodiments, a mixture of at least one active substance and at least one taste potentiator is encapsulated, rather than encapsulating the taste potentiator or the active substance alone. Similar to above, the encapsulant may be selected to delay or increase the rate of release of the mixture of components. Any of the er:e.apsulants described above rnasr be en-iploved.
For example, in some embodiments, the aetive substance(s) may be at least one intense sweetener. The intense sweetener(s) may be inixed with at least one taste potentiator, which is selected to increase the sweet taste of the intense sweetener(s).
This mixture of components may then be encapsulated. Exai-nples of su.itab(e intense sweeteners incllFde, bi3t are not limited to, neotame, aspartame, fi,cesulfame-K, sucraiose, saccharin and combinations thereof.
In embodiments including an encapsuaated minture of actii=e(s) and pote ntiator(st, the active siibstance(s ) may be present in amounts of aboiit a io to about 95% o by weight of the coa:iposition, more specifically about 5% to about 30% by weight. The taste potentiator(s) maybe presecit Lin amounts of about 0.0 1% to about 12 ,!, by weight of the cornposition, more specifically about 0.1% to abozat 5% by weight. The encapsulant may be present in amounts of about i% to about 45a/, by, wei'ubt of tbe connposition, more speci#ically about 10% to about 60% by weight.
As mentioned above, some embod:rnents may include a mixture of at least one encapsulated taste potentiator and at ;east one taste potentiator in its free fo:-m, The encapsulated and uner:capsulated taste potentiators may be the same or di.ffe;e:.t. The encapsulated taste potentiatoriss may be encapsulated by any of the materiais described above. The mixture of encapsulated and unencapsulated taste potecitiator5 rriay be co:nbined with cne or more active substances to provide a potentiator composition.
Some other embodiments provide coanpositions that modi3late the activit-y of taste receptor cells in amamrnal. Such compositions fnay ificlude at least orie aetive substance afid at least one taste potentiator, as described above. These components may be encapsulated or r3nenca,-+sulated, also as described above. 'fhe taste potentiator(s) may modulate the activity of taste receptor cells upon cousutnptior: of the compositioti. More specifically, taste is percei~~ed tlirough sensory cells located ir the taste buds. Different signalin~ mechanisms sense the primary tastes of salty, sour, sweet, bitter and urriami. Eventually a nerve unpulse is triggered in the brain that is sensed as g3xe of these primary tastes.
Taste potefitiators function by rrlodulatmg the activity of taste receptor cells at some point in tliis taste signaling patliway. For instance, in soirae cases, taste potentiators rriay bind to taste receptors, such as, for exar3aple, sweet taste receptors, wh.ich daereby e xharEces tbe perce;ption of the sweet taste. In other e,:~bodiments, for example, taste potentiators may block taste receptors, such as, for example bitter receptors, wbich suppress tl;e perception of a bitter taste and thereby enhances the percept?ori of a sweet taste. Taste potentiator(s), therefore, modulate the activity of taste receptor ce'ls in manu-raals, which thereby enhances the perception of agiven taste. 'l'his activity znay eaih.anee the perception of an active Substanceco71ta1Tled in the composition w11erF coI1SurI1eG in ctSrE;E,x.nctioil wttlA a taste potentiator.

Upon consumption, the composition containing the active(s) and the taste patentiator(s) releases f:orn the confection and provides an enhanced perception of the active(s) contained therein.
For exaniple, iri some ernbodirnents, the active substance may be at least one sweetener, sach as, a sugar sweetener, sugarless bulk sweetener, intense sweetener or any combination thereof. In general, the active substance(s) may be present i_n a.moui3ts of about 0.0001 % to about 75% o by weight of the confectionerycornposition. In some embodiments, wtiic.l,, include actives other than intense sweeteners, the active substance(s,4 may be present in amounts of about 25 ,io to about ;'5% by weight of the confectionery composition. "f'he taste.
potentiator(s) rnay- be present in amounts of abo:at 0.01 % to about 10% bv vreigh+ of the confectionery camposition.
Some ernbodinients are directed to a cornestible in the forrn of a lozenge or candy, also co3Ta3ionlv refe3Ted to as confectioneries. Stich confectionery compositions may include ?3 a confectionery base including bulk sweeteners such as sugars and sugarless bulk sweeteners, or the like, or mixtzire.s thereof. BiLiElc sweeteners ge:ierally are present in amounts of about 0.05% to about 99% by weight of the composition.
A variety of traditional ingred:ents also may be included i:i the confectioneries in effective amounts stich as coloring agents, antioxidants, preservatives, sweeteners, and the like. Caloring agerrts may be used in anaounts effective to produce the desired calor, The colarim, a~ents rray include pigments which may be i:-corporated in a3no~.nts up to abotit 6%, bv we:g' t of the composition. For example, titaniunj dioxide may be incorporatgd in amounts up to about 2%, and preferably less than about 1 %, b; we:gl:t of the, c,a:nposition.
The colorar:ts rnay alsc include nat~.~ral food colors and dyes suitable for food, drug and cosmetic applicatioris. Tliese colorants are kiiown as F.D.& C. dyes and lakes. T'he traterials acceptable for the foregoing use;: are preferably water-soluble. Iilustrative nonlimiting examples include the indigoid dye known as F.D.& C. Blue No.2, which is the disodium salt o:' 5,5-indigotindisuafomic acid. Similarly, the dye k~nown as F.D.& C. G:-een .tto. l comprises a triphenylmetliane dye afid is the monosodium salt of 4-[4-(l*d-ethyl-p-sulfoniumbenzylam.i.no) diphenylmet,.ylene]-[1-(N-ethyl -N-p-s24lfotiiuniberf,zyl:)-delta-2 "--cyclohexadieneimine]. A fiili recitation of all F.D.& C. colorants and their corresponding chemical structures may be f'ot3nd ia the K.irk-C3tlsxner Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, ir: volume ~ at pages 857-884,lvhicl: text is incorporated herein by =.-eferencc.
Lulsricants also may be added in sorne embodiments to improve the smoothr?ess of the cornestil~le, suc~. as, for exar~iple hard candy ez~al~odi~aents: Smoothness also is a characteristic, that leads to an in.creased perception of hydration upon consumption. Suitable :ubricants include, but are not limited to, fats, oils, aloe vera, pectifi afid cofr:binations thereof.
