The present invention relates generally to tabletop sweetener compositions comprising non-caloric or low-caloric natural high-potency sweeteners and methods for making and using them. In particular, the present invention relates to different forms of tabletop sweetener compositions comprising at least one non-caloric or low-caloric natural high-potency sweeteners in combination with at least one bulking agent, or at least one sweet taste improving composition, or at least one anti-caking agent, or combinations thereof. The present invention also relates to tabletop compositions and methods that can improve the tastes of non-caloric or low-caloric natural high-potency sweeteners by imparting a more sugar-like taste or characteristic. In particular, the tabletop compositions and methods provide a more sugar-like temporal profile, including sweetness onset and sweetness linger, and/or a more sugar-like flavor profile. |
