A beverage product includes a mixture having a dissolved oxygen content of less than 500 parts per billion, the mixture including tea flavor, hops flavor, and water. The beverage product further includes a container holding the mixture, the container being sealed to prevent the introduction of dissolved oxygen, a headspace of the container including inert gas.

Described herein is a flavored delivery system including different particles and agglomerates of such particles. Also described herein are processes for preparing the system and consumer products containing the system.

Described herein are beverages composed of components derived from fruits and/or vegetables by way of percolation and/or maceration with alcoholic beverages. The inventive beverages include additional additives such as one or more sweeteners, glycerol, sugar alcohols, herbs, spices, vitamins, antioxidants, flavoring agents, acids, or any combination thereof. The methods described herein maximize the isolation of bioactive nutrients present in fruits and vegetables and form unique complexes with chemosensory flavor elements. Also disclosed herein are fruit and vegetable composites by way of percolation and/or maceration of the fruit or vegetable with alcoholic beverages, wherein the composites can be used to supplement a beverage.

The present invention primarily relates to a process for producing a preparation for nourishment or pleasure, preferably a beverage or a convenience food, such as a soup, a sauce or a snack, or semi-finished product for the production of a preparation for nourishment or pleasure, preferably a beverage or a convenience food, such as a soup, a sauce or a snack, the process comprising preparing a dispersion, in particular an emulsion, by mixing a functional agent, preferably flavoring, a tea extract and water with each other, and optionally drying the emulsion. The present further relates to related processes, products and uses.

An upward flow extraction method, apparatus, and extract are disclosed. The upward flow extraction method can comprise loading extraction material into an extraction cell having a bottom portion and a top portion; introducing a first aliquot of extraction medium through the bottom portion of the extraction cell; expelling gas from the extraction cell through the top portion of the extraction cell; closing the top portion of the extraction cell and increasing the pressure in the extraction cell as extraction medium flows into the bottom portion of the extraction cell; stopping the flow of extraction medium into the extraction cell; steeping the extraction material in the extraction medium under pressure to produce an extract; and introducing a second aliquot of extraction medium through the bottom portion of the extraction cell to push extract through top portion of the extraction cell.

Disclosed herein are methods of pumping fluids and fluid pump devices and systems. The systems described herein include an adjustable pump configured to expel fluid at a plurality of flow rates. The systems include at least one current measurement device communicatively coupled to the pump and configured to measure an electrical current applied to the pump. The systems include a controller communicatively coupled to the pump and the at least one current measurement device. The controller is configured to adjust an operating parameter of the pump based at least in part on a measurement of the electrical current measured by the at least one current measurement device.

The present invention relates to a method for producing articles impregnated with at least one plant substance from at least one plant, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) Extraction and/or pressing of at least one plant (V1), or at least one part of said plant, producing a liquid plant extract (E1) and a solid fibrous residue (R1), then b) Separation of said plant extract (E1) from said fibrous residue (R1), and c) Destructuring of said fibrous residue (R1), d) Production of a fibrous web or of an article made from the fibrous residue (R1) obtained in step c), and e) Impregnation of said fibrous residue (R1) with (i) at least said plant extract (E1), which is optionally concentrated, purified, flavored and/or fragranced, with (ii) at least one water-soluble or liposoluble plant substance isolated from said plant extract (E1), with (iii) at least one composition comprising at least one optionally concentrated, purified, flavored and/or fragranced water-soluble or liposoluble substance of said plant extract (E1), or with (iv) at least one plant extract (E2) or at least one composition comprising at least one optionally concentrated, purified, flavored and/or fragranced water-soluble or liposoluble substance of said plant extract (E2), resulting from an extraction or pressing of a plant (V2) different from said plant (V1).

Provided is a composition having a good flavor in which unpleasant bitterness caused by caffeine is suppressed without reducing or removing caffeine in the composition. The caffeine content and the cycloalanylalanine content of the composition are adjusted to specific ranges.

A method for producing powderized cannabis oil, and the resulting powderized cannabis oil, in which concentrated cannabis oil is mixed with and absorbed by a modified starch powder, preferably maltodextrin, in a ratio of at least three grams of starch powder for every one-eighth of a gram of cannabis oil is disclosed. Further disclosed are beverages, baked goods and single-serve beverage brewing cartridges utilizing or incorporating the powderized cannabis oil to create human-consumable products that contain an emulsified, tasteless, and odorless dose of cannabis oil.
