Disposable beverage filter package

A disposable beverage filter package comprises a flexible and permeable pouch having a sidewall extending downwardly from a top opening to a closed bottom. The pouch is suspended from and supported exclusively by an imperforate impermeable lid configured and arranged to close the top opening and to coact with the pouch in defining an enclosed chamber. A dry beverage medium is loosely contained within the chamber. The lid is piercable to admit a flow of heated liquid under pressure into the chamber, with the permeability of the pouch being such that the thus admitted liquid is retained temporarily in the chamber for infusion with the beverage medium before permeating through and flowing downwardly along the exterior of the sidewall as a liquid beverage.

Barley for production of flavor-stable beverage

ActiveUS20050204437A1High activityIntensified flavorOxidoreductasesTea2-NonenalMetabolite
According to the invention, there is provided null-LOX-1 barley and plant products produced thereof, such as malt manufactured by using barley kernels defective in synthesis of the fatty acid-converting enzyme lipoxygenase-1. Said enzyme accounts for the principal activity related to conversion of linoleic acid into 9-hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acid, a lipoxygenase pathway metabolite, which—through further enzymatic or spontaneous reactions—may lead to the appearance of trans-2-nonenal. The invention enables brewers to produce a beer devoid of detectable trans-2-nonenal-specific off-flavors, even after prolonged storage of the beverage.
