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.

The present invention relates to the field of fermentation, more particularly to ethanol production. Even more particularly the present invention relates to reduced aroma production during fermentation processes. The present invention provides mutant alleles and chimeric genes useful to develop yeast strains to limit acetate ester levels during fermentation. In addition, the invention also relates to the use of such yeast strains as well as of compounds for the production of fermented foods and liquids with reduced acetate ester levels.

A system for measuring a sensor having two terminals includes first and second transistors with first and second control signal inputs connected to the sensor terminals. The system further includes a current divider including a reference current input, a current divider control input and first and second current outputs connected to the first and second transistors. First and second load circuits are connected to the first and second transistors at first and second differential output nodes. First and second integrating circuits are connected to the first and second differential output nodes. A comparator is driven by first and second differential output nodes. The comparator output controls a digital integrator. A value of a current divider control signal driving the current divider control input depends at least indirectly from the digital integrator.

A beverage supplement and method for making the same is disclosed. In some embodiments the beverage supplement is comprised of a first frozen composition made from at least one additive mixed with at least one liquid and a second frozen composition made from at least one additive mixed with at least one liquid, wherein the resulting frozen compositions may have different/varying surface areas, shapes, volumes, flavors, and concentrations. Varying the combination of surface areas, shapes, volumes, formulas, flavors, and concentrations of frozen compositions influences the duration of complete liquefaction and the release of additives, allowing a user to create an iced beverage with greater flavor control.
