The present disclosure provides a formulated pectin for reducing food GI, comprising low-ester pectin and metal salt of bivalent/trivalent cation, with or without soluble polysaccharides. The components of the formulated pectin, according to the present disclosure, are synergistic with each other and can be added to a carbohydrate-based medium and high GI food to achieve the effect of lowering the GI value of the food through a unique physical reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby obtaining a corresponding low GI food. In preparing the low GI food containing said formulated pectin of the present disclosure, only a small amount of said formulated pectin is required to be added to the raw material, and then customarily cooked or baked, allowing little effect on the processing, and almost no impact on the food taste and status. The food can be effective over a wide range of cooking temperatures.

The present invention concerns malting process for steeping grain comprising the provision of at least a first steeping tank having an inlet and an outlet, a second steeping tank having an inlet and an outlet, and a water circulation device fluidly connecting the outlet of the first steeping tank and the inlet of the second steeping tank for circulating steeping water from the first steeping tank in the second steeping tank.

As with many human physiological systems, issues within the central nervous system can arise for individuals leading to a variety of neurological disorders including, but not limited to, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Alzheimer' disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, demyelination, and axonal degeneration. However, culture devices presently provide researchers with limitations in their research. Embodiments of the invention aims to address these various limitations and allow studies, methods and screenings which cannot be performed with prior art culture devices. These include reducing manufacturing complexity, volumes of pharmaceuticals and cells required, allowing use in fields other than neurobiology, improved adhesion within the desired micro-channel regions of the devices, and increasing cell survival in cultures. Accordingly, microfluidic devices comprising a connecting chamber and micro-channel having the same depth which prevents hydrostatic pressure, end walls of the connecting chamber and micro-channel arrays having a high angle relative to the fluid flow direction for supporting culturing and topside of the connecting chamber that has been profiled in order to improve the adhesion of cells is provided.

A method of processing hops independently of the brewing process to produce hops that can be added to a brew to achieve a particular flavor and bitterness profile without the need for boiling after addition of the hops. A batch of hops is saturated in a liquid and adjusted to a predetermined pH. The pH adjusted batch is then heated to a predetermined temperature under a predetermined amount of pressure for a predetermined period of time to replicate the particular flavor and bitterness profile of conventionally boiled hops and wort. The processed hops may then be added during the brewing process to accurately and repeatedly reproduce a particular flavor and bitterness profile without having to undergo a boil.

A device, system and method are for treating a suspension, containing plant constituents, in particular separating a liquid or a solid therefrom, in the field of production of food, pharmaceutical and luxury products, and to corresponding uses. The device for continuously or discontinuously treating a suspension, in particular for separating a liquid or liquid phase or a solid or a residual phase from the suspension includes: a receiving unit for receiving the suspension and at least one separating device having a surface having openings. The surface can be brought into contact with the suspension, if the suspension is present in the receiving unit for separation into the liquid phase and the solid phase. During the operation of the device, the surface is arranged such that it is moved or can be moved or can be rotated relative to the suspension, the solid phase and/or the receiving unit.
