A multi-stage filtration apparatus (100) for heterogeneous food admixtures comprises supply means (I1) for introducing a input heterogeneous admixture (All) being introduced to the multi-stage filtration apparatus (100), a pre-filtration station (M1) which is intended to receive the input heterogeneous admixture (All) being introduced and to separate it into a first admixture portion (Filtr1) and a residual solid admixture portion (Sol1), a filtration station (M2) comprising at least one tangential filter (F1) which is provided to separate from the first admixture portion (Filtr1) a concentrated suspension portion (Concentrata) and a final filtered portion (Finale), at least one supply device (I2) which is provided to circulate the first admixture portion (Filtr1) in the filtration station (M2). The pre-filtration station (M1) comprises at least one vibrating sieve (V1) in order to separate the heterogeneous admixture (All).

The invention relates to an adsorption system (10) for accumulating flavoring substances, comprising at least one working chamber (12) in which at least one sorption agent is provided as a stationary phase and can be subjected to a flavoring substance-containing fluid which can be conducted through the working chamber as a mobile phase for attaching flavoring substances, wherein the flavoring substance-containing fluid is a food item from the group of beer-containing staple and/or luxury food items, beer wort, hops, hop extract, malt water, malt beer, malt wort and brewery-specific ingredients and products and/or is obtained by means of a dealcoholizing device from an ethanol-containing food item from the group of beer-containing staple and/or luxury food items, wherein a ratio of an average cross-sectional thickness to the total length of the at least one working chamber (12) is at most 0.3. The invention also relates to a method for operating such an adsorption system (10), a flavoring substance concentrate and a deflavored permeate which can be and/or are obtained by means of such an adsorption system (10) and/or by means of such a method from a flavoring substance-containing fluid, as well as to a beer which can be or is obtained by mixing an at least partially dealcoholized and/or fermentation-halted beer having such a flavoring substance concentrate.

Cannabis infused beverages, and a method and system for preparing the cannabis infused beverages. A dealcoholized cannabis infused beverage may include a dealcoholized beverage and a phytocannabinoid preparation. An entourage preparation including terpenoids may be included in the cannabis infused beverage. The entourage preparation may include a cannabis hydrosol. A non-alcoholic cannabis infused beverage may include a phytocannabinoid preparation and a cannabis hydrosol. The non-alcoholic cannabis infused beverage may be prepared from water, fruit juice, coffee, tea, or other base beverages.

Provided are methods for generating color-concentrated wine products, where the concentrated wine products are manufactured by combining flash dtente processing, fermentation and tangential flow filtration. The concentrated wine products can be used for making blended wines, or as a finished drinking wine, or as a highly concentrated additive that can be used for enhancing other wines or used in food preparation.

A process of preparing a malt-based beverage includes at least two flavour components A and B in a weight ratio A/B of X.sub.final.The method includes the following steps. Brewing and fermenting a wort is performed to obtain a fermented malt-based beverage having at least two water-soluble components A and B, other than alcohol or water, in a weight ratio A/B of X1>X.sub.final. Then, adjusting the weight ratio of A/B at concentrating said fermented malt-based beverage by removal of water therefrom to obtain a concentrated malt-based beverage having a weight ration A/B of X.sub.final occurs. The ratio A/B of X.sub.1 is determined in anticipation of adjusting the amount of component A in the beverage during concentrating.

Methods and systems for forming a concentrate from an alcoholic beverage, such as a beverage made by fermentation processes. A membrane process may be used to reduce water and alcohol content, followed by freeze concentration to further reduce water content.

The present invention concerns systems and methods for building a high-density fermented beverage, including a method for building a high-density fermented beverage, the method comprising performing a fermentation process on fermentation ingredients to form a fermented solution in a fermentation vessel; and removing alcohol, aromatics, and/or water from the fermented solution, wherein the removal comprises positioning a membrane intake in a region of lower yeast density the fermentation vessel; removing a first portion of the fermented solution from the fermentation vessel using the membrane intake; and removing alcohol, aromatics, and/or water from the first portion of the fermented solution.

Compositions containing monoamine oxidase inhibitors prepared by removal of alcohol from agave-derived beverages are disclosed.

The invention relates to an adsorption system (10) for accumulating flavoring substances, comprising at least one working chamber (12) in which at least one sorption agent is provided as a stationary phase and can be subjected to a flavoring substance-containing fluid which can be conducted through the working chamber as a mobile phase for attaching flavoring substances, wherein a ratio of an average cross-sectional thickness to the total length of the at least one working chamber (12) is at most 0.3. The invention also relates to a method for operating such an adsorption system (10).
