The invention relates to a fruit flavoring that produces a yellow taste sensation and that is obtained by (a) contacting and/or mixing at least one fruit flavoring producing a red taste sensation with (b) at least one fruit flavoring producing a green taste sensation.

Enjoyment of food is affected by delivering a scent to the consumer independently of the food. To deliver the scent simultaneously and independently, a separate scent delivery device is used. The method can be used to increase enjoyment of food, decrease enjoyment of food, or provide virtual reality enjoyment of food. The method can increase enjoyment of food when the food is being consumed, thus, increase food consumption by an anorexic person. The method can decrease enjoyment of food when the food is being consumed, thus, decrease consumption and help obese people eat less.

The invention relates to a container (2) for receiving a liquid comprising a thin film capacitive sensor (100) comprising a level sensor for detecting the liquid filling level of the container (2) over time, wherein the sensor (100) further comprises a settable device allowing setting one or more desired liquid filling levels of the container (2), of the same or of different liquids. Preferably, the settable device is configured as a touch screen, arranged in the external layer of the sensor (100). The invention further relates to a beverage production system (S) comprising a beverage production machine (1) having a beverage production unit (10) for preparing and dispensing a beverage and a control unit (50) for controlling a beverage production of the beverage production unit (10), and a container (2) as the one described. Yet further, the invention relates to a method for setting one or a plurality of liquid filling levels of a container (2).

A liquid cooler comprises a hot liquid container, a cold liquid container, a cooling sleeve, a heat exchanger and a plurality of connecting pipes. The hot liquid container communicates with the cooling sleeve through the connecting pipes. The cooling sleeve has a double-layer structure, the inner pipe of which is used for transporting a hot liquid and the outer pipe thereof is used for transporting cooling water. The cooling water cools the hot liquid in the inner pipe once forming a cold liquid, and the cold liquid passes through the connecting pipes to reach the cold liquid container. The heat exchanger cools the cold liquid for a second time forming an ice liquid. After the two-stage cooling, the hot liquid is made into an ice liquid beverage of required temperature avoiding the bitterness and rancidity of high-temperature liquid beverages.

Provided is a container for liquids associated with a carbonator is provided including a base, a containment body, the container body and the base defining a first inner volume for a liquid, and an opening closable by a cap, configured to allow access to the liquid in the first inner volume, and wherein the base includes constraining means for a gas container having a second inner volume for the gas, a connection configured to place in fluidic connection the second inner volume with the first inner volume, a valve configured to obstruct or free the connection, and control means configured to control from outside the inner volume of the valve, and wherein the connection is separate from the opening.

A system for gas impregnation of a liquid includes a container for holding a product ingredient, a first still liquid conduit for conveying a still product including the ingredient, a gas cylinder providing a gas conduit with a compressed gas such as Nitrogen. The system includes two or more pressure chambers each having a corresponding liquid fill valve to control the flow of a still product filling the pressure chamber, and a gas diffuser for diffusing the compressed gas into the still product to produce a gas infused product. A multi-way valve in fluid communication with each of the pressure chambers directs the gas infused product from a selected one of the pressure chambers to a first charged product conduit for supplying a charged liquid dispenser, and blocks fluid from flowing from other, non-selected, ones of the pressure chambers. A method for using the subject system is also provided.
