FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to formulations of sugar substitutes and more particularly to such compositions fortified by antioxidants.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Consumers have a wide variety of individual tastes, particularly with regard to their preferred level of sweetness in foods and beverages. Limitations relating to production abilities, shipping quantities, and shelf space, however, restrict the ability of a manufacturer as to the variety of foods and beverages that can be offered to the consumer. Furthermore, in some instances, the consumer desires to sweeten a consumable item to a unique, personalized level rather than be limited to the choices provided by the food or beverage manufacturer. A large market has arisen, therefore, seeking to provide packaged sweeteners to consumers. Such sweeteners allow the consumer to sweeten foods and beverages to their individual tastes.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a method whereby a sweetener composition is produced so that the composition has a homogeneous sweetness. Additionally, it is an object of the present invention to provide for fortifying such compositions with antioxidants.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with principles of the present invention, the present disclosure is directed towards product compositions as specified in Table 1.