Similarly, in some embodiments, the comestible may have smooth edges. In such e,bodiments, the coi,estible may liave any shape, such as square, circular or diamor,cl-210 shaped, however, the edges are rounded to provide a sy-:ooth comestible.
Another mar?ner of le~~di~g s3:nootl-uiess to the comestibles is to deposit the comestible composition into moulds during the manuaactur:ng process. Accordingly, :n some embodirrAents, the cor:iestible is deposited, as clesc:-i`oed in more detail below.
In some embodiments, the cozafectiorxery composition may Iftirthe.r i.n.clude a sweetener selected from Lo han guo, stevia, monatin and combinations thereof.
Otlier conventiofial additives kinown to one having ordirlary skill in the art also fnay be used in the confectionery compositions.
In some embodiments, confectionery compositions may be produced by batch processes. Such confections may be prepared using conventional apparatus such as fire cookers, cooki:ag extruders, andior vact:t:r:a cookers. In some einbodimefits, the bulk swc.eterier (sugar or sugar free; and a solvent (e.g., waterj, are combined in amixir g vessel to form a slun-y. I"lie sir;i-ry is heated to about 70 C to 120 C to dissolve any sweetener crystals or particles and to fo=.ni an aqueous solution. Once dissolved, heat and vacua:n are applied to cook the batePi aiid boil off water until a residual moisture of less than about 4% is achieved.
The batch clzar:ges from a crystalline to an amorphous, or glassy, phase. The potetitiator conaposition then may be admixed in the batch by rnec;;anical mixing operations, alo~ig with any other optional additives, su-ch as coloring agents, flavorants, and the like. The batch is then cooled to about 500C to 1 v C to attain a sefr i-solid or plastic-like consistencv.
The optimum mixing, requ:red to uniformly mix the actives, potentiators, and other additives during manufacturinv of hard confectionery is detemiined by= the tiW-.e needed to obtain a anif }rm distribution of the mateF:als. '*iornially, mixing times of from tuur to tecl rniciutes have been found to be acceptable. Once the candy mass lias been properly tempered, it may be cut into workable regions or forrtied into desired shapes having the correct weight and diniensions. A variety of forming tecliniques may be utilized dependi.Frg upon the shape and size of the final product desired. Once the desired shapes are fortned, cool air is applied to allow the comestibles to set tEniformly, after which they are wrapped and packaged.
Alternatively, various contir:uous cooking processes utilizing thin film evaporators and illjection ports for incorporation of ingredients including tlie potentiator compositions are knovJn in the art afid may be used as well.
The apparatus useful in accordance with some embodiments comprise cook:ng and mixiiig apparatus well Lnown in the confectiob:ery manufactu:-ing arts, and selection of specific apparatus will be apparecit to ofie skilled in the art.
Additionally, in some embodiments, various confeetione:~y configLirations with multiple re~ions may be employed. Th.ese configiaratior:s inay incl~.~de, btit are not li~nited to, liquid center-fill, powder center-fill, hard coated, soft coated, lamitiated, layered and enrobed.
In some embodiments, the potentiator composition may be included in one region or in 3IV' rnultipie regions of the product, Soft Confectionery Con-,-Dositions In some embodiments, the orally delivered product r:iav be in the forni of various soft confectionery format;. Soft confectionery formats rriav include, but are not limited to, nougat, caramel, taffy, gi3r~imies and jellies, ~
Soft confectionery compositions inav include a cflnfectionery base and any of the potentiator compositions de,scr:bed above, which i-na}r include at least one active substance such as a sweetener and at least one taste poten,tiator such as a sweetness modifier. The soft confectionery compositions als:, may include a 4rariety of optional additives, si3ch as any of the additives set forth above in the section describing confectionery compositions. Upon CC)nsllrl7ptl(3rh, the i;C3rfept3siteC)I'e ct?tltailllrlg the active(s) and the taste potentiator(s) releases from the soft confection a:id provides an en anced perception of the active(s) contained therein.
For example, in some embodiments, the active substance may be at IeaSt one sweetener, such as, a sugar sweetener, sugarless bulk sweetener, intense sweetener or any conibination tl=ereof. In general, the active st,bstaaice(s) may be ;-+resent in amounts of about 0.0001% to about 75% by weight of the soft confectiofiery composition. In some embodiments, which include actives other th.an intense sweeteners, the active substance(s) 'Lv may be preser:t in a3rao9ants of about 25% to about is`fo by weight of the soft confectionery composition. `f'he taste poteritiator(sj may be present in amot3nts of abotit 0.0 I {, to about 10% by weight of the soft confectior:e:-v c.ofnposition.
Some soft confectionery compositions inelaide nougat cozaipnsitions, which m.av 25 include two principal components, a h.igb-boiled candy and a frappe. By way of example, egg albumen or substitute thereof is combined with water and whiskecl to fo::n a light foam.

The first and second solubilities may be substantially siniilar or different and may be selected to provide a controlled-release profile to the chewing gum comif?osition. In partieular, the selected solub?lities may provide one of the following release profiles: sirr~u:taneo~zs release, sequential release os partiallv overlap;?ing 3i1 releabe.
Some embodiments extend to :etbods of prepanng a cl?ewing gum prodzEct. The products niay be prel?ared using standard techniques and equipment known to those skilled in the art. The apparatus useful in accordance with the embodiments descrabed herein includes mixin~ and heating apparatus Euell k~od~~n in the chewing gum rr~.anufact-arin; arts, and therefore the selection of the specific apparatus will be apparent to the artisan. For general chewincy gum preparation processes see U.S. Patent Nos. 4,271,197 to Hopkins et al, 4,352,822 to Cb.eruk-uri et al and 4,497,83-12 to Cherukuri et al, each of whic.b is ir:c,ofporated herein by reference in its entirety.
More speci:ically; in accordance with some embodiments, at least one encapsulant and at least one taste potentiator cnay be mixed to form a dispersion of the components. In particular, the encapsulant(s) may be rr:elted at elevated temperatures in a high shear rnixer.
The potentiator(s) may be added to the molten encapsulant and mixed under high shear to co:npletely disperse the components, The components may be mixed at elevated tetnperata.res of about 50y150 C. I'be resulting tnixttire of compoaients may be cooled. A
plurality of encapsulated taste potentiator particles subsequently may be formed from the mixture. The particles nnay be formed to an appropriate size as desired, generally from an average particle size range of about 50 ~im to abotit 800 m. `I'his may be accomplished by atiy suitable means suz.b as chopping, pulverizing, milling or grinding the particles.
