AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, it does not teach how to prepare roasted coffee products with reduced chlorogenic acid lactone levels while substantially maintaining chlorogenic acid levels
[0014] Furthermore, none of the above-mentioned documents seem to distinguish between chlorogenic acid and chlorogenic acid lactone, and thus do not address the question of how to reduce the latter component without significantly reducing the content of chlorogenic acid

Embodiment 1

[0105] Example 1: Enzymatic treatment of soluble coffee

[0106] Roast and grind Robusta coffee beans. An aqueous extract is then prepared by treating the ground coffee beans at a temperature of 110 to 130°C to extract approximately 25% by weight of the product of the total weight of the ground coffee beans. The extract was spray dried.

[0107] Dissolve 15g of dry coffee extract in 500ml of boiling water. After cooling to room temperature, the coffee solution (50ml) was distributed into eight 100ml flasks. Different amounts of immobilized hog liver esterase (0.2 U / mg of coffee, 0.5 U / mg of coffee, and 1 U / mg of coffee) were added to the coffee solution. The flask was immersed in a water bath heated to 40°C, and samples were taken after 0, 2, and 4 hours of reaction time. The mixture was filtered (150 mm diameter filter) to remove enzymes and the obtained coffee solution was diluted to 1.3% t.s. for sensory analysis.

Embodiment 2

[0121] Example 2: Treatment with Sorbent

[0122] Robusta coffee extract was obtained as described in Example 1.

[0123] Method 1 (Samples 7 to 14)

[0124] To 3 g Robusta extract in 200 mL Millipore water was added 3 g Polyclar / P VPP (from Sigma) or 3 g activated carbon (Norit C granular) or 3 g XAD4 or XAD 16 (both from Supelco). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours, then filtered through filter paper (plus celite in the case of activated carbon). The recovered and partially saturated sorbent was used in the same manner for two further consecutive batches of freshly brewed coffee. The filtrate was lyophilized in a Virtis Benchtop K unit.

[0125] Method 2 (Sample 15)

[0126] Continuous processing was carried out on a XAD 16 (30 g, 2 cm inner diameter x 20 cm height column) as follows. The sorbent was suspended in water and washed with water, ethanol and water again, then packed into a column. With it the coffee extract (1.5% t.s.) was continuo...

Embodiment 3

[0142] Embodiment 3: solvent extraction

[0143] Robusta coffee extract was obtained as described in Example 1. 3 g of Robusta coffee extract dissolved in 20 mL of Millipore water was extracted with 200 mL of ethyl acetate. A second batch of fresh coffee extract (3 g in 200 mL) was treated with organic extraction and step 2 was repeated 2 times. The obtained coffee extracts were separated separately using ethanol (3 times each), and finally freeze-dried.

[0144] Sensory / Analytic Evaluation

[0145] Sensory / analytical evaluation of the coffee fractions was performed as described above. The results are shown in the table below.

Abstract

A coffee product derived from roast and ground coffee beans has reduced levels of chlorogenic acid lactones relative to the levels of chlorogenic acids. The product can be prepared by treating a coffee extract with an enzyme so as to hydrolyse at least a portion of the chlorogenic acid lactones present in the extract. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided by contacting a coffee extract with a sorbent or solvent which is suitable for removing apolar components and is at least partially saturated with chlorogenic acid. The product has reduced bitterness.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to coffee products, methods of preparing coffee products, and the use of enzymes, sorbents and / or solvent extraction for the treatment of coffee extracts to provide the products. Background technique [0002] Coffee beverages are generally produced in 3 steps, including roasting green coffee beans, grinding the roasted beans, and then extracting the coffee components from the ground beans. During the roasting step, heat treatment produces many aroma and taste molecules that are not present in the original green coffee beans. The chemical transformations involved in the roasting process are numerous and have not been fully elucidated so far. Reactions and chemical transformations known to occur during roasting include, for example, dehydration, Maillard reactions, caramelization, pyrolysis, hydrolysis, and fragmentation. [0003] Bitterness in coffee is known to be a result of the roasting process. It is influenced not o...
