Additional aspects are provided below.
Detailed Description
The present disclosure describes improved sweetener formulations (or "edible" formulations), and methods for preparing such improved sweetener formulations and using them in food products. Such sweetener formulations comprise one or more vegetable proteins. These sweetener formulations, or the vegetable proteins in the formulations, may exhibit any of a variety of mucoadhesive properties.
The inventors have found that the presence of various proteins in a foodstuff (such as vegetable proteins) may adversely reduce the perceived sweetness of the foodstuff. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the inventors believe that this may be due at least in part to the contribution of such vegetable proteins to unpleasant sensory perception, such as astringency. Thus, it may be desirable to introduce additional amounts of sweetener (e.g., sucrose or fructose) to the food to counteract the detrimental effects of the vegetable protein on the sweetness of the food, the taste of the food, the mouthfeel of the food, etc. This in turn may damage or alter various food properties, including texture and baking properties, such that the formulation of the food and its preparation may require significant modification. This phenomenon may be more severe for pea protein isolates than for various vegetable protein formulations. In particular, pea proteins may adversely affect mouthfeel. Common examples of such vegetable proteins include rice proteins, pea proteins and chickpea proteins.
The inventors have further found that the location of the protein in the food may be critical, at least for the sweetness of the food. In particular, the inventors have found that when proteins such as vegetable proteins are incorporated into sweetener particles, the proteins may not adversely affect the sweetness of the foodstuff. Indeed, the inventors have unexpectedly found that the presence of such proteins/plant proteins in a food may actually enhance the sweetness of the food under certain conditions (e.g., within a particular concentration range of the proteins/plant proteins).
Without wishing to be bound by theory, the inventors believe that the mucoadhesion of the protein to the mucosa (mucosa) or mucosa (mucous membrane) on and in the tongue and mouth may aid in the retention of sweetener carbohydrates and sweetener polyols, resulting in an enhanced and prolonged sweetness perception. This phenomenon occurs or is significantly enhanced when proteins/vegetable proteins are incorporated into the sweetener particles, such that the mucoadhesive adhesion between the mucin-containing mucosa and the proteins in the sweetener particles helps to fix the sweetener particles to the oral mucosa, or at least increases the contact time between the sweetener particles and the oral mucosa. This translates, for example, to increased activation of the sweetness sensor/receptor site on the tongue.
The inventors have further unexpectedly found that in certain low concentration ranges of proteins, such as vegetable proteins, disposed within sweetener particles, the increased mucoadhesion of the proteins appears to far offset various protein properties that adversely affect taste (including perceived sweetness). These deleterious properties include increased viscosity of the food (especially reduced dissolution kinetics and resistance to transport of sweetener molecules to the sweetness sensor/receptor site), coverage and blocking of the oral sweetness sensor/receptor site, and non-sweetness of the protein/vegetable protein itself. By far counteracting these deleterious properties, the presence of these proteins within the sweetener particles can impart a significantly enhanced sweetness to the foodstuff.
As will be described in detail below, the inventors have unexpectedly found that while a modest increase in the mucoadhesive properties of a sweetener may result in an increase in sweetness in the sweetener or a food product using such sweetener, a slightly higher increase in the mucoadhesive properties of a sweetener may counterintuitively result in a decrease in sweetness of the sweetener or a food product using such sweetener.
As used herein in the specification and in the appended claims section, the term "mucoadhesive" and the like refer to substances that exhibit affinity for mucin layers that adhere to the mucosal surface of the human tongue by mucoadhesion.
As used herein, the term "sweetener carbohydrate" refers to an edible sweetener having at least one carbohydrate moiety that is processed in the human body to produce energy. This definition is intended to include sweetener carbohydrates having energy values of at least 0.1kcal/g, more typically at least 0.2kcal/g, more typically at least 0.5kcal/g, and still more typically at least 1.0 kcal/g. This definition is specifically intended to include psicose.
