Method for Converting Alcoholic Lees into High-Quality Consumable Products with Enhanced Flavor and Health Benefits

Absstract of: US20260218095A1

0000 The invention provides a method for converting alcoholic lees, a byproduct of winemaking, brewing, and distillation processes, into high-quality consumable products. The process involves collecting lees from sources such as wine, beer, whisky, brandy, and bourbon production, followed by purification through filtration, centrifugation, and washing. The lees may be optionally augmented with post-fermented or pre-fermented materials, as well as oak-derived compounds or tannins, to enhance nutritional content and flavor complexity. The purified lees are then dried using spray drying or freeze drying methods, ground into a fine powder, and optionally blended with tea leaves, herbs, or natural flavorings to create customizable products. The final product is packaged in food-grade, moisture-resistant materials and can be used for brewing beverages, culinary applications, or as a functional food ingredient. This method promotes sustainability by repurposing waste materials, offers health benefits through its bioactive compounds, and provides distinctive flavor profiles influenced by fermentation and barrel aging processes.

Cannabis Wine: Revolutionizing Fermentation with a Verified Process

Absstract of: US20260209658A1

0000 The invention provides a novel method for producing cannabis wine by fermenting the entire cannabis plant without the use of fruits or post-fermentation infusions. The process involves cleaning and decarboxylating the cannabis plant to activate cannabinoids, combining the prepared material with water and sugars, and fermenting under controlled conditions using yeast strains capable of surviving in cannabinoid-rich environments. After fermentation, the liquid is separated from plant solids, stabilized, and aged to preserve cannabinoids and terpenes. The resulting beverage delivers a naturally balanced profile of alcohol and cannabis-derived compounds, offering a consistent, smooth, and integrated product. This method ensures uniform cannabinoid extraction and natural flavor development while maintaining compliance with safety and quality standards.
