摘要:
A method of forming an agglomerated foaming coffee composition, the method comprising the step of agglomerating a coffee composition, the majority of the coffee composition by weight consisting of particles of foaming soluble coffee, wherein at least some of the particles of foaming soluble coffee have not been milled prior to their agglomeration.

Disclosed is a water-soluble carrier comprising pullulan and maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalent in the range of 4 to 40. The weight ratio of maltodextrin to pullulan is greater than 3. The carrier is especially suited for use in blocks such as beverage precursors for tea based beverages.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a flavored instant coffee product comprising a creamer base, a sweetener base, and a flavor base, wherein the creamer base is agglomerated to the sweetener base, and the flavor base is coated on the agglomerated creamer and sweetener bases, and wherein the flavor base comprises instant coffee and flavorings. The present invention further relates to a process for making such a flavored instant coffee product, by steam agglomerating the creamer base to the sweetener base.
摘要:
Le procédé concerne la fabrication d'un produit alimentaire en poudre à base d'un extrait soluble de café desséché par pulvérisation extrait "spray" et broyé à une granulométrie inférieure à 300 mum. Afin de donner au consommateur une sensation similaire à celle du café traditionnel, on additionne à l'extrait soluble broyé 2 à 20 % de café torréfié finement broyé. On additionne également 5 à 10 % d'un polysaccharide tel que la maltodextrine, finement broyé. Ces composants sont mélangés de manière homogène, puis agglomérés par humidification et séchage pour former des grains particulièrement poreux. Quand ils sont jetés dans l'eau, ces grains éclatent très rapidement, ce qui disperse les particules qui les composent.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process and apparatus to agglomerate soluble coffee particles. The process comprises feeding a curtain of soluble coffee particles to an agglomerator. The curtain falls between a pair of steam distributors (66, 68) which spray steam which intersects the particles causing wetting and fusion of coffee particles to form agglomerates. The moist agglomerates pass through a tempering zone where they are partially surface dried by a draft of laminar air of a temperature less than 200°F (93.3°C) which moves downward with the agglomerates. The agglomerates are collected on a moving continuous belt (48), transferred to a drier and are subsequently dried to a moisture content of 5% or less. A process is also disclosed for darkening a light-colour, granular soluble coffee product.
