摘要： A control method for a viscous semi-liquid frozen or hot food dispenser comprising a stirring means configured to stir the food, a motor (50) configured to drive the stirring means to rotate, a refrigerating means or heating means configured to input cold energy or heat energy into the food, a rotation speed sensor (80) configured to detect a stirring speed, and a temperature sensor (13) configured to detect the food temperature, the control method comprising the steps of: a) refrigerating or heating the food by the refrigerating means or heating means; b) comparing the food temperature detected by the temperature sensor (13) with a target preset value of the food temperature, and determining to continue the refrigeration or heating, or to stop the refrigeration or heating and to keep stopping for a preset time; c) intervening by corresponding adjustment of the target preset value when a data set collected from the rotation speed sensor (80) shows that change trend of the rotation speed meets predefined intervention conditions; and d) returning to step a) for the next cycle. The control method for a viscous semi-liquid food dispenser is capable of controlling viscosity of food accurately and reliably to maintain consistence of the characteristics of the dispensed product and minimize the influence from the environment as much as possible.

摘要： Compositions can comprise the catechin metabolite 3′-O-methyl-5-O-sulfate epicatechin. In some embodiments, the composition can be used in a method for blood vessel dilation and/or increased delivery of blood flow to tissues in the body, for example by administering the composition to an individual having or at risk of high blood pressure or a cardiovascular disease. In some embodiments, the compositions are used for weight maintenance or weight loss. In further embodiments the compositions are used for treating or preventing gestational diabetes mellitus. The compositions are preferably administered orally as a food product in which the 3′-O-methyl-5-O-sulfateepicatechinis present in a concentration of at least 0.01 mg/g of the food product.

摘要： The present invention relates to a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients, the pack comprising an insert (10) and a container (20); the container (20) being configured by at least one flexible sheet folded in such a way to configure a container where one or more ingredients can be stored; such that the at least one flexible sheet is arranged overwrapping and matching the shape of the insert (10) in its entirety except for the part of the insert (10) in direct communication with the inner volume of the container (20). Typically, the at least one flexible sheet is arranged tightly sealed over the insert (10). Also preferably, the distance of the insert (10) which is overwrapped in any of its transversal direction along its longitudinal axis is constant. The invention further relates to a preparation machine (50) cooperating with a pack (100) as the one described, to a system for preparing a food or beverage product comprising a pack (100) and a preparation machine (50), to the use of a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product and to a method for preparing a food or beverage product.
