A water composition that is fortified with at least one mineral and has a pH between about 2.5 and 9.5. The water composition has a redox potential that satisfies the following equation: 0≥RP-(A-B*pH) wherein RP is the redox potential in millivolts of the mineral-containing water composition, pH is the pH of the mineral-containing water composition, A is (400) and B is (20). The mineral is preferably selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, magnesium, and mixtures of these. Moreover, the mineral-fortified water composition is preferably substantially free of flavor or sweetener compounds. Even more preferably, the water composition has no metallic taste or after-taste, a Hunter colorimetric 'b' reading of less than 5.0, and an NTU turbidity value of less than 5.0. The mineral-fortified water composition may optionally contain other nutrients and vitamins, for example, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, folic acid, selenium, and pantathonic acid.

Improved liquid coffee concentrates that have furfuryl acetate to 4-ethyl guaiacol ratio values that approach the furfuryl acetate to 4-ethyl guaiacol ratio values of fresh brewed coffees brewed with the same coffees used to produce said coffee concentrates are disclosed. The liquid coffee concentrate is heated for 15 to 35 seconds at a temperature of 115 to 149°C. Methods of evaluating and adjusting a liquid coffee concentrate's furfuryl acetate to 4-ethyl guaiacol ratio value are also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to compositions comprising: a) a first component which is arabinogalactan; and b) a second component comprising two or more vitamins selected from the group consisting of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the compositions comprise: a) a first component which is arabinogalactan; and b) a second component comprising one or more vitamins selected from the group consisting of vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E. The present compositions are useful to provide beverages which increase the solubility of fat-soluble vitamins, and deliver the benefits of fiber, one or more of the defined vitamins, and/or provide other health benefits, including fighting infection, promoting healthy bacteria, and providing a desired dietary fiber benefit. Additionally, the present invention provides beverage compositions having excellent taste, and other organoleptic properties, despite the inclusion of the fiber and vitamin components. These and other benefits of the present invention are described herein.

A continuous process for making a flexible porous dissolvable solid structure with open celled foam. The continuous process has the steps of preparing a pre-mixture comprising surfactant, polymer, water, and optionally plasticizer; aerating the pre-mixture to form a wet aerated pre-mixture; extruding the wet aerated pre-mixture to form one or more sheets on a belt; and drying the sheets to form an Article having an open celled foam.

The present invention is directed to beverage compositions comprising: a) a first component which is arabinogalactan; and b) a second component comprising one or more minerals selected from the group consisting of zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iodine, and fluorine. The present compositions are useful to provide beverage compositions which deliver adequate levels of water soluble dietary fiber and important minerals without affecting the product appearance, product taste, and mineral bioavailability. At the same time, the compositions herein deliver the benefits of fiber, one or more of the defined minerals, and/or provide other health benefits, including fighting infection, promoting healthy bacteria, and providing a desired dietary fiber benefit. These and other benefits of the present invention are described herein.
摘要:
A mineral-fortification system that has a bottle cap, a pouch and a pouch opener. A powder is contained within the pouch, and the powder contains at least one mineral and a redox modulating compound. When the cap is secured onto the opening of a bottle containing a liquid and when the pouch opener is activated, the powder is released from the pouch and mixes with the liquid to form a mineral fortified liquid composition that is fortified with at least one mineral and has a pH between about 2.5 and 9.5. Moreover, the mineral fortified liquid composition has a redox potential that satisfies the following equation:0 ³ RP - (A - B*pH). In this equation RP is the redox potential in millivolts of the mineral-containing liquid composition, pH is the pH of the mineral-containing liquid composition, A is 400 and B is 20. The mineral is preferably selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, magnesium, and mixtures of these. Moreover, the mineral-fortified liquid composition may preferably be substantially free of flavor or sweetener compounds. Even more preferably, the liquid composition has no metallic taste or after-taste, a Hunter colorimetric 'b' reading of less than 5.0, and an NTU turbidity value of less than 5.0. The mineral-fortified liquid composition may optionally contain other nutrients and vitamins, for example, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, folic acid, selenium, pantathonic acid, and iodine.
