Abstract
A method of intensifying the flavor of soluble coffee. Soluble coffee is heated at a temperature and for a time sufficient to intensify the flavor of the coffee without causing carbohydrate pyrolysis characterized by evolution of carbon dioxide. The heated coffee is cooled to produce a soluble coffee product having intensified flavor. The flavor intensity of soluble coffee can be increased without deleteriously altering coffee flavor by heating the coffee at a temperature under conditions that do not cause carbohydrate pyrolysis characterized by generation of carbon dioxide.