The term "sweetener carbohydrate" is specifically intended to exclude high intensity sweeteners such as sucralose, aspartame (aspartame), and acesulfame (acesulfame-K).
The term "sweetener" when used alone is intended to include both sweetener carbohydrates and sweetener polyols.
Sweetener carbohydrates produce sweetness when consumed by a typical human consumer. If on a weight basis, on a normalized sweetness scale with sucrose as standard 1, maltose is about 0.31 and lactose is about 0.22, the term "sweetener carbohydrate" will apply to lactose and to any sugar or other carbohydrate-containing nutritive sweetener having a sweetness in the range of 0.15 to 2.5 according to such normalized sweetness scale. Alternatively, it can be said that the minimum sweetness of sugar or other nutritive sweetener containing carbohydrate will be that of raffinose (raffinose has a sweetness of 0.15 according to the above scale). More typically, the sweetener carbohydrate has a sweetness of at least 0.2, at least 0.23, at least 0.25, at least 0.27, or a sweetness in the range of 0.23 to 2.5, 0.25 to 2.5, 0.35 to 2.5, 0.45 to 2.5, 0.25 to 1.8, 0.25 to 1.5, 0.25 to 1.2, 0.25 to 1.05, 0.25 to 1.0, 0.45 to 1.7, 0.15 to 1.7, or 0.35 to 1.5 according to the normalized sweetness scale.
Notably, fructose reported in the literature has been reported to have a relative sweetness as low as 0.91 and as high as about 1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "sweetener carbohydrate" is intended to include fructose, regardless of any relative sweetness values reported.
As used herein, the term "normalized sweetness scale" refers to a relative sweetness scale that designates sucrose as a value of 1.00 on a weight basis. More specifically, the normalized sweetness scale is according to Moscowitz, h. "Ratio Scales of Sugar Sweetness"; the method disclosed in admission & Psychophysics,1970, volume 7 (5) determines that the power functions of sugars and polyols/sugar alcohols have an exponent of 1.3 (n=1.3) as disclosed in table 3 of said document and provided below.
From the "sugar sweetness ratio scale" (Table 3)
The sweetener carbohydrate may be a monosaccharide or disaccharide. Examples of sweetener carbohydrates include, but are not limited to, sucrose, glucose, maltose, fructose, lactose, or any combination of sweetener carbohydrates. One or more sweetener carbohydrates may be combined with one or more sweetener polyols. Sweetener carbohydrates may be naturally occurring or synthetically produced.
As used herein, the term "sweetener polyol" refers to a consumable polyol that produces sweetness when consumed by a typical human consumer. Non-limiting examples of sweetener polyols include xylitol, maltitol, erythritol, sorbitol, threitol, arabitol, hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysates (HSH), isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, or galactitol (dulcitol). In many cases, the polyol is a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols can be produced from carbohydrates by any known method of reducing an acid or aldehyde to an alcohol (via chemical or biological conversion). In other cases, sweetener polyols may be synthesized from parent carbohydrates. Alternatively, the sweetener polyols may be obtained from biological sources.
For the avoidance of doubt, the term "sweetener polyol" is intended to include any polyol/sugar alcohol having a sweetness in the range of 0.15 to 2.5 according to the normalized sweetness scale described above. More typically, the sweetener polyol has a sweetness in the range of 0.15 to 1.5, 0.15 to 1.0, 0.15 to 0.8, 0.15 to 0.7, 0.20 to 0.7, 0.15 to 0.6, or 0.25 to 0.6 according to the normalized sweetness scale.
Proteins used in accordance with the formulations and methods of the present invention may have various mucoadhesive properties.
Mucoadhesion may generally refer to the attachment of specific macromolecules to the mucin layer of the mucosal surface of the human tongue. The affinity of a mucoadhesive to a mucin layer attached to the mucosal surface of the human tongue can be characterized or quantified by a variety of characterization methods.
