Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep mellow taste and fragrance of coffee by using a carbon dioxide gas absorbent consisting of lithium hydroxide or a mixture of lithium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide at a specific ratio and sealing roasted coffee beans together with the absorbent. CONSTITUTION:A carbon dioxide gas absorbent is produced by sealing lithium hydroxide or preferably a mixture of calcium hydroxide and more than equimolar amount of lithium hydroxide in a transmissible bag. Roasted coffee beans are sealed together with the absorbent in a gas-tight vessel and stored.

To make coffee for drinking, coffee beans are roasted, ground to an appropriate particle size, extracted with boiling water, and sweeteners, cream, etc. are added according to taste. When coffee beans are roasted, immediately ground, extracted, and consumed, they do not lose their flavor or aroma, but commercially, they are usually After coffee beans are roasted, they are often stored as whole beans.

However, when roasted coffee beans are stored as they are, according to the present inventors, gas mainly consisting of carbon dioxide gas is released, and this gas generation occurs over a period of time, as shown in an example in Figure 1. It lasts for nearly two months, and the amount is approximately 3 I per kg of coffee beans! , even. In particular, in our country, we prefer chilled coffee in the summer, and strongly roasted coffee beans are suitable for this purpose.
Significant gas generation.

Conventionally, when storing such roasted coffee beans, if gas accumulates inside the bag, the gas is removed from the bag. Therefore, as a result, roasted coffee beans are stored in carbon dioxide gas. However, under such storage conditions, roasted coffee beans undergo deterioration and lipids float on the surface, impairing their original rich taste. will also be lost.

The method of preserving roasted coffee beans according to the present invention for reducing the amount of roasted coffee beans is carried out using a carbon dioxide absorbent formed by enclosing lithium hydroxide or a mixture of lithium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide in a breathable bag. It is characterized by hermetically sealing roasted coffee beans in an airtight container.

Generally, alkali metal hydroxides are treated by neutralization reaction.
It is already known that it is useful as a carbon dioxide absorbent because it fixes carbon dioxide. However, when storing roasted coffee beans, the carbon dioxide absorbent is filled into a breathable bag and stored together with the roasted coffee beans in an airtight container to absorb carbon dioxide gas. When the air-permeable bag is made sticky, there is a risk that the roasted coffee beans may also deteriorate.

From this point of view, among alkali metal hydroxides,
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide produce stickiness on the surface when they absorb carbon dioxide gas, so they are not suitable for use as carbon dioxide absorbents for preserving roasted coffee beans. Furthermore, calcium hydroxide has a low carbon dioxide absorption capacity.

Calcium hydroxide alone has a low carbon dioxide absorption capacity, but by mixing it with lithium hydroxide in an equal mole or more, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity per weight of lithium hydroxide increases compared to that of lithium hydroxide alone. Moreover, like lithium hydroxide alone, it does not cause any stickiness on the surface after absorbing carbon dioxide gas, so it can be used as a carbon dioxide absorbent in the preservation of roasted coffee beans according to the present invention. It can be used effectively.
