  • Patent number: 11632968
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for processing biomaterials in the absence of atmospheric oxygen and products resulting from such processes. Such processing techniques may dramatically increase the shelf-life expectancies of roasted and milled biomaterial products when the roasted and milled biomaterial products are not exposed to oxygen during processing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2023

  • Patent number: 11272720
    Abstract: A process for preserving the organoleptic characteristics of coffee-based products and extending their shelf lives, having the steps of roasting the green coffee beans and placing it in a chamber with an inert gas atmosphere, first milling of the roasted coffee beans under inert gas conditions to a size between seventy five (75) and five hundred (500), second milling the previously milled roasted coffee beans under refrigerated conditions to ensure that the size of the bean particles fall between ten (10) and thirty (30) microns and jet milling the first and second milled coffee beans using a closed, or semi-closed, loop of inert gas jet mill to bring the bean particles' size between one tenth (0.1) and less than ten (10) microns resulting in an ultrafine powder. Micro-encapsulating or agglomerating the ultrafine powder with food ingredients, resulting in coated roasted whole coffee granules.