As used herein in the specification and in the appended claims sections, the terms "mucoadhesion" (mucoadhesion) and "mucoadhesive" refer to the propensity of a formulation or a particular macromolecule (e.g., various proteins) to adhere to the mucin layer of the mucosal surface of the human tongue.
As used herein in the specification and in the appended claims section, the term "mucoadhesive" and the like refer to substances that exhibit affinity for mucin layers that adhere to the mucosal surface of the human tongue by mucoadhesion.
The mucoadhesive properties of the proteins used in the formulations and methods according to the present invention may have a number of hydrophilic groups, such as amine groups, methoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, etc., which may aid in attachment to mucous membranes or cell membranes through various interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Various physical phenomena including entanglement can promote mucoadhesion.
The sweetener or edible formulation of the present invention may have a characteristically high degree of crystallinity.
In some embodiments, the sweetener in sweetener formulations and food formulations using such sweetener formulations is predominantly crystalline.
In some embodiments, the crystallinity is in the range of 70% to 100%.
In some embodiments, the crystallinity is in the range of 80% to 100%.
In some embodiments, the crystallinity is in the range of 90% to 100%.
In some embodiments, the crystallinity is in the range of 95% to 100%.
Quantification of crystallinity or quantification of the relative amounts of amorphous sweetener versus crystalline sweetener (e.g., as used in the description and appended claims section herein) may be determined by various analytical procedures known to those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, the following analytical procedures:
● X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)
● Isothermal Microcalorimeter (IMC)
● Solution calorimetric method
● Dynamic vapor adsorption (DVS)
● Conventional Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), temperature modulated DSC (MTDSC), high-speed DSC (super-DSC)
● Raman spectroscopy
● Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
● Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR)
● Reversed phase gas chromatography (IGC)
● Density (specific gravity) measurement.
Because highly crystalline sweeteners (sweetener carbohydrates and sweetener polyols) are known to have reduced dissolution kinetics (e.g., in water) relative to their amorphous counterparts, the use of such highly crystalline sweetener carbohydrates and sweetener polyols to enhance sweetness is counter-intuitive. However, the inventors have unexpectedly found that the highly crystalline protein-containing sweetener particles of the present invention can produce a significantly enhanced sweetness perception.
Various types and families of vegetable proteins may be used in the formulations of the present invention.
In some embodiments, the protein is or includes a globular protein.
In some embodiments, the protein is or includes a storage protein.
In some embodiments, the storage protein is or includes a globulin.

In some embodiments, the at least one vegetable protein comprises an integrin, as defined below. Typically, at least one of the vegetable proteins comprises mainly (mainly) or mainly (predominantly) an integrin.
In some embodiments, the at least one vegetable protein consists essentially of an integrin.

In some embodiments, the vegetable protein comprises pea protein.
In some embodiments, the vegetable protein comprises chickpea protein.
In some embodiments, the plant protein comprises lupin protein.
In some embodiments, the vegetable protein comprises mung bean protein.
In some embodiments, the plant protein comprises zein.
In some embodiments, the vegetable protein comprises soy protein.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that proteins can be classified in various ways, typically by their solubility in various media and their sedimentation coefficients. The "units in s Wei Debei (Svedberg Unit)" of a protein or protein family are related to the sedimentation coefficient of the protein or protein family. "Style Wei Debei units" of a protein or protein family are denoted by the symbol S. As used herein in the specification and in the claims section that follows, the term "unit in Wei Debei" and the like are used in a manner known in the art of protein classification.
The osbeck fractionation (Osborne fractionation) involves classifying vegetable proteins according to their extractability and solubility. Vegetable proteins can be classified into four classes according to their respective solubilities in water, salt solutions, alcohol/water mixtures and alkaline solutions: albumin, globulin, prolamine and gluten.
Albumin of the albumin class and family is generally characterized as a water-soluble (osbeck-based fractionation) globular protein that can be coagulated by heat. In plants, albumin is usually present in the form of 2S storage albumin, depending on the sedimentation coefficient. 2S albumin is mainly present in legumes and soy proteins. As a storage protein, albumin is deposited in the protein bodies of developing seeds and is used as a nutrient source (amino acids and carbon skeleton) by plants during subsequent germination and seedling growth. The amino acid composition of 2S albumin from many plant species typically has a high content of sulfur-containing water-soluble amino acids.
