Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
An artifically sweetened foodstuff comprising a foodstuff and a dry dipeptide sweetener from the formula ##STR6## wherein: the stereochemical configuration is DL-DL, DL-L, L-DL, or L-D; X represents a halide; n represents an integer of 0 to 5; R represents lower alkyl, lower alkylaryl and cycloalkyl; R 1 represents a. lower alkyl, b. a substituted or unstubstituted unsaturated, partially saturated or totally saturated six carbon hydrocarbon ring provided that when substituted, the substituent is at the four position and is hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl or halogen; and c. S(O) m (lower alkyl) provided that n is 1 or 2 and m is 0, or 2, said dry dipeptide sweetener being present in an amount effective to sweeten the foodstuff, said dipeptide salt being faster to dissolve than the corresponding unsubstituted dipeptide sweetener.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
An artifically sweetened foodstuff comprising a foodstuff and a dry dipeptide sweetener from the formula ##STR6## wherein: the stereochemical configuration is DL-DL, DL-L, L-DL, or L-D; X represents a halide; n represents an integer of 0 to 5; R represents lower alkyl, lower alkylaryl and cycloalkyl; R 1 represents a. lower alkyl, b. a substituted or unstubstituted unsaturated, partially saturated or totally saturated six carbon hydrocarbon ring provided that when substituted, the substituent is at the four position and is hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl or halogen; and c. S(O) m (lower alkyl) provided that n is 1 or 2 and m is 0, or 2, said dry dipeptide sweetener being present in an amount effective to sweeten the foodstuff, said dipeptide salt being faster to dissolve than the corresponding unsubstituted dipeptide sweetener.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The foodstuff of claim 1 wherein; n represents 0 to 1; X represents chloride; R represents lower alkyl; and R 1 represents phenyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, 1,4-cyclohexadienyl or 1-cyclohexenyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The foodstuff of claim 2 wherein; the stereochemical configuration is L-L; R is methyl, and R 1 is phenyl
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The foodstuff of claim 3 wherein the sweetener is L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of sweetening a foodstuff which comprises adding thereto a dry dipeptide salt sweetener of the formula ##STR7## wherein: the stereochemical configuration is DL-DI, DL-L, L-DL, or L-L; X represents a halide; n represents an integer of 0 to 5; R represents lower alkyl, lower alkylaryl R 1 represents a. lower alkyl, b. a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated, partially saturated or totally saturated six carbon hydrocarbon ring provided that when substituted, the substituent is at the four position and is hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl or halogen; and c. S(O) m (lower alkyl) provided that n is 1 or 2 and m is 0, or 2, said dry dipeptide salt sweetener being present in an amount effective to sweeten the foodstuff, said dipeptide salt being faster to dissolve than the corresponding unsubstituted dipeptide sweetener.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of sweetening a foodstuff which comprises adding thereto a dry dipeptide salt sweetener of the formula ##STR7## wherein: the stereochemical configuration is DL-DI, DL-L, L-DL, or L-L; X represents a halide; n represents an integer of 0 to 5; R represents lower alkyl, lower alkylaryl R 1 represents a. lower alkyl, b. a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated, partially saturated or totally saturated six carbon hydrocarbon ring provided that when substituted, the substituent is at the four position and is hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl or halogen; and c. S(O) m (lower alkyl) provided that n is 1 or 2 and m is 0, or 2, said dry dipeptide salt sweetener being present in an amount effective to sweeten the foodstuff, said dipeptide salt being faster to dissolve than the corresponding unsubstituted dipeptide sweetener.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 5 wherein; n represents 0 or 1; X represents chloride; R represents lower alkyl; and R 1 represents phenyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, 1,4-cyclohexadienyl or 1-cyclohexenyl.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 6 wherein; the stereochemical configuration is L-L; R is methyl, and R 1 is phenyl.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
