摘要:
Provided are modified coffee and/or cacao, and/or coffee-substitute and/or cacao/chocolate-substitute compositions, and methods of making same, comprising cross-Maillardized substrate carrier materials (e.g., plant materials, etc.), or non-cross-Maillardized carrier materials, having cross-Maillardized reaction products providing for improved and/or more organoleptically accurate coffee-substitute or cacao/chocolate-substitute compositions. These coffee or cacao/chocolate, and/or coffee-substitute and/or ca-cao/chocolate-substitute compositions, comprise extracts, kernels, grounds, powders beverages, concentrates, flavorings, etc., based thereon, with or preferably without coffee or cacao beans. The methods comprise contacting a substrate carrier material, having endogenous Maillard-reactive nitrogen and/or carbohydrate constituents, with an exogenous Maillard reagent comprising exogenous Mail-lard-reactive nitrogen and/or carbohydrate constituents, wherein the exogenous Maillard reagent comprises elevated levels of e.g., leucine, to provide conditioned substrate carrier materials, for reacting to produce cross-Maillardized products. Cross-Maillard-primed substrate carrier materials, are provided, along with regenerated spent coffee and non-coffee grounds. Modified cocoa, chocolate and/or chocolate-substitute compositions (e.g., bars, chips, etc.) are also provided.

摘要:
A coffee-like beverage is disclosed which is produced solely with cacao or cocoa beans. The product is produced by roasting the cacao beans, then grinding them into a granulated cacao substrate or dry granular coffee-like brewable product, and then brewing that granulated cacao substrate or coffee-like product into a beverage that is richly unique in flavor. A number of preferred methods for producing such a coffee-like drink and the brewable coffee-like product are also disclosed. One such method provides for the incorporation of an additional portion of husk material to enhance the product.
摘要:
The soluble roasted natural chicory in powder form is characterized by a high content of inulin and fructo oligosaccharides (FOS) exceeding 40% by weight relative to the dry matter. Its color index as measured by the absorbance of a 1% solution at 500 nm lies in the range 0.4 to 0.7. In addition, its combined content of fructose plus glucose is greater than 5%, preferably lying in the range 7% to 9% by weight relative to the dry matter. The method of production comprises the following steps: a) dehydrating fresh roots in order to obtain cossettes; b) roasting the cossettes at a temperature of about 130null C. with reduced moisture content in the roaster; c) cooling and pounding the roasted cossettes; d) extracting chicory by passing hot water over the roasted and pounded cossettes; and e) atomizing the chicory extract.
摘要:
The method of the invention is charecterized by preparing a layer of a foodstuff, without prior moistening, which foodstuff is in the form of a soluble powder based either on chicory alone or on a mixture containing at least one-third by weight of chicory, in raising the layer in ambient air to a temperature that is sufficient for surface melting the chicory powder, and then in cooling it. After the cooling operation, the resulting layer of agglomerating powder can be crushed, ground, and screened in order to obtain a product in granular form, preferably having grain size lying in the range 0.5 mm to 3 mm. The layer of powder may also be placed in a mold so as to obtain a product in the form of a compact slab of agglomerated powder whose outside shape matches that of the mold.
摘要:
A strong, molasses-type flavor associated with cereal-based coffee-like beverages is eliminated by agglomeration therewith of a minor portion of roasted carob powder.
