CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 812,946, filed March 1, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] This document relates to materials and processes for the manufacture of coffee-like products from individual components. BACKGROUND

[0003] Traditional coffee production methods are often lengthy and costly, involving the harvesting of demanding crops, followed by processing, drying, and milling steps (e.g., dehulling, polishing, sorting, and / or grading). Each component of the traditional, geographically limited process is subject to inherent variability and risk, including changing climates, plant diseases, and contamination, which render such methods and the resulting products inconsistent from batch to batch and year to year. Traditional coffee production methods require inaccurate practices, and it can be difficult to account for all irregularities, with the final product often adulterated with ingredients to mask imperfections. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0004] This document is based, at least in part, on the identification of compounds that contribute to the taste and aroma of coffee and on the development of processes for combining these compounds to obtain coffee replicates (e.g., as solids such as bean replicates, flour replicates, or granule replicates, or as liquids) that have the taste, aroma, and other characteristics of traditionally produced coffees. Because each ingredient is added individually, the processes disclosed herein reduce many of the risks and variability associated with traditional coffee production, which can vary by region, farm, or year. In some cases, one or more ingredients (e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% of the ingredients) may be highly defined (e.g., by batch analysis). In some cases, one or more ingredients (e.g.,at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% of the ingredients) must be highly pure (e.g., at least 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 99.9% pure). The processes also allow for infinite reproducibility of a recipe, which is not possible with conventional production methods. Furthermore, the processes described herein allow unique flexibility in optimizing the flavors, aromas, and textures of coffee, reducing or even eliminating the possibility that the resulting coffee may contain harmful or undesirable components. Furthermore, the methods disclosed here differ from currently existing methods in that they are rapid, reproducible, and cost-effective.

[0005] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains. While similar or equivalent methods and materials to those described herein may be used to practice the invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In the event of any inconsistency, this specification, including definitions, controls. Furthermore, the materials, methods, and examples are merely illustrative and should not be considered limiting.

[0011] The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the following description. Further features, objects, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description and the claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] This document provides coffee-like products (e.g., solids and liquids) and methods for producing coffee-like products by combining individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and non-volatile organic compounds with or without other components. Compounds referred to herein as "VOCs" can be measured by GCMS. Compounds referred to herein as "non-volatile compounds" can be measured by LCMS. Although some compounds could be measured by either GCMS or LCMS, for the purposes of this disclosure, a compound is either a VOC or a non-volatile compound.For a compound not specifically described here, the compound may be considered either a VOC or a non-volatile compound based on factors such as similarity to the compounds described here and the method (GCMS or LCMS) that one of ordinary skill in the art would select for its analysis.

[0013] Generally, these products may be referred to as "coffee-like products" or "coffee replicas." Examples of coffee solids include beans, ground coffee, and granules (e.g., as used in ready-to-drink or instant coffee, for granules). Accordingly, this document provides replicas of these solids, which may be referred to as "coffee-like beans" or "coffee bean replicas," "coffee-like ground coffee," or "coffee ground replicas," or "coffee-like granules," or "coffee granule replicas." Examples of coffee liquids (e.g., solutions, suspensions, or emulsions) include coffee beverages (e.g., a ready-to-drink beverage) or coffee concentrates. Accordingly, this document provides replicas of these liquids, which may be referred to as "coffee-like beverages" or "coffee beverage replicas," or "coffee-like concentrates" or "coffee concentrate replicas."It is understood that coffee granule replicas, while solid in form, are dehydrated versions of coffee beverage replicas or coffee concentrate replicas. The coffee-like products described herein may exhibit characteristics—including taste, aroma, mouthfeel, and appearance—of traditionally produced coffee and are intended to be consumed and enjoyed in the same manner as traditional coffee.

[0014] For the purposes of this invention, the terms "traditional" and "comparative" coffee refer to coffee products produced using standard coffee brewing methods, including growing, drying, and grinding coffee beans. "Traditionally brewed coffee" refers to coffee produced using a standard coffee brewing method.

