APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS FERMENTATION
A hybrid continuous fermentation system and related process for fermenting sugars to produce alcohol containing liquors. The system includes a fermentor arranged with a packed bed region and a fluidized bed region. A yeast bed is retained in the packed bed region using a retention matrix and flocculation. A sugar supply is directed through the yeast bed with sufficient dwell time for satisfactory sugar conversion. The fluidized bed region is arranged to allow fermented product to pass through the fermentor while allowing yeast cell growth and retention. A nutrient may be added to the fermentor to aid in yeast flocculation. The fermentor is sized and shaped to allow sufficient dwell time of the sugar supply in the packed bed region and in the fluidized bed region to maximize sugar conversion to ethanol by fermentation.

CORN MEAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PRODUCTION
Compositions derived from grain-to-ethanol fermentation processes and methods of producing the compositions are provided. The compositions may be corn meal products generated by fractionating corn kernels to isolate the endosperm, converting starch in the endosperm to sugar at temperatures less than 150-180° F., fermenting the sugar, and separating out the resulting solids. The solids may undergo a protein extraction process, and then undergo a solvent exchange to remove water from the solids and re-place it with a more volatile chemical, such as ethanol. The solids are then dried at less than 150-180° F. The resulting meal product may include protein in an amount ranging from about 31 to about 45%, up to about 3% fat, up to about 3% ash, a neutral detergent fiber in an amount ranging from about 32 to about 50%, and up to about 15% starch, all on a dry weight basis.

PREPARATION AND THE USE OF FROZEN DOUGH FOR MICROWAVABLE FRIED FRITTERS
It relates to the manufacturing and preparation of frozen dough, and its application in microwaveable fried food. The preparation of fried fritters comprises the following steps: disposal of raw materials, dough kneading, dough proofing for the first time, dough folding, dough proofing for the second time, making blanks, frying and quick-freezing. Alum as the acidic component in leavening agents is replaced by a complex formulation of gluconic acid-δ-lactone, glycerol monolaurate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate, thus reducing the toxicity of the dough. The fried fritters preparing by the dough of the present invention possess a good expansion rate, crispness and taste, and should satisfy consumer demands for quality food products that can be reheated by microwaving.

Beverage Packaging Configuration with a Short Fill Level for Mixed Drinks
Disclosed herein is a beverage packaging configuration whereby mix and base beverages are packaged in a single package, and the base beverage containers are not filled completely with the base beverage. The space within each base beverage container remaining above the base beverage volume provides space in the base container for the correct proportion of at least one mix beverage to be poured into the base beverage container to create a reproducible mixed drink. One exemplary embodiment provides for a single mix beverage container which contains a volume of mix beverage equally divisible between the volume remaining in a plurality of base beverage containers. Another exemplary embodiment includes more than one mix beverage container which may contain different mix beverages. This invention removes the necessity of transporting a dispensing apparatus, such as a shot glass or volumetric dispenser or measuring glass, and also removes the need for a separate cup or glass in which to mix the base and mix beverages together, as provided in U.S. Pat. No. 8,181,781.

NANOTECHNOLOGY SMART STICKER FOR USE WITH PERISHABLE FOODS
A “smart sticker” employing nanotechnology for determining the current state of raw meat for safe human consumption is provided. The sticker indicates the quality to the consumer by providing a color changing indicator on the sticker. The sticker employs carbon nanoparticles containing iron, which are placed on an underside portion of the sticker in contact with the raw meat. The nanoparticles serve as “bait” for the harmful bacteria. When pathogenic bacteria sense the presence of iron, it produces certain molecules to sequester the iron. Those molecules move to the area where the iron is present in the sticker, which can then determine the amount of pathogenic bacteria present in the meat by way of a chemical reaction with a particular ink containing a novel additive, which reacts with the molecules secreted by the pathogens. Once this interaction occurs, the ink changes color from, for example, blue to yellow.
