Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for fast and homogeneously heating a liquid product to a predetermined temperature by means of resistive heating. Sufficient and effective microbial inactivation is achieved upon applying an electrical field strength of between 0.1-5.0 kV/cm for a prolonged period of time, thus by selecting a relatively low electrical field strength and a pulse duration of at least 10 microseconds while the maximum temperature of the liquid product autonomously remains below 92° C. during the resistive heating. The present invention further relates to said process wherein the liquid product is pre-heated prior to subjecting the liquid product to the process. The present invention also relates to the liquid product obtainable by the process according to the invention.
Abstract: An agent for improving a feed conversion rate, an agent for improving a survival rate, an agent for improving the number of eggs laid by an egg-laying hen, a method of giving these agents to animals, and a feed which can directly and significantly improve the productivity of livestock farms are provided. At least one effective ingredient selected from cysteine and cysteine derivatives is given to animals. The effective ingredient may be added to drinking water, or may be added to the feed. Examples of the cysteine and cysteine derivatives can include acetylcysteine (NAC), S-methyl-L-cysteine (SMC), cysteine malate, and acetylcysteine amide.
Abstract: A method of brewing a flash brewed coffee concentrate includes flash brewing ground coffee to brew a hot coffee extract and mixing the hot coffee extract with a frozen concentrated coffee extract to chill the hot coffee extract to a temperature less than 130° F. while increasing the concentration of the hot coffee extract to form the flash brewed coffee concentrate.
