The present invention relates to a liquid coffee beverage comprising liquid coffee infused with nitrogen thus producing a refreshing cold foamy and creamy beverage.

A composition containing one or more materials selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, proteins, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, alcohols, sweeteners, acidulants, antioxidants, thickening stabilizer, and surfactants, and a flavonoid-cyclodextrin inclusion compound, wherein the inclusion compound contains an inclusion compound obtained by treating a flavonoid having a rhamnoside structure with an enzyme having rhamnosidase activity in the presence of a cyclodextrin. According to the present invention, the bitterness and the changes in color tones originated from flavonoids can be inhibited, and foodstuff or the like having an unpleasant taste can be improved, so that the present invention can be suitably utilized in fields such as medicaments, foodstuff, health foods, foods for specified health use, and cosmetics.

The present technology provides a method for preparing an acid-reducing filter that includes depositing a mineral blend layer to a filter substrate, where the mineral blend layer comprises calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate at a weight ratio of about 1:10 to about 10:1, the mineral blend is free of soluble halide or hydroxide salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals, and the mineral blend layer is insoluble in water.

The invention relates to a caffeine-templated MIP copolymer matrix and devices employing these polymers that exhibit high absorbance or binding capacity for caffeine while retaining rapid caffeine uptake kinetics, and which function in both cold and hot aqueous environments to selectively remove caffeine from a beverage with a high selectivity factor in order to better preserve the sensory aspects of the decaffeinated beverage, and which can easily be used by a typical consumer to treat their beverage within a short time frame of less than about one minute. More specifically, the invention relates to copolymeric MIP matrices produced according to methods wherein the template to polymer ratio is dramatically increased in order to raise the affinity of the resulting MIP materials, and hyper-crosslinked MIP matrices produced using higher amounts of crosslinking agents to produce high affinity copolymer matrices that better maintain a high degree of selectivity towards caffeine while minimizing the uptake of congeners to better maintain the sensory characteristics of the decaffeinated beverages. The invention further relates to manual and mechanical devices employing the inventive MIP matrices in a variety of physical forms and configurations that enable a user to decaffeinate a beverage manually or automatically within one minute or less, or select a level of decaffeination by controlling the exposure time to said devices.

A purine base adsorption material contains a 2:1 type layered clay mineral of [(E1m+a/mE2+b)(M1cM2d)(Si4-eAle)O10(OHfF2-f)] and/or its derivative, wherein m is a natural number of 2 to 4; parameters a, b, c, d, e, f satisfy inequalities: 0.2a+b<0.75, a0, 0b, 0c3, 0d2, 2c+d3, 0e<4, and 0f2; E1 is an element of Mg, Al, Si, Sc, Ca, Cr, Sr, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Zr or Ba, and turning into a polyvalent cation between layers; E2 is an element of Na, Li or K, and turning into a monovalent cation between layers; M1 is an element of Mg, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn or Li; M2 is an element of Al, Fe, Mn or Cr; and the M1 and M2 form an octahedral sheet.
