Described is a process for producing one or more tastands including food, chewing gum, beverage (e.g., coffee, milk, cocoa and citrus/whey protein), oral care composition (e.g., toothpaste and mouthwash) and tobacco additives from Saccharum officinarum leaves (sugarcane leaves) by means of carrying out one or more physical separation unit operations on a plurality of such leaves, macerates thereof or mixtures of leaves and macerates thereof whereby one or more natural food, chewing gum, beverage, oral care composition or tobacco additives is separated and isolated from the remainder of the plurality of leaves, macerates thereof or mixtures of leaves and macerates thereof. Such unit operations include pressurization using hydraulic press means, steam distillation, fractional distillation, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, volatile solvent extraction and/or charcoal column separation means. Also described is apparatus for carrying out such processes as well as the products produced using such processes and organoleptic uses of such products. Also described are compositions comprising (a) such tastands in admixture with (b) an eatable having a bitter and/or metallic taste. The eatable is any ingested material taken by mammals, such as foodstuffs, beverages, chewing gums, non-calorie food components or medicines including bitter chocolate or a drug such as ibuprofen. Also described are processes for augmenting, enhancing or imparting flavors in or to foodstuffs, chewing gums and beverages by adding thereto the aforementioned tastand taken alone or combined with a solid water-soluble carrier (as prepared using spray drying or freeze drying process steps) and other additives, including nutritional supplements such as calcium glycerophosphate.
Also described are smoking tobacco compositions and articles comprising smoking tobacco and intimately admixed therewith an aroma or taste augmenting, enhancing or imparting quantity and concentration of one or more tastands (tobacco additive or tobacco article adjunct) (produced from Saccharum officinarum leaves (sugarcane leaves)) by means of carrying out the above-mentioned process.
本发明描述了一种从甘蔗叶(Saccharum officinarum leaves)中生产一种或多种调味剂(包括食品、口香糖、饮料(如咖啡、牛奶、可可和柑橘/乳清蛋白)、口腔护理组合物(如牙膏和漱口水)以及烟草添加剂)的工艺、从甘蔗叶(甘蔗叶)中提取天然食品、口香糖、饮料、口腔护理成分或烟草添加剂,方法是对多片甘蔗叶、甘蔗叶浸渍物或甘蔗叶和浸渍物的混合物进行一个或多个物理分离单元操作,从而将一种或多种天然食品、口香糖、饮料、口腔护理成分或烟草添加剂从多片甘蔗叶、甘蔗叶浸渍物或甘蔗叶和浸渍物的混合物的剩余部分中分离出来。这些单元操作包括使用液压装置加压、蒸汽蒸馏、分馏、超临界二氧化碳萃取、挥发性溶剂萃取和/或炭柱分离装置。还描述了用于执行此类工艺的设备以及使用此类工艺生产的产品和此类产品的感官用途。还描述了由(a) 具有苦味和/或金属味的可食用物质与(b) 这种可食用物质混合而成的组合物。可食用物是哺乳动物摄取的任何物质,如食品、饮料、口香糖、非热量食品成分或药物,包括苦巧克力或布洛芬等药物。还描述了通过在食品、口香糖和饮料中添加上述调味剂(单独使用或与固体水溶性载体(使用喷雾干燥或冷冻干燥工艺步骤制备)和其他添加剂(包括甘油磷酸钙等营养补充剂)结合使用)来增加、提高或赋予食品、口香糖和饮料风味的工艺。
此外,还描述了烟草组合物和烟草制品,其中包括烟草和通过上述工艺生产的一种或多种增香剂(烟草添加剂或烟草制品辅助剂)(由甘蔗叶制成)的数量和浓度。
