Provided are methods and systems for remediating toxins present in feedstock that are used in processes to produce ethanol and other products.

The present invention relates primarily to a method for obtaining a volatile fraction from a juice and/or an alcohol-containing beverage, comprising or consisting of the following steps: (a) distilling a mixture of substances from the juice and/or the alcohol-containing beverage, wherein the distillation is performed by a spinning cone column; (b) contacting the mixture of substances from step (a) with a sorbent to obtain a loaded sorbent; and (c) contacting the loaded sorbent from step (b) with a liquid desorbent to obtain the volatile fraction, wherein desired ingredients of the volatile fraction are concentrated as compared to the juice and/or alcohol-containing beverage such that an addition of 0.1% by mass or less of the volatile fraction to any food preparation produces a perceptible odor impression and/or taste impression in a test subject.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a sport beverage, comprising the steps of providing malt and/or unmalted grains, providing mashing liquor produced from spent grains, processing the malt and the mashing liquor to obtain a wort, fermenting the wort by using a yeast and optionally, blending with flavour(s) and/or vitamin(s); and/or adding of sugar(s). The present invention further relates to a sport beverage obtained by said method, wherein said sport beverage is non-alcoholic or has an alcohol content of less than about 1.2 vol-%, preferably less than about 0.5 vol-%. The present invention also relates to the use of the sport beverage before and/or after physical activities.

The present invention relates to an enzymatic method for removing sulphite. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for converting sulphite present in a composition into thiosulphate, comprising the introduction of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase (3-MST) and a substrate of said 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase into said composition. The present invention can be used in particular in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical fields, and any field involving the use of sulphite.

A system and method in a process for making a fermented beverage (FB), such as a bright beer, and producing a clarified FB, using a caustic dosing system to neutralize naturally-present organic acids typically present in a the fermented beverage (such as a bright beer) to the salt forms of the organic acids, and removing or separated the salts to form the clarified fermented beverage or clarified bright beer.

A removal nozzle may be used with a pressurized beverage dispenser to remove histamines and/or sulfites from a beverage as it is dispensed under pressure. A nozzle housing may be engaged with the outlet of a beverage dispenser, such as one that inserts a needle into a container to extract beverage from the container by injecting pressurized gas.
