Description

加压饮料浓缩物及用于由其产生饮料的设备和方法
技术领域
本申请涉及用于运送加压浓缩饮料的装置和方法,以及用于由此类加压饮料浓缩物产生一种或多种饮料的设备和方法。更特别地,本发明涉及:a)用于运送浓缩饮料的装置(其包括与压缩气体一起包含在容器内的浓缩饮料)和制备此类设备的方法;以及b)用于通过开启其中储存有加压饮料浓缩物的容器并用液体稀释该浓缩物而由加压饮料浓缩物产生饮料的方法和设备。
发明背景
近年来,已经开发并销售了用于制备和分配饮料的大量的多种多样的装置。这些方法和装置中的一些允许使用者根据需求以单份的量制备饮料,例如咖啡或茶。这些装置在它们的复杂性、尺寸和支出方面大幅变化,并且可以被购买以在家或办公室中使用。
这些装置中的许多允许使用者制备热的、酿造的饮料,例如咖啡或茶。通常,这些装置通过将水加热至接近沸腾的温度、然后使该加热的水经过咖啡粉或茶叶而运行。在某些装置中,将咖啡粉或茶叶包含在专门为了用于该装置而设计的预先包装的容器中。在咖啡或茶发酵且从机器分配饮料之后,装置的使用者可以向饮料添加诸如牛奶、奶油、糖或蜂蜜的成分。
然而,这些现有的装置遭遇到许多缺陷。它们通常局限于上述的特定类型的热饮,例如咖啡或茶。而最近,饮料领域已经可见到极其普及的个性化饮料的增加,例如巧妙地混合大量的复杂的调味料和成分的微酿啤酒、浸渍有水果和香辛料的烈酒、和提供味道和营养的运动饮料、以及混合新成分与传统调味料的零卡路里软饮料。上述的预先包装的容器完全不能(例如)用于提供碳酸饮料(例如啤酒)并且不能满足消费者对这些不同的饮料的需求和期望。
因此,仍需要这样的产品,其允许消费者快速且容易地由预先包装的成分制备多种饮料,即,由本发明的方法和装置所满足的需求。例如,本发明的加压浓缩饮料可以允许消费者通过混合碳酸水或非碳酸水与浓缩加压饮料来迅速且容易地制备单份的诸多不同的精酿啤酒,产生具有不能由现有的产品提供的复杂且美味的口感的饮料。

发明详述
如上所述,本申请涉及用于运送加压浓缩饮料的装置和方法,以及用于由此类加压饮料浓缩物产生一种或多种饮料的装置和方法。本发明的实施方案包括用于运送加压饮料浓缩物的装置和制备此类装置的方法、用于由加压饮料浓缩物产生一种或多种饮料的方法、以及用于由加压饮料浓缩物产生一种或多种饮料的装置。
在本发明的优选的实施方案中,用于运送加压饮料浓缩物的装置包括三个元件:浓缩饮料、压缩气体和其中密封浓缩饮料和压缩气体的容器。本领域技术人员会认识到这种容器可以采用许多不同的形式:在本发明的多种实施方案中,所述容器可以是易理包、包装盒、胶囊、瓶子、圆筒和管柱或其等效物中的任一种。
类似地,本领域技术人员还会认识到其中密封浓缩饮料和压缩气体的容器可以由多种不同的材料中的一种或多种材料组成。容器可以由塑料(包括但不限于聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)或高密度聚乙烯)、金属(例如钢、不锈钢或铝)或其他材料(例如玻璃、陶瓷、复合材料或其他聚合物)制造。
在一些实施方案中,容器被设计成经受来自包含在容器内的压缩气体的高水平的压强。在一些实施方案中,容器能够经受比大气(即,环境)压高至少20巴的气压;在进一步优选的实施方案中,经受比大气压高至少30巴的气压;在甚至进一步优选的实施方案中,经受比大气压高至少40巴的气压;并且在还进一步的实施方案中,经受比大气压高至少50巴的气压。
本领域普通技术人员会熟悉用于包含上文所讨论的气压水平的气体的适当的容器设计。一个此类设计是用于产生生奶油(也称为“无比(whip-it)”奶油)的一氧化二氮“气弹(charger)”,即,由金属(即,钢或铝)加盖的可回收的钢圆筒,其包含高压的一氧化二氮(例如,卷曲封闭件第0080、0084、0085、0087、0088、30601和30602号)。在本发明的某些实施方案中,类似的容器可以用于包装浓缩饮料和压缩气体。
在本发明的某些实施方案中,所述容器是一次性的。例如,容器可以由一次性或可回收的塑料组成,并且可以在使用后被丢弃或回收利用。在其他实施方案中,容器是可再用的。在一些情况中,容器可以被清洁,并且用另外的饮料浓缩物和压缩气体再填充。在其他情况中,容器可以用于产生多于一份的饮料,并且可以再用,直至包含在其中的浓缩饮料的供给耗尽为止。
在本发明的多种实施方案中,成分容器可以具有意欲保存在容器内储存的浓缩饮料的性质。在一些实施方案中,容器可以包含氧清除剂或氧吸收剂,例如碳酸亚铁、抗坏血酸盐、碳酸氢钠和柑橘(citrus),其降低了在包装盒中氧的水平,防止至少一些氧化反应发生并且有助于保存在容器中的浓缩饮料。在本发明的一些实施方案中,容器可以是气体阻挡体、氧气阻挡体和/或光阻挡体。例如,容器的外部可以涂覆有无机氧化物(其有助于防止诸如氧气和二氧化碳的气体进入或离开容器)和挡光着色剂(其用于防止可以引发与浓缩饮料的化学反应的光(包括紫外光)进入容器)。
本领域技术人员会认识到多种饮料可以被浓缩、加压并包装在本发明的容器中。例如,本发明的浓缩饮料可以是啤酒(包括爱尔啤酒和拉格啤酒)、苹果酒、葡萄酒、基于麦芽的饮料、发酵饮料、基于苹果酒的饮料、烈酒、果汁、糖浆、碳酸或非碳酸软饮料、咖啡或茶。
出于本发明的目的,术语“啤酒”被定义为通过使用酵母在水中酿造和发酵淀粉源而产生的饮料。合适的淀粉源包括,但不限于,诸如大麦、小麦、玉米、稻米、高粱和黍米的谷物。其他淀粉源,例如木薯、甘蔗和马铃薯,也可以用作淀粉源来产生啤酒。类似地,多种酵母菌株可以用于发酵“啤酒”,包括但不限于,爱尔酵母菌株(“上面发酵”酵母)和拉格酵母菌株(“下面发酵”酵母)。
出于本发明的目的,术语“啤酒”包括但不限于在特定的国家法律、法规或标准下定义为“啤酒”的饮料的特定子集。例如,德国纯净法(Reinheitsgebot)规定具有除水、大麦芽和啤酒花之外的成分的饮料不能认为是“啤酒”,但出于本发明的目的,术语“啤酒”不具有此类成分限制。类似地,出于本发明的目的,术语“啤酒”不引进或暗示对饮料的酒精含量的限制。
在优选的实施方案中,浓缩饮料是由高浓度啤酒产生的浓缩啤酒。如本领域技术人员意识到的,酒精饮料的“浓度(gravity)”或“比重(specific gravity)”是指在发酵过程中麦芽汁(或未发酵葡萄汁,条件是饮料是葡萄酒)与水相比的相对密度。“原始浓度”是指在向麦芽汁添加(或“投掷”)酵母以开始发酵过程之前麦芽汁(在磨碎过程中从谷物提取的含糖的液体)的密度,其中酵母消耗麦芽汁中的糖,产生二氧化碳和酒精。
出于本发明的目的,“高浓度”啤酒是指初始浓度为至少1.070的啤酒。较高初始浓度表明由其发酵出啤酒的麦芽汁包含相对高浓度的糖和风味增强成分。较高浓度的糖提供给酵母更多的食物,从其可以产生额外的酒精,并且高浓度啤酒因此与具有较低初始浓度的啤酒相比趋于具有更高的酒精含量。如本领域技术人员会认识到的,不同的酵母菌株对酒精具有不同的忍耐性,并且某些菌株可以与其他菌株相比能够在较高的酒精水平下存活。在这些优选的实施方案中,高浓度啤酒具有至少8酒精体积比(ABV)、更优选至少12ABV、最优选至少16 ABV。
如本领域技术人员会认识到的,通过本发明的多种实施方案产生且用于本发明的多种实施方案的浓缩饮料可以通过多种不同的方法产生,包括纳米过滤、超过滤、微过滤、反渗透、蒸馏、分馏、碳过滤或框架过滤(frame filtration)。可以使用半渗透膜进行浓缩过程,所述半渗透膜由选自醋酸纤维素、聚砜、聚酰胺、聚丙烯、聚乳酸、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯、沸石、铝和陶瓷中的一种或多种材料组成。
用于产生本发明的浓缩饮料的方法可以包括一个或多个浓缩步骤。在某些实施方案中,例如,饮料可以经历第一浓缩步骤(例如,纳米过滤)以获得初始啤酒浓缩物(截留物)和渗透物。截留物由诸如碳水化合物、蛋白质以及二价和多价盐的固体组成,并且渗透物由水、酒精和挥发性风味组分构成。渗透物可以随后经历一个或多个进一步浓缩步骤(例如,蒸馏或逆渗透)以获得富含酒精和其他挥发性风味组分(例如芳香化合物)的渗透物。来自最初步骤的截留物可以随后与这种浓缩渗透物合并以产生浓缩啤酒,该浓缩啤酒根据本发明的方法和装置而包装。
在本发明的某些实施方案中,所得的浓缩饮料具有约30白利糖度至约80白利糖度的糖含量,并且在进一步的实施方案中,具有约50白利糖度至约70白利糖度的糖含量。在本发明的其他实施方案中,浓缩基础液体具有10白利糖度至30白利糖度的糖含量。在这些实施方案中,浓缩饮料可以具有约2ABV至约12ABV、约10ABV至约14ABV、或约50ABV至约70ABV的酒精含量。
除了浓缩饮料自身之外,容器还包含压缩气体。在本发明的优选的实施方案中,气体在压力下被注入容器,然后将容器密封。如本领域技术人员会认识到的,可以使用多种已知的方法密封容器,例如用于密封上述“无比”气体气弹的卷曲金属密封条。
多种类型的气体可以用于对本发明的浓缩饮料加压,包括但不限于二氧化碳、氮气、二氧化氮和一氧化二氮中的一种或多种。在这些实施方案中,压缩气体溶解在浓缩饮料中。在本发明的优选的实施方案中,压缩气体是二氧化碳,并且二氧化碳向浓缩饮料中的溶解产生碳酸饮料。
出于本发明的目的,“过碳酸”饮料被定义为与通常在碳酸饮料中发现的二氧化碳水平相比包含更大量的溶解的二氧化碳的饮料。由此,过碳酸饮料可以通过添加剂一种或多种液体(例如,仍添加水)而稀释,并产生具有可接受的碳酸化水平的饮料。过碳酸饮料的示例性实施方案包括被碳酸化至大于6克二氧化碳/升的水平的啤酒(当碳酸化时,具有2-6g/L二氧化碳的典型碳酸化水平),或被碳酸化至大于7克二氧化碳/升的水平的水或软饮料(当碳酸化时,具有4-7g/L的典型碳酸化水平)。在本发明的一些优选的实施方案中,浓缩饮料通过在容器中的压缩二氧化碳而过碳酸化。
本领域普通技术人员会认识到压缩气体可以以不同的压力水平注入浓缩饮料的容器中。在一些实施方案中,容器中的气体以比大气压高约20巴至比大气压高约40巴的水平压缩。在其他实施方案中,压缩气体在23℃具有比大气压高约5巴至比大气压高约15巴的气压。在一个示例性实施方案中,压缩气体在23℃具有比大气压高约9.4巴的气压。在另一示例性实施方案中,压缩气体在23℃具有比大气压高约34巴至比大气压高约50巴的气压。
本发明的实施方案并非仅包括浓缩饮料产品的制造和生产,也包括其用途。在本发明的优选的实施方案中,为了由浓缩饮料产品产生一份或多份的饮料,开启容器(通过对容器上的金属盖穿孔,或通过本领域技术人员公知的其他技术),并且向在该容器中密封的浓缩饮料添加一种或多种液体以产生所得的饮料。
在本发明的某些示例性实施方案中,向浓缩饮料添加水以产生适于消费的饮料。在一些实施方案中,所述水是碳酸水,并且在一些示例性实施方案中,所述水是过碳酸水。在其他示例性实施方案中,通过混合浓缩饮料与水而产生的饮料通过将额外的二氧化碳溶解(经由鼓泡或本领域技术人员已知的等效过程)在饮料中而被碳酸化或过碳酸化。
在一些优选的实施方案中,浓缩饮料是浓缩高浓度啤酒,向其添加水,水会稀释啤酒并产生饮料。在一些实施方案中,水的添加产生糖含量为约1白利糖度至约30白利糖度且酒精含量为约2ABV至约16ABV的啤酒。在示例性实施方案中,所得的啤酒具有4白利糖度至7白利糖度的糖含量和2ABV至8ABV的酒精含量。在另一示例性实施方案中,所得的啤酒具有约17白利糖度的糖含量和8ABV至12ABV的酒精含量。在多种实施方案中,所得的啤酒具有2-4ABV、4-6ABV、6-8ABV、8-10ABV或10-12ABV的酒精含量。
尽管上述实施方案讨论了用液体稀释浓缩饮料,但是本领域技术人员会容易地认识到可以向浓缩饮料添加除水以外的其他液体以产生饮料,包括啤酒(包括爱尔啤酒和拉格啤酒)、苹果酒、葡萄酒、基于麦芽的饮料、发酵饮料、基于苹果酒的饮料、烈酒、果汁、糖浆、碳酸或非碳酸软饮料、咖啡或茶。
在本发明的某些实施方案中,可以向浓缩饮料添加一种或多种风味成分以产生成品饮料。合适的风味成分的实例包括(但不限于)香辛风味剂、水果风味剂、啤酒花风味剂、麦芽风味剂、坚果风味剂、烟熏风味剂、其他风味剂(例如咖啡风味剂或巧克力风味剂)以及此类风味剂的混合物。
此外,可以添加其他浓缩成分或使其与浓缩饮料合并以产生成品饮料,包括但不限于其他浓缩饮料。这些浓缩成分可以是,例如,固体或液体成分,如啤酒花浓缩物、水果浓缩物、甜味剂、苦味添加剂、浓缩香辛料、发泡促进剂、浓缩的基于麦芽的液体、浓缩发酵液体、浓缩啤酒、着色剂、风味添加剂及其混合物。在一些情况中,浓缩成分(例如浓缩啤酒)可以是含酒精的浓缩成分。
在本发明的一些实施方案中,测量包装在容器中的浓缩饮料的量,以使得可以由容器中的浓缩饮料精确制备单份的饮料。在本发明的其他实施方案中,以适于产生多份饮料的量包装浓缩饮料。在这些实施方案中的一些实施方案中,在单一混合步骤中同时产生多份饮料。在其他实施方案中,可以将浓缩饮料重复地与液体混合以制备连续的单份饮料。
在本发明的多种实施方案中,所产生的饮料的份大小可以为6盎司、8盎司、10盎司、12盎司、14盎司、16盎司、18盎司、20盎司、22盎司或24盎司。在本发明的某些进一步的实施方案中,饮料的份大小的一半包含浓缩饮料,并且饮料的份大小的另一半包含用于稀释浓缩饮料的液体。在本发明的其他进一步的实施方案中,饮料的份大小的三分之一包含浓缩饮料,并且饮料的份大小的三分之二包含用于稀释浓缩饮料的液体。
在本发明的一些实施方案中,浓缩饮料被去离子化以从浓缩饮料去除阴离子或阳离子。这种去离子化步骤可以在包装之前(或之后)进行,和/或在用一种或多种液体稀释浓缩饮料之前或之后进行。
在本发明的示例性实施方案中,提供了用于由加压饮料浓缩物制备饮料的设备。所述设备包括用于引入其中包装有加压饮料浓缩物的容器的接纳器、用于引入液体(以及等效液体)的至少一个液体引入口、其中将加压饮料浓缩物与水(或其他液体)混合以产生饮料的至少一个混合元件、以及从其分配所得的饮料的出口。
在上述设备的示例性实施方案中,混合元件是没有移动部件的静态混合器,其利用湍流来混合液体并且产生饮料。静态混合器可以由多种材料组成,包括不锈钢、聚丙烯、特氟龙、PDVF、PVC、CPVC和聚缩醛,并且可以是板型静态混合器或螺旋型静态混合器。在本发明的一些实施方案中,混合元件是一次性塑料混合器室,其出于清洁/卫生原因可以被丢弃并替换。
在本发明的某些实施方案中,静态混合器是管路混合器。在本发明的一些实施方案中,这种混合元件是文丘里管(收缩、窄直径截面的管道或管线,其使通过该截面的液体速度增加,但压力降低,即,称为“文丘里效应”的现象)。当液体流经文丘里管时,文丘里效应产生引发湍流的真空,使液体和其他成分发生混合。
在本发明的某些实施方案中,所述设备还包括第二混合元件,饮料在从该设备被分配之前传送进入该第二混合元件。在本发明的一些实施方案中,这种第二混合元件是碳酸化室,其中将压缩气体溶解在饮料中以使饮料碳酸化或过碳酸化。在其他实施方案中,这种室是与用于与饮料混合的碳酸水(或另一种碳酸化或过碳酸化液体)的第二液体引入口连接的第二静态混合室。与上述第一混合室相同,这种第二混合室可以是一次性塑料组件。
在用于制备饮料的这种设备的某些实施方案中,该设备包括用于引入其他成分的另外的接纳器。这些成分可以是固体或液体成分,包括用于与第一浓缩饮料混合的另外的浓缩饮料。下文讨论本领域技术人员已知的多种类型的合适的风味成分和浓缩成分。