Alternatively, the encapsulated particles may be prepared by spray drying methods.
More specifically, the encapsulant(s) n-iay be dissolved in water. Iin some em-bodiments, this solution may be prepared in an agitated vessel. Tbe taste pote:stiatc,r(s) then may be dispersed in the solution. The solution, or suspension, may be spray dried using a spray dryer fitted with an air atomized nozzle at elevated temperatures to torrn the encapsudated particles.
In other e,:;lboduments, the encapsulated particles may be prepared by any suitable spray coating a-nethQd as known in the art. One suitabie process is the Wurster process. This process prov ides ainethod f'or encap.salating individual particulate materials. First, the particles to be encapsulated are suspended in a fluidizing air stream, which provides a generally cyclic flow in front of a spray nozzle. The spray nozzle sprays a3i atomized flow of the coating solution, which may iiiclude the encapsulant(s) and a suitable solvent. The atomized coating solation collides witb the particles as they are carried away from : the nozzle t.^, provide a paro-icle coating with the coating solution. The temperature of the flu:dizi.n.g air strearn, vrlxich also ser-1,,es to suspend the particles to be coated, may be adjtisted to evaporate the solveiit sl:crtly after the coatinc, soluticn contacts tlre particles. Tli-is se:ves to solidify the coating on the particles, resulting in the desired encap3ulated particle.
In some embodi3laents, at least one actis'e substance may be corribined in the first step of tlie process along with the er:capsialant(s) and the taste potentiator(s) to form a dispersion of all the cornponerits. The active sul.-~stancel's) tliereb-v may be encapsulated with the taste potentiator(s) to form an encapsulated :nixture of the components.
Once the eticapsulated particles are obtained, they' may be added to a chewing gum compcsitior:. Suc}i encapsulated particles also rnay be added to confectioriery co:npositions to prepare any of the confectionery products described above. The chewirig gum compositiori may be prepared using standard techniques and equipment, as described above.
The encapsulated particles may be added to the chewing giim composition to enhance the perzeptioii of at least one active substance contained therein, which may be ary of the actives described above. Once the encapsulated particles are mixed into the chewing gum composition, individual chewing gum pieces rnay be fo=.-med using standard techniques known in the chewing gum art. For instance, chewing gu=.n pieces may be prepared in the form of a slab, pellet, stick, center-fill g-Lini, deposited, compressed z.liewing garn or any other suitable forryiat.
For instai7ce, center-fill chewing -nrr: em;.7odiments may include a center-fill regioli, which may be a liquid or powder or other solid, and a gum region. Some embodiments also may include an outer gl.::n coating or shell, v~'liich typicallv provides a cn:r:chiness to the p:ece when initially chewed. The outer coating or shell may at least partially s.arround the gum region. The potentiator compositions described above :nav be incorporated into any of the regions of the center-fill cliewing g~:r:x, i.e., the center-fill region, guir: region and/or o;iter coating of the gum. Alter:?ati6'ely, the taste pote?lti:, tor(s) mab' be incorporated into one region while the active substance(s) is incorporated into a different region of the center-fill gu.ni. 1_;pon consumption, the taste-potentiator(s) and active(s) may release:
frorsz the different regions and comhiiie as the gum is chewed. Ce.:ater-fill cliewing gtims and methods of preparing same are inore fiilly described in assigr:ee's co-pending U.S.

Unles:; otherwise indicated, juice as used can include fTuit or vegetable liqiiids containing a percentage of solids derived f:=otr: the fruit or vegetable, for example pulp seeds, skins, fibers, and the like, and pectin, which is nat-Lirally occtirring in the fruit or vegetable.
The amount of solids in the juice can be about 1 to about 75 wt%, specifica;ly about 5 to 25 about 60 wt%, more specif ically about 10' to about 45 wt`Yc, and yet more specifically about to about 30 wt% each based on the total weight of the juice. f-ligher concentrations of solids can be found in jmice concentrates, purees, and the lilÃe.
The amount of juice co:ponent present in the juice-based composition generally can 30 be aborEt 0. ] wte% to about 15 wt% based on the total weight of t'ne composition, specifically about 5 wta% to about 75 wt%, and more specifically about 110 wt% to about 50 wt a each based on the total weight of the composition. Amounts may vary depending ;apo~l whether the composition is a conc.entrate, or a ready to drink beverage, for exainple.
The recnaining components in the juice-based coniposition can be added water or othe;r suitable tiquid, a hweetening agent, a #la~~orir:g agefit, or other additi~=es as described herein.
Tlae juice-based composition can be non-carbonated or carbonated.
In orie embodiment, tbe.juice-based cnmposition is fortified with solubi;ize.d calcium ir the form of calcium carbonate, calciuni oxide, or calcium hydroxide, for exafnple. A food-rrade acid is added to the calciurp. fortified juice-based composition to improve the solubility of calc.it3rn. Exemplary food-grade acids suitable for use in the juice-based composition are further discussed herein, specificaiiy citric acid, malic acid, or a conibination comprising at least one of the foregoing food-grade acids.
In soine e3-nbodiments, the juice-based composition can be fornied from a f:ait or vegetable t3sing a hot break or cold break process. In both processes, the fruit or vegetable is triaceratted ared passed tm-oug}i conventional equipment to se~parate out seeds, skins and other undesired solids. The composition is then concentrated by conventional techniques. In hot break processes, the fruit or vegetubie is typically heated during maceration or i~r~ediate:y thereafter to deactivate enzymes that may degrade the produCt and decrease the viscosity of the product. In cold break processes, the fruit or vegetable typically are processed at lower 2) 0 ternperat-ures than hot break. A hot break process accordingly may provide a thicker product than those produced by a cold break process.
In one embodiment, the;:xice-based coniposition is pasteurized to destros, unwanted rnicroorgan,isms. Suitab;e pasterariz-ation conditions ofJ'uice-based coznpositions can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art withoat undue expez-i3raentation using the gaidelines provided. An exemplary pasteuriz.ation process to sterilize t}ie juice-based composition is by heating the coniposition to about 60 to about Si;'C: for about 6 to about 15 minutes in ai, aseptic enviro:flrsent.
