摘要:
A wrapped food product, the food product being preferably in the form of an infusion product, in particular in the form of a material in the form of powder, granules or pieces, such as tea, camomile, coffee or other, wrapped in a respective wrapper; the wrapper being made of biodegradable and/or organic film, which is wrapped around and closely connected, or adherent, to the material.
摘要:
A product having an internal substance protected by a rugged exterior shell is disclosed. The internal substance is reactive with the exterior shell but is separated therefrom by a coating on an interior surface of the external shell so that the product can be stored for a long period of time without the internal substance reacting with the exterior shell. The coating is meltable so that, when desired, the product may be heated (e.g. immersed in hot water or exposed to heat) in order to melt the coating so that the internal substance can react with the external shell so that the internal substance can excrete out of the exterior shell.
摘要:
A process for processing a powdered or granular product, in particular in the form of a food-stuff, especially a product for infusion such as coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, preparation for broth and others, involves adding a liquid to a predetermined portion of the product and applying energy to the predetermined portion of product. Moreover, a layer (12) of material is made to adhere to a corresponding face (13) of a pre-determined portion of the product.
摘要:
A novel dissolution agent, and its use in the manufacture of instant (flavored and unflavored) beverage products, (coffee, hot chocolate, teas, creamy juice drinks, milk shakes, nutritional drinks, and the like, especially instant coffee products), that have improved mouthfeel (“creaminess”, “richness”, “body”, “complexity”, “body-richness”, “substantial”) and thickness, without “sliminess” or “stringiness”. This novel dissolution agent may also be used to make a binder solution that will be used during manufacturing in the agglomeration process. The instant beverage products made according to the present invention, (especially preferred are instant coffee products), can deliver a creamy, rich, preferably foamy, beverage with a clean, improved mouthfeel and thickness without “sliminess” or “stringiness”, as well as a higher flavor impact, at a lower dosage of solids (5-10%, preferably 6.5-8.5%, and more preferably 7.5%).
摘要:
A rapidly-dissolving, sugar-free beverage tablet is made by formulating a mix containing from 20% to 70% mannitol, from 1% to 20% water-soluble CO.sub.2 -generator, intensive sweetener and food acid. The mix is compressed in an externally-lubricated tabletting press to produce a friable tablet which is then surface glazed to produce a structurally stable tablet.
摘要:
Method for agglomerating finely divided particulate solid materials which are capable of agglomerating by intersurface moisture for inter-particle adherence. A mass of the particulate material in a cool atmosphere in an agglomeration zone is simultaneously agitated and subjected to electromagnetic radiation to cause the free moisture contained within the particles to appear in liquid state at the surfaces of the particles so that, with the agitation causing random particle-to-particle contact, agglomeration by inter-particle adherence occurs in the same manner as if extraneous moisture had been introduced. Advantageously, radio frequency energy is employed to accomplish dielectric heating of the moisture within the particle, the moisture escaping to the surface of the particle but persisting there in liquid state because the solid matter of the particle is not heated to a temperature such as to cause unduly rapid vaporization of the moisture. In addition to accomplishing agglomeration without adding extraneous moisture, the method has the advantages of reducing the moisture content and essentially sterilizing the agglomerated material.
摘要:
A dry article for the preparation of instant beverages when combined with a liquid. The article comprises a stick, a first solid, liquid-soluble mass comprising beverage base material and at least one second solid, liquid-soluble mass comrising flavoring material for said base material. The first and second masses are bonded to the stick in side-by-side relationship, the second or flavoring mass being adjacent one end of the stick so that it can be removed if the user prefers to prepare the beverage without the flavoring material. The stick serves as a handle for the dry article and as a stirrer to facilitate dissolution of the base material and the flavoring material, if present, in the liquid.
摘要:
A METHOD OF PRODUCING UNIT PORTIONS OF INSTANT COFFEE OR TEA WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF MIXING DRY COFFEE OR TEA CONCENTRATE WITH A BINDER SUBSTANCE AND FORMING THE RESULTING COHERENT COMPOSITION INTO UNIT PORTIONS. THE BINDER SUBSTANCE COMPRISES EITHER A MIXTURE OF A FAT WHICH IS SOLID OR SEMI-SOLID AT ROOM TENPERATURE AND AN EMULSIFIER OF A MIXTURE OF A FATTY ACID WHICH IS SOLID OR SEMI-SOLID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND A SUBSTANCE CAPABLE OF FORMING A WATER-SOLUBLE SALT WITH THE FATTY ACID. THE PROPORTIONS OF THE DRY COFFEE OR TEA CONCENTRATE TO THE FAT OR FATTY ACID SHOULD LIE IN THE RANGE FROM 2:1 TO 1:3.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a solid composition that provides floral aroma when added to a medium such as water. The solid composition comprises linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.015 to 0.215.
