Legal Citation
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a process for preparing stevia glycoside compositions, but it did not address the specific needs of niche markets. The present invention adapts the original process to provide tailored solutions for these unique environments, addressing the limitations of the original patent in terms of versatility and applicability.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new claims introduce novel and non-obvious adaptations of the original process to address the specific needs of niche markets, including disaster relief, high-security facilities, extreme weather conditions, and areas with limited access to fresh produce. The inventive step lies in the tailored formulation of stevia extracts to meet the unique requirements of each application, which is not obvious from the original patent.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the invention could include variations in the formulation of stevia extracts to address additional niche markets, such as specialized dietary needs or unique environmental conditions. These variations could involve modifications to the original process, such as adjusting the concentration of steviol glycosides or incorporating additional ingredients to enhance the functionality of the extracts.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The present invention has significant commercial potential in various industries, including disaster relief, military supplies, and specialty food products. The market for these niche applications is substantial, with growing demand for tailored solutions that address specific needs and challenges.