In another embodiment, the juice-based composition is t:11ed in.to a beverage container ar:d then subjected to pastea:izat;o:a conditions. Alternatively, the co:npositiori is hot-filled into a beverage container at temperatures sufficient to sterilize the composition in the container.
In anotber embodiment, the jaice-based composition can contain a preservative allowing the composition to be cold-filled into a beverage container without the need for pasteurization. Specifically, tlie preservatives can be added to lower th;, pH
level of the beverage to pH of about 3 to about 4.5. Suitable preservatives are discussed in detail berein.
:`ylilk-based compositions:
Milk-based compositions generally contain a dairy component which can contaiza varying amounts of milk proteins (e.g., casein, whey protein, and the like), fats, lactose, and water. Exe3nplary dairy components include yogart, cream, whole milk, low or reduced fat rnilk, skim milk, milk solids, condensed milk, or a combination comprising at least one of tbe foregoing dairy components.
In some ernbodirnecits, rior:-dairy components may replace part or all of ttie dairy components in the miik-based composition, Suitable non-dairy components include soy milk, alinond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, and the like, or a combination comprising at least otie of the for egoing.
Stabilizers can be added t.^, the milk-based composition to prevent precipitation.
1=,xerri,-+larv stabilizers incl-L:de hydrocolloids such as pectici, propylene glycol alginate, acid the like, as well as the .stabilizers descr5~bed fui-tb,er herein.
N
The ar:xount of milk proteins in a milk-based beverage compcsition can be about 0.1%
to abc;tit 10% by weight based on the total weight of the milk-based beverage composition, specifically about 0.5% to about 5 ~. by ~~eiglit, aiid more speci:ically about 1.~3 o to about 4% by weight.
The milk-based composition can cor:ta.in a sweetening agent, colot-in.g agent, or other additives as disclosed herein. The i-nilk-based co:nposition can be non-carbonated or carbonated.
In some embi?diments, the milk-based beverage is lactose fxee.
The process for prepariiig milk-based beverage compositions generally includes mixing and emulsifying a dairy component or non-dairy component with afi einulsif er to forrrl an eintdsified corr:ponerit. The e:nulsified component can be pastetirized, cooled, and blended with a second component, which can contairi a flavoring agent, a sweetening agent, other additives, or vrater or other suitable liquid to forrn a beverage composition. The blending can be performed under aseptic conditions to ensure product ir:tegrity.
Suitable conditions for the pasteun'zatioti of milk-base compositions can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue exlserirr eritation LE,ing the gaidelines provided. An exernpla=.y pasteur:aation process to sterilize the err3ulsified component or ot .er dairy component can be effected at temperatures of about 1301 to about ]40 C
for about 30 secorid5 to about 2 rriir:tEtes iza an aseptic enviroennent. Alternatively, the pastenrization cafi be performed at about 11 5 to about 1 25 C for about 20 to about 30 minutes in an aseptic envir.^,nxa-ient.
In anotlier embodirnent, the milk-based composition is filled into a'oeverage container and then ;ubiected to the pasteurization conditions.
Alcoholic compositions:
"f'he compositions described herein may furo-her comprise an alcoholic composition.

i;arl~onated compositions:
A carbonated beverage composition typically contains about 0.1 to about 5.0 volumes of gas or gasses, t}rpic.ally carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogeri, n.itrous oxide, and mixtures tllereof per voluine of the beverage composition, ln some embodiments, a mixture of gasses such as carbon dioxide and nitroLEs oxide may be used. The carbonation can be effected by forceful introduction of the gas or gasses under presstare to the beverage cornl.-~osition.
Cooling the beverage co:nposition allows for greater ai-nounts of carbon dioxide and./or other gasses to be solubilized by the beverage composition. C:arboriatior: can be t:sed to enhancic1g the flavcr, sweetness, taste, and moata,-feel of the composition.
Additior_ally, carbonation lowers the Pf of the composition.
The salts may be prefor:ned or forrned in the foodstuff by reaction with typical butlering agents, such as sodium phosphate, potassit:rr, citrate, sodium acetate, calciulr:
phosphate fe.g. mono-and tricalciurrs phosphates) and the like which are also nornrally eniployed in foodstuffs to provide the desired pH.
For in-sta.r:ce, beverages sweetened a.ecordi~ig to the present iriverztior:
provide a syrupy, rounded sweetness profile similar to products sweetened with sucrose, whereas beverages swe,etened by APM alone have a:nore li.ngering sweetness prof:le, Although blends of APM and Ace-K can have a more sugar-like swe,etness/time profile than APM

fn some embodiments, a mixture of at least one active substance and at least one taste potentiator is encapsulated, rather than encapsulating the taste potentiator or the active substance alone. Similar to above, the encapsulant may be selected to delay or increase the rate of release of the mixture of components. Any of the er:e.apsulants described above rnasr be en-iploved.
For example, in some embodiments, the aetive substance(s) may be at least one intense sweetener. The intense sweetener(s) may be inixed with at least one taste potentiator, which is selected to increase the sweet taste of the intense sweetener(s).
This mixture of components may then be encapsulated. Exai-nples of su.itab(e intense sweeteners incllFde, bi3t are not limited to, neotame, aspartame, fi,cesulfame-K, sucraiose, saccharin and combinations thereof.
In embodiments including an encapsuaated minture of actii=e(s) and pote ntiator(st, the active siibstance(s ) may be present in amounts of aboiit a io to about 95% o by weight of the coa:iposition, more specifically about 5% to about 30% by weight. The taste potentiator(s) maybe presecit Lin amounts of about 0.0 1% to about 12 ,!, by weight of the cornposition, more specifically about 0.1% to abozat 5% by weight. The encapsulant may be present in amounts of about i% to about 45a/, by, wei'ubt of tbe connposition, more speci#ically about 10% to about 60% by weight.
As mentioned above, some embod:rnents may include a mixture of at least one encapsulated taste potentiator and at ;east one taste potentiator in its free fo:-m, The encapsulated and uner:capsulated taste potentiators may be the same or di.ffe;e:.t. The encapsulated taste potentiatoriss may be encapsulated by any of the materiais described above. The mixture of encapsulated and unencapsulated taste potecitiator5 rriay be co:nbined with cne or more active substances to provide a potentiator composition.
