Patent number: 5346706Abstract: A cold contact process for the production of non-alcoholic malt beverages comprising the steps of preparing a boiled malt wort of about 12-20 degrees Plato; acidifying the wort through the addition of an edible acid, to a pH of greater than about 4.0, and less than 4.6. To the acidified wort is added an amount of about 25% to 75% wet packed yeast slurry suspended in a freshly harvested regularly brewed, barm beer. The slurry is added in sufficient proportions to produce a yeast cell concentration in the resulting wort/slurry mixture, of about 40 million to 80 million yeast cells per milliliter thereof. The yeast and the wort are held in contact in the mixture for greater than 10, up to a maximum of 30 hours, at a temperature of greater than zero up to a maximum of less than 7 degrees Centigrade. The resulting beverage is then aged after separating the thusly contacted wort from all but 0.5-2 million yeast cells per milliliter of the separated wort.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1992Date of Patent: September 13, 1994Assignee: John Labatt LimitedInventors: Cameron R. Murray, William J. Van Der Meer

Patent number: 4859485Abstract: An animal feed supplement is produced from wet corn bran and corn steep liquor exiting a wet corn milling process. Wet corn bran is mechanically dewatered to 30 to 50% solids by weight and then thoroughly mixed with concentrated corn steep liquor having 40 to 55% solids by weight in a ratio of 3:1 to 1:1 to produce a mixture having 35 to 50% solids by weight. This mixture is compacted to form a moist, cohesive, friable, readily transportable mass having a bulk density of 50 to 65 lbs. per cubic foot, a pH of less than 4.5 and a protein content of at least 20% on a dry matter basis. The compacted mass may be permitted to undergo natural fermentation that is substantially anaerobic to a pH of less than 4.25 to produce an animal feed supplement that is microbiologically and gravitationally stable from two weeks to seven months.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 1987Date of Patent: August 22, 1989Assignee: John Labatt LimitedInventors: John H. Linton, Nick Hussar

Patent number: 4744521Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid processing apparatus particularly useful for processing fluid foods in a highly uniform, "non-statistical" manner at controlled temperatures and high shear rates. The apparatus comprises a first means including an essentially smooth and unencumbered concave cylindrical surface of constant radius; a second means including an essentially smooth and unencumbered convex cylindrical surface having a constant radius which is less than, but not more than about 2 mm less than, the constant radius of said first means; said first and second means being arranged in mutually concentric relation with one another and such that there is a uniform annular treatment zone consisting of the gap formed between said first and second means, said treatment zone being arranged in heat transfer relation with a source of heat transfer medium; and, a third means for providing relative rotary motion between said first and second means, about the common longitudinal axis of symmetry thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1984Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: John Labatt LimitedInventors: Norman S. Singer, Shoji Yamamoto, Joseph Latella

Patent number: 4734287Abstract: There is disclosed a proteinaceous, water-dispersible, macrocolloid comprising substantially non-aggregated particles of dairy whey protein. The particles have a mean diameter particle size distributions in a dried state, ranging from about 0.1 microns to about 2.0 microns, with less than about 2 percent of the total number of particles exceeding 3.0 microns in diameter. The majority of the said particles are substantially spheroidal when viewed at about 800 power magnification under a standard light microscope. The colloid has a substantially smooth, emulsion-like organoleptic character when hydrated. There is also disclosed a process for preparing the above described product.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1984Date of Patent: March 29, 1988Assignee: John LaBatt LimitedInventors: Norman S.
