A method for producing a beverage in a beverage container, having the following steps: providing a beverage container which is to be filled; introducing a cooling agent to the beverage container through a container opening, wherein the cooling agent has at least one water-ice moulding; filling the beverage container with a beverage liquid through the container opening; closing the container opening with a disposable closure and storing the filled beverage container in a cooled environment. The disclosure also covers an apparatus for producing a beverage in a beverage container, as well as a beverage article containing a beverage.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a deuterated ethanol from ethanol, D.sub.2O, a ruthenium catalyst, and a co-solvent.

A beverage brewing product for brewing a sweetened beverage is disclosed which produces a sweetened beverage solution that can be mixed with a diluting liquid and which comprises at least one water permeable sieve wherein beverage material and granulated sweetener are contained. The beverage material and sweetener are brewed and dissolved during steeping in hot water to produce a sweetened beverage solution. The beverage solution, if concentrated, is then mixed with a proportioned amount of diluting liquid to make a consistently sweet beverage. This beverage brewing product may be used to produce a variety of consistently sweetened beverages, including tea, coffee, lemonade, and other sweetened beverages.

A method of improving flavor of a combination of a composition for increasing circulating ketone levels is disclosed. A composition containing (D)-?-hydroxybutyric acid (D-BHB), (D)-?-hydroxyvaleric acid (D-BHV), and (D)-1,3 butanediol (D-1,3BD) is disclosed. Exemplary compositions may be incorporated into food, supplement, and beverage products.

A process and apparatus for producing a solid, edible ethanol containing product which may be either a rubbery solid or a hard solid that is frozen about 24.8 F. (4 C.). The product contains agar and gelatin and the ethanol may be provided in the form of selected alcoholic beverages.

Capsules contain in their interior a water-based substance, and are coated with a film of alginate of an alkaline earth metal selected from calcium and magnesium. The capsules are of a larger size than previous capsules, while maintaining their sphericality. The capsules of water-based substances are obtained by incubating the capsules in suspension.

[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a material which can generate fine beads in a sparkling beverage and can keep the fine beads in the beverage without adversely affecting the flavor of the beverage when added to the beverage; and a method for producing the material. [Solution] A method for producing a polysaccharide-protein complex, comprising a heating step of heating a polysaccharide containing an uronic acid as a constituent sugar in the presence of a protein under the conditions in which the pH value is 2 to 5 and the temperature is 80 to 180 C. inclusive, wherein a fraction having a molecular weight of 12000 or more makes up 30% by mass or less of the polysaccharide-protein complex and a fraction having a molecular weight of 500 or more and less than 12000 makes up 30% by mass or more of the polysaccharide-protein complex.

A concrete container for a food liquid, particularly for making and aging wine and spirits, includes a container body which exhibits symmetry of revolution. The body includes an interior wall delimiting the storage volume of the container, an external peripheral wall, a first body part and a second body part, which parts are superposed and assembled to close the body, each body part includes an assembly surface for assembly with the other body part. The assembly surfaces include at least: first assembly surfaces placed on the side of the interior wall, the first surfaces exhibiting profiles that mate with one another to ensure continuous contact between the first surfaces, and the first assembly surfaces being extended in the direction toward the outside of the container by second assembly surfaces configured to define between them an interior space that may or may not open onto the external peripheral wall.
