Described are flavored calcium supplement compositions, beverage (e.g., coffee, milk, cocoa and citrus/whey protein), foodstuff, chewing gum and oral care (e.g., toothpaste and mouthwash) compositions and articles comprising flavored calcium supplements, foodstuff, beverage, chewing gum and oral care base compositions and intimately admixed therewith an aroma or taste augmenting, enhancing or imparting quantity and concentration of one or more freeze-dried or spray-dried tastand compositions containing tastands produced from,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 additives, chewing gum additives or oral care additives is separated and isolated from the remainder of the plurality of leaves, macerates thereof or mixtures of leaves end 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.

Use of spray-dried and freeze-dried sugarcane leaf essence in improving taste of flavored calcium supplements, foodstuffs, beverages, chewing gum, oral care compositions and calcium supplement

Cola beverages comprising tastand additives from Saccharum officinarum leaves

Food and beverage additive composition produced from saccharum officinarum leaves

Described is a process for producing one or more tastands including food and beverage 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 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, non-calorie food components or medicines including bitter chocolate or a drug such as ibuprofen.

Producing tastands including food and beverage additives

Described is a process for determining excitants, attractants, incitants and stimulants for members of the Class Crustacea including but not limited to Penaeus setiferus, Penaeus aztecus, Penaeus vannamei and Procambrus clarkii. The apparatus for carrying out the process includes static tank flow-through tank and Y-maze each equipped with variable-focus camera. Also described is a method for exciting and/or attracting and/or stimulating and/or inciting members of the Class Crustacea including but not limited to Penaeus setiferus, Penaeus aztecus and Penaeus vannamei (referred to collectively as Penaeus spp.), as well as Procambrus clarkii, using various dilute aqueous solutions of molecules including but not limited to N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine which is an epimeric mixture of isomers having the structures: ##STR1## as well as feeding compositions of mixtures for feeding members of the Class Crustacea including (i) prior art feeding compositions and admixed therewith (ii) Crustacea Class-exciting and/or attracting and/or stimulating and/or inciting amounts and concentrations of excitants, attractants, stimulants and/or incitants which include molecules including but not limited to the compounds having the structures: ##STR2##
