摘要:
Plant sterols and plant sterol esters have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols and plant stanols are incorporated into compositions which are dispersible in water by complexing the hydrophobic lipids with water-soluble carbohydrates. The resulting plant sterol-carbohydrate complexes are in an aqueous or powder form which can be readily incorporated with food products in an amount effective to reduce serum cholesterol levels in a human consuming such food product, without adversely modifying the organoleptic properties of the food product.

The invention relates to aromatization particles comprising a water-soluble coffee matrix and an aromatizing composition comprising volatile characteristic coffee aroma constituents wherein said particles are essentially fat-free and contain essentially no coffee oil, its derivatives or vegetable oil and wherein said water-soluble coffee matrix contains a physically entrapped separate phase comprised of said volatile characteristic coffee aroma constituents, a process for producing same and food products containing same.
摘要:
The present invention provides a pod for preparing a beverage comprising: a lower compartment (31) defining a storage volume containing a water-soluble composition or a combination or mixture of water-soluble compositions for forming a beverage; the lower compartment comprising an upper surface (27) containing one or more apertures (25) forming an inlet of the lower compartment (31) and a lower surface formed at least partially from filtering material (12), the filtering material forming an outlet of the pod; the pod further comprising an open-topped upper compartment (21) above the lower compartment (31) which defines a chamber suitable for receiving one or more flexible pads containing one or more beverage ingredients; wherein an outlet of the chamber of the upper compartment communicates with the inlet of the lower compartment, wherein the apertures (25) of the inlet of the lower compartment are arranged for showering and or jetting in use water into the lower compartment (31).
摘要:
A pad for preparing a beverage comprising: an upper part comprising a rigid or semi-rigid upper element containing one or more apertures forming an inlet of the pad; a flexible lower element depending from the upper part and formed at least partially from filtering material, the filtering material forming an outlet of the pad; the upper part and lower element together defining a storage volume containing a water-soluble composition or a combination or mixture of water-soluble compositions for forming a beverage, wherein the upper part comprises a flexible water-impermeable layer joined to the rigid or semi-rigid upper element.
