摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention is a method for making a beverage, such as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer, the method comprising performing a first fermentation step using a first set of fermentation ingredients to create a first fermented solution; removing a first collection of alcohol and aromatics from the first fermented solution to create a first de-alcoholized solution; adding a second set of fermentation ingredients to the first de-alcoholized solution; performing a second fermentation step using the second set of fermentation ingredients in the first de-alcoholized solution to create a second fermented solution; creating a beverage, wherein creating the beverage comprises using the second fermented solution and at least a portion of a previous collection of alcohol and aromatics.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for production of beadlets comprising hop acids salts in a matrix comprising at least one starch and/or starch derivative, to such beadlets and to the use of such specific beadlets.
摘要:
To provide an extract or other substance that can impart not only bitterness and aroma but also taste elements such as koku and robustness without increasing astringency or harshness, and to provide a beverage having superior koku and robustness. Increasing hop-derived polyphenols, particularly trimeric proanthocyanidin makes it possible to provide beverages with koku and robustness without increasing astringency or lingering aftertaste.
摘要:
The present invention is an extracted hop powder which has one or more hop acids blended back. This hop acid powder is flowable, does not cake-up and is more stable than hop powder that has not been extracted.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a new method for brewing beer comprising the addition of polyphenol-rich extracts prepared from hops at specific steps during or after the brewing process. The method enhances the mouthfeel, the reducing power and the stability of beer. Furthermore, beers comprising the polyphenol-rich extracts are provided.
摘要:
The isolation of at least one water soluble glycoside comprising an aromatic moiety group conjugated to mono-, di-, and trisaccharides from hop plant parts other than hop cones is disclosed. A glycoside preparation made by extraction of hop plant leaves with an aqueous alcohol was discovered to confer a pleasant grape flavor to the beer to which the glycoside preparation was added. The glycoside composition of the glycoside preparation made from aqueous alcohol-extracted hop plant leaves was found to differ from a similar preparation made from hop cones.
摘要:
An extremely light stable, kettle hop flavoring agent is disclosed. The flavoring agent is made by extracting hop solids with a polar solvent and washing the extract with a nonpolar solvent capable of removing residual α-acids. The flavoring agent can be used to impart extremely high light stability and full kettle hop flavoring to malt beverages.
摘要:
An improved flavoring composition and process for brewing malt beverages is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, the flavoring composition is formed from a high solids percent, room temperature stable, partially aqueous composition of a potassium salt of iso-α-acids. Such composition may be added to the wort kettle or else used as a post-fermentation additive, preferably after dilution with demineralized water. In another embodiment, the flavoring composition comprises a mixture containing reduced (rho-) iso-α-acids in alkali metal salts form, β-acids and hop oil. This latter composition is useful as a substitute for normal kettle extract, hops or hop pellets, allowing easy preparation of beer that resists formation of unpleasant, “skunky” flavors but has otherwise similar flavor and physical properties.
摘要:
Unsaturated organic compounds, in particular .alpha.-acids and .beta.-acids, are purified prior to hydrogenation by mixing them with an adsorbent capable of adsorbing catalyst poisons, preferably activated carbon, and separating the adsorbent containing the catalyst poisons to recover the thus purified unsaturated organic compounds. A significant reduction in the use of hydrogenation catalyst is realized.
摘要:
A concentrated single phase aqueous alkaline solution of tetrahydroiso-.alpha.-acids having greater than 10% to about 45% w/w tetrahydroiso-.alpha.-acids is disclosed. A method of hydrogenating and formulating a starting solution of iso-.alpha.-acids to obtain such concentrated solutions of tetrahydroiso-.alpha.-acids is also disclosed.
