Abstract: A beverage product comprises a container holding a liquid beverage component and sufficient nitrogen gas to give a gas pressure in the head space of at least about 3.3 bar at 5° C., said liquid beverage comprising an organoleptically acceptable foam-maintaining system such that when the liquid beverage is poured from the container a foam is generated, the volume of which is maintained at greater than about 80% of its initial volume for a period of at least about 10, preferably at least about 30 minutes. The initial volume of the foam may be less than about 20% of the volume of the liquid beverage. The foam-maintaining system may comprise octenylsuccinic acid modified starch, and at least one surface active agent selected from the group consisting of acyl lactylate salts, proteins, protein hydrolysates, sucrose esters, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an apparatus for brewing a beverage. The apparatus has a brew funnel, a key and an elevation device so that only one brand of beverage can be brewed to thereby prevent harm and confusion to consumers.

Abstract: The invention is directed to w/o/w emulsions that are microbiologically stable and free of a distinct sour taste. The w/o/w emulsions have at least about 50% by weight of the total amount of acidulant utilized in the emulsion within the primary phase. The w/o/w emulsion of this invention can be used as a base for a variety of end use products.

Abstract: Fresh flavor is delivered to an on-premise beverage at the point of dispense. Flavor compounds are incorporated in a separate component and then the separated flavor component is mixed with beverage concentrate at the time of dispense to produce a superior beverage.
