Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a coffee latte and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, coffee drinks have gradually become the standard for urban white-collar workers and are also loved by more and more young office workers. Chain brand coffee shops such as Starbucks and Luckin Coffee are developing rapidly. Compared with freshly brewed coffee in coffee shops, ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee drinks have more diverse sales channels and a relatively long shelf life, and can be more conveniently chosen by consumers. In addition to the layout of coffee drinks by traditional beverage manufacturers, freshly brewed coffee chain brands are also gradually launching RTD coffee drinks to meet the needs of different consumers. Compared with traditional freshly ground coffee, RTD coffee latte drinks have high-temperature sterilization during industrial processing, which can easily damage the coffee flavor. At the same time, since coffee raw materials generally have a lower pH, it is easy to cause the denaturation of protein in milk during the mixing process with milk, which has an adverse effect on the taste and tissue state. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize the processing technology of RTD coffee latte to achieve the flavor and taste of cold-brewed fresh coffee latte to maintain the same level as the freshly brewed coffee in the store. CN112889919B discloses a coffee milk and a preparation method thereof, wherein a method for solving the problem of protein denaturation in the mixture of milk and acidic coffee liquid is to add a certain proportion of ingredient water to dilute the raw materials. Although this method can reduce the protein denaturation when the milk and the acidic raw materials are mixed, the addition of ingredient water at the same time has a certain impact on the rich and mellow flavor of milk and coffee. In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a coffee latte and a preparation method thereof.

[0004] Specifically, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a coffee latte, which is made from raw materials including milk, coffee liquid and coffee powder; the temperature of the coffee liquid and coffee powder in the milk is 15-35°C; the homogenization and sterilization steps are included after the materials are blended; the homogenization parameter is 200-260bar; the sterilization parameter is 121-130°C, 4-6s.

[0005] The method provided by the present invention comprehensively optimizes the chemical temperature, homogenization parameters and sterilization parameters in the coffee latte processing technology. Compared with the traditional RTD coffee latte, gellan gum, carrageenan, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, monoglyceride, sucrose ester, modified starch and other food additives are often used as stabilizing system additives in the formula to ensure the shelf life stability of the product, and sodium bicarbonate is used for acid-base adjustment. The method provided by the present invention reduces the overall heat index of the product through reasonable formulation and process optimization of chemical temperature, homogenization parameters and sterilization parameters, thereby ensuring the stability of the product system without adding stabilizers and achieving a simple formula. Furthermore, the conventional coffee latte formula is complex, and the chemical temperature needs to be maintained at 60-80°C to ensure sufficient chemical materials. The method provided by the present invention completes the chemical processing of coffee raw materials under low temperature conditions, which can not only retain the flavor substances of coffee itself and improve the taste of the product, but also reduce the high acidity of the coffee raw materials themselves and the denaturation of proteins in milk at high temperatures, thereby ensuring the particle size distribution and smoothness of the product system.

[0006] Preferably, in the present invention, the material preparation comprises the following steps: adding coffee liquid and coffee powder to milk at 15-35°C in sequence, cyclically shearing for 5-20 minutes, and cooling to 4-15°C for standby use.

[0008] Preferably, in the present invention, the raw materials for preparing the coffee latte also include a sweet ingredient; and the amount of the sweet ingredient is ≤5 parts by mass.

[0009] Preferably, in the present invention, the sweetening ingredient is selected from sugar, sugar substitute or fruit juice.

[0010] Preferably, in the present invention, the sweet ingredient is fruit juice; the amount of the fruit juice is 0.5-1 part by mass.

[0011] Preferably, in the present invention, the juice and coffee liquid are premixed to obtain a premixed liquid; and then the premixed liquid and coffee powder are sequentially added to the milk for dissolution. The acidity of the juice itself may affect the stability of the protein in the milk. In this preferred solution, the juice and coffee liquid are premixed to neutralize the acidity before adding them to the milk, which is more conducive to the stability of the coffee latte product.

[0012] Preferably, in the present invention, the raw materials for preparing the coffee latte also include lactase; the amount of lactase used is ≤0.1 parts by mass.

[0013] Preferably, in the present invention, no stabilizer component is added to the raw materials for preparing the coffee latte; and as measured by a LUM stability analyzer, the stability clarity index of the coffee latte is <0.3 (measured on the day of sample preparation).

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the coffee latte described in the first aspect, wherein the coffee latte is made from raw materials including milk, coffee liquid and coffee powder; the temperature of the coffee liquid and coffee powder in the milk is 15-35°C; the process includes homogenization and sterilization steps; the homogenization parameters are 200-260bar; and the sterilization parameters are 121-130°C, 4-6s.

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] The present invention provides a coffee latte and a preparation method thereof, wherein the coffee latte is prepared from raw materials including milk, coffee liquid and coffee powder; the temperature of the coffee liquid and coffee powder in the milk is 15-35°C; the steps of homogenization and sterilization are included after the materials are blended; the homogenization parameter is 200-260 bar; the sterilization parameter is 121-130°C, 4-6s. The method provided by the present invention can reduce the protein denaturation in milk caused by the high acidity of the coffee raw material, ensure the particle size distribution and smooth taste of the product system; and the product can ensure the stability of the system without adding a stabilizer, so as to achieve a simple formula.
