A method of preparing a cannabis-infused alcoholic beverage. The method includes separating the stems, seeds, and stalks of a cannabis plant, grinding them into a powder, mixing the powder with water, heating the mixture and adding amylase enzyme. After stirring, the mixture is cooled and combined with yeast, sugar, water, and flavoring, forming a precursor mixture. The precursor mixture is fermented in a fermenter, and then strained, resulting in a first product, which is an alcoholic beverage called Mareer. Straining the Mareer twice through three layers of cheesecloth results in a second product called Meer. Distilling the Meer results in a third product called Mariquor. The method allows typically discarded portions of the cannabis plant to be utilized and the maximum amount of cannabinoids extracted therefrom.

Process for producing an ambient storage food product comprising providing a food product with a pH of between 3.4 and 4.4, subjecting the food product to a heat treatment to obtain a heat treated food product, adding aseptically to the heat treated food product one or more of ambient storage lactic acid bacteria strains to obtain an ambient storage food product, and storing the ambient storage food product at ambient temperature for a period of time, wherein the ambient storage lactic acid bacteria strain is selected from the group consisting of strains: (i) wherein the strain is capable of retaining viability at the end of 20 days at a temperature of 25 #C; and (ii) wherein the pH at most decreases 0.8 units during the storage period; and (iii) wherein the strain is selected from the group consisting of strains of the genus Oenococcus, and mutants thereof.

A fermented beverage and a preparation method are disclosed. The method uses ripened fruits and/or vegetables as raw materials. The method includes performing a natural ripening on a fruit and/or a vegetable at 15° C. to 30° C. for 5 days to 10 days to obtain a ripened fruit and/or vegetable; and inoculating lactic acid bacteria into the ripened fruit and/or vegetable, and performing a fermentation for 10 days to 30 days at 15° C. to 30° C. to obtain the fermented beverage. After 23 days of fermentation, the fermented beverage has a total flavonoid content up to 0.5 mg/mL to 2.0 mg/mL, which is beneficial to human health, a pH of 3.2 to 3.8 and a total titratable acidity of up to 12 mg/mL to 18 mg/mL. The fermented beverage requires a short fermentation cycle, which is beneficial to industrial production.

A method for producing a vegan food product particulate (X, Y) based on almond flour, as a recipe component or directly as a final food product, includes: a) providing partially de-oiled almond flour having between 5 and 20% by weight fat and between 43 and 57% by weight protein, b) providing water, c) producing a liquid mixture of the partially de-oiled almond flour and the water, the percentage by weight of the almond flour being between 1 and 40% by weight and of water being between 60 and 99% by weight, d) heating the liquid mixture to a temperature between 72° C. and 138° C. and obtaining a heated liquid, e) high-pressure homogenizing the heated liquid in a hot high-pressure homogenization step and obtaining a heated hot high-pressure homogenized liquid, f) cooling the heated hot high-pressure homogenized liquid.

The multiple embodiments described herein comprise the genome of a probiotic Bifidobacterium longum bifidobacteria strain and genes encoded by the genome. Various novel Bifidobacterium longum are described.

Provided is a culture product having a mild rose aroma and suitable for imparting the rose aroma to a cosmetic product, a food or a drink, a pharmaceutical product, and the like. A culture product, which is obtained by fermenting a lactic acid bacterium culture product in a medium containing a milk component with Kluyveromyces marxianus, and comprises isoamyl alcohol in an amount of 0.3 to 5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of phenylethyl acetate.

The present invention provides a novel Pichia kluyveri strain (CCTCC NO: M 2015626) and the method of using this new strain to produce fermented nonalcoholic red bayberry juice. The method comprises incubating Pichia kluyveri CCTCC NO: M 2015626 with red bayberry juice in a fermentation process to make the fermented nonalcoholic juice, which includes an aerobic, anaerobic and a low temperature fermentation. The fermented bayberry juice of the present invention has bright color, low alcohol content (<0.5%) and high nutritional values. It maintains the characteristic fruity flavor of red bayberries with added mellow taste and aroma from the fermentation.

An object of the invention is to provide a beer-taste fermented malt beverage with an alcohol concentration of less than 1% (v/v), which is excellent in robust feeling of drinking, excellent in sweetness in harmony with sourness, and has beer-like flavor. The means for solving the problems is a beer-taste fermented malt beverage containing a wort fermented liquid, having a genuine extract component of 3.5% (w/w) or more, and an alcohol concentration of less than 1% (v/v).
