Pasteurized juice products formed from raw cannabis are provided. First, a cannabis juice purée having a particular cannabinoid profile is formed. Next, the cannabis juice purée is pasteurized without decarboxylating any cannabinoids in the cannabis juice purée thereby obtaining a pasteurized cannabis juice purée. In one example, the pasteurizing is performed using flash pasteurization, such as a High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization process. The flash pasteurization process neutralizes pathogens such as bacteria and parasites. Next, the pasteurized cannabis juice purée is packaged into a container thereby obtaining a packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée. The container is a food-grade bottled juice container, an ice pop container, or a juice cube container. The packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée contains only non-decarboxylated cannabinoids. In other embodiments, additional cannabinoids are added before or after the HTST pasteurization process. In other embodiments, the packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée includes decarboxylated cannabinoids.

Implementations of a hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool are provided. In some implementations, the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool comprises a handle for holding and using the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool and a body comprising a plurality of surfaces and features configured to prepare food and to protect a user's hand while preparing food.

In some implementations, a method for using the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool comprises holding the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool with the handle and using one or more of the surfaces and features of the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool to prepare food and/or to protect the user's hand while preparing the food.

A method provides for removing oil content from a source material and extracting protein from the source material prior to generating a protein concentrate, including decorticating the source material, the source material having a protein and an oil content therein, the decorticating to remove a cortex from the source material. The method includes creating a flour from the source material having the cortex removed therefrom, removing at least a portion of the oil content from the flour by generating a solvent mixture by mixing the flour with a solvent and extracting a de-oiled flour from the solvent mixture, including oil and sugars extracted from the flour. The solvent may include supercritical CO2, subcritical CO2, ethanol, or a combination thereof. The method includes drying the de-oiled flour using at least one dryer and extracting a protein concentrate from the de-oiled flour.

The present disclosure relates to food compositions, particularly pet food compositions, having a high content of plant protein. The plant protein is prepared by processing Brewer's Spent Grain (BSG), having a moisture content of about 15% to about 35% by weight, so as to reduce the particle size of the BSG and separating the processed BSG so as to provide a low particle size, high protein fraction.

The present invention relates to a process for microparticulating of an ideal whey protein in a solution. The present invention relates also to microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation. In addition, the present invention relates to use of the microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation in milk based products and/or dairy products. Further, the present invention relates to a milk based product and/or a dairy product containing a microparticulated whey protein preparation.

A chewing gum composition and more particularly to a chewing gum composition has enhanced flavor release.

A food bar includes a mixture of dry ingredients including a protein and a binder including a sweetener. The food bar is able to maintain an initial texture so that the amount of force required to cut the food bar after storage of the food bar is substantially the same as the amount of force required to cut the food bar initially.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a mixture comprising vanillin and ethyl vanillin which process comprises the steps of (i) mixing at least vanillin powder and ethyl vanillin powder, (ii) keeping the mixture obtained in step (i) in a vessel in order to let the vanillin and ethyl vanillin agglomerate, and (iii) breaking down at least one agglomerate obtained in step (ii) into smaller particles. The present invention also relates to a powdery mixture comprising vanillin and ethyl vanillin obtained by the process according to the present invention.

Provided herein is a process for increasing the dissolution rate of a sparingly water soluble flavor or taste modifying compound in water comprising: a. mixing the compound and a highly water soluble second compound in a water based solution to form a solution or dispersion of the compound; and b. drying the solution or dispersion to form a solution or solid dispersion of the compound wherein the compound has an increased dissolution rate in water as compared to the compound when dissolved in water alone.

An apparatus and method for mixing and milling dry ingredients with water to produce a homogenous beverage. The apparatus may include, for example, a water supply, a tubing system, a dry ingredient container, a splash-back prevention unit, and a mixer capable of emulsifying and homogenizing a slurry, which, in accordance with some embodiments, may include large ground course particles (such as nuts) and water. The apparatus may also include a pump configured to move the slurry and homogenized beverage through the tubing, and a motor, which, in accordance in some embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure, controls the mill.
