The invention relates to a process for preparing a reduced calorie beverage or food product employing fermentation of a plant-derived juice or liquid and removing the ethanol therefrom. The process involves first converting at least some of the sugar in a plant-derived juice or liquid by fermenting it with yeast to produce a fermentation product containing ethanol and subsequently removing at least some of the ethanol from the fermentation product, while maintaining the fermentation product at a temperature of less than fifty-five degrees Celsius to produce the reduced calorie beverage or food product. The alcohol removal step is performed at temperatures of less than seventy-five degrees in order to reduce the impact upon flavor and nutritional properties, relative to conventional alcohol removal at or near boiling temperatures. This invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the process for preparing a reduced calorie beverage or food product and to the reduced calorie juices and juice products created using this process and apparatus. |

A semi-aqueous method for extracting a substance. The method involves combining a first liquid or solid substance containing an extract with a semi-aqueous solution containing a water-soluble or water-emulsifiable (WSWE) compound. Said WSWE compound selectively dissolves extract during a dense phase CO2 expansion and salting-out process, which is simultaneously co-extracted using said dense phase CO2, and desolvated to produce a CO2 salted-out solvent mixture containing extract. Said CO2 salted-out solvent mixture is treated using various secondary processes. The present invention is useful for producing extracts for use as additives in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, beverages, or foods, and for quantitative analysis. |

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. |

For continuous production of dealcoholized beverages, a substrate consisting of fruit or berry juice, grape juice or beer wort is first preclarified in a microfiltration device (2) and sterilized and then fermented by immobilized microorganisms in the fluid bed process in a tower fermenter (3). Support particles (12), which are kept in suspension in tower fermenter (3) and to which the microorganisms are bonded, guarantee an effective biomass retention. After fermentation in tower fermenter (3), the raw juice is freed of alcohol in a dealcoholization device (24) and then clarified in an ultrafiltration or microfiltration device (27). The process taking place in a continuous product line makes possible an especially economical and productive operation of the unit. |

A process for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages of low alcohol content is disclosed, wherein a standard alcoholic beverage is chilled to form crystals, which are then consolidated into a substantially solid mass. The mass is then recovered, thawed, and optionally blended with either the unfrozen portion of the starting beverage or with a further quantity of the standard beverage itself to produce a low alcohol counterpart which retains substantially all of the flavor and taste of the standard beverage. |
