The invention discloses a method for impregnating coffee beans with
fructose under the assistance of ultrasonic
waves, and relates to the technical field of
food processing, and the method is technically characterized by comprising the following steps: selecting Robursta coffee beans with the
moisture content of 10-12%; mixing with a 5%
fructose solution according to a
solid-
liquid ratio of 1: 4, treating for 5-20 minutes (preferably 5 minutes) under ultrasonic
waves of 40 kHz and 120 W, and totally impregnating for 4 hours; performing
forced air drying at 40 DEG C for 23h until the
water content is 10- And baking at the temperature of 175 DEG C for 7-8 minutes. A
honeycomb net structure is formed on the surface of the coffee beans through ultrasonic treatment, the total
sugar content is remarkably increased to 54.65 mg / g,
amino acid composition is affected, and bioactive substances such as
polyphenol and flavone are increased. The
score of the baked coffee beans is more than 72 (the
score of the coffee beans is 74.92 after the coffee beans are subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 5 minutes) through an SCA cup test, and the coffee beans have caramel fragrance, nut fragrance and smoother mouth feel. The method is simple and convenient to operate, low in cost and capable of effectively improving the
flavor quality of the Robursta coffee.
