A dispenser head for in-line mixing and dispensing of beverages, which may be carbonated or nitrogenated. The dispenser head comprising a pump, a dilution mechanism, an additive mechanism, and outlet nozzle and optionally a regulation system. In use, the pump can pump concentrate liquid for the liquid product from a concentrate source to the dilution mechanism; the dilution mechanism can receive diluent liquid suitable for the liquid product from a diluent source, operable to mix the diluent liquid and the concentrate liquid and provide diluted concentrate liquid; and the additive mechanism can receive additive fluid for the liquid product from an additive source, to combine the diluted concentrate liquid and the additive fluid. The regulation system comprises a pump regulator means for regulating the quantity of concentrate liquid pumped into the dilution mechanism within the dispense period; a diluent quantity regulator means for regulating the flow of diluent liquid into the dilution mechanism; and an additive quantity regulator means for regulating the flow of additive fluid into the additive mechanism. Preferably, the dispenser head is a unitary device, which may be supplied attached to a vessel containing the concentrate.

The invention relates to a flavored effervescent tablet for the preparation of instant beverages for human consumption, which comprises: sugar, maltodextrin, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, ascorbic acid and sorbitol. The invention also relates to a production method comprising pressing the mixture of all the ingredients into molds.

A carbonated beverage maker includes a water reservoir, a carbon dioxide creation chamber, and a carbonation chamber. The water reservoir holds ice water and has a first impeller and a shroud surrounding the first impeller. The carbon dioxide creation chamber contains chemical elements and receives warm water. The chemical elements react with each other to create carbon dioxide when the warm water is introduced to the carbon dioxide creation chamber. The carbonation chamber is connected to the water reservoir and the carbon dioxide creation chamber. The carbonation chamber has a second impeller that includes a stem portion and blades. The stem portion and the blades define conduits therein. The blades create a low pressure region in a lower portion of the carbonation chamber such that carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide creation chamber flows through the conduits to the low pressure region.

Formulations that, when suitably mixed, form edible liquid solutions suitable for blowing bubbles. These formulations contain water, a surfactant, a thickener, a pH adjusting agent/preservative, and optionally a sweetener. The formulations may be provided in either solid form or liquid form, either of which may form an edible bubble solution when mixed with a sufficient quantity of a beverage or similar liquid.

This disclosure sets forth bubble modifiers capable of reducing mean bubble diameter of a gasified aqueous solution, e.g., a carbonated beverage. The bubble modifier may include one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of monocaffeoylquinic acids, dicaffeoylquinic acids, monoferuloylquinic acids, diferuloylquinic acids, monocoumaroylquinic acids, dicoumaroylquinic acids, and salts thereof. The bubble modifier desirably comprises less than 0.3% (wt) of malonate, malonic acid, oxalate, oxalic acid, lactate, lactic acid, succinate, succinic acid, malate, or malic acid; or less than 0.05% (wt) of pyruvate, pyruvic acid, fumarate, fumaric acid, tartrate, tartaric acid, sorbate, sorbic acid, acetate, or acetic acid; or less than about 0.05% (wt) of chlorophyll; or less than about 0.1% (wt) of furans, furan-containing chemicals, theobromine, theophylline, or trigonelline.
