A method for producing alcoholic beverages from alkaline cooking, using as a basis the increase in pH in the medium to cook cacahuazintle corn grains, other similar mealy corn or any other grain, which offers a different proposal due to the generation of flavors, aromas and sensory characteristics that differentiate the products obtained by the methods herein disclosed from existing alcoholic beverages. A method for producing alcohol for human consumption and/or industrial use from the recovery and treatment of nejayote obtained from alkaline cooking residues, also known as nixtamalization of corn, applied to any alkaline cooking residue in the alimentary field.

Methods of producing a consumable alcoholic product involve utilizing one or more enzymes to reduce or remove an oral pain response otherwise experienced upon consumption of the product. Methods involve admixing at least one oxidase with a fermentate and optionally distilling the fermentate to produce a consumable alcoholic product, such as a distilled alcohol. Methods involve admixing at least one oxidase comprising an aldehyde dehydrogenase.

A method to expedite the growth of the agave plant by growing the plant tissue from a cell culture in a laboratory utilize incubator cells that are taken from the leaf of an agave plant and grown in a medium containing all the nutrients required for the production of new cells and the maturation of those new cells. The cells are then exposed to photosynthetic active radiation and fed with extra carbon dioxide, causing the cells to undergo photosynthesis and form the sugars that are found in a naturally growing agave plant. These cultivated cells are given an optimum amount of light and carbon dioxide to promote an unexpected and substantially higher growth rate than heretofore achieved.

The invention relates to barley plants having a high -amylase activity. The barley plants of the invention may for example carry a mutation in one or more -amylase promoters, in the HIRT gene, in the HBL12 gene and/or in the WRKY38 gene. The invention further provides plant products prepared from said barley plants.
