MOGROSIDE COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF

CROSS-REFERENCE TO REUATED APPUICATIONS

The present application claims the benefit of priority of PCT Application No.

PCT/CN2019/081409, filed April 4, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth herein in its entirety.

FIEUD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure generally provides certain mogroside compounds, and their use to impart or modify taste of a comestible composition. In some aspects, the disclosure provides comestible compositions, such as flavored food or beverage products, that contain one or more of the mogroside compounds disclosed herein.

BACKGROUND

Natural sources of sweet compounds continue to be sought after, as negative health effects generated by the ingestion of sugar by large populations continue to concern health officials and mankind in general. The search for sweet plant extracts that have close to zero calorie contribution to a human’s diet continues in order to find sweet and flavorful compounds that might replace sugars in order to reduce the instances of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

To date, various products have been proposed for addressing these problems. For instance, artificial high intensity sweeteners have been developed, which deliver a sweet taste at very low doses. Among the high intensity sweeteners already present in the market, sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, cyclamate, and saccharine are well-known alternatives of caloric sweeteners. However, there is a strong desire by an ever-increasing number of consumers for natural or naturally derived products in preference to their artificial counterparts. But many natural, low-calorie sweeteners impart a lingering off- taste to the food products to which they are added.

Siraitia grosvenori (also known as luo han guo or monk fruit), is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. The plant is native to certain regions of southern and eastern Asia, particularly southern China. The sweet taste of the luo han guo fruit mainly comes from triterpene glycosides, which are present in the fruit at reasonably high quantities. These triterpene glycosides are generally known as mogrol glycosides or mogrosides. There are a number of mogrosides identified in luo han guo. A notable examples is Mogroside V (shown in FIG. 1), which has the highest concentration in the fruit compared to other mogroside compounds present. Mogrosides all have the same core structure, for example, a mogrol or oxo-mogrol core, and tend to differ from each other by number and type of glycosidic residues bonded to mogrol or oxo-mogrol core. Examples of a series of mogroside compounds are illustrated in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0059071. Certain mogroside compounds have a relatively sweet taste, often 100 times sweeter than sucrose. Examples of such sweet mogrosides include Mogroside V, and its isomer Isomogroside V. Isomogroside V is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0027413. Even so, such readily available mogrosides tend to impart a bitter aftertaste, which limits their broader adoption relative to rebaudiosides and other steviol glycosides.

U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/310751 discloses sweetening compositions that can be used to replace sugar, which comprise the extract of the fruit of one or more plants from the Cucurbitaceae family, such as Mogroside V, and mono-ammonium glycyrrhizin. PCT Publication No. WO 2015/082012 and PCT Publication No.

WO 2018/089469 disclose triterpene glycoside compounds and sweetening compositions comprising various triterpene-glycoside compounds. PCT Publication No. WO 2017/075257 discloses compounds that are useful as sweet tasting agents or sweetness enhancers.

Despite these prior efforts, there remains a need to develop new sweeteners or sweetness modifying compounds. The present invention now addresses these needs and provides important improvements in this area.

60 kg of Siraitia grosvenorrii extract (light yellow liquid, 3.5% of mogroside V) obtained from Gui Lin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp. was dissolved in 150 L de-ionized water and loaded on XDA macroporous resin. The resin was then eluted with water, 5% of EtOH in water and 95% of EtOH in water, and the last fraction enriched in mogrosides was collected as Frac 1 (5.0 kg). Frac 1 was further fractionized on a C18 flash chromatography column (Daiso ODS, 40-70 pm, 100*490 mm). After sample loading, the column was eluted with water, 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50% ACN in water and 100% of ACN at a flow rate of 70 mL/min, and 16 fractions were collected (Frac. 35-50). Frac. 45 (412 g) was further purified via a C18 flash chromatography column (Daiso ODS, 40-70 pm, 100*490 mm, 26% ACN in water, 70 mL/min), a Sephadex LH-20 column (55*1500 mm, 18% ACN in water, 0.3 to 1.5 mL/min), and a preparative HPLC (YMC ODS, 5 pm, 10*250 mm, 14-21% ACN in water, 4.5 mL/min) to afford [(lS,4R,9beta,10R,24R)-24-{ [beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(l®6)- beta-D-glucopyranosyl-( l®6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]oxy }- 1 ,25-dihydroxy-9, 14-dimethyl- l l-oxo-4,9-cyclo-9,10-secocholest-5-en-10-yl]methyl beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(l®6)-[beta- D-glucopyranosyl-(l®4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(l®2)]-beta-D -glucopyranoside
