Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a lid for closing a beverage cup, that allows to enhance the organoleptic experience of a consumer.
  • Cup lids are widely known and used in the consumption of edible liquid or semi-liquid products. They provide a practical and secure way to close a cup, ensuring that no product is spilled when moving the cup, especially for nomadic consumption.
  • thermoformed plastic such as polystyrene
  • cup lids also comprise a drinking spout, which is integrally formed with the lid body, and allows a consumer to insert a drinking lid, or to sip the contents of the cup directly from said spout.
  • the present invention provides a solution to the above mentioned drawbacks of the existing solutions with a lid according to independent claim 1.
  • the quantity of air that is sipped together with the liquid contacts at least the region of the lid that is adjacent to the spout placed in the mouth of the consumer. It was found that the velocity of this air is sufficient to withdraw molecules that are present at the surface of the lid.
  • the volatile aromatic product is microencapsulated in the coating.
  • Microencapsulation of scents, flavours and other similar volatile products is known as such and will not be described in more details therein.
  • Air velocity is sufficient to open the microcapsules and withdraw the volatile aromatic product contained therein, which circulates into the air, towards the oral system of the consumer.
  • aromas or scents can be stored in, and released from the surface of the lid by so-called "controlled release".
  • Controlled release may be defined as a method by which one or more active agents or ingredients are made available at a desired site and time and at a specific rate.
  • Flavours, aromas, or scents can be entrapped in a jellified matrix coating; in this case, their release is significantly affected by the texture of the gel that is used. For instance, gelatin gel show large increases in flavour release in the presence of saliva, while starch and pectin gels show a reduction in flavour release under these conditions.
  • a gelatin gel matrix is therefore preferred, especially if the jellified matrix coating is located in a portion of the lid which is adjacent the sipping/dispensing opening (drinking spout) of said lid, hence at a location where the saliva of the consumer can activate the release of the scents, flavours or aromas during sipping or drinking.
  • flavour by melting Yet another alternative to store in, and release volatile aromas, scents or flavours products from the lid, is so-called "release of flavour by melting".
  • This mechanism of release involves storing the flavours, scents or aromas within a capsule which is coated or similarly attached to the surface of the lid. Melting of said capsule wall at a predetermined temperature releases the volatile active material.
  • lipids, modified lipids or waxes There are numerous materials that can be melted and that are approved for food use.
  • the coated flavoured particles are stored at temperatures well below the melting point of the coating, then heated above this temperature in order to be released.
  • the melting point of the capsule can be chosen appropriately such that for instance, they do not melt at ambient temperature, but they melt at a temperature which corresponds to that of a hot beverage (55°C to 85°C). In another alternative, the melting point corresponds to the average temperature of human body, close to the mouth. In this case, the capsule melts when the consumer puts the drinking spout of the lid in the mouth.
  • Encapsulation techniques especially for flavoured control release, are as follows:
  • the invention therefore provides an excellent means to allow a consumer to experience the tasting and drinking of a flavoured product, without the need to add flavours, or sugar in the edible product itself.
  • the invention even allows a consumer to experience the intake of a flavoured drink, with low calorie products, for instance water.
  • the volatile aromatic product is a natural or artificial flavour or aroma, or an essential oil, selected within the list comprising : aroma, extract or essential oil of fruits, flowers, plants, spices, green or roasted coffee, chocolate, candies, or a mixture thereof.
  • the cup lid according to the present invention is advantageously manufactured from a sustainable material selected within the list comprising : cellulosic fibers, paper (white or Kraft), cardboard, bamboo fibers, apple fibers, sugarcane fibers, bagasse, avocado fibers, rice or wheat fibers, pectin, a mineral powder (such as stone powder or sand), biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalcanoate (PHA), polybutyrate adipate terepthalate (PBAT), le polysuccinate butylene (PBS), or recycled polyolefin or polyesters or a mixture thereof.
  • a sustainable material selected within the list comprising : cellulosic fibers, paper (white or Kraft), cardboard, bamboo fibers, apple fibers, sugarcane fibers, bagasse, avocado fibers, rice or wheat fibers, pectin, a mineral powder (such as stone powder or sand), biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalcanoate
  • thermoforming a flat blank of material into the desired shape of a lid Preferably it is manufactured by thermoforming a flat blank of material into the desired shape of a lid. Alternatively, it can be made from moulded or pressed pulp.
  • the internal surface of the cup lid can be advantageously coated with a thin hydrophobic coating.
  • a hydrophobic compound can be integrated into the mass of the material constitutive of the lid. This ensures that the liquid contacting the internal surface of the lid does not impact negatively its mechanical properties, especially if said liquid is hot (the lid of the invention can be used for closing a cup containing hot or cold products).
  • the present invention is further directed to a closed package for packing and dispensing a food or beverage liquid or semi-liquid product, said package comprising a cup closed by a lid as described above.
  • a lid 1 for closing the upper opening of a cup 2.
  • the cup 2 is adapted for containing a hot liquid beverage product.
  • the lid 1 comprises a substantially flat body 3 and a peripheral rim 4 extending downwardly for attaching said lid to the upper edge 5 of the cup.
  • the lid 1 further comprises a drinking spout 6.
  • the lid 1 comprises a coating 7 comprising at least one volatile aromatic product.
  • the coating 7 is adapted to release said volatile aromatic product with the air that is mixed to said liquid or semi-liquid edible product, at the time the latter is sipped through said drinking spout 6 and release said aromatic product by contact with steam generated by the hot product.
  • the coating 7 can be placed on the external surface of the lid body 3, as illustrated in figure 1 .
  • the coating is deposited onto the internal surface of the lid, as shown in figure 3 . It does not necessarily cover the entire surface, but only a portion of said surface. In the embodiments shown in figure 1 and in figure 3 , the coating 7 covers a small portion (illustrated with hashed lines) of the surface of the lid, that is adjacent to the drinking spout 6.
  • the lid (1) is manufactured from a mixture comprising 95% cellulosic fibers, about 1% of a mineral powder (such as stone powder or sand), and 4% of a biodegradable polymer such as polylactic acid (PLA), or polyhydroxyalcanoate (PHA) to liaise the fibers and ensure structural integrity of the material.
  • a mineral powder such as stone powder or sand
  • a biodegradable polymer such as polylactic acid (PLA), or polyhydroxyalcanoate (PHA) to liaise the fibers and ensure structural integrity of the material.
  • PVA polylactic acid
  • PHA polyhydroxyalcanoate
  • hot liquid contained in the cup is not necessarily aromatized itself, and can be hot water only, which generates steam for releasing aromas contained in the coating as described above.
  • This provides the impression to the consumer that the liquid itself contains flavours, hence providing a nice sensory experience, while providing excellent nutritional and hydration value.
