41 results about "Monatin" patented technology

Monatin, commonly known as arruva, is a naturally occurring, high intensity sweetener isolated from the plant Sclerochiton ilicifolius, found in the Transvaal region of South Africa. Monatin contains no carbohydrate or sugar, and nearly no food energy, unlike sucrose or other nutritive sweeteners.

Crystals of free (2R, 4R)-monatin and use thereof

InactiveUS20050272939A1Superior in pointSuperior in sweetness intensityBiocideOrganic chemistryHigh humidityAdditive ingredient
A crystal of free (2R,4R)-monatin is useful as a sweet substance. The crystals resist absorption of water even under high humidity, are stable and exhibit a high degree of sweetness. Thus, such crystals may used as a sweetening agent or an ingredient thereof, and as an ingredient for imparting sweetness to foods and beverages.

Method for producing monatin

A solution to be treated containing monatin and impurities is treated with a nonpolar resin having aromatic rings, whereby monatin is separated from the solution. Treatment with the nonpolar resin having aromatic rings results in efficient separation of monatin under a mild pH condition.

Novel aldolase, and method for producing optically active IHOG and monatin

The present invention relates to a method for producing optically active IHOG, which can in turn be used for the production of monatin. The present invention further relates to a method for producing optically active monatin, and aldolase used for these methods. As such, the present invention enables the synthesis of 4-(Indole-3-ylmethyl)-4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutaric acid with high optical purity, which is useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of optically active monatin, from indole pyruvic acid and pyruvic acid (or oxaloacetic acid).

Process for manufacturing a glutamic acid derivative and a pyroglutamic acid derivative and a novel intermediate in the manufacture thereof

Glutamic acid derivatives, in particular monatin, may be conveniently prepared by alkylating a 4-protected hydroxyl pyroglutamic acid derivative with an alkylating agent to prepare a 4-protected hydroxyl-4-alkylglutamic acid derivative, followed by the steps of hydrolysis and deprotection. The 4-protected hydroxyl pyroglutamic acid derivative is easy to produce from hydroxyproline. The 4-protected hydroxyl pyroglutamic acid derivative is particularly suitable for use in the efficient manufacture of monatin of high optical purity, since it can be alkylated selectively at the 4-position and stereoselectively and after its alkylation, it can easily be converted to a glutamic acid derivative.

Organic amine salts of glutamic acid derivatives and their application

The present invention provides an organic amine salt of monatin, or crystal form thereof, and its application as well as a method for resolving the stereoisomers of monatin by forming its salt. The present invention further provides a salt form of monatin that is useful as a sweetening agent or as the active ingredient of a sweetener. The present invention also provides a method for preparing a salt of a particular stereoisomer of monatin with an organic amine by utilizing the difference of crystallinity or solubility of the salt of the stereoisomer of monatin with the organic amine. The present invention also relates to a use of the salt in a method for preparing a metal salt of monatin in which the organic amine is replaced by a metal such as sodium, potassium, or the like.

Mutated D-aminotransferase and method for producing optically active glutamic acid derivatives using the same

A D-aminotransferase can be modified so as to efficiently produce (2R, 4R)-monatin having high sweetness intensity from 4-(indol-3-ylmethyl)-4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutaric acid by substituting an amino acid at least at one of positions (positions 100, 180 to 183,243 and 244) involved in efficiently producing the (2R, 4R)-monatin in an amino acid sequence of a wild-type D-aminotransferase represented in SEQ ID NO:2.

Beverage products with non-nutritive sweetener and bitterant

Aspects of the invention relate to beverage compositions, including, for example, concentrated and ready-to-drink formulations sweetened with at least one non-nutritive sweetener and further including a bitterant compound in an amount sufficient to reduce the lingering sweet aftertaste of the non-nutritive sweetener(s). In certain illustrative embodiments, the non-nutritive sweetener(s) may be one or more of the following: a steviol glycoside, Lo Han Guo, thaumatin, monatin, monellin, brazzein, sucralose. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method that combines a non-nutritive sweetener having a lingering sweet aftertaste with a bitterant compound to create a mixture such that when the mixture is contained in a beverage, the bitterant compound is present in an amount sufficient to reduce the lingering sweet aftertaste of the non-nutritive sweetener.
