One embodiment of the present invention is a nested fermentation method for making a beverage, such as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer, a wine, or the like, the method comprising the steps of: creating a first solution, wherein creating the first solution comprises fermenting first fermentation ingredients; creating a second solution, wherein creating the second solution comprises removing a first portion of alcohol from the first solution; creating a third solution, wherein creating the third solution comprises removing a first portion of water from the second solution; creating a fourth solution, wherein creating the fourth solution comprises adding second fermentation ingredients to the third solution and fermenting the second fermentation ingredients in the third solution.

A beer including Momordica cochinchinensis extracts including lycopene and Arachis hypogaea extracts including coenzyme Q10 is provided.

A beer including Momordica cochinchinensis extracts including lycopene and Arachis hypogaea extracts including coenzyme Q10 is provided.

A method of producing beer comprises the steps of producing or supplying a beer intermediate, wherein the beer intermediate is manufactured through a brewing process, storing the beer intermediate in a container, transporting the container containing the beer intermediate to a processing station where the beer intermediate is discharged from the container for further processing and mixing CO with the discharged beer intermediate. Before the step of storing the beer intermediate at least one of alcohol, malt syrup, wheat syrup, hop and sugar is added to the beer intermediate such that the stored beer intermediate forms a beer concentrate, wherein removal of water from the beer intermediate after the brewing process is omitted. Water is mixed with the discharged beer concentrate so as to obtain ready-to-consume beer or a ready-to-consume beer-like beverage. The produced or supplied beer intermediate has a CO2 concentration which is lower than 3 g/kg.

An edible composition, an aerosol composition, a flavor composition, a fragrance composition, or an inhalable composition includes an organosulfur compound such as prenyl mercaptan, 2-methylthiophene, 3-methylthiophene, dimethyl disulfide, diprenyl disulfide, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl thiolacetate, 3-methyl-1-[(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)sulfanyl]-2-butene, prenylmethylthiol (1-(methylsulfanyl)-3-methyl-2-butene), prenyl thioacetate, thiogeraniol, dimethyl sulfide, or a combination of any two or more thereof, and a primary terpene compound selected from the group consisting of myrcene, β-caryophyllene, limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, valencene, ocimene, terpinolene, or a combination of any two or more thereof.

A method for preparing hop extract emulsions is provided. One to two parts hop extract is combined with eight to nine parts diluent oil as an oil mixture. The oil mixture is heated until reaching a viscosity threshold when the heated oil mixture is combined with an emulsifying solution. The emulsifying solution includes an emulsifying agent dispersed in water. Upon combining the oil mixture and emulsifying solution, the emulsifying agent enrobes droplets of the hop extract. The combined oil mixture and emulsifying solution is mixed and homogenized.

A method for producing a food or a precursor of the same, including the steps: (a) providing a mash or a wort or last runnings as a first nutrient medium; and (b) treatment of the first nutrient medium with lactic acid bacteria of the species Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 15814.sup.T) or with lactic acid bacteria of at least two kinds of species including Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 15814.sup.T). Furthermore, a corresponding food and corresponding uses are claimed.

Provided is a beer-taste beverage comprising 1000 ppb by mass or less of 4-vinylguaiacol, having an ethyl n-butyrate content of 140 ppb by mass or more, and comprising at least one lactone selected from γ-decanolactone and γ-undecalactone, wherein a ratio of the content (unit:ppb by mass) of ethyl n-butyrate to the total content (unit:ppb by mass) of the lactone [ethyl n-butyrate/lactone] is 1100 or less.
