Description
STABLE ELECTROLYTE MATERIAL AND SOLVENT MATERIAL CONTAINING SAME BACKGROUND The present invention relates to compositions that can be integrated into food products to enhance the flavor of the associated food products.
A variety of food preparation and/or preservation processes are employed in which foods are ed for consumption at a later time. When employed with various vegetables, fruits, juices and liquid compositions, these packaging processes can e various forms of canning, freezing, g, pickling, smoking and the like. Additionally, various foods can be processed cured prior to refrigerated, frozen or other forms of storage.
Non-limiting examples of such food processing technologies include pasteurization, addition of artificial food additives, irradiation and the like. Such ses can alter the inherent flavor of one or more ingredients of the food being ved.
It is desirable to provide a fuller richer taste to foodstuffs, beverages, oral care products and the like. It is also ble to provide foodstuff, beverages and oral care products having a fuller and richer taste.
SUMMARY It has been unexpectedly discovered that a substance having the following chemical structure: d ë�� (ë?5) + (�� 2 6�� )ìh �� wherein x is an odd integer ≥ 3; y is an integer between 1 and 20; and Z is a polyatomic ion or monoatomic ion can be used advantageously to e the taste of food stuffs, beverages, ceuticals and oral care products. The taste improving substances according to the present invention are particularly useful in a wide variety of applications including savory food, non-savory food, such as dairy, beverages, fruits and vegetables and their associated dishes and confectionery, as well as ceutics, and oral care products.
It has also been found, quite unexpectedly that a solution that is composed of the compound d ë�� (ë?5) + (�� 6�� )ìh �� wherein x is an odd integer ≥ 3; y is an integer between 1 and 20; and Z is a polyatomic ion or monoatomic ion; and a solvent can be incorporated in to various als to improve the taste of foodstuffs, ges, pharmaceutics, and oral care ts.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present disclosure is ated on the unexpected discovery that the electrolyte oxonium ion complexes as disclosed herein when employed in various food compositions can enhance the flavor of the associated food stuff, beverage, pharmaceutical or oral care product can enhance the flavor panel of the ated material and/or increase the preservative nature of the of the composition. The electrolyte can be t in an amount between 0.01 wt% to 30 wt% in certain embodiments.
The electrolyte that can be employed in is broadly construed as an oxonium ionderived complex. As defined herein "oxonium ion complexes" are generally defined as positive oxygen cations having at least one trivalent oxygen bond. In certain embodiments the oxygen cation will exist in aqueous solution as a population predominantly composed of one, two and three trivalently bonded oxygen cations present as a mixture of the aforesaid cations or as material having only one, two or three trivalently bonded oxygen s. Nonlimiting examples of oxonium ions having trivalent oxygen cations can include at least one of hydronium ions.
It is contemplated that the in certain embodiments the oxygen cation will exist in aqueous solution as a population predominantly composed of one, two and three trivalently bonded oxygen anions present as a mixture of the aforesaid anions or as material having only one, two or three trivalently bonded oxygen anions.
When the nd as disclosed herein is admixed with a solvent such as an aqueous or organic solvent, the ing material includes a solution that can be composed of hydronium ions, hydronium ion complexes and es of the same. The composition of matter and solutions that contain the same have utility in s food and ingestable compositions either where low pH values are desirable and/or where flavor enhancement is desired.
It has been theorized that extreme trace amounts of cationic hydronium may spontaneously form in water from water molecules in the presence of hydrogen ions. Without being bound to any theory, it is believed that naturally occurring hydronium ions are extremely rare. The concentration of naturally occurring hydronium ions in water is estimated to be no more than 1 in 0,000. If they occur at all, hydronium ion compounds are extremely unstable. It is also theorized that naturally occurring hydronium ions are unstable transient species with lifespans typically in the range of nanoseconds. Naturally occurring hydronium ion s are reactive and are readily solvated by water and as such these hydronium ions (hydrons) do not exist in a free state.
When introduced into pure water, the stable hydronium material disclosed herein is one that will remain identifiable. It is believed that the stable hydronium material disclosed herein can complex with water molecules to form hydration cages of various geometries, non-limiting examples of which will be described in greater detail subsequently. The stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein, when introduced into a polar t such as an aqueous solution is stable and can be ed from the ated solvent as desired or required.