Some other embodiments provide coanpositions that modi3late the activit-y of taste receptor cells in amamrnal. Such compositions fnay ificlude at least orie aetive substance afid at least one taste potentiator, as described above. These components may be encapsulated or r3nenca,-+sulated, also as described above. 'fhe taste potentiator(s) may modulate the activity of taste receptor cells upon cousutnptior: of the compositioti. More specifically, taste is percei~~ed tlirough sensory cells located ir the taste buds. Different signalin~ mechanisms sense the primary tastes of salty, sour, sweet, bitter and urriami. Eventually a nerve unpulse is triggered in the brain that is sensed as g3xe of these primary tastes.
Taste potefitiators function by rrlodulatmg the activity of taste receptor cells at some point in tliis taste signaling patliway. For instance, in soirae cases, taste potentiators rriay bind to taste receptors, such as, for exar3aple, sweet taste receptors, wh.ich daereby e xharEces tbe perce;ption of the sweet taste. In other e,:~bodiments, for example, taste potentiators may block taste receptors, such as, for example bitter receptors, wbich suppress tl;e perception of a bitter taste and thereby enhances the percept?ori of a sweet taste. Taste potentiator(s), therefore, modulate the activity of taste receptor ce'ls in manu-raals, which thereby enhances the perception of agiven taste. 'l'his activity znay eaih.anee the perception of an active Substanceco71ta1Tled in the composition w11erF coI1SurI1eG in ctSrE;E,x.nctioil wttlA a taste potentiator.

The confectionery compositions also may mclude a varietv of optianal additives, as provided in more detail below. Upon consumption, the composition containing the active(s) and the taste patentiator(s) releases f:orn the confection and provides an enhanced perception of the active(s) contained therein.
For exaniple, iri some ernbodirnents, the active substance may be at least one sweetener, sach as, a sugar sweetener, sugarless bulk sweetener, intense sweetener or any combination thereof. In general, the active substance(s) may be present i_n a.moui3ts of about 0.0001 % to about 75% o by weight of the confectionerycornposition. In some embodiments, wtiic.l,, include actives other than intense sweeteners, the active substance(s,4 may be present in amounts of about 25 ,io to about ;'5% by weight of the confectionery composition. "f'he taste.
potentiator(s) rnay- be present in amounts of abo:at 0.01 % to about 10% bv vreigh+ of the confectionery camposition.
Some ernbodinients are directed to a cornestible in the forrn of a lozenge or candy, also co3Ta3ionlv refe3Ted to as confectioneries. Stich confectionery compositions may include ?3 a confectionery base including bulk sweeteners such as sugars and sugarless bulk sweeteners, or the like, or mixtzire.s thereof. BiLiElc sweeteners ge:ierally are present in amounts of about 0.05% to about 99% by weight of the composition.
A variety of traditional ingred:ents also may be included i:i the confectioneries in effective amounts stich as coloring agents, antioxidants, preservatives, sweeteners, and the like. Caloring agerrts may be used in anaounts effective to produce the desired calor, The colarim, a~ents rray include pigments which may be i:-corporated in a3no~.nts up to abotit 6%, bv we:g' t of the composition. For example, titaniunj dioxide may be incorporatgd in amounts up to about 2%, and preferably less than about 1 %, b; we:gl:t of the, c,a:nposition.
The colorar:ts rnay alsc include nat~.~ral food colors and dyes suitable for food, drug and cosmetic applicatioris. Tliese colorants are kiiown as F.D.& C. dyes and lakes. T'he traterials acceptable for the foregoing use;: are preferably water-soluble. Iilustrative nonlimiting examples include the indigoid dye known as F.D.& C. Blue No.2, which is the disodium salt o:' 5,5-indigotindisuafomic acid. Similarly, the dye k~nown as F.D.& C. G:-een .tto. l comprises a triphenylmetliane dye afid is the monosodium salt of 4-[4-(l*d-ethyl-p-sulfoniumbenzylam.i.no) diphenylmet,.ylene]-[1-(N-ethyl -N-p-s24lfotiiuniberf,zyl:)-delta-2 "--cyclohexadieneimine]. A fiili recitation of all F.D.& C. colorants and their corresponding chemical structures may be f'ot3nd ia the K.irk-C3tlsxner Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, ir: volume ~ at pages 857-884,lvhicl: text is incorporated herein by =.-eferencc.
Lulsricants also may be added in sorne embodiments to improve the smoothr?ess of the cornestil~le, suc~. as, for exar~iple hard candy ez~al~odi~aents: Smoothness also is a characteristic, that leads to an in.creased perception of hydration upon consumption. Suitable :ubricants include, but are not limited to, fats, oils, aloe vera, pectifi afid cofr:binations thereof.
Similarly, in some embodiments, the comestible may have smooth edges. In such e,bodiments, the coi,estible may liave any shape, such as square, circular or diamor,cl-210 shaped, however, the edges are rounded to provide a sy-:ooth comestible.
Another mar?ner of le~~di~g s3:nootl-uiess to the comestibles is to deposit the comestible composition into moulds during the manuaactur:ng process. Accordingly, :n some embodirrAents, the cor:iestible is deposited, as clesc:-i`oed in more detail below.
In some embodiments, the cozafectiorxery composition may Iftirthe.r i.n.clude a sweetener selected from Lo han guo, stevia, monatin and combinations thereof.
Otlier conventiofial additives kinown to one having ordirlary skill in the art also fnay be used in the confectionery compositions.
In some embodiments, confectionery compositions may be produced by batch processes. Such confections may be prepared using conventional apparatus such as fire cookers, cooki:ag extruders, andior vact:t:r:a cookers. In some einbodimefits, the bulk swc.eterier (sugar or sugar free; and a solvent (e.g., waterj, are combined in amixir g vessel to form a slun-y. I"lie sir;i-ry is heated to about 70 C to 120 C to dissolve any sweetener crystals or particles and to fo=.ni an aqueous solution. Once dissolved, heat and vacua:n are applied to cook the batePi aiid boil off water until a residual moisture of less than about 4% is achieved.
The batch clzar:ges from a crystalline to an amorphous, or glassy, phase. The potetitiator conaposition then may be admixed in the batch by rnec;;anical mixing operations, alo~ig with any other optional additives, su-ch as coloring agents, flavorants, and the like. The batch is then cooled to about 500C to 1 v C to attain a sefr i-solid or plastic-like consistencv.
