Abstract:
A method of making a pressurized packaged liquid beverage including filling a container including a one-way valve with a liquid mixture including a base liquid and a gum; sealing the container; introducing a volume of gas through the one-way valve after sealing the container; and agitating the container. When the container is opened, the liquid mixture increases in volume and separates into a liquid phase and a drinkable foam phase, which may persist for an extended period of time. The base liquid includes milk, coffee, fruit juice, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rigid container of foodstuff, the foodstuff comprising fish that is present in solid form. The closed container presents substantially no liquid. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing the container and apparatus for manufacturing the container.
Abstract:
A food product is described comprising an aqueous phase and gas microbubbles substantially dispersed in the aqueous phase which gas microbubbles have coating and a mean diameter size distribution with a maximum below 10 nullm, wherein the coating substantially consists of protein, wherein the pH of the aqueous phase is from 2.5 to 6.0.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a novel composition for oral administration and delivery of Noble gas, such as xenon or argon. Methods of treating and preventing neuronal or cardiovascular damage with such compositions are also provided. The present invention relates generally to the fields of molecular biology, medicine and nutraceuticals. More particularly, it concerns methods for oral delivery of inert gas compositions, such as Xenon or Argon, for the treatment and prevention of disease.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are foam-creating compositions containing a dairy composition and a hydrocolloid composition. The foam-creating composition provides a convenient form to prepare beverage concentrates, beverage syrups, and beverages. The foam-creating composition imparts a beverage with a thick, creamy head of foam when poured.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for preserving a perishable material sensitive to oxygen and bacterial spoilage are taught. The systems in some embodiments comprise a pressurized source of a first gas other than oxygen and a container for the perishable material, the container having a sealable lid, a passage including a one-way valve through the lid connected by a gas conduit to the pressurized source, and a mechanism for venting the container. In various embodiments oxygen exposure to the perishable material in the container is diluted by at least one cycle of pressurizing the container with the first gas other than oxygen, and then venting the container. In some embodiments oxygen dilution is by vacuum.

Abstract:
A sweetening composition of stevia compound and a compound according to formula (I) wherein the compound according to formula (I) is present in an amount of at least 0.0001%, by weight based on the total weight of the sweetening composition. The compound attenuates the liquorice taste associated with stevia or derivatives thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rigid container (10) of foodstuff (12), the foodstuff (12) comprising fish that is present in solid form. The closed container (10) presents substantially no liquid. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing the container (10) and apparatus (36) for manufacturing the container (10).
Abstract:
A container (1) containing a foaming-target food is charged at a predetermined pressure with nitrous oxide and a gas having a smaller solubility in the food than nitrous oxide. Then, the container (1) is shaken sufficiently, and a lever (3c) is operated to let the food come out, whereby the gas in the food begins foaming to give a foamed food product in which fine cells distribute uniformly.
