The present disclosure disclosed is a method for reducing the purine content of soybean milk, which belongs to the technical field of food depurination. According to the method, purine-reducing soybeans are taken as raw materials, and macromolecular purine in a bound state is selected to be hydrolyzed into small molecules according to different existence forms of purine in soybeans, and then micromolecular purine is adsorbed and removed by an adsorbent. The method is high in feasibility and good in removal effect. The soybean milk of the present disclosure is safe and non-toxic, high in purine removal rate, and low in nutrient loss, has no obvious change in mouth feel compared with common soybean milk, and can be used as a safe food for gout patients.

Processes for processing bio-sourced oil to produce bio-sourced oil dielectric fluids can be carried out using an apparatus mounted on a mobile transport platform system having a total footprint of no more than about 30 m.sup.2. The processes use a described array of pumps, heaters, filters, a degasser and vacuum system, and an additive metering/mixing valve system to achieve production under low energy and pressure conditions.

The present disclosure relates to extracts and sweetening compositions that may be wholly derived from fruits of the Cucurbitaceae family containing mogroside V and other terpene glycosides. The extracts have a low mogroside V content. The extracts also have a low monosaccharide content, and can be spray-dried to form a spray-dried product. The extracts may be suitable for use as a bulking agent, and can be combined with a terpene glycoside powder. The extracts and sweetening compositions can be used in a food, beverage, and dietary supplement products. Provided are also methods for preparing such extracts and sweetening compositions.

The present invention provides a grain fortification system. The said system comprises a plurality of fortification tanks each containing at least one fortifying solution. The system further includes a homogenizer connected to the plurality of fortification tanks, wherein the homogenizer is adapted to receive at least one fortifying solution from the said plurality of fortification tanks to produce a homogenized fortification solution. The system further includes a fortification reactor connected to the said homogenizer. The said fortification reactor is adapted to receive the said homogenized fortification solution from the homogenizer, is adapted to receive the raw food grains, and react the said homogenized fortification solution with the said raw food grains to produce fortified grains by degassing the raw food grains at a preset degassing condition and adsorbing the said homogenized fortification solution on the degassed raw food grains in predefined controlled ambient adsorption conditions to produce fortified grains. The system further includes a fortification solution collection tank connected to the said fortification reactor at one end and to the said homogenizer at another end, wherein the said fortification solution collection tank is adapted to collect, store and recirculate a leftover fortification solution from the said fortification reactor to the said homogenizer. Also, disclosed is a process for grain fortification.

A method for crystallizing aqueous carbohydrate-containing substances, comprising: purifying the aqueous substance containing carbohydrates; mixing said aqueous substance with a water-absorbing medium; distributing the above mixture in a layer on a high temperature resistant container; heating the mixture layer of the previous step in a microwave apparatus; cooling the mixture layer; re-heating and cooling the mixture layer until it reaches a humidity of 2 to 4%; spraying the crystallized mixture-layer, removing the water-absorbing medium from the crystals obtained; and recovering said crystals. A crystallized or granular product obtained by such a crystallization method.

Caffeine-adsorbing materials, caffeine-adsorbing systems, and decaffeination system suitable for removing caffeine from a solution; methods for removing caffeine from a solution; and methods of making the caffeine-adsorbing materials are described.

A process for stabilizing a liquid that contains a first type of polyphenol includes measuring the liquid's spectrum, comparing it to a reference spectrum, based on the comparison, estimating an amount of the first type of polyphenol, based on the amount, adding a specified quantity of an insoluble stabilizing agent to the liquid, feeding the stabilizing agent and the liquid to a filter unit, at the filter unit, separating the stabilizer from the liquid, and discharging the liquid. The specified quantity is based on the amount.

A method for debittering olives is described. The method includes contacting olive flesh with a granular polymeric resin under conditions sufficient to remove one or more bittering compounds from the olive flesh, thereby debittering olives.
