A beverage gasification system for concurrently extracting solid particulates from a solution of a liquid and a gas and increasing absorption of the gas into the liquid, in which a particle separator is located downstream of a gas supply assembly. A method of forming a clarified gasified beverage is also disclosed, in which gas is injected into the liquid at a location upstream of the point at which solids are removed from the liquid.

The present invention is related to the use of a separate, sequential or simultaneous combination of at least one urinary acidifier with at least one calcium phosphate crystallization inhibitor for urine acidification, and thus preventing the pH at which supersaturation of calcium phosphate is produced and consequently, renal lithiasis.

A method of recovering palatable potable storable water from a process for concentrating an extracted juice, the method including the steps of: providing the extracted juice; concentrating the extracted juice to form a concentrated juice stream and a concentrator waste stream, wherein the concentrator waste stream is not palatable, potable or storable; and purifying the concentrator waste stream to provide palatable potable storable water including the step of passing the concentrator waste stream through activated carbon.

An antiflocculation/settling agent is manufactured with a method having a low cost and low environmental impact, the agent having a high level of safety and no taste, and having an inhibitory effect on flocculation/settling of a food or beverage. Also, to make effective use of yeast cell body residue produced as a byproduct of yeast extract. Yeast cell body residue remaining after removal of useful extract from yeast is suspended in water and heated, after which the suspension is subjected to centrifugal separation and supernatant is collected. This fraction contains at least 15 wt % RNA content per solid content, at least 10 wt % dietary fiber content, and at least 15 wt % protein content, and mannan makes up at least 50 wt % of the dietary fiber. This fraction can be used as an antiflocculation/settling agent in foods and beverages.