Conventional strong c and inorganic acids such as those having a pKa ≥ 1.74 , when added to water, will ionize completely in the aqueous solution. The ions so generated will protonate existing water molecules to form H3O+ and associate stable rs.
Weaker acids, such as those having a pKa <1.74 , when added to water, will achieve less than complete ionization in aqueous solution but can have utility in certain ations.
Thus it is contemplated that the acid material employed to produce the stable electrolyte material can be a ation of one or more acids. In certain embodiments, the acid material will include at least one acid having a pKa greater than or equal to 1.74 in combination with weaker acids(s).
In the present disclosure, it has been found quite unexpectedly that the stable hydronium electrolyte material as defined , when added to an aqueous solution, will produce a polar solvent and provide and effective pKa which is dependent on the amount of stable hydronium material added to the corresponding solution independent of the hydrogen ion tration originally t in that solution. The resulting solution can function as a polar solvent and can have an effective pKa between 0 and 5 in certain applications when the initial solution pH prior to addition of the stable hydronium material is between 6 and 8.
It is also contemplated that the stable electrolye material as disclosed herein can be added to solutions having an initial pH in the alkaline range, for example between 8 and 12 to effectively adjust the pH of the ing solvent and/or the effective or actual pKa of the resulting solution. Addition of the stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein can be added to an alkaline solution without perceivable reactive properties including, but not d to, rmicity, oxidation or the like.
The y of theoretical hydronium ions existing in water as a result of aqueous auto-dissociation is the implicit standard used to judge the strength of an acid in water.
Strong acids are considered better proton donors than the theoretical hydronium ion material otherwise a icant portion of acid would exist in a non-ionized state. As indicated previously, theoretical hydronium ions derived from aqueous auto-dissociation are unstable as a species, random in occurrence and believed to exist, if at all in extreme low concentration in the associated aqueous solution. Generally, hydronium ions in aqueous solution are present in concentrations between less than 1 in 480,000,000 and can be isolated, if at all, from native aqueous solution via solid or liquid phase organosynthesis as monomers attached to a superacid solution in structures such as HF-SbF5SO2. Such materials can be isolated only in extremely low concentration and decompose readily upon isolation.
In contrast, the stable hydronium material as sed herein, provides a source of concentrated hydronium ions that are long g and can be subsequently isolated from solution if desired or required.
In certain embodiments, the composition of matter, has the following al d ë�� (ë?5) + (�� 2 6�� )�� h �� wherein x is an odd r between 3-11; y is an integer between 1 and 10; and Z is a polyatomic or monoatomic ion.
The polyatomic ion Z can be derived from an ion that is derived from an acid having the ability to donate one or more protons. The associated acid can be one that would have a pKa values ≥ 1.7 at 23°C . The polyatomic ion Z employed can be one having a charge of +2 or r. Non-limiting examples of such polyatomic ions include sulfate ions, carbonate ions, phosphate ions, oxalate ions, te ions, mate ions, pyrophosphate ions and mixtures f. In n embodiments, it is contemplated that the polyatomic ion can be derived from mixtures that include polyatomic ions that include ions derived from acids having pKa values ≤ 1.7.
The stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein is stable at standard temperature and pressure and can exist as an oily liquid. The stable electrolyte material can be added to water or other polar solvent to produce a polar solution that contains an effective concentration of stable hydronium ion that is greater than 1 part per million. In certain embodiments the stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein can e an effective concentration stable hydronium ion material concentrations greater than between 10 and 100 parts per million when admixed with a suitable aqueous or organic t.
It has been found, quite unexpectedly, that the hydroniun ion complexes present in on present as a result of the addition of the stable electrolyte material sed herein alter the acid functionality of the resulting t material without a concomitant change in the free acid to total acid ratio. The alteration in acid functionality can include characteristics such as change in measured pH, s in free-to-total acid ratio, changes in specific y and rheology. Changes in spectral and chromatography output are also noted as compared to the incumbent acid materials used in production of the stable electrolyte material containing the initial hydronium ion complex. on of the stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein results in changes in pKa which do not correlate to the changes ed in free-tototal acid ratio.
