A process for producing an infused honey composition having a moisture content of 15% to 19% w/w is described. The process generally includes adding an infusing agent to honey to form an infused honey composition. The honey may be dried prior to addition of the infusing agent, after addition of the infusing agent, or both before and after addition of the infusing agent. The infusing agents are generally not-from-concentrate components of a plant including an extract or juice, fruit, seeds, skin, stems, roots, or leaves.

Disclosed herein are a non-bee made honey formulations comprising fructose in an amount from about 20% to about 55% w/w, glucose in an amount from about 20% to about 40% w/w, one or organic acids in an amount from about 0.001% to about 5% w/w, one or more polyphenols in an amount from 0.001% to about 5% w/w; and water, up to an amount to complete. The formulation may comprise protein in an amount less than less than 0.17% w/w, and comprise the one or more polyphenols are present in a concentration of at least 0.4 mM. The formulation may closely approximate natural bee-made clover honey by taste, aroma, flavor, texture, mouthfeel, color, and overall appearance. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the bee made honey formulations.

The present disclosure describes a gummy dosage form including honey in an amount of 20% by dry weight or greater; fruit juice concentrate in an amount of 2% by dry weight or greater; a calcium source; one or more hydrating materials; and a hydrophilic long-chain polymer. The gummy dosage forms can further include additives such as flavorants, fiber, and pH-adjusters. The disclosure further comprises methods for preparing such gummy dosage forms.

The present disclosure provides a method of forming a liquid encapsulated core material and encapsulated core material compositions and uses thereof, where an interfacial fluid of a known volume is first layered on a host fluid. The encapsulated core material is then formed either by dispensing a core material from proximity, leading to the formation of a shell of interfacial material around the core material in an interfacially trapped state, or by generating a compound core material with a target inner core enclosed within a higher density outer core using a Y-junction geometry and impinging the said compound core with sufficient kinetic energy onto the floating interfacial fluid layer to form the encapsulated material via complete interfacial penetration of the compound core material.

A food grilling rack provides a frame defined by a plurality of connected side walls forming a closed geometric shape. The frame includes a lower corrugated sheet that provides multiple troughs, each trough having a lowest portion. The lower sheet is attached to at least some of the side walls. An upper sheet of material is supported (e.g., removably) above the sheet of corrugated material. There are a plurality of openings in the upper sheet of material, each opening being vertically aligned with a lowest portion of a trough. In one embodiment, the frame includes a pair of flanged members attached to a lower corrugated sheet that provides multiple troughs, each trough having a lowest portion. A sheet with openings slides into the frame aligning the openings with the lowest part of the trough. A food stuffing apparatus provides a receptacle having an interior, an upper end portion with a larger opening and a lower end portion with a smaller opening, and a tapering portion in between the upper and lower end portions. A plunger is provided having a head, a lower end portion with a shaft having a lower pushing surface and a joint that joins the head to the shaft. The pushing surface has a larger diameter portion, the shaft tapering above the pushing surface to a smaller diameter portion above the pushing surface in the upper one half of the plunger.

Flower pollen may be added to one or more types of food or liquid compositions for human consumption. The one or more types of food or liquid compositions for human consumption may include, but are not limited to, honey substitutes, plant-based waters, and plant-based foods. The flower pollen may be pharmaceutical-grade, allergen-free, Pareve and Kosher-certified.