[0015] At the chemical level, traditional coffees are complex blends. In some aspects, the present document provides coffee replicas that are less complex than a traditional coffee. It is surprising that the replicas disclosed herein do not need to have the complexity of a traditional coffee to be perceived as such. It is also surprising that some compounds that individually have an unpleasant taste and / or odor can enhance the taste and / or odor of the coffee replicas disclosed herein. It is further surprising that the exclusion of some compounds that were present in all of the traditional coffees tested was not detrimental to the coffee replicas described here. Similarly, it is surprising that some compounds that were not found in any of the traditional coffees tested might be beneficial to the coffee replicas described here.It is also surprising that the coffee replicates described here, which contain some compounds at levels greater than the highest measured amount in a tested traditional coffee or less than the lowest measured amount in a tested traditional coffee, are superior to replicates containing the same compounds at levels within the measured range of traditional coffee. Therefore, according to another aspect, the present document provides coffee replicates that are not merely replicas of existing products, but instead offer a similar sensory experience with a different chemical composition.

[0016] According to some embodiments, a coffee replica may consist of the ingredients included in a particular list or have a VOC (or non-volatile compound) content consisting of the VOCs or non-volatile compounds included in a particular list. Furthermore, a coffee replica may consist essentially of the ingredients included in a particular list or have a VOC (or non-volatile compound) content consisting essentially of the VOCs or non-volatile compounds included in a particular list. By "consisting essentially of" is meant that a coffee replica contains certain ingredients / VOCs / non-volatile compounds and may contain additional ingredients / VOCs / non-volatile compounds that do not significantly affect the basic and novel properties of the coffee.

[0017] In general, coffee replicas contain the following components or classes of components: a) one or more VOCs and b) one or more non-volatile compounds.

[0018] In some cases, coffee beverage replicas or coffee concentrate replicas may contain the following components or classes of components: a) one or more VOCs, b) one or more non-volatile compounds and c) Water, either pure or with mineral content to improve taste.

[0019] In some cases, coffee bean replicas or coffee ground replicas may contain the following components or classes of components: a) one or more VOCs, b) one or more non-volatile compounds and c) a solid substrate.

[0020] The VOCs can provide both aroma and flavor, including fruity, floral, green, earthy, herbal, roasted / burnt, sour / fermented, creamy, spicy, and / or mineral aromas and flavors. The non-volatile components (and the solid substrate) can provide acidity and much of the flavor, sweetness, aftertaste, physical structure, and mouthfeel perception of the coffee replicates.

[0021] According to some embodiments, a coffee replica may include: (a) one or more VOCs, wherein at least one of the one or more VOCs is not present in a corresponding comparison coffee; (b) one or more VOCs, wherein the one or more VOCs do not include at least one VOC that is present in a corresponding comparison coffee; (c) one or more non-volatile compounds, wherein at least one of the one or more non-volatile compounds is not present in a corresponding comparison coffee; (d) one or more non-volatile compounds, wherein the one or more non-volatile compounds do not include at least one non-volatile compound that is present in a corresponding comparison coffee; or (e) any combination of (a), (b), (c), and (d) [(a) and (b); (a) and (c); (a) and (d); (b) and (c); (b) and (d); (c) and (d); (a), (b) and (c); (a), (b) and (d);(a), (c) and (d); (b), (c) and (d); or (a), (b), (c) and (d)]. According to some embodiments, a liquid coffee replica may be characterized by: (f) one or more VOCs, wherein the one or more VOCs are present in the coffee replica in a total amount of at least 100 mg / L. Characteristic (f) may be combined with any combination of (a)-(d) as described above.;

[0022] The amounts of VOCs and non-volatile compounds described in the examples in Round 1 are based on coffee prepared from 75 ± 10 g of beans (subsequently ground) and brought to a total volume of 1740 ml with water.