Thus the addition of the stable hydronium electrolyte material as disclosed herein to an aqueous solution having an intial pH between 6 and 8 results in a on having an effective pKa between 0 to 5. It is also to be understood that pKa of the resulting solution can and a value less than zero as when measured by a l electrode, specific ion ORP probe.
As used herein the term "effective pKa" is a measure of the total available ium ion concentration present in the resulting solvent. Thus it is le that pH and/or associated pKa of a material when measured may have a numeric value represented between -3 and 7.
Typically, the pH of a solution is a measure of its proton concentration or as the inverse tion of the -OH moiety. It is believed that the stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein, when introduced into a polar solution, facilitates at least partial coordination of hydrogen protons with the hydronium ion electrolyte material and/or its associated lattice or cage. As such, the introduced stable hydronium ion exists in a state that permits selective functionality of the introduced hydrogen associated with the hydrogen ion.
More specifically, the stable electrolyte material as disclosed herein can have the general a: BÁãÈã7-CZy x is an odd integer ≥ 3; y is an integer between 1 and 20; and Z is one of a monoatomic ion from Groups 14 through 17 having a charge between -1 and -3 or a poly atomic ion having a charge between -1 and -3.
In the composition of matter as disclosed herein, monatomic tuents that can be employed as Z include Group 17 halides such as fluoride, chloride, iodide and bromide; Group 15 materials such as nitrides and phosphides and Group 16 als such as oxides and es.

It is contemplated that the composition of matter can be composed of a single one to the materials listed above or can be a combination of one or more of the compounds listed.
It is also contemplated that, in certain embodiments, x is an integer between 3 and 9, with x being an integer between 3 and 6 in some embodiments.

The ition of matter as disclosed herein can have the following formula, in certain embodiments: BÁãÈã7-CZy x is an odd integer between 3 and 12; y is an integer between 1 and 20; and Z is one of a group 14 h 17 monoatomic ion having a charge between -1 and -3 or a poly atomic ion having a charge between -1 and -3 as outlined above. With some embodiments having x between 3 and 9 and y being an integer between 1 and 5.
It is contemplated that the composition of matter exists as an isomeric distribution in which the value x is an average distribution of integers greater than 3 favoring integers between 3 and 10.
The ition of matter as disclosed herein can be formed by the addition of a suitable inorganic hydroxide to a suitable inorganic acid.

The inorganic acid can be either a monoatomic acid or a polyatomic acid.
The inorganic acid employed can be homogenous or can be a mixture of various acid compounds that fall within the defined parameters. It is also contemplated that the acid may be a mixture that includes one or more acid compounds that fall outside the contemplated ters but in combination with other materials will provide an average acid composition value in the range specified.

In the process as disclosed herein, the acid material of choice may be a concentrated acid with an average molarity (M) of at least 7 or above. In certain procedures, the average molarity will be at least 10 or above; with an average molarity between 7 and 10 being useful in certain applications. The acid material of choice ed may exist as a pure liquid, a liquid slurry or as an aqueous solution of the dissolved acid in essentially concentrated form.
Suitable acid materials can be either aqueous or non-aqueous materials. Nonlimiting examples of suitable acid materials can include one or more of the following: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, chloric acid, perchloric acid, c acid, sulfuric acid, ganoic acid, prussic acid, bromic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, iodic acid, fluoboric acid, fluosilicic acid, fluotitanic acid.
In certain embodiments, the d volume of a liquid concentrated strong acid employed can be sulfuric acid having a specific gravity between 55° and 67° baume. This material can be placed in the reaction vessel and mechanically agitated at a ature between 16° and 70°C.
In certain ic applications of the method disclosed, a measured, defined quantity of suitable hydroxide material can be added to an agitating acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid, that is present in the non-reactive vessel in a measured, defined amount. The amount of hydroxide that is added will be that sufficient to produce a solid material that is present in the ition as a precipitate and/or a suspended solids or colloidal suspension. The hydroxide material employed can be a water-soluble or partially water-soluble inorganic hydroxide. Partially water-soluble hydroxides employed in the process as disclosed herein will generally be those which exhibit miscibility with the acid material to which they are added. Non-limiting examples of suitable partially water-soluble inorganic hydroxides will be those that exhibit at least 50% miscibility in the associated acid.
