Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
45 words
A sweet composition comprising a synergistic mixture of, at least one sweetening agent with an associated bitter taste selected from the group consisting of saccharin, stevioside and acesulpham K, and at least one sweet chlorodeoxysugar sweetener selected from the group consisting of chlorodeoxysucrose and chlorodeoxygalactosucrose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
45 words
A sweet composition comprising a synergistic mixture of, at least one sweetening agent with an associated bitter taste selected from the group consisting of saccharin, stevioside and acesulpham K, and at least one sweet chlorodeoxysugar sweetener selected from the group consisting of chlorodeoxysucrose and chlorodeoxygalactosucrose.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said chlorodeoxysugar is 4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranosyl-1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-.beta.-D-fructofuranoside.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said sweetening agent with an associated bitter taste sweetening agent is saccharin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
10 words
The composition of claim 3, wherein said chlorodeoxysugar is 4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranosyl-1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-.beta.-D-fructofuranoside.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said ratio is 2:1 to 1:2.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
The composition of claim 1, which contains from 1/x to 4/x parts by weight of said sweetening agent with associated bitter taste and from 1/y to 4/y parts by weight of said sweet chlorodeoxysugar, wherein x is the sweetening power of said sweetening agent with associated bitter taste relative to 5% sucrose solution, and y is the sweetening power of said sweet chlorodeoxysugar relative to 5% sucrose solution.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composition of claim 6, wherein the sweetness contributed by the sweetening agent with associated bitter taste and said sweet chlorodeoxysugar is about equal, and the amounts of the two are approximately in the weight ratio of y:x.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1, which is selected from the group consisting of ingestible, oral and sweetening compositions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
99 words
In a method of making an ingestible, oral or sweetening composition, in which method a sweetener is admixed with other ingredients as dictated by the nature of the desired composition, the improvement which comprises employing as said sweetener, a synergistic mixture of a sweet chlorodeoxysugar sweetener selected from the group consisting of chlorodeoxysucrose and chlorodeoxygalactosucrose and a sweetening agent having an associated bitter taste selected from the group consisting of saccharin, stevioside and acesulpham K, wherein the sweetness contributed by said sweetening agent with associated bitter taste and by said sweet chlorodeoxysugar is in the ratio 4:1 to 1:4.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
99 words
In a method of making an ingestible, oral or sweetening composition, in which method a sweetener is admixed with other ingredients as dictated by the nature of the desired composition, the improvement which comprises employing as said sweetener, a synergistic mixture of a sweet chlorodeoxysugar sweetener selected from the group consisting of chlorodeoxysucrose and chlorodeoxygalactosucrose and a sweetening agent having an associated bitter taste selected from the group consisting of saccharin, stevioside and acesulpham K, wherein the sweetness contributed by said sweetening agent with associated bitter taste and by said sweet chlorodeoxysugar is in the ratio 4:1 to 1:4.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said sweetening agent with an associated bitter taste is stevioside.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
10 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said chlorodeoxysugar is 4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranosyl-1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-.beta.-D-fructofuranoside.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 15
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 12 wherein said chlorodeoxysugar is 4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranosyl-1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-.beta.-D-fructofuranoside.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said sweetening agent with an associated bitter taste is acesulpham K.
