ELECTROLYTE-ENHANCED SWEETENER AND CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS OBTAINED - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032578 titled 'ELECTROLYTE-ENHANCED SWEETENER AND CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS OBTAINED
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is about using dietary electrolyte salts to improve the flavor of high-potency sweeteners and enhance the synergistic effects between high-potency sweeteners and carbohydrate sweeteners. Specific dosage levels of dietary potassium and sodium have been discovered to correct the flavor deficits of existing high-potency sweeteners, such as off-flavor, after-taste, thin mouth-feel, and loss of sweetness at high doses. These dosage levels of dietary electrolytes also amplify the synergy between high-potency sweeteners and trace quantities of carbohydrate sweeteners. As a result, the electrolyte-enhanced sweetener compositions provide sweetness, flavor, and mouth-feel profiles that are nearly indistinguishable from pure sugar. These compositions have negligible calories and are compatible with a wide range of foods, beverages, serving, and preparation conditions, as well as food labels related to natural, organic, GMO-free, allergen-free, and gluten-free.
- The invention utilizes dietary electrolyte salts to improve the flavor of high-potency sweeteners.
- Specific dosage levels of dietary potassium and sodium correct the flavor deficits of existing high-potency sweeteners.
- The invention enhances the synergistic effects between high-potency sweeteners and carbohydrate sweeteners.
- Electrolyte-enhanced sweetener compositions provide sweetness, flavor, and mouth-feel profiles similar to pure sugar.
- These compositions have negligible calories and are compatible with various foods, beverages, and preparation conditions.
- The compositions are also compatible with food labels related to natural, organic, GMO-free, allergen-free, and gluten-free.
Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
the present invention relates to compositions and methods that utilize dietary electrolyte salts to improve the flavor of high-potency sweeteners and to enhance the synergistic effects between high-potency sweeteners and carbohydrate sweeteners. specific dosage levels of dietary potassium and sodium have been discovered that correct the flavor deficits of existing high-potency sweeteners related to off-flavor, after-taste, thin mouth-feel, and loss of sweetness at high doses. in addition, these dosage levels of dietary electrolytes amplify the synergy between high-potency sweeteners and trace quantities of carbohydrate sweeteners. consequently, electrolyte-enhanced sweetener compositions elicit sweetness, flavor, and mouth-feel profiles nearly indistinguishable from pure sugar. these compositions possess negligible calories and are compatible with a wide range of foods, beverages, serving, and preparation conditions and with food labels related to natural, organic, gmo free, allergen free, and gluten free.
