The invention relates to an aroma-diffusing paste, being: an aroma reservoir (7), this aroma being contained in liquid or solid form within this paste (7), semi-permeable so as to be capable of: diffusing this aroma in gaseous form out of this paste (7), this aroma then being detectable by a human nose, while preventing water from entering this paste (7) and / or while preventing water that has entered this paste (7) from exiting this paste (7) carrying the aroma in liquid or solid form, and while preventing this aroma from exiting, in liquid or solid form, from this paste (7), self-adhesive so as to be able to attach to the bottom of a screw cap (6) of a disposable water bottle (1), preferably a disposable plastic water bottle (1) with a capacity of between 0.2 and 2 liters, by simple pressure from a human finger.

The invention relates to a beverage device comprising a disposable water bottle (1) including: a neck (2), a screw cap (6), a tamper-evident ring (4) connected by a tamper-evident link (5), preferably of the tab type (5), to the screw cap (6) so as to render the screw cap (6) captive, an aroma diffuser (7) fixed in the base of the captive screw cap (6), capable of containing at least one aroma, in liquid or solid form, alone or absorbed in an absorbent material, for: diffusing this aroma in gaseous form from the reservoir layer (7), this aroma then being detectable by a human nose, while preventing water from entering this reservoir layer (7), and preventing this aroma from escaping from the reservoir layer (7) in liquid or solid form.

There is described a caps sterilization apparatus (10) for the sterilization of caps (2) comprising: - a caps sterilizer (11) for sterilizing the caps (2), the caps sterilizer (11) being configured for sterilizing the caps (2) while the caps advance according to an advancement direction (A), and by means of a sterilizing agent;- a caps feeding module (13) for feeding the caps (2) into the caps sterilizer (11) and configured for irradiating the caps being fed by UV radiation, the caps feeding module (13) being configured for feeding the caps (2) along a feeding direction (F).

The invention relates to an aroma diffuser comprising a stack of successive layers: a reserve layer (7) of aroma suitable for: containing at least one aroma, in liquid or solid form, alone or absorbed in an absorbent material; diffusing this aroma in gaseous form from the reserve layer (7), while preventing water from entering this reserve layer (7) and / or while preventing water that has entered this reserve layer (7) from exiting this reserve layer carrying the aroma in liquid or solid form; preventing this aroma from exiting the reserve layer (7) in liquid or solid form; an adhesive layer (72); a protective layer (73) for the adhesive layer (72); the stack of layers having a total thickness (E) of between 1 mm and 10 mm; and the stack of layers having a width or diameter (D) of between 5 mm and 20 mm.

The present invention relates to a process for the extraction of volatile contaminants from cork by thermal desorption, i.e., by supplying thermal energy to break the bond between the volatile contaminant and cork. This process has its application namely in cork pieces, more specifically natural cork stoppers and granulates. This process is able of removing volatile contaminants, namely 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, commonly referred as TCA, as well as other contaminants with similar properties. The removal is based on a temperature stimulated desorption process in which the bond between the volatile contaminant and cork is broken followed by its release from the surface of the cork cells into the gas phase and subsequently removed by vacuum pumps.
