Abstract: The inventionrelates to the use of calcium in oral health compositions and acidic beverages in order toalleviate or prevent tooth damage associated with consumption of acid. Beverages of theinvention reduce the dissolution or removal of calcium and phosphate from teeth. Theinvention is based on the finding that reduction of tooth erosion by acidic oralcompositions can be achieved with lower amounts of calcium relative to the acidulant whenthe pH of the composition is also controlled. The invention is applicable to acidicbeverages, fruit juices, ciders, wines, vinegars and certain acidic dairy products. Theinvention can be used in the manufacture of fruit drink concentrates, such as blackcurrantjuice drinks, to reduce calcium loss from teeth. A calcium compound is added to the acidcomposition so that the mol ratio of calcium to acid is between 0.3 and 0.8, and the pH ofthe composition is between 3.5 and 4.5.

Language: English
Abstract: A novelcolourless or water-white beer is disclosed. Isohumulones, which are bittering componentsof hops, can cause light-struck off-flavours, and these are removed from the starting beerand replaced with light-stable extract tetrahydroisohumulones after ultrafiltration andprior to packaging. The method for making the clear beer involves ultrafiltration, and theaddition of dextrins, additional hop bittering agents and a foam enhancer. Theultrafiltration membrane can be a membrane having a base to which citrus flavouring can beadded to produce a flavoured malt beverage. A method is also described for preparing anon-alcoholic malt beverage from a by-product of the method for making the clear beer.

Type of Patent: PCT Patent Application
Author: Shaw L.J.
Language: English
Abstract: This inventionrelates to novelty edible toys with kinetic properties, specifically to edible toys that’swim’ in carbonated beverages. The confection of the invention has a specific gravity andsize that, when it is put into a carbonated beverage, it is caused to ascend and descendby the motion of the carbonation bubbles. The confection preferably has low solubility. Anumber of confections can be present in the beverage; the number is chosen to be largeenough so that one or more confections are usually in motion, but not so large that theconfections interfere with the swimming motion of each other. A preferred embodiment isdescribed, in which the confections are small, colourful and have marine-related shapes.
