Three-in-one Beverage Maker
Introduction
This is a kit which is portable and allows the user to simultaneously
make three functional beverages as per his/her choice. The
kit has been shortlisted for BIOASIA 2009 Innovation award.
With a unit machine the simultaneous production of three different
beverages like probiotic dahi: yogurt: wine is possible. Alternatively,
the user can also make yogurt or dahi with three different
flavors. With a single machine it is also possible to set
up three different types of wine fermentations. The apparatus
can function in the temperature range of 25-37oC.
Benefits
- This beverage-maker enables the production
of a full range of beverages resulting from Lactic acid
bacteria or yeast fermentation or both.
- The kit is complete by itself and is
reusable. For preparation of wine, the kit includes small
aliquots of spray dried brewer’s yeast cells. For preparation
of lactic acid fermented products, the users can use the
commercially available dairy products as a source of starter
culture.
- The consumer can set up three different
types of fermentation simultaneously at one particular temperature
with different starter culture or different milk/fruit juices
juice.
- Alternatively using the kit the user
can also try to ferment at different temperatures for greater
diversity of product obtained.
- The equipment has fewer process control
limitation to achieve a wider range of alcoholic content
than other alcoholic beverages on the market made from grain/juice.
Controlling starting conditions like fermentable sugar,
fermentation time and fermentation temperature leading to
yeast fermentation will enable the control of alcohol content
of the product. From the innovation a full range from 1-14%
alcohol concentration theoretically is possible Fortified
formulations are also possible
- Controlling the starter culture, fermentation
time and temperature will also enable the control of lactic
acid fermented product.
- The kit enables the user to introduce
their choice off additives (flavors, medicinal herbs)
- Power consumption of the present
design of the kit is very low.