The inorganic hydroxide can be either anhydrous or hydrated.
Non-limiting es of water soluble inorganic hydroxides include water soluble alkali metal ides, alkaline earth metal hydroxides and rare earth ides; either alone or in combination with one another. Other hydroxides are also considered to be within the purview of this disclosure. "Water-solubility" as the term is d in conjunction with the hydroxide material that will be employed is defined a material ting dissolution characteristics of 75% or greater in water at standard temperature and pressure. The hydroxide that is utilized typically is a liquid material that can be introduced into the acid material. The hydroxide can be introduced as a true solution, a suspension or a saturated slurry. It certain embodiments, it is contemplated that the concentration of the inorganic hydroxide in aqueous solution can be dependent on the concentration of the ated acid to which it is introduced. Non-limiting examples of suitable concentrations for the hydroxide material are hydroxide concentrations greater than 5 to 50% of a 5 mole material.
Suitable hydroxide materials include, but are not limited to, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, calcium ide, strontium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and/or silver hydroxide.
Inorganic hydroxide solutions when employed may have concentration of inorganic ide between 5 and 50% of a 5 mole material, with concentration between 5 and 20% being employed in certain applications. The inorganic hydroxide material, in certain ses, can be calcium hydroxide in a suitable aqueous on such as is present as slaked lime.
In the process as disclosed, the nic hydroxide in liquid or fluid form is introduced into the agitating acid material in one or more metered s over a defined interval to provide a defined resonance time. The resonance time in the process as outlined is considered to be the time interval ary to promote and provide the environment in which the hydronium ion material as disclosed herein develops. The nce time interval as employed in the process as disclosed herein is typically between 12 and 120 hours with resonance time intervals between 24 and 72 hours and increments therein being utilized in certain applications.
In various applications of the process, the inorganic hydroxide is introduced into the acid at the upper surface of the agitating volume in a plurality of metered s.
Typically, the total amount of inorganic ide material will be introduced as a plurality of measured portions over the resonance time interval. Front loaded metered addition being employed in many ces. "Front loaded metered addition", as the term is used herein, is taken to mean addition of the total hydroxide volume with a greater portion being added during the initial portion of the resonance time. An initial percentage of the desired resonance time.is considered to be between the first 25% and 50% of the total resonance time.
It is to be understood that the proportion of each metered volume that is added can be equal or can vary based on such miting factors as external process conditions, in situ process conditions, specific material teristics, and the like. It is contemplated that the number of metered s can be between 3 and 12. The interval n additions of each metered volume can be between 5 and 60 minutes in certain applications of the process as disclosed. The actual addition interval can be between 60 minutes to five hours in certain applications.
In certain applications of the s, a 100 ml volume of 5% weight per volume of calcium hydroxide material is added to 50 ml of 66° baume concentrated sulfuric acid in 5 metered increments of 2 ml per minute, with or without admixture. Addition of the hydroxide material to the sulfuric acid results produces a material having increasing liquid turbidity. Increasing liquid turbidity is indicative of m sulfate solids as precipitate. The produced calcium sulfate can be removed in a fashion that is coordinated with ued hydroxide addition in order to provide a coordinated concentration of suspended and dissolved solids.
Without being bound to any theory, it is believed that the addition of calcium hydroxide to sulfuric acid in the manner defined herein results in the consumption of the initial hydrogen proton or s associated with the sulfuric acid ing in hydrogen proton oxygenation such that the proton in question is not off-gassed as would be generally ed upon hydroxide addition. Instead, the proton or protons are recombined with ionic water molecule components present in the liquid material.
After the suitable resonance time as defined has passed, the resulting material is subjected to a non-bi-polar magnetic field at a value greater than 2000 gauss; with ic fields great than 2 million gauss being ed in certain applications. It is contemplated that a magnetic field between 10,000 and 2 million gauss can be employed in certain situations. The magnetic field can be produced by various suitable means. One non-limiting example of a le magnetic field generator is found in US 269 to Wurzburger, the specification of which is incorporated by reference herein.
Solid material generated during the process and present as precipitate or suspended solids can be removed by any suitable means. Such removal means include, but need not be limited to, the following: gravimetric, forced filtration, centrifuge, reverse osmosis and the like.
