Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Instant groups have traditionally been very widely used as dried plant extracts, optionally flavoring agents and/or fragrances. Instant groups were prepared by mixing the components other than the carrier separately or by spray drying -AI, mixing with the carrier, and optionally sizing.

Particularly unstable plant extracts are sometimes also produced by freeze-drying; as freeze-drying is relatively expensive, spray-dried products are sometimes used instead, which are then further enriched with flavorants and fragrances. I could do that. Instant groups based on minato or glucose usually contain 1 to 6 t.
In particular, it contained two plant extracts. Most of the instant groups serve as carriers, and the carriers account for 94 to 99 groups.

Instant teas based on sucrose and/or glucose have the disadvantage that, especially in infants and children, dental caries has been observed due to the effects of the sugars consumed when the intake increases. Products now include malt dextrin as a carrier, but research has shown that malt dextrin has the same cariogenic properties as decoction sugar and glucose.

The object of the present invention is, first of all, to be free from the drawbacks of caries formation;
Therefore, it is important to develop an instant group that can be given to infants and young children without worry.

The preservability, dosing and ease of handling of the existing instant groups must be preserved in the form of extracts and powders of O sources, including leaves, roots, bark, flowers and fruits. . Thus, the concept of tea literally refers to a range of plant extracts and plant powders that are classified into four groups, tea drinks, fruit teas and fruit tea drinks, on the basis of their origin and other factors. There is. The present invention
Concerning all four different groups of tea under the Food Products Act.

Thus, the instant group includes instant tea, instant tea beverages, instant fruit tea, and instant fruit tea in a broad sense.

The term ``instant'' refers to the fact that the tea is in the form of powder, granules, or paste, and when mixed with a liquid, disperses or steeps quickly, making the drink quick and easy. The instant base is not a ready-to-drink tea with liquid, but a pre-stage in the form of powder, granules or paste.The instant tea, instant tea beverage and instant fruit-based and The instant fruit tea beverage also contains carrier-free pure plant extracts, plant powders,
Does not contain fruit extracts and fruit powders, as these generally cannot be instantiated, or only temporarily, and are usually very hygroscopic, highly concentrated, and often have a high specific gravity. This is because it is extremely difficult to measure and handle. Instantized plant extracts without carriers are thus highly hygroscopic and, as soon as they come into contact with moisture, form a hard mass that can no longer be dosed and has a high specific gravity that dissolves only slowly in water. Instant plant extracts without carriers also have the disadvantage that their aroma and various active substance components are significantly lost during instantization. Subsequent addition of liquid flavoring agents and/or fragrances is practically impossible when instantiating without a carrier.

Now instant teas, instant tea beverages and instant fruit-based and instant fruit tea beverages can be prepared using plant extracts and/or plant powders and/or fruit extracts and/or when using proteins dispersed and/or dissolved in liquids as carriers. It has also been found that it can be made into powders, granules or pastes containing fruit powder and optionally flavoring agents and/or fragrances. Instant tea of the present invention,
Instant tea beverages and instant fruit-based and instant fruit tea beverages are characterized in that the carrier is a protein that is dispersed and/or dissolved in the liquid.

Furthermore, it has been found that cacao powder or powdered preferred acid beverages and/or powdered, granular, and pasty twin-stand beverages containing vitamins can also be produced using the principle of B.

The subject of the present application is thus also an instant beverage and a process for its production.

In particular, water is used as an adduct for dispersing and/or dissolving proteins. In principle, milk, fruit juice and ethanol-water mixtures can also be used.

According to the invention, water-soluble proteins are particularly suitable.

In particular, short-chain proteins obtained from connective tissue, which are clearly soluble in water, have been found to be suitable.

However, water-soluble proteins from wheat, corn or soybeans can also be used.

Unlike the instant base based on sucrose, which generally contains 1-6% of plant extract, mainly 2%, the instant tea, instant tea beverage and instant fruit-based and instant fruit tea beverage of the present invention are mainly・10 to 50
Plant extracts and/or plant powders and/or fruit extracts and/or fruit powders by weight and therefore mainly contain only 50-90% by weight of protein as a carrier.

Surprisingly, according to the invention, when using proteins as carriers, large amounts of cocoa powder, extracts and/or plant powders and/or fruit extracts and/or fruit powders can be made instant and also preserved. It is possible to create products that are comparable to, or better than, traditional instant beverages and instant bases based on axillary sugar and/or glucose in terms of performance, dosing possibilities, and ease of handling. This effect is also related in part to the fact that the specific gravity of the products of the invention is significantly lower than those using sucrose and/or dextrose as carriers. Conventional instant groups generally have a specific gravity of 0.4 to 0.81//
ml, whereas the specific gravity of the product of the present invention is 0.1~
0.5, especially 0.21/ml.