The optimum mixing, requ:red to uniformly mix the actives, potentiators, and other additives during manufacturinv of hard confectionery is detemiined by= the tiW-.e needed to obtain a anif }rm distribution of the mateF:als. '*iornially, mixing times of from tuur to tecl rniciutes have been found to be acceptable. Once the candy mass lias been properly tempered, it may be cut into workable regions or forrtied into desired shapes having the correct weight and diniensions. A variety of forming tecliniques may be utilized dependi.Frg upon the shape and size of the final product desired. Once the desired shapes are fortned, cool air is applied to allow the comestibles to set tEniformly, after which they are wrapped and packaged.
Alternatively, various contir:uous cooking processes utilizing thin film evaporators and illjection ports for incorporation of ingredients including tlie potentiator compositions are knovJn in the art afid may be used as well.

Other conventional cl:ewing gurri additives known to {~ne ha~~ing ord~nary sl:ill in the chewing gur art may also be used in the gun base.
The chewing gum compositions may include aniounts of conventional additives selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, plasticizers, softeners, ernulsifiers, waxes, fillers, bullcing agents fca~:-iers5 e~.tenders, bulk sweeteners), rnineral adjuvants, flavor agents and ioloruig agents, antioxidants, acidulants, tl`iickeners, nbedicaments, oral care actives, such as remir:eralization agents, antimicrobials and tooth whitening agents, as descr~bed in assignee's co-pendirzg U.S. Patent Application No. 10/903,51l., filed on July 29, 2004 and entitled "Tooth Wlu'tening C.^,znpositions and Delivery Systems Tl:ereftrr,'9 wh:ch is incorporated herein by reterence in its entirety-, and the like, and mixt~.~.=es thereof. Some of these additives may serve more than one purpose. For example, in sugarless gum co:r,positions, a sweetener, such as maltitol or other sugar alcohol, may also function as a l~utl~i g agent.
Bulk sweeteners iiiclude stigars, s~.:garless 1.7u1x sweeteners, or ffie like, or mixtures tliereof. Bulk sweeteners generally are present in amounts of about 5% to about 99% by weight of the chewing gum composition. Suitablc sugar sweeteners and sugarless bulk swee,tenel=s, as well as intense sweeteners are provided above in the de,scriptiori of the potentiator coin,positions.
In general, an etfective amount of intense sweetener may be utilized to provide the level of sweetness des:red, and this amount may vary with the sweetener selected. 'I'he intense sweetefier inay be, preserit in aniounts frofn aboLit 0.001 % to abotit 3%, by weiglit of the chewir:g gum composition, depeiiding upon the sweetener or co:ribinat:or:
of sweeteners used. The exact range of amounts for each type of sweetener inay be selected by those skilled in the art, hi sorne einL-sodimetits, the chewing g-LFrfi eocnpositior: fnay' include a sweetener selected from Lo'aan gtio, stevia, cronatin and c.ori:bina4ions thereof.
Any of the flavor agents discussed above as being suitable for use in the pote,ntiato r compositions also n-iay be used in the chewing gum compositions. In chewing gum composit:ons, flavor agents ger:erally inay be present in amounts from about 0.02% to about 5%, and more specifically from aboiit 0. 1% to aboiit 4%, and even more specifically, from about 0.8% to about 3%, by weigl?t of the composition.
C'oioring agents may be used in amounts effective to produce the desired co'or. The colcring agents may include pigments which may be incorporated in :,~rnounts up to about 6%, by weight of the composition. For example, titanium diomide, mav be incomorated in amounts up to about 2 o, acid pr eferablyr less tbaci about 1%; by weight of the composition.
The colorants rr-av also i~ clade nat1ral food colors and dyes saitable for food, drug and cosmetic applications. Suitable col.on'3ig agents are set forth above in the description of confectionery compositions.
The plasticizers, softening agents, _nineral adluvants, waxes and antioxidants disciissed above, as being suitable for use in the gum base, rnay also be used in the cbewing gum composition. Examples of other conventional additives zvfticb may be iiset-1 ir:c,llide err:i:lsifers, such as :ecit':?in and glyceryl monostearate, thickeners, used alone oi- ifl comb:natiori iYrith other softeners, such as mettiyl cellulose, alginates, carrageenan, xant},an gaim, gelatin, carob, tragacantb, locust bean, and carboxy methyl cellulose, acidulants such as fa alic acid, adil3ic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures tb,ereof, and fillers, such as those disciEssed above under the category of mitieral adjuvants.

In some etnbodiments, the potentiator composition included in the chewing gum composition may iliclude at least one active substance bavi3xg a fii-st solubility and at least one taste Dote3.1tiator havii?g a second solubi:itd. The first and second solubilities may be substantially siniilar or different and may be selected to provide a controlled-release profile to the chewing gum comif?osition. In partieular, the selected solub?lities may provide one of the following release profiles: sirr~u:taneo~zs release, sequential release os partiallv overlap;?ing 3i1 releabe.
Some embodiments extend to :etbods of prepanng a cl?ewing gum prodzEct. The products niay be prel?ared using standard techniques and equipment known to those skilled in the art. The apparatus useful in accordance with the embodiments descrabed herein includes mixin~ and heating apparatus Euell k~od~~n in the chewing gum rr~.anufact-arin; arts, and therefore the selection of the specific apparatus will be apparent to the artisan. For general chewincy gum preparation processes see U.S. Patent Nos. 4,271,197 to Hopkins et al, 4,352,822 to Cb.eruk-uri et al and 4,497,83-12 to Cherukuri et al, each of whic.b is ir:c,ofporated herein by reference in its entirety.
More speci:ically; in accordance with some embodiments, at least one encapsulant and at least one taste potentiator cnay be mixed to form a dispersion of the components. In particular, the encapsulant(s) may be rr:elted at elevated temperatures in a high shear rnixer.
The potentiator(s) may be added to the molten encapsulant and mixed under high shear to co:npletely disperse the components, The components may be mixed at elevated tetnperata.res of about 50y150 C. I'be resulting tnixttire of compoaients may be cooled. A
plurality of encapsulated taste potentiator particles subsequently may be formed from the mixture. The particles nnay be formed to an appropriate size as desired, generally from an average particle size range of about 50 ~im to abotit 800 m. `I'his may be accomplished by atiy suitable means suz.b as chopping, pulverizing, milling or grinding the particles.
