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.

A technique for processing ancient, heritage and modern wheat, grains, seeds, beans, legumes, tuber and root vegetables create baking flours suitable for human consumption. The initial ingredient is incubated to initiate germination and activate internal enzymes and nutrient production for useful enzymes, proteins and nutrients. Germination is terminated and the product wet-milled to fracture or shear the outer hull, exposing the inner grain. The product is mixed with water at varying temperatures during which amylase is added. The mixture is incubated to facilitate saccharification of starches into sugars by the amylase enzymes. The mixture is pasteurized to denature the amylases and the mash pressed and/or strained to separate the liquid and solids. The solid phase is dried and milled into higher fiber, high protein, low carbohydrate flour. The liquid is carbohydrate-rich with substantial fiber, protein and other nutrients dissolved in the solution.

A system for measuring a sensor having two terminals includes first and second transistors with first and second control signal inputs connected to the sensor terminals. The system further includes a current divider including a reference current input, a current divider control input and first and second current outputs connected to the first and second transistors. First and second load circuits are connected to the first and second transistors at first and second differential output nodes. First and second integrator circuits are connected to the first and second differential output nodes. A comparator is driven by first and second differential output nodes. The comparator output controls a digital filter. A value of the a current divider control signal driving the current divider control input depends at least indirectly from the digital filter output.