Globulins are a class of globular storage proteins, generally having a higher molecular weight than albumin. Globulin is soluble in dilute salt solutions but is substantially insoluble in water. Globulins may be the predominant or dominant protein in a variety of legumes such as peas, chickpeas, lupins, and soybeans. They are present not only in dicotyledonous plants but also in various monocotyledonous plants, gymnosperms and ferns. Plant globulins can be classified into 7-8S, 11-12S and 15S families according to sedimentation coefficients. The 7S globulins are commonly referred to as pisiform globulins (or "pisiform family"), the 8S may be referred to as conglycinin-type globulins (or "conglycinin family"), and the 11-12S globulins may be referred to as leguminous globulins (or "leguminous family").
Prolamin class and family proteins are storage proteins and zein found primarily in seeds of gramineous plants such as rice. Prolamines are soluble in ethanol/water and may be substantially insoluble in water. Gluten is sometimes considered to be prolamine, the most abundant storage protein in rice, and is considered to have homology to the legumain family. Gluten, which typically accumulates in the endosperm, may be substantially insoluble in the saline solution, but soluble in dilute acidic and alkaline media.
For the avoidance of doubt, these terms (e.g. "globulin class", "pea globulin", "conglycinin family", "legumain family", etc.) are intended to be used as understood by those skilled in the art of protein classification.
Table 1 provides general classifications of various plant protein categories and families, as well as various quantitative examples of protein distribution (on a weight basis) in various common plant products.
TABLE 1
In the food formulation of the present invention, edible filler materials are typically used to supplement the reduced amount of sugar in the food formulation of the present invention. In general, the edible filler may be dietary fiber or soluble fiber, such as soluble dietary fiber.
In some embodiments, the edible filler may be or include a polysaccharide, such as levan. In levan, inulin is generally used.
In some embodiments, the edible filler may be or include an oligosaccharide, such as fructooligosaccharide.
In some embodiments, the soluble fiber may be or include resistant maltodextrin, such as soluble corn fiber.
In some embodiments, the soluble fiber may be or include polydextrose.
Sweetener formulations or edible formulations typically do not include siliceous materials such as silica. In some embodiments, the concentration of silicon within the sweetener formulation or the edible formulation is at most 1%, at most 0.5%, at most 0.2%, at most 0.1%, at most 0.05%, at most 0.02%, at most 0.01%, at most 0.005%, or at most 0.003%. Typically, the concentration of silicon in the sweetener formulation or the edible formulation is at most 0.002%, at most 0.001%, or the formulation is free of silicon.
Examples
Reference is now made to the following examples, which together with the above description illustrate the invention in a non-limiting manner.
Apparatus and method for controlling the operation of a device
Material
Various common materials (sugars, polyols, etc.) are not included in this list.
Example 1: production of protein-sweetener dispersions
The protein and carbohydrate sweetener powders are mixed or blended. The resulting powder mixture was gradually added to water. The desired amount of protein is calculated as a ratio (weight-weight) to carbohydrate sweetener. For example: to prepare a syrup of about 1 kilogram (typically 65 ° Bx) containing 0.1% protein relative to the carbohydrate sweetener, 0.65 grams of protein is mixed with 650 grams of carbohydrate sweetener. This mixture (under constant mixing) is gradually added to 350 grams of water, typically at room temperature. The mixing vessel is stirred using an overhead stirrer, typically at 50-800RPM for at least 45 minutes, or a high shear mixer for at least 7 minutes (up to 10,000RPM for IKA; up to 5,000RPM for Silverson) until the protein is completely dispersed.
For proteins that are more difficult to disperse, the water fraction may be preheated.
