Claim 0:
1. A composition comprising at least one steviol glycoside and a non-steviol glycoside composition, wherein the non-steviol glycoside composition is made by a process comprising the steps of:
a. providing Stevia rebaudiana plant material;
b. providing extraction solvent;
c. mixing the Stevia rebaudiana plant material and the extraction solvent to provide a Stevia plant material and solvent mixture;
d. separating the Stevia plant material and solvent mixture to obtain a filtrate comprising steviol glycoside molecules and non-steviol glycoside molecules; and
e. isolating or separating the steviol glycoside molecules from the filtrate to obtain the non-steviol glycoside composition,
wherein the obtained non-steviol glycoside composition comprises at least one non-steviol glycoside molecule selected from phenolic compounds, polyphenols, flavonoids, quinic and caffeic acids and their derivatives, neo-chlorogenic acid (neo-CGA; 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid or 5-CQA), crypto-chlorogenic acid (crypto-CGA; 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid or 4-CQA), n-chlorogenic acid (n-CGA; 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid or 3-CQA), iso-chlorogenic acid A (iso-CGA A; 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid) iso-chlorogenic acid B (iso-CGA B; 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid), iso-chlorogenic acid C (iso-CGA C; 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid), other chlorogenic acids and iso-chlorogenic acids known to art, retinoids, pigments, polysaccharides, olygosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, volatile oil components, sterols, terpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenes, triterpenes, coumarins, fatty acids and their derivatives, amino acids and their derivatives, dipeptides, oligopeptides, polypeptides, proteins, austroinulin, quercetin, sterebins, spathulenol, decanoic acid, 8,11,14-ecosatrienoic acid, 2-methyloctadecane, pentacosane, octacosane, stigmasterol, bsitosterol, a- and b-amyrine, lupeol, b-amyrin acetate, pentacyclic triterpene and/or glycosides thereof, and combinations thereof,
wherein the at least one steviol glycoside is selected from the group consisting of rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E, rebaudioside F, rebaudioside G, rebaudioside H, rebaudioside I, rebaudioside J, rebaudioside K, rebaudioside L, rebaudioside M, rebaudioside N, rebaudioside O, dulcoside A, dulcoside B, rubusoside, steviolmonoside, steviolbioside, stevioside, and combinations thereof, and
wherein the non-steviol glycoside composition is a solubilizing agent, a flavor composition, a flavor modifier composition, a flavor enhancer composition, or a food ingredient.
