Method and means for processing beverages

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for processing including manufacturing and/or packaging and/or preserving beverages, which includes the step of adding a suitable plant material or plant material blend to a substrate within a vessel so as to mitigate or reduce or prevent the manifestation of a specific beverage impediment. The beverages are non-fermented, or at least partially fermented alcohol, or reductive fermented alcohol (where oxidization during manufacture has been kept to a minimum), or at least partially de-alcoholised. The plant material or plant material blend functions as a biochemical active component and reserve pool (depot) within the beverage or vessel. The invention also discloses an arrangement for the processing and packaging of beverages.
