Abstract

The invention regards an aroma extraction unit, comprising: a hydration tank containing a mixture of plants or parts thereof and a liquid, said tank configured to contain a positive gas flow pressure, a shearing unit configured for shearing the plants or parts thereof, a hydrodynamic cavitation unit, and at least one circulation unit, wherein the hydration tank, shearing unit, cavitation unit are in fluid communication, and the at least one circulation unit is configured for circulating the mixture from the tank into the shearing unit, further into the cavitation unit, and from the cavitation unit back into the tank and/or shearing unit.

IPC Classes  ?

• C12C 3/08 - Solvent extracts from hops
• C12C 5/02 - Additives for beer
• C12C 11/11 - Post fermentation treatments, e.g. carbonation or concentration
• C12C 7/28 - After-treatment
