The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple method in which, when distilling a mixture of ethanol, water, and biological raw materials, more aromatic components can be obtained and undesirable odors can be prevented from transferring to the distillate. To achieve this, ethanol and water are added during distillation.

A process for infusing a consumable substance is described. The process includes the steps of placing a desired amount of an infusion material into a chamber at atmospheric pressure, placing a desired amount of consumable substance into said chamber, sealing said chamber from the surrounding atmosphere, and applying at least one reduced pressure cycle within said chamber. Methods for separating the infusion material from the consumable substance after completion of the infusion process are also described. In addition, devices for infusing liquids or consumable substances, and/or brewing beverages are described. The present invention relates to an apparatus for brewing beverages or infusing a consumable substance having a vessel, said vessel having a sealable chamber for holding a brewing or infusion material and a liquid or consumable substance, and a filter assembly connected to the sealable chamber; a liquid supply and conduit for introducing at least a portion of said liquid supply into said sealable chamber; and a vacuum source and conduit for reducing pressure in said sealable chamber.

A composition including a. a spirulina-extract having phycocyanin, b. at least one multi-sulphated carrageenan and c. water wherein the amount of the phycocyanin is between 0.5 and 50 wt % DM, wherein the amount of the at least one multi-sulphated carrageenan is between 1 and 80 wt % DM, wherein the amount of the water is between 0.1 and 60 wt %, wherein the wt % ratio of carrageenan to phycocyanin ranges between 1:1 and 20:1, wherein the wt % DM are relative to the weight of the dry matter of the composition, and wherein wt % is relative to the total weight of the composition. A foodstuff containing the above composition.

A means for adding flavoring and/or ingredients that are not water-soluble into a liquid is disclosed. A means for adding flavoring and/or ingredients that are not completely soluble into a water containing liquid such as a liquid containing alcohol and water (including distilled spirits such as whiskey, rum, gin and vodka as well as ready to drink mixtures thereof), is also disclosed. A means for generating a flavored and/or effervescent beverage with non-water-soluble ingredients using a refillable or replaceable cartridge and a refillable or replaceable container, is also disclosed.

A beer-taste beverage, containing a carbon dioxide-extracting product of a plant raw material containing coriander seeds. The present invention provides a beer-taste beverage which is capable of favorably providing a flavor of coriander seeds and a method for producing the same, which can provide a new taste as luxury products.

This application is for a device and article of manufacture for the purpose of drinking, tasting, sampling, and nosing and evaluating alcohol beverages without alcohol nose burn and numbing; a procedure or method to manipulate said vapors for the same purpose; and a process to separate and dissipate ethanol vapors to accomplish the same purpose. The device is one embodiment of a vessel which collects vapors in a chamber with curved sides and large surface area to promote evaporation, which chamber's top opening orifice concentrates same vapors prior to passing into an expansion chamber releasing and dissipating fast moving ethanol prior to nosing, providing improved aroma detection and enhancing nosing, tasting, and sampling experiences for all spirits, wines and liqueurs, distilled, fermented, and fortified.
