EP 2 970 354 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 970 354 B1 Description FIELD OF THE INVENTION 5 [0001] The present invention relates generally to steviol glycosides, as well as compositions comprising such steviol glycosides. The present invention further extends to methods of preparing and purifying such steviol glycosides, methods for preparing compositions comprising such steviol glycosides (e.g., consumables) and methods for enhancing the flavor or sweetness of consumables using steviol glycosides and compositions comprising the same. 10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Natural caloric sugars, such as sucrose, fructose and glucose, are utilized to provide a pleasant taste to bev- erages, foods, pharmaceuticals, and oral hygienic/cosmetic products. Sucrose, in particular, imparts a taste preferred by consumers. Although sucrose provides superior sweetness characteristics, it is caloric. Non-caloric or low caloric 15 sweeteners have been introduced to satisfy consumer demand. However, sweeteners within this class differ from natural caloric sugars in ways that continue to frustrate consumers. On a taste basis, non-caloric or low caloric sweeteners exhibit a temporal profile, maximal response, flavor profile, mouth feel, and/or adaptation behavior that differ from sugar. Specifically, non-caloric or low caloric sweeteners exhibit delayed sweetness onset, lingering sweet aftertaste, bitter taste, metallic taste, astringent taste, cooling taste and/or licorice-like taste. On a source basis, many non-caloric or low 20 caloric sweeteners are synthetic chemicals. The desire for a natural non-caloric or low caloric sweetener that tastes like sucrose remains high. [0003] Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial shrub of the Asteraceae (Compositae) family native to certain regions of South America. Its leaves have been traditionally used for hundreds of years in Paraguay and Brazil to sweeten local teas and medicines. The plant is commercially cultivated in Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, China, 25 Israel, India, Brazil, Australia and Paraguay. [0004] The leaves of the plant contain a mixture containing diterpene glycosides in an amount ranging from about 10%to 20% of the total dryweight. These diterpeneglycosides areabout 150 to 450 times sweeterthan sugar.Structurally, the diterpene glycosides are characterized by a single base, steviol, and differ by the presence of carbohydrate residues at positions C13 and C19. Typically, on a dry weight basis, the four major steviol glycosides found in the leaves of Stevia 30 are dulcoside A (0.3%), rebaudioside C (0.6-1.0%), rebaudioside A (3.8%) and stevioside (9.1 %). Other glycosides identified in Stevia extract include rebaudioside B, D, E, and F, steviolbioside and rubusoside. Among these, only steviosideand rebaudioside Aare availableon a commercial scale. US2010/0278993 disclosesrebaudioside A derivative products and methods for making them. The use of steviol glycosides has been limited to date by certain undesirable taste properties, including licorice taste, bitterness, astringency, sweet aftertaste, bitter aftertaste, licorice aftertaste, and 35 become more prominent with increase of concentration. These undesirable taste attributes are particularly prominent in carbonated beverages, where full replacement of sugar requires concentrations of steviol glycosides that exceed 500 mg/L. Use at that level results in significant deterioration in the final product taste. [0005] Accordingly, there remains a need to develop natural reduced or non-caloric sweeteners that provide a temporal and flavor profile similar to that of sucrose. 40 [0006] There remains a further need for methods for purifying steviol glycosides from stevia. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The present invention relates generally to steviol glycosides and compositions comprising such steviol glyco- 45 sides, as well as methods of preparing and purifying such steviol glycosides, methods of preparing compositions com- prising such steviol glycosides (e.g., consumables) and methods for enhancing the flavor or sweetness of consumables using these steviol glycosides and compositions.

The product is obtained from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The leaves are extracted with hot water and the aqueous extract is passed through an adsorption resin to trap and concentrate the component steviol glycosides. The resin is washed with a solvent alcohol to release the glycosides and the product is recrystallized from methanol or aqueous ethanol. Ion exchange resins may be used in the purification process. The final product may be spray-dried.

JECFA 2017 is the most updated international standardized method but it runs for 80 min per sample with suboptimal separations on several critical pairs for its high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) determination. We developed and validated a rapid and economic HPLC-UV method using the superficially porous particle column to determine 13 steviol glycosides (stevioside, dulcoside A, rubusoside, steviobioside, and rebaudioside A−F, I, M, and N). Baseline separation with a minimum resolution of 1.5 for 13 steviol glycosides was achieved within only 14 min of separation time. The hydrocarbon stationary phase with additional steric interactions from the isobutyl side chains on the C18 ligand was shown to be an important contributor to chromatographic selectivity of several critical pairs of steviol glycosides. The method was proven to perform suitably on columns from three different manufacturers and two HPLC instruments. The method was further used to perform a single-lab validation on eight food and supplement products with multiple matrices. The results ranged from 0.05% w/w rebaudioside A for a hard-candy finished product to 100.8% w/w purity for a rebaudioside M raw ingredient.

These SG’s are the principal sweetening agents which are 200-300 times more sweeter than sucrose. A number of SG’s are present in the leaves of Stevia namely, stevioside, dulcoside A, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C (previously known as dulcoside B), rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E and steviolbioside, 100–125. At the 63rd meeting a temporary ADI of 0-2 mg/kg bodyweight and day, expressed as steviol, was established based on a No-Observed- Effect-Level (NOEL). Steviol glycoside extracts have broad applications as sweetener in the manufacture of fruit and milk drinks, desserts, yoghurt, delicacies, confectioneries, fruit products, processed seafood products, pickles, table-top sweeteners and dietary supplements. Other aspects considered are physicochemical and biologic properties for food processing, stability and therapeutic value of SG’s. nutritional information, Stevia market and household uses. Keywords: Stevia rebaudiana, Steviol glycosides, stevioside and rebaudioside. INTRODUCTION Stevia rebaudiana, a perennial herb from the Asteraceae family, is dulcoside.

  • Identification and Quantification of Major Steviol Glycosides in Stevia
    ARTICLE pubs.acs.org/JAFC Identification and Quantification of Major Steviol Glycosides in Stevia rebaudiana Purified Extracts by 1H NMR Spectroscopy Valerio Pieri,† Andrea Belancic,‡ Susana Morales,‡ and Hermann Stuppner*,† † Institute of Pharmacy/Pharmacognosy, Center for Molecular Biosciences Innsbruck (CMBI), University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52c, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria ‡ Prodalysa Ltda, Lote 13, Parque Industrial Gulmue, Camino Internacional, Concon, Chile bS Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of Stevia rebaudiana extracts is presented. The developed method allows qualitative and quantitative determination of the major steviol glycosides in purified extracts and fractions obtained from various stages of the purification process. Moreover, it proved to be a powerful tool to differentiate between glycosides which are naturally occurring in the stevia plant and artifacts formed in the course of the manufacturing process. Identification of steviol glycosides was achieved by the use of 2D NMR techniques, whereas quantification is based on qHNMR using anthracene as internal À standard. The solvent mixture pyridine-d5 DMSO-d6 (6:1) enabled satisfactory separation of the signals to be integrated. Validation of the method was performed in terms of specificity, precision, accuracy, linearity, robustness, and stability. Quantitative results were compared to those obtained with the JECFA HPLCÀUV method and were found to be in reasonable agreement. NMR analysis does not rely on the use of reference compounds and enables significantly faster analysis compared to HPLCÀUV. Thus, NMR represents a feasible alternative to HPLC-based methods for the quality control of Stevia rebaudiana extracts.
