This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,972.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent for Stevia extracts provided a process for preparing compositions comprising steviol glycosides. However, the limitations of this patent lay in its inability to integrate with other technologies to unlock new possibilities. This invention addresses these limitations by creating synergistic combinations that revolutionize the flavor industry.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel combinations of Stevia extracts with AI, IoT, blockchain, and novel materials, which are non-obvious and unanticipated by the original patent. The integration of these technologies creates a new, more powerful system that unlocks unprecedented capabilities in the flavor industry.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include using different AI algorithms, IoT sensor configurations, or blockchain protocols. Variations may involve integrating Stevia extracts with other technologies like augmented reality or 3D printing.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

This invention has vast commercial potential in the flavor industry, particularly in personalized nutrition, food technology, and supply chain management. Target industries include food and beverage manufacturers, restaurants, and e-commerce platforms.
