Abstract
The present invention provides a beverage and a dermatological composition comprising water molecules, the water molecules having oxygen atoms of different isotopes, the beverage being enriched in at least one of the oxygen isotopes, the enrichment being in reference to (i) the amount of that oxygen isotope in the water used to produce the beverage or (ii) the amount of that oxygen isotope in ground water, or (iii) Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water. The water molecules may be derived from a plant source, such as a juice, a sap or a tree water.

A process for preparing a beverage comprising steps of:
- obtaining water from plant material;
- processing the plant material in a commercial juice producing process into a juice comprising water and solids;
- evaporating the juice in an evaporation process;
- when the juice has a water content of 30% or less, capturing the evaporated water by a condenser to produce the beverage;
- and
- enriching the beverage in at least one of oxygen isotopes;
- wherein the at least one of oxygen isotopes is in a range of:
- for isotope 16O:
- 0.99738 to 0.99776 mole fraction;
- for isotope 17O:
- 3.7×10−4 to 4.0×10−4 mole fraction;
- and
- for isotope 18O:
- 1.88×10−3 to 2.22×10−3 mole fraction.
A process for preparing a topical dermatological composition comprising steps of:
- obtaining water from plant material;
- processing the plant material during a commercial juice-producing process into a juice comprising water and solids;
- evaporating the juice in an evaporation process during the commercial juice-producing process, and when the juice has a water content of 30% or less, condensing the evaporated water with a condenser to form a condensate;
- forming the topical dermatological composition from the condensate;
- and
- enriching the topical dermatological composition in at least one of oxygen isotopes;
- wherein the at least one of oxygen isotopes is in a range of:
- for isotope 16O:
- 0.99738 to 0.99776 mole fraction;
- for isotope 17O:
- 3.7×10−4 to 4.0×10−4 mole fraction;
- and
- for isotope 18O:
- 1.88×10−3 to 2.22×10−3 mole fraction.
A process for preparing a beverage comprising steps of:
- deriving an aqueous fraction of water from liquefied plant material as a by-product of a commercial juice-producing process;
- wherein the liquefied plant material has a water content of 30% or less, wherein the aqueous fraction of water is lower in heavy water than light water;
- subjecting the aqueous fraction of water to a multiple effect evaporator;
- obtaining a distilled fraction after the aqueous fraction of water is subject to the multiple effect evaporator;
- enriching the distilled fraction with a heavy water isotope in a range between 1 molecule per 10 total molecules and 1 molecule per 1000000 total molecules;
- wherein the heavy water isotope is in a range of:
- for isotope 16O:
- 0.99738 to 0.99776 mole fraction;
- for isotope 17O:
- 3.7×10−4 to 4.0×10−4 mole fraction;
- and
- for isotope 18O:
- 1.88×10−3 to 2.22×10−3 mole fraction;
- and
- adding a food grade additive, wherein the food grade additive comprises at least one of a coloring agent, a flavoring agent, an electrolyte, a sweetener, a preservative, a dissolved gas, an undissolved gas, a nutrient, a vitamin, a pharmaceutical agent, a probiotic and a prebiotic.
A process for preparing a beverage comprising steps of:
- liquefying plant material during a commercial juice producing process to produce a juice comprising water and solids;
- concentrating the juice through evaporation until the juice has a water content of about 30%;
- further concentrating the juice through evaporation until the juice has a water content of less than 30% down to 1% and substantially only solid material remains after the concentrating steps;
- condensing evaporate from the further concentrating of the juice with a condenser;
- collecting the condensed evaporate as captured water;
- producing the beverage from the captured water, wherein the beverage is enriched in at least one of oxygen isotopes;
- wherein the at least one of oxygen isotopes is in a range of:
- for isotope 16O:
- 0.99738 to 0.99776 mole fraction;
- for isotope 17O:
- 3.7×10−4 to 4.0×10−4 mole fraction;
- and
- for isotope 18O:
- 1.88×10−3 to 2.22×10−3 mole fraction.