Example 2: production of protein-sweetener dispersions-complete dispersion
Concentrated sweetener syrups containing one or more carbohydrate sweeteners and/or one or more polyol (typically sugar alcohol) sweeteners are prepared from room temperature to in some cases up to 80 ℃ before adding the protein. The default temperature is 60 ℃ for sucrose and any other disaccharides, and 70 ℃ for other sweetener substances. For most carbohydrate sweeteners and polyol sweeteners, the concentration is about 65wt%. Some lower solubility sweeteners may require higher water concentrations and/or temperatures in order to dissolve completely. The protein is then added stepwise or instantaneously with constant mixing. Once the protein addition has been completed, the mixing vessel is either continuously stirred using an overhead stirrer, typically at 50-800RPM, for at least 45 minutes, or continuously stirred using a high shear mixer for at least 7 minutes (up to 10,000RPM for IKA; up to 5,000RPM for Silverson) until the protein is completely dispersed.
The syrup is heated, if necessary, to promote dispersion of the proteins.
Example 3: production of protein-sweetener dispersions-complete dispersion
The protein is first dispersed in water. In some cases, it may be desirable to disperse (e.g., gradually disperse in hot water) according to manufacturer's instructions. Once the protein is completely dispersed, the sweetener (carbohydrate or polyol) is gradually introduced under constant mixing from room temperature to, in some cases, up to 80 ℃. The default temperature is 60 ℃ for sucrose and any other disaccharides, and 70 ℃ for other sweetener substances. Mixing may be by an overhead stirrer (50-800 RPM for at least 45 minutes) or by a high shear mixer (up to 10,000RPM for at least 7 minutes when IKA is used; up to 5,000RPM for at least 7 minutes when Silverson is used).
Thus, to prepare about one kilogram of a carbohydrate or polyol sweetener syrup containing about 65% carbohydrate sweetener and 0.1% protein relative to the carbohydrate sweetener, 0.65 grams of protein is first dispersed in 350 grams of water. Subsequently, 650 grams of carbohydrate sweetener was gradually added to the protein dispersion to produce a syrup.
Example 4: production of protein-sweetener dispersions- -partial Dispersion
Partial dispersion of the protein can be achieved intentionally. Concentrated sweetener syrups (carbohydrates or polyols) were prepared as described in example 2 prior to adding the protein. The protein is then added in a transient or substantially transient manner, without mixing or gentle mixing, typically up to about 1 minute, in order to intentionally create small aggregates. In this way, a concentrated syrup containing partially dispersed proteins is produced.
In such "partial dispersion" procedures, it may be desirable to deviate from the dispersion specifications of the protein manufacturer in order to mitigate dispersion.
Example 5: production of dry powders from concentrated syrups
Concentrated syrup (e.g., produced in any of the above examples) was transferred to a heated, double jacketed vessel of a vacuum dryer (e.g., stephan). The vessel is heated (typically 60 ℃ -70 ℃) and maintained under vacuum (typically 50-300 mbar) and mixed constantly in order to evaporate the water, typically at a low evaporation rate, to produce a predominantly or substantially 100% crystalline product. Optionally, the powder may be transferred to an oven operating at 65 ℃ for further drying for several hours or overnight.
Example 6: size reduction of protein-sweetener powders
Protein-sweetener particles typically in powder form (e.g., as produced in example 5) can optionally undergo size reduction. Depending on the particular protein or proteins in the concentrate, the protein-sweetener powder may be milled to produce a fine powder with a D50 typically in the range of 75 to 300 microns.
Example 6A: use of sweetener compositions to produce edible formulations
The protein-sweetener formulation (e.g., produced as in example 3 and crystallized as in example 5) is added as one ingredient along with the other ingredients and may be mixed and optionally further processed (e.g., baked) to produce an edible (food) formulation (e.g., cake, muffin, cookie).

