Abstract: Soluble coffee products having a chunkier physical appearance more like that of granular roast and ground coffee products, lower apparent (bulk) densities compared to prior agglomerated spray dried instant coffee products and better solubility than prior freeze dried instant coffee products when added directly to hot water. These soluble coffee products are made by forming a relatively thin glassy coffee strip or sheet from a thermoplastic melt of soluble coffee solids, water, coffee aroma and flavor volatiles and optionally solubility enhancing components and then gradually applying vacuum conditions to this glassy strip or sheet over several cycles while heated to a pliable and deformable state such that the strip/sheet expands in a controlled manner from about 2 to about 10 times its initial thickness to provide a porous open-celled coffee matrix where the pores have a median pore size typically in the range of from about 3 to about 25 microns.

Other antioxidants can be added.

Abstract: Polyol polyesters can be made by a transesterification reaction of a polyol with a lower alkyl fatty acid ester. A by product of that reaction are the alcohols from the lower alkyl esters. These are usually removed from the transesterification reaction by inert gas stripping. The process herein links the transesterification reaction with a lower alkyl ester formation reaction. The transesterification reaction acts as a the source of the lower alkyl alcohols for the formation of the lower alkyl esters used in the polyol fatty acid polyester synthesis. A preferred method for both reactions uses a reactive absorption column.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for reducing the in-mould time required for preparing chocolate confectionery products which contain low calorie cocoa butter substitutes. In the first step of the process of the present invention, an untempered chocolate confectionery composition is formed. The chocolate confectionery composition contains a reduced calorie fat which contains certain reduced calorie triglycerides. The untempered chocolate confectionery composition is heated to a temperature ranging from about 37.8.degree. C. (100.degree. F.) to about 65.5.degree. C. (150.degree. F.) to form a melt. Next, the melt is adjusted to a temperature ranging from about 29.4.degree. C. (85.degree. F.) to about 48.9.degree. C. (120.degree. F.). Bar moulds are then filled with the untempered chocolate confectionery composition and any air bubbles present in the chocolate confectionery composition are removed.

Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.
