THE COCA-COLA COMPANY

Compositions and consumables comprising at least one D-sugar or L-sugar and a non-sucrose sweetener (e.g., a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener) are provided herein. Methods for modulating one or more taste attributes, included enhancing sweetness, improving temporal profile, reducing sweet linger, reducing bitterness, improving mouthfeel, improving taste and/or sweet intensity, of a consumable are disclosed. The compositions and methods can be used to make a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

Described are non-animal protein blends comprising legume protein, and one or more of synthetic protein, seed protein, and grain protein, wherein the blend has a PDCAAS of 1. Compositions comprising these blends and methods of using them are also disclosed.

Enhanced water beverages containing a steviol glycoside composition, a mogroside composition, a miracle fruit composition, and at least one vitamin and/or electrolyte are provided.

Diet beverages comprising at least one protein sweetener are provided herein. The protein sweeteners act to enhance the mouthfeel of certain beverages and/or modulate one or more taste attributes of the beverage to provide a beverage with more sucrose-sweetened taste characteristics. Methods of preparing beverages and methods of enhancing the mouthfeel and/or one or more taste attributes of beverages are also detailed herein.

The present disclosure presents compositions and methods for improving cognitive function and/or alertness of a human. In one embodiment, a method comprises: administering to the human in need of an improved condition an edible composition, wherein the composition comprises: caffeine and/or a derivative thereof; and a polyphenol, wherein the composition has a weight ratio of the total polyphenol to the total caffeine from about 1:10 to about 10:1. In some embodiments, the polyphenol is a chlorogenic acid (CGA).

Provided herein are orally consumable compositions comprising caffeine and a plant extract composition and methods of providing a cognitive benefit by administration of the orally consumable compositions.

The present disclosure presents a solution to producing a sweet protein or a variant thereof having low or no calorie. By using recombinant gene and plant transformation techniques, non-native genes encoding a sweet protein are included in the propagatable genome of a plant, thereby forming a genetically modified plant, wherein the plant by the native genome thereof prior to modification may not produce the sweet protein naturally. Such genetically modified plant and a progeny thereof are enabled to produce non-native sweet protein and/or a variant thereof. Sweeteners, compositions, and consumables derived from the genetically modified plant are also provided.

A Stevia extract made from leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant is described. The extract has desired levels of steviol glycosides and is useful in food, beverage, and other consumable products.