Example 118A
Typically, the reduced sugar hazelnut puree of the invention of type II contains about 41% less sugar relative to a type I "whole sugar" control hazelnut puree. For this exemplary case, the type II hazelnut puree and type III hazelnut puree were formulated to contain about (100% -41.2%) ·49% =28.8 wt.% sugar. The inulin content of hazelnut paste is about 20.2wt.% (49% -29.4%).
Example 118B
Essentially as in the case of the hazelnut puree provided above, in many cases the reduced sugar hazelnut puree of the invention of form II may contain reduced sugar in an amount other than typically about a 40% reduction. For example, but not exhaustive, the type II hazelnut puree may contain 50% less sugar, 35% less sugar, 20% less sugar, or 10% less sugar. For comparison purposes only, the type II hazelnut puree contained at least 10% less sugar than the type I "whole sugar" control hazelnut puree.
Example 119: sensory evaluation
Exemplary sweeteners or edible formulations (e.g., muffins, butter cookies, and hazelnut pastes) may be evaluated by trained sensory panelists using a pairwise comparison test. The paired comparison test is a two-product blind test, and the panelist's task is to select/indicate the sweeter of the two products or samples (Sensory Evaluation Practices, 4 th edition, stone, bleibaum, thomas edit). Analysis of the results using a binomial distribution table enabled the sensory scientist to determine whether the perceived differences between the samples were statistically significant.
The comparative sweetness index (Comparative Sweetness Index) can be calculated from the pair-wise comparative test results compiled from all panelists. For example, if 10 of the 17 panelists selected the product of the invention as the sweetner, while the other 7 panelists selected the comparison or control product, the Comparative Sweetness Index (CSI) would be calculated as:
csi= (10/17) ·100=58.8=59 (rounding)
Example 119A
Another sensory method for evaluating samples is differential amplitude estimation (DME). Here, each panelist tasted two samples, selected the sweetest sample, and selected the difference in sweetness according to the following list:
● No difference at all
● Very small differences
● Small differences
● Moderate difference
● Large difference
● Great difference
Each selection was assigned a value of 0 to 5 ("0" means "no difference at all") and the average value of the group was calculated. When a protein-containing sample of the invention is indicated as sweeter, the value is considered positive and vice versa). In general, the difference is at most ±1.0 (i.e., within an absolute value of 1), and in some cases at most ±0.8 or ±0.5 is considered insignificant (i.e., the sweetness of the samples is substantially the same). The differences were not significant considered to be good results for the inventive formulation versus the control formulation.

Example 129: tensile strength/peel force-texture analysis
The mucoadhesive properties of the sweetener formulations were evaluated by peel testing using a ta.xtplus texture analyzer. The effect of various mucoadhesive plant protein species on the adhesion properties of sweetener formulations at various concentrations was also studied.
Materials and methods
Before the peel test was performed, the following steps were performed: tablets were prepared from sugar samples, artificial saliva buffer was prepared, and fresh pig tongues were cut into 30mm X30 mm pieces, approximately 20mm thick. Tongue tissue was frozen at-20 ℃. Prior to testing, tongue tissue was heated to 37 ℃ for 5 minutes. For artificial saliva, solutions were prepared according to the following composition (table 4):
Table 4: artificial saliva composition
NaHCO3 | 2.5mM |
KCl | 10mM |
NaCl | 7.4mM |
CaCl2 | 1.5mM |
NaH2PO4 | 5.8mM |
Tablet preparation
Tablets made from the various sweetener samples provided above were prepared for peel testing using a Tableting MINIPRESS MII machine. The "dry mix" sample was ground and mixed with magnesium stearate (as a lubricant) at 2w/w% in a roller mixer for 2 minutes. The mixture was introduced MINIPRESS and compressed with an 11mm upper punch penetration to produce a flat tablet. Sweetener samples produced according to example 3 and further processed according to example 5 (including further drying overnight) were pressed with a 7.5-9mm lower upper punch penetration. The preparation rate in the automated mode was about 40 tablets/min for all samples. The diameter of the tablet was 10mm.
