A method for preparing a filtered beverage includes filtering a raw beverage using a cross-flow ultrafiltration device to produce a solids fraction and a liquid fraction; heating the solids fraction to a temperature of 60° C. or greater to produce a pasteurized solids fraction; microfiltering the liquid fraction through a microfilter having a size cut-off of 1 μm or smaller to produce a microfiltered liquid fraction; and combining the pasteurized solids fraction and the microfiltered liquid fraction to result in the filtered beverage.

An apparatus for cutting electromagnetic force, converting same and maintaining stable properties includes a rotational member in a housing. The housing includes an environment control device and at least one permanent magnet on an inner surface of the housing. The environment control device and the housing are electrically connected to an electric source. The environment control device includes a thermostat, a pressure controller, an emission unit for emitting ultrasound, and an illumination unit for emitting light. The thermostat, the pressure controller, the emission unit, and the illumination unit are electrically connected to the electric source. The thermostat is electrically connected to a cooling unit which flows low temperature gas to at least one conductive ball to suddenly decrease a temperature of each. The rotational member is connected to each one ball. The rotational member controls a rotation of each ball.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to using containers with a multitude of nucleation sites covering a major portion of the inside wall of the container to enable rapid and nearly complete removal of soluble gases from fluid samples, including carbonated beverages and other carbonated fluid samples. A fluid sample is rapidly poured into the described container initiating a catastrophic release of the soluble gas from the sample.

A method and device are described that reduce the amount of pathogens in a liquid and/or to mitigate the growth of pathogens. Utilizing the method or device, liquid product is subjected to an 8 Bar or greater pressure drop. The liquid product is then heated to increase its temperature by at least 10° C. while it is in the droplet phase and/or after being collected into a liquid volume.
