Wine-making process comprising a first step of arranging Acacia Verek raw gum arabic and a second step of arranging a wine to be bottled, a step of dissolving the raw gum arabic in water in order to obtain raw gum arabic in solution with a concentration of gum arabic comprised between 5 and 50%, a step of filtering the raw gum arabic in solution by means of a tangential filter provided with synthetic membrane with nominal porosity comprised between 0.5 and 3 m in order to obtain filtered gum arabic in solution with a concentration of gum arabic comprised between 5 and 40%, a step of admixing the filtered gum arabic in solution in the wine to be bottled in order to obtain a wine to be bottled admixed with gum arabic, and finally a step of microfiltrating the wine to be bottled admixed with gum arabic.

Compositions and methods for enhancing carbonation effect in food consumables are provided.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a beer bittering agent via enzyme catalyzed bioconversion of hop-derived isoalpha acids to dihydro-(rho)-isoalpha acids.

A method for producing a beer-taste beverage, characterized in that the method includes adding a hop bract-containing composition having an -acid content of less than 1% by weight of the composition in the step of producing a beer-taste beverage. According to the present invention, by the use of the hop bracts, it is possible to realize a balance between the bitterness, aroma derived from hops, and taste that cannot be achieved by a conventional production method. By appropriately adjusting the timing of adding hop bracts, beer-taste beverages having preferred features and strength of the aroma and controlled taste can be provided.

A powder flavour composition comprising a compound according to the formula (I) or edible salts thereof, and at least one flavour co-ingredient ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl residue containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkene residue containing from 9 to 25 carbon atoms with 1 to 6 double bonds, R.sub.1 together with the carbonyl group to which it is attached is a residue of a carboxylic acid, and NR.sub.2R.sub.3, in which R.sub.3 is H or together with R.sub.2 and the N-atom to which they are attached, a 5-membered ring, is a residue of an amino acid, in particular a proteinogenic amino acid, ornithine, gamma-aminobutyric acid or beta alanine, or a 1-amino cycloalkyl carboxylic acid.

A method of processing a marijuana infused craft known as Dry Budding, the method including the steps of: mashing with water and milled-grains to form a mash; lautering wherein the mash is separated into clear liquid wort and residual-grain; boiling, adding hops and heating to form a hopped-wort; cooling the hopped-wort and adding oxygen; fermenting via yeast and allowing CO.sub.2 to be released; filtering a fermented-solution; and packaging a filtered-fermented-solution. The marijuana is incorporated into the craft beer using only marijuana flowers and marijuana leaves to induce infusion creating a psycho-active effect ingestible beverage as the marijuana infused craft beer. In alternate processes the marijuana is incorporated into the craft beer in different steps.