Peel test
The cut pig tongue was secured between the plastic platform and the cover with four screw presses. A hole (13 mm in diameter) provided in the middle of the cap brings the tablet into tongue contact. The plastic platform and pig tongue arrangement were kept in an artificial saliva solution at a constant temperature of 37 ℃. Sweetener tablets were attached to Texture Analyzer (TA) probes (cylinders) by double-sided tape. The following procedure was used for measurement: the probe is lowered at a constant rate with the tablet until a predetermined force is applied for a fixed contact time with the tongue tissue. Once completed, the probe and tablet were lifted and the (maximum) peel force (F max) and work of peel (area between curve and x-axis, also referred to as "total work of adhesion") were recorded for each sweetener tablet. The entire process was controlled by a TA adhesion test stand using the settings provided in table 5.

As used herein, the peel test procedure described above is referred to as a "standard peel test".
Using the apparatus and procedure disclosed in example 129, tablets of various sweetener samples were evaluated to determine the maximum peel force and work of peel.
In some embodiments, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation, as characterized by the maximum peel force, is greater than the mucoadhesion of a control composition (i.e., a formulation that does not contain a vegetable protein, but is otherwise identical in both composition and method of preparation to the sweetener formulation). Typically, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation as characterized by the maximum peel force (or by the maximum peel force assay (F D-D) defined below) is at least 1%, at least 1.5%, at least 2%, at least 3% or at least 4%, and in some cases at least 5%, at least 7%, at least 10%, at least 12% or at least 15% greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition.
The inventors have further found that at relatively high mucoadhesive levels (e.g., as characterized by at least one of maximum peel force and work of peel), the presence of vegetable proteins may actually be detrimental to the sweetness of the food or formulation, as perceived by taste testing.
Thus, in some embodiments, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation, as characterized by the maximum peel force (or by F D-D), is at most 200%, at most 150%, at most 100%, at most 80%, and more typically at most 60%, at most 50%, at most 40%, at most 35%, or at most 30% greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition.

In some embodiments, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation as characterized by work of exfoliation (or by work of exfoliation (W D) as defined below) is greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition (i.e., formulation that does not contain a vegetable protein as described above, but is otherwise identical in both composition and method of preparation to the sweetener formulation). Typically, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation as characterized by work of exfoliation is at least 1%, at least 1.5%, at least 2%, at least 3%, at least 5%, at least 7%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40% or at least 45% greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition.
In some embodiments, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation as characterized by work of exfoliation (or by W D) is at most 200%, at most 150%, at most 125%, at most 110%, at most 100%, at most 90%, at most 80%, at most 70%, at most 60%, or at most 50% greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition.
In some embodiments, the mucoadhesion of the sweetener formulation as characterized by work of exfoliation (or by W D) is greater than the mucoadhesion of the control composition by a value in the range of 10% to 150%, 10% to 125%, 10% to 100%, 10% to 80%, 20% to 150%, 20% to 125%, 20% to 100%, 20% to 80%, 30% to 150%, 30% to 125%, 30% to 100%, 30% to 80%, 40% to 150%, 40% to 125%, 40% to 100%, 40% to 80%, 50% to 150%, 50% to 125%, 50% to 100%, or 50% to 90%.

Example 130: rheological characterization of mucoadhesion
The mucoadhesive properties of various plant protein species were characterized using rheological measurements. It is well known that the rheological behaviour of mixtures containing mucoadhesive plant proteins and mucins can be significantly affected by chemical interactions, conformational changes and chain interlocks between the two substances. Rheology techniques are used to study the deformation of materials under shear and their flow behavior. This measurement allows monitoring the interactions between polymers (Hassan and Gallo, 1990). The interaction between mucoadhesive plant proteins and mucins is manifested as an increase in viscosity such that the viscosity of the mixture exceeds the sum of the viscosities of mucins and plant proteins alone. Thus, by measuring the viscosity alone and the viscosity of the mucin-vegetable protein mixture, the mucoadhesive force between mucin and vegetable protein can be characterized according to the following equation:
ηt=ηm+ηp+ηb
Where ηt is the total (measured) viscosity of the system (mixture), ηb is the bioadhesive viscosity component (viscosity enhancement), and ηm and ηp are the viscosities of the individual measured mucin and polysaccharide monocomponent dispersions, respectively.
