Methods and compositions for improved taste quality

This invention describes a way to make food and drinks taste better by using special ingredients called "taste modulators." However, the only remaining claim focuses very specifically on reducing the bitter taste in products that use a particular type of stevia sweetener, one that is mostly rebaudioside A.

Why it matters: The original broad claims for taste improvement were canceled, leaving only a very specific method for reducing bitterness in a particular steviol composition. This narrow scope means the patent offers limited protection for broader taste modulation innovations, despite continued interest in natural sweeteners since 2020.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedChemical formulation, food science, taste testing
