Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food and beverages, and in particular to a cold-brewed coffee essence applied to beverages and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The main components of coffee essence include a series of volatile compounds that can produce the unique aroma and flavor of coffee. These components mainly come from the roasting process of coffee beans and are mainly used to enhance the flavor of coffee. It is made by extracting the aroma components of coffee or through synthetic chemical methods. Coffee essence is mostly used in coffee drinks, baked goods, candy and chocolate to give them a strong coffee flavor.

[0003] Coffee extraction is an important step in the preparation process of coffee flavor. Its main purpose is to dissolve the soluble solids in coffee in water. Full dissolution, over-extraction or uneven extraction will affect the taste of coffee, resulting in uneven taste, unbalanced sourness and bitterness, and affecting the sweet aroma of the coffee itself. The cold brew process is to dissolve the soluble solids in the coffee by mixing coffee powder with low-temperature water and soaking it for a long time. The extraction process is simple, and the taste of cold brew coffee is smoother than traditional coffee, with a sweet aftertaste, and it is becoming more and more popular. However, the cold brew coffee essence obtained by cold brewing lacks mellow flavor. In addition, the cold brew process takes a long time and the production cycle is long. Summary of the invention