Alternatively, the encapsulated particles may be prepared by spray drying methods.
More specifically, the encapsulant(s) n-iay be dissolved in water. Iin some em-bodiments, this solution may be prepared in an agitated vessel. Tbe taste pote:stiatc,r(s) then may be dispersed in the solution. The solution, or suspension, may be spray dried using a spray dryer fitted with an air atomized nozzle at elevated temperatures to torrn the encapsudated particles.
In other e,:;lboduments, the encapsulated particles may be prepared by any suitable spray coating a-nethQd as known in the art. One suitabie process is the Wurster process. This process prov ides ainethod f'or encap.salating individual particulate materials. First, the particles to be encapsulated are suspended in a fluidizing air stream, which provides a generally cyclic flow in front of a spray nozzle. The spray nozzle sprays a3i atomized flow of the coating solution, which may iiiclude the encapsulant(s) and a suitable solvent. The atomized coating solation collides witb the particles as they are carried away from : the nozzle t.^, provide a paro-icle coating with the coating solution. The temperature of the flu:dizi.n.g air strearn, vrlxich also ser-1,,es to suspend the particles to be coated, may be adjtisted to evaporate the solveiit sl:crtly after the coatinc, soluticn contacts tlre particles. Tli-is se:ves to solidify the coating on the particles, resulting in the desired encap3ulated particle.
In some embodi3laents, at least one actis'e substance may be corribined in the first step of tlie process along with the er:capsialant(s) and the taste potentiator(s) to form a dispersion of all the cornponerits. The active sul.-~stancel's) tliereb-v may be encapsulated with the taste potentiator(s) to form an encapsulated :nixture of the components.
Once the eticapsulated particles are obtained, they' may be added to a chewing gum compcsitior:. Suc}i encapsulated particles also rnay be added to confectioriery co:npositions to prepare any of the confectionery products described above. The chewirig gum compositiori may be prepared using standard techniques and equipment, as described above.
The encapsulated particles may be added to the chewing giim composition to enhance the perzeptioii of at least one active substance contained therein, which may be ary of the actives described above. Once the encapsulated particles are mixed into the chewing gum composition, individual chewing gum pieces rnay be fo=.-med using standard techniques known in the chewing gum art. For instance, chewing gu=.n pieces may be prepared in the form of a slab, pellet, stick, center-fill g-Lini, deposited, compressed z.liewing garn or any other suitable forryiat.
For instai7ce, center-fill chewing -nrr: em;.7odiments may include a center-fill regioli, which may be a liquid or powder or other solid, and a gum region. Some embodiments also may include an outer gl.::n coating or shell, v~'liich typicallv provides a cn:r:chiness to the p:ece when initially chewed. The outer coating or shell may at least partially s.arround the gum region. The potentiator compositions described above :nav be incorporated into any of the regions of the center-fill cliewing g~:r:x, i.e., the center-fill region, guir: region and/or o;iter coating of the gum. Alter:?ati6'ely, the taste pote?lti:, tor(s) mab' be incorporated into one region while the active substance(s) is incorporated into a different region of the center-fill gu.ni. 1_;pon consumption, the taste-potentiator(s) and active(s) may release:
frorsz the different regions and comhiiie as the gum is chewed. Ce.:ater-fill cliewing gtims and methods of preparing same are inore fiilly described in assigr:ee's co-pending U.S.

In some embodiments, the c,bewing g5um may have a coating tliereon. Stich coated chewing gurns are t,r~ically~ reaerred to as pellet gtErr~s. The outer coati:~g may be hard or crunchy. Any stiitable coating inaterials known to those skilled in the art may be ertiployed.
'I';pically, tlie outer coatmg may iriclt:de sorbitol, rn.altitol, xylitol, isomalt, eryrtlztol and other crvstallizable polyols; sucrose may also be used. Furthermore the coating may include several opaque layers, such that the chewing gurn conipositioii is riot visible throe.gh the coating itself, which can optionally be covered with a further one or more transparent layers for aesthetic, textural and protective purposes. The outer coatiiig may also contain sfr all amotints of water and gt3m arabic. Tbe coating can be fLa:-ther coated zvitli wax. The coating mav be applied in a conventional manner by successive applications of a coating solution, with drying in between each coat. As the coating dries it usually becomes opaque and is usually white, tbougb oth.er colorants may be added. A polyol coati3ig can be ffirta,er t,oated witb, wax. Tbe coating can fiurther mclude colored flakes or speckles. If the composition includes a coatir:g, it is possible that one or more oral care actives carl be dispersed throughout the coating. This is especiallv preferred if one or more oral care actives is 2) 5 incompatible in a si.ngle phase compositio:a with another of the actives.
Flavors fr:ay also be added to Yield uniqtie product cbaracteristics.

Juice-based compositions:
J24ice-based composition.s generally contain a juice component obtained from fniit or vegetable. The juice component can be used in any form .suc;, as a jnice form, a concentrate, an extract, a powder, cr the lilÃe.
:0 Suitable juices include, for example, citrus jr3ice, non-citrns juice,, or niixtures tliereof, which are known for use in beverages. Exaniples of such juices include, non-citrus j~~ices such as apple juice, grape juice, pear juice, nectarine jaice, currant jn.ice, raspI berry juice, gooseberry juice, blackberry juice, blueberry juice, strawberry juice, custard-apple juice, ;5 pomegranate juice, gLiava jtaice, kiwi juice, mango juice, papayra juice, watermelon juice, cantaloupe ju.ice, cherry juic.e, cranberry juice, peach juice, apricot juice, plum jlEice, and pineapple juice; citrus juices such as orange juice, lernon juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and tangerine juice; and vegetea.ble juice such as carrot jn.ice and tomato juice; or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing j;aices.
2~
Unles:; otherwise indicated, juice as used can include fTuit or vegetable liqiiids containing a percentage of solids derived f:=otr: the fruit or vegetable, for example pulp seeds, skins, fibers, and the like, and pectin, which is nat-Lirally occtirring in the fruit or vegetable.
