The present invention relates generally to sweetener compositions
comprising non-caloric or low-caloric high-potency sweeteners and methods
for making and using them. In particular, the present invention relates
to different sweetener compositions comprising at least one non-caloric
or low-caloric natural and/or synthetic high-potency sweetener, at least
one sweet taste improving composition, and at least one preservative. The
present invention also relates to sweetener compositions and methods that
can improve the tastes of non-caloric or low-caloric natural and/or
synthetic, high-potency sweeteners by imparting a more sugar-like taste
or characteristic. In particular, the sweetener compositions and methods
provide a more sugar-like temporal profile, including sweetness onset and
sweetness linger, and/or a more sugar-like flavor profile.
