Abstract:
It is described a method for producing tablets for extraction of a liquid food product, wherein each tablet is formed starting from at least one ingredient in granular or powder form, and wherein, in order to form each tablet, a dosed and moistened amount of the ingredient is heated while contained in a confined volume. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing the ingredient in powder or granular form; b) loading at least one dosed amount of the ingredient into a respective forming cavity; c) heating the at least one dosed and moistened amount of the ingredient while contained in the respective forming cavity. Before step c), there is provided for a step for the selective moistening of each dosed amount of the ingredient is provided for, only at a surface layer thereof.
Abstract:
It is described a method for producing tablets for extraction of a liquid food product, wherein each tablet is formed starting from at least one ingredient in granular or powder form, and wherein, in order to form each tablet, a dosed and moistened amount of the ingredient is irradiated with microwaves while contained in a confined volume. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing the ingredient in powder or granular form; b) loading at least one dosed amount of the ingredient into a respective forming cavity; c) irradiating the at least one dosed and moistened amount of the ingredient while contained in the respective forming cavity. Step b) comprises loading a plurality of dosed amounts of the ingredient into respective forming cavities of a multi-cavity forming device, and step c) comprises introducing the multi-cavity forming device into a multimode cavity of a microwave oven, and thereafter removing the multi-cavity forming device from such cavity. The multimode cavity is prearranged in such a way that an irradiation of the microwaves thereinto causes heating of all dosed amounts of the ingredient in the respective forming cavities of the multi-cavity forming device, to form simultaneously a plurality of tablets each having a self-supporting structure.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards the use of granules in beverages, wherein the granules comprise (i) a milled carotenoid selected from the group consisting of lutein and zeaxanthin and any mixture thereof having the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 0.6 to 1.5 μm, and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 1.1 to 3.5 μm, and (ii) a matrix comprising at least one modified food starch, a glucose syrup and sucrose, (iii) a water-soluble antioxidant, wherein the granules have the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 200 to 300 μm, and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 220 to 320 μm, all D values as measured by laser diffraction according to the Fraunhofer scattering model, whereby the milled carotenoid is encapsulated by the matrix. The present invention is also directed towards the beverages and the granules as such, as well as to a process for the manufacture of the granules. Preferably the carotenoid is lutein, zeaxanthin or any mixture thereof.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an infusion product for making a beverage, such as a tea or tea-like drink. In order to produce the composition of the present disclosure, plant materials are contacted with a solvent to remove an extract. The remaining plant materials are then formed into a fibrous structure or network, such as a sheet or fibrous layer. The extract may be further treated or concentrated and then reapplied to the plant materials. In accordance with the present disclosure, the resulting sheet or layer is then reduced to discrete pieces having a unique particle size distribution. Through the process of the present disclosure, a composition is produced that not only has a minimal amount of fines and dust, but can also have a relatively low bulk density.
Abstract:
Powdered nutritional compositions that are readily dispersible in dairy products, such as milk and yogurt, are disclosed. The powdered nutritional compositions include powdered soluble fruit fiber, powdered insoluble fruit fiber, powdered soluble vegetable fiber, and powdered insoluble vegetable fiber in amounts that provide from 1/8 to 1/2 cup of serving fruit and from 1/8 to 1/2 cup of serving vegetable per serving of the powdered nutritional composition. The powdered nutritional composition may further comprise reconstitutable milk.
Abstract:
