  • Publication number: 20240057632
    Abstract: A system and a method of making a soluble coffee product is used to make a serving of fresh coffee on the go that is healthy and matches the user's taste. The overall process starts by mixing the amount of soluble coffee, the first amount of liquid sweetener, and the amount of bee pollen into a quantity of liquid mixture. The quantity of liquid mixture is partitioned into liquid-mixture portions by filling each molding receptacle with a corresponding liquid-mixture portion from the liquid-mixture portions. Each liquid-mixture portion is inserted with a corresponding stick from the lollipop sticks. The liquid-mixture portions are frozen into solid-mixture portions. The solid-mixture portions are removed from the molding receptacles. A liquid-sweetener coating is applied to each solid-mixture portion by dipping each solid-mixture portion into the second amount of liquid sweetener. Finally, the liquid-sweetener coating is frozen into a solid-sweetener coating for each solid-mixture portion.

    Abstract: A novel sodium butyrate particle and a preparation method therefor. The sodium butyrate particle has an onion-like layered structure, the layered structure is compact and cannot be peeled off, and the sodium butyrate particle has a spheroid-like appearance. The sodium butyrate particle also has a grape-bunch-like structure integrally formed by agglomeration, aggregation and bonding of small and medium-sized particles. Sodium butyrate particles can be effectively and uniformly dispersed in feed, and are not easy to settle during storage and transportation, so that the service efficiency is effectively improved.
