Abstract
An improved method for aromatizing soluble coffee is described which results in a higher fixation of grinder gas aromas on a glyceride substrate and an improved quality jar aroma. The method involves liquid-liquid contact of the water phase, normally drained from equilibrated grinder gas and discarded, with a glyceride to recover valuable coffee aromatics in the glyceride. Further, reflux of liquid carbon dioxide is used to recover yet more valuable coffee aromatics in the glyceride. A 25 to 70% increase in aromatic yield is realized with an improvement to the aromatic quality of the aromatized glyceride and thereby the aromatized soluble coffee.
