Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a method for preparing cold-brewed freeze-dried coffee powder with fruit flavor. Background Art

[0002] In today's rapidly developing coffee market, consumers' demand for coffee quality, taste and flavor diversity is growing. Traditional coffee products mainly rely on factors such as the origin, variety and roasting process of coffee beans to shape their unique flavor, but this flavor is often limited to the aroma of the coffee beans themselves and the complex compounds produced by chemical reactions during the roasting process. Although these traditional coffee products already have a large consumer group, with the improvement of consumers' health awareness and the diversification of taste preferences, the market demand for innovative, healthy and unique coffee products is becoming more urgent.

[0003] In recent years, the coffee market has begun to explore cross-border integration with various ingredients to create a more novel and unique flavor experience. Among them, the combination of fruit and coffee has become a hot trend. Fruit, with its natural sweetness, acidity and rich fruity aroma, brings a new flavor level and taste experience to coffee. However, directly mixing fruit with coffee is often difficult to fully release the flavor substances in the fruit, and it is easy to affect the original flavor balance of the coffee.

[0004] In the traditional method of preparing cold-brewed freeze-dried coffee powder with fruit flavor, the macromolecules in the fruit raw materials are often difficult to be effectively released by conventional methods in the coffee preparation process, resulting in insufficient flavor fusion, affecting the taste and flavor complexity of the final product. Secondly, in the traditional coffee making process, the addition of fruit flavor mostly relies on direct mixing of essences or fruit particles. This method not only makes it difficult to maintain the fresh flavor and nutritional components of the fruit, but may also introduce unnecessary additives, affecting the health attributes of the product.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to optimize the existing methods, use bio-enzymatic hydrolysis technology to process fruit raw materials, and combine it with cold brew coffee technology to prepare coffee products that have rich fruit flavor and retain the original characteristics of coffee, bringing consumers a new coffee experience and meeting the market's urgent demand for high-quality, healthy, and uniquely flavored coffee products. Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical issues solved

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing cold-brewed freeze-dried coffee powder with fruit flavor, which decomposes macromolecular substances in fruits through enzymatic hydrolysis to release more natural flavor substances and nutrients, and then combines the fruit components after enzymatic hydrolysis with cold-brewed coffee liquid, and uses cold-brew technology to retain the original flavor and nutrients of the coffee. Finally, the mixed liquid is made into cold-brewed freeze-dried coffee powder that is easy to store and carry through freeze-drying technology. This preparation method not only significantly improves the flavor specificity and taste richness of coffee, but also retains the natural nutrients and active substances of fruits, making coffee products healthier and more nutritious. At the same time, the convenience of cold-brewed freeze-dried coffee powder also meets the personalized needs of consumers for coffee products under modern fast-paced lifestyles.
