The present invention provides a method for the preparation of a myceliated coffee product. This method comprises providing green coffee beans and optionally heat treating the green coffee beans to provide prepared green coffee beans. Furthermore, a step of inoculating the prepared green coffee beans with a prepared fungal component and culturing the inoculum to prepare the myceliated coffee product is included. The present invention discusses different embodiments of the invention and the various products that can be developed by altering certain parameters, such as green coffee bean moisture content. The methods of the instant invention result in prepared green coffee beans and myceliated coffee products having reduced levels of undesirable taste components, such as 2-furanmethanol, and increased levels of fungal metabolites, such as β-glucans and other polysaccharides, relative to starting green coffee beans.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for preventing hyperinsulinemia that can result from therapeutic administration of growth hormone. The methods are carried out by imposing a restricted high-fat diet and / or by administering one or more drugs that lower serum lipids.

The present invention provides a method for the preparation of a myceliated cacao bean or other agricultural product. This method includes providing cacao beans or other agricultural substrate, optionally hydrating the cacao beans or other agricultural product, and optionally pasteurizing or sterilizing the cacao beans or other agricultural substrate to provide prepared cacao beans or other agricultural substrate, and a step of inoculating the prepared cacao beans or other agricultural substrate with a prepared fungal component and culturing the inoculated cacao beans or other agricultural substrate to prepare the myceliated product. The methods of the instant invention result in prepared cacao beans or other agricultural substrate having reduced levels of undesirable taste components, such as theobromine, catechin, epicatechin, gallic acid equivalents, and / or 2-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine, and increased levels of myceliation products, such as fungal β-glucans, chitin, proteins, glycoproteins, pyrazines and polysaccharides, relative to starting cacao beans or other agricultural substrate.

A beverage dispensing system includes a base to which a dispensing head is removably attached without additional fasteners. Beverage-forming liquids are supplied through a plurality of separate conduits in the base. Each base conduit has a normally closed valve that normally blocks fluid flow. The dispensing head has at least one passageway that receives liquid from an associated one of the base conduits. A projection associated with each dispensing head passageway opens the associated conduit valve to allow fluid flow from the base to the head. Dispensing valves in the dispensing head regulate the dispensing of the beverage. By selectively opening the dispensing valves, a plurality of beverages are formed from combinations of one or more liquids. A dispensing head includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening at each end of a passage extending through a body, the inlet opening having a smaller cross-sectional area than the outlet opening.

The present invention provides hybrid white corn that produces grain with novel compositional characteristics, such as, higher endosperm protein concentration and low levels of carotenoids. The compositional changes facilitate the use of an improved process for wet milling of white corn and improve the characteristics and performance of the products derived therefrom. A high protein, nearly carotene-free corn gluten meal and substantially pure starch are extracted from this white corn having a unique genotype, a unique kernel phenotype and advantage in the wet milling process is disclosed.

A composition for and method of practicing nasal hygiene to wash and moisturize the nasal passage. Where the nasal wash comprises a liquid homogenized compound of water, chlorine dioxide (or source thereof), olfactory stimulants, unsaturated fatty acids, and fixing agents. Where the unsaturated fatty acid component comprises from 0.01% to 1% by weight of the compound.

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for preventing damage to one or more components of the gas turbine engine during a repair procedure. The method includes locating one or more gaps of one or more components of the gas turbine engine in the vicinity of the defect. Further, the method includes filling the one or more gaps with a filler material so as to prevent arcing over the gaps during repair. Thus, the method also includes applying an electrical discharge to the defect.