The amount of solids in the juice can be about 1 to about 75 wt%, specifica;ly about 5 to 25 about 60 wt%, more specif ically about 10' to about 45 wt`Yc, and yet more specifically about to about 30 wt% each based on the total weight of the juice. f-ligher concentrations of solids can be found in jmice concentrates, purees, and the lilÃe.
The amount of juice co:ponent present in the juice-based composition generally can 30 be aborEt 0. ] wte% to about 15 wt% based on the total weight of t'ne composition, specifically about 5 wta% to about 75 wt%, and more specifically about 110 wt% to about 50 wt a each based on the total weight of the composition. Amounts may vary depending ;apo~l whether the composition is a conc.entrate, or a ready to drink beverage, for exainple.
The recnaining components in the juice-based coniposition can be added water or othe;r suitable tiquid, a hweetening agent, a #la~~orir:g agefit, or other additi~=es as described herein.
Tlae juice-based composition can be non-carbonated or carbonated.
In orie embodiment, tbe.juice-based cnmposition is fortified with solubi;ize.d calcium ir the form of calcium carbonate, calciuni oxide, or calcium hydroxide, for exafnple. A food-rrade acid is added to the calciurp. fortified juice-based composition to improve the solubility of calc.it3rn. Exemplary food-grade acids suitable for use in the juice-based composition are further discussed herein, specificaiiy citric acid, malic acid, or a conibination comprising at least one of the foregoing food-grade acids.
In soine e3-nbodiments, the juice-based composition can be fornied from a f:ait or vegetable t3sing a hot break or cold break process. In both processes, the fruit or vegetable is triaceratted ared passed tm-oug}i conventional equipment to se~parate out seeds, skins and other undesired solids. The composition is then concentrated by conventional techniques. In hot break processes, the fruit or vegetubie is typically heated during maceration or i~r~ediate:y thereafter to deactivate enzymes that may degrade the produCt and decrease the viscosity of the product. In cold break processes, the fruit or vegetable typically are processed at lower 2) 0 ternperat-ures than hot break. A hot break process accordingly may provide a thicker product than those produced by a cold break process.
In one embodiment, the;:xice-based coniposition is pasteurized to destros, unwanted rnicroorgan,isms. Suitab;e pasterariz-ation conditions ofJ'uice-based coznpositions can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art withoat undue expez-i3raentation using the gaidelines provided. An exemplary pasteuriz.ation process to sterilize t}ie juice-based composition is by heating the coniposition to about 60 to about Si;'C: for about 6 to about 15 minutes in ai, aseptic enviro:flrsent.
In another embodiment, the juice-based composition is t:11ed in.to a beverage container ar:d then subjected to pastea:izat;o:a conditions. Alternatively, the co:npositiori is hot-filled into a beverage container at temperatures sufficient to sterilize the composition in the container.
In anotber embodiment, the jaice-based composition can contain a preservative allowing the composition to be cold-filled into a beverage container without the need for pasteurization. Specifically, tlie preservatives can be added to lower th;, pH
level of the beverage to pH of about 3 to about 4.5. Suitable preservatives are discussed in detail berein.

Stabilizers can be added t.^, the milk-based composition to prevent precipitation.
1=,xerri,-+larv stabilizers incl-L:de hydrocolloids such as pectici, propylene glycol alginate, acid the like, as well as the .stabilizers descr5~bed fui-tb,er herein.
N
The ar:xount of milk proteins in a milk-based beverage compcsition can be about 0.1%
to abc;tit 10% by weight based on the total weight of the milk-based beverage composition, specifically about 0.5% to about 5 ~. by ~~eiglit, aiid more speci:ically about 1.~3 o to about 4% by weight.
The milk-based composition can cor:ta.in a sweetening agent, colot-in.g agent, or other additives as disclosed herein. The i-nilk-based co:nposition can be non-carbonated or carbonated.
In some embi?diments, the milk-based beverage is lactose fxee.
The process for prepariiig milk-based beverage compositions generally includes mixing and emulsifying a dairy component or non-dairy component with afi einulsif er to forrrl an eintdsified corr:ponerit. The e:nulsified component can be pastetirized, cooled, and blended with a second component, which can contairi a flavoring agent, a sweetening agent, other additives, or vrater or other suitable liquid to forrn a beverage composition. The blending can be performed under aseptic conditions to ensure product ir:tegrity.
Suitable conditions for the pasteun'zatioti of milk-base compositions can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue exlserirr eritation LE,ing the gaidelines provided. An exernpla=.y pasteur:aation process to sterilize the err3ulsified component or ot .er dairy component can be effected at temperatures of about 1301 to about ]40 C
for about 30 secorid5 to about 2 rriir:tEtes iza an aseptic enviroennent. Alternatively, the pastenrization cafi be performed at about 11 5 to about 1 25 C for about 20 to about 30 minutes in an aseptic envir.^,nxa-ient.

i;arl~onated compositions:
A carbonated beverage composition typically contains about 0.1 to about 5.0 volumes of gas or gasses, t}rpic.ally carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogeri, n.itrous oxide, and mixtures tllereof per voluine of the beverage composition, ln some embodiments, a mixture of gasses such as carbon dioxide and nitroLEs oxide may be used. The carbonation can be effected by forceful introduction of the gas or gasses under presstare to the beverage cornl.-~osition.
Cooling the beverage co:nposition allows for greater ai-nounts of carbon dioxide and./or other gasses to be solubilized by the beverage composition. C:arboriatior: can be t:sed to enhancic1g the flavcr, sweetness, taste, and moata,-feel of the composition.
Additior_ally, carbonation lowers the Pf of the composition.
The salts may be prefor:ned or forrned in the foodstuff by reaction with typical butlering agents, such as sodium phosphate, potassit:rr, citrate, sodium acetate, calciulr:
phosphate fe.g. mono-and tricalciurrs phosphates) and the like which are also nornrally eniployed in foodstuffs to provide the desired pH.
For in-sta.r:ce, beverages sweetened a.ecordi~ig to the present iriverztior:
provide a syrupy, rounded sweetness profile similar to products sweetened with sucrose, whereas beverages swe,etened by APM alone have a:nore li.ngering sweetness prof:le, Although blends of APM and Ace-K can have a more sugar-like swe,etness/time profile than APM
alone, such blends stil: lack the sucrose-like r:iouthfeel of the prese:st invention.