A 2wt% dispersion of each vegetable protein in distilled water was prepared and gently mixed for 3 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions. The dried mucin was hydrated with distilled water (sufficient to make a 10wt% dispersion) by gentle stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, followed by sonication for 10 minutes (at room temperature). The mucin solution was then gently stirred for 2 hours to yield a 10wt% mucin dispersion. Equal amounts of each vegetable protein dispersion and 10wt% mucin dispersion were mixed to give final concentrations of 1wt% vegetable protein and 5wt% mucin for each mixed dispersion. All mixture systems were kept at 37 ℃ for 1 hour to reach equilibrium prior to analysis.
All measurements were made using an Anton Paar MRC92 rheometer with a Peltier temperature cell: C-PTD 180/AIR, rotary hammers (CC 27 concentric cylinders) and fixed cups (C-CC 27/SS/AIR) of diameter 28.992 mm. Each sample formulation was allowed to stand for an additional 2 minutes prior to measurement. The measurements were carried out at 37℃with a shear rate in the range between 0.1 and 350s -1 (logarithmic ramp).
Measurements of each vegetable protein (1 wt%) dispersion and 5wt% mucin dispersion were performed to obtain individual viscosities (ηp, ηm). The enhanced viscosity (bioadhesion) of each vegetable protein-mucin was then calculated according to the equation provided above.
The mucoadhesive properties of the various samples were characterized using the rheology apparatus and method provided in example 130.
It was found that a particular plant protein species can be considered mucoadhesive or mucoadhesive if the bioadhesive viscosity component (ηb) is at least 3 mPa-s at a concentration of 1% plant protein as measured according to the standard procedure of example 130. More typically, ηb is at least 5mpa·s, at least 7mpa·s or at least 10mpa·s. As used herein in the specification and in the claims section that follows, such mucoadhesion assays (i.e., whether a plant protein is considered mucoadhesive or mucoadhesive) are referred to as "standard rheology assays".
Typically, this bioadhesive viscosity component (. Eta.b) is in the range 2-400mPa·s、2.5-400mPa·s、2-350mPa·s、2.5-350mPa·s、3-400mPa·s、3-350mPa·s、3-300mPa·s、3-250mPa·s、3-200mPa·s、3-150mPa·s、4-400mPa·s、4-350mPa·s、4-300mPa·s、4-250mPa·s、5-400mPa·s、5-350mPa·s、5-300mPa·s、5-250mPa·s、5-200mPa·s、5-150mPa·s、6-400mPa·s、6-350mPa·s、6-300mPa·s、6-200mPa·s、6-150mPa·s、7-200mPa·s、7-150mPa·s、8-200mPa·s、8-150mPa·s、10-200mPa·s、10-150mPa·s、10-100mPa·s、12-200mPa·s、12-150mPa·s、15-200mPa·s、15-150mPa·s、20-200mPa·s、20-150mPa·s or 20-100 mPa.s.

As used herein in the specification and in the claims section that follows, the term "bioadhesive content of vegetable protein" etc. in relation to a vegetable protein containing formulation refers to the actual concentration (C Actual practice is that of ) of at least one vegetable protein species disposed within the sweetener particles of the formulation, which is sufficient to achieve a bioadhesive viscosity increase (Δη PS) of at least 1.0 mPa-s, wherein the bioadhesive viscosity component (ηb) is measured at 1% vegetable protein concentration according to the standard procedure of example 130, and then applied linearly to obtain Δη PS using a coefficient K Concentration of (in%) based on the actual concentration (C Actual practice is that of ) of at least one vegetable protein species disposed within the sweetener particles of the formulation:
