Method for Producing Sweet Bran and the Resultant Product
Provided herein is a method for treating untreated rice bran to produce a treated rice bran. The method comprises inactivating lipase in the untreated rice bran, saponifying the fatty acids in the untreated rice bran to fatty acid salts, and contacting the untreated rice bran with a source of bisulfite anions so that an aldehyde or ketone in the untreated rice bran forms an organosulfite. The method produces the treated rice bran, wherein the amount and characterization of protein and fiber between the treated rice bran and the untreated rice bran remain unchanged. A treated rice bran composition is also provided, which comprises fatty acid salts, inactivated lipase, organosulfites, between about 14% and about 16% by weight protein, and between about 8% and about 10% by weight fiber.

FRUIT FLAVORING IN THE IMAGE OF A FRUIT PORTION STORED WITH A VESSEL FOR FLAVORING A FLUID
An assembly and method are provided for storing and dispensing a soluble substance, such as a flavoring, into a liquid. A useful application of the subject invention includes the case where lime-flavored liquid is contained in a foam artificial lime stored in the neck of a beer bottle, attached to a beer bottle or can, or attached to the 6-pack or 12-pack carton. The artificial lime may be retrieved from the neck or a protective covering and acted upon so it diffuses the lime-flavored liquid into the beer when it is inserted into the beer bottle. Alternately, juice from the artificial lime may be squeezed into the beer, or the artificial lime may be simply retrieved and discarded. Rather than needing to buy a natural lime, cut it up and push a wedge into a beer bottle, an artificial lime, or a packaged natural lime, may be stored directly in or with the beer bottle and placed in functional contact with the beer at time of consumption.
