Method for enhancing steviol glycoside compound, composition, and steviol glycoside solubility for ingestion or oral use

摘要

Problem to be solved: to provide a composition which facilitates the preparation of an aqueous composition having a higher concentration of steviol glycoside.Solution: a first group of four glucopyranose residues bound via the 13th carbon (C13) of the steviol moiety A novel steviol glycoside compound is disclosed, characterized by a second group of two or three glucopyranose residues that are linked via the 19th carbon (C19) of the steviol portion and the steviol portion.These compounds can be present in the composition together with other steviol glycosides (e.g., REB D and rib m) to enhance their solubility.Thus, the steviol glycoside composition comprising one or more of the new compounds may be used as a sweetener composition for imparting sweetener to other compositions (sweetener composition) such as food, beverage, medicine, oral hygiene composition, dietary supplement, etc.Selection diagram
