The present invention provides a method for a consumer to enhance the quality of an average glass or carafe of wine by placing an additive into the glass or carafe and allowing its ingredients to mix with the wine. The mixture of food grade chemicals and natural sweeteners improves the wine drinking experience in the major physical and sensory aspects that make for an above average wine. These include: a smoky oak flavor, improved sweetness of the fruit, a toasty or roasted coffee aroma and aftertaste, the hint of spices and scents such as leather, tobacco, nutmeg, basil, rosemary, earthiness. Beyond enhancing the taste of the wine, certain hygroscopic constituents of the present invention improve mouth feel of the treated wine and increase the length of the finish of the wine, the length of time the flavors linger on the palate. The method of the present invention allows a wine consumer to improve their sensory experience while drinking the treated wine. All of this is done without changing the basic underlying balance of acidity and fruit of the original wine. The pH is not disturbed with this additive which can be stored in individual plastic or foil pouches or containers intended to be carried in the pocket when dining out.

PRODUCTION OF LOW-ALCOHOL OR ALCOHOL-FREE BEER WITH PICHIA KLUYVERI YEAST STRAINS

Номер: US20160010042A1
Принадлежит: CHR. HANSEN A/S

It has unexpectedly been found that a low alcohol or alcohol-free beverage, with a flavor profile very close to a beer of at least 4% (vol/vol) alcohol, can be produced by using yeast strains. In particular, yeast strains only use the glucose in the wort, and have the ability of converting this substrate into a high concentration of specific flavor compounds, which are normally produced by ssp. yeast strains used for the brewing of beer. In this way the yeast strains can be used to produce either a low alcohol or alcohol-free beverage, depending on the glucose levels in the wort. The main flavor compounds produced by in the fermentation of wort are isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate. 19-. (canceled)10.