The products of the invention are significantly less hygroscopic than carrier-free instant plant extracts. Therefore, the product of the present invention maintains its low specific gravity even after a long period of time, regardless of humidity. Therefore, the product of the present invention is easy to dispense and handle even when stored for a long time, is simple, easy to disperse, and easy to melt.

If the instant beverage, instant tea, instant tea beverage, instant fruit-based or instant fruit tea beverage is cloudy, you can also use fine pine leaf powder or fruit powder instead of the plant extract or fruit extract. Available. If the cloudiness of drinking tea is not a problem, proteins that are easily dispersed in liquids can also be used. However, if a clear potable tea is desired, plant or fruit extracts and whole soluble proteins must be used. Clear 1L soluble instant beverages, instant teas, instant tea preparations, instant fruit drinks and instant fruit tea preparations have been found to be particularly suitable with short chain proteins from connective tissues that are clearly soluble in water. Furthermore, for example) milk proteins that are free of fat and carbohydrates can also be used. For certain purposes, and if food regulations are not in the way, gelatin derivatives, which can be quickly referred to as proteins but are still thick and thin, can also be used. Milk powder actually contains about 173 dispersible and/or soluble proteins. Since milk powder contains a lot of fat and hydrocarbons, it cannot be used as a carrier for instant beverages, instant tea, instant tea soup, instant fruit tea and instant fruit tea beverages of the present invention. On the contrary, bath proteins from wheat, maize or soybeans can be used.

Instant beverage and instant tea of the present invention.

Instant tea drinks, instant fruit teas and instant fruit tea drinks may, however, optionally also contain flavorants and aromatics. Flavorants and sugar substitutes (in particular, sugar substitutes such as rubit and mannitol) are mentioned.

As aromatics, in principle all natural and artificial aromas added to ready-to-drink drinks, tea, tea drinks, fruit teas and fruit tea drinks come into question. Fragrances are often lost only after instantization, as they may be lost in whole or in part during instantization due to their volatility.
You will be asked again.

Instant beverage and instant tea of the present invention.

The method for producing instant tea drinks, instant fruit teas and instant fruit tea beverages thus comprises: a) cocoa powder or powdered preferred acidic beverages and/or vitamins, other substance extracts and/or plant powders and/or fruit extracts; and/or fruit powders and optionally flavoring agents and/or aromatics and dispersible and/or soluble proteins in a dry state; or b) cocoa powder or powdered recreational acidic beverages. and/or vitamins, plant extracts and/or plant powders and/or fruit extracts and/or fruit powders are dispersed and/or dissolved, mixed and - dried together with the protein;
Cocoa powder, or powdered palatability acid, in a carrier characterized in that the product thus obtained is optionally granulated, compressed and/or agglomerated, and optionally mixed with flavorants and/or aromatics. Instant beverages, instant teas containing beverages and/or vitamins, plant extracts and/or fruit powders and optionally flavoring agents and/or aromatics, in powdered or granulated form.

Instant tea beverages and instant fruit teas.

A method for producing an instant fruit tea beverage.

In principle, in cases 2 and 3, it is possible to avoid complete drying and create a quickly dispersible and/or soluble paste. Such pastes can typically be packed into tubes. Such pastes are also well preserved, easily dispensed, easy to handle and can be referred to as instant beverages, instant teas, instant tea beverages, instant fruit teas, instant fruit tea beverages.

What all of the products according to the invention have in common is that they can be produced virtually without the addition of cariogenic hydrocarbons and have little nutritional value compared to conventional instant drinks and instant teas. Unlike ready-to-eat foods, which should contain hydrocarbons, fats, proteins and minerals in the best possible proportions, the nutritional value of the products of the invention is only 1. In this way, additional nutrients are not introduced into the body involuntarily and without control. Particularly when used on infants and young children, it avoids things that may aid the formation of dental caries. An excellent area of use for the products of the invention is in the diet of infants and young children. However, in principle the instant beverage according to the invention.

Instant tea, instant tea beverages, instant fruit tea and instant fruit tea beverages are used in the production of all kinds of edible products.

If a product that is dispersible and/or soluble in aqueous alcohol is a problem, then
Also used in simple preparations.

Clear soluble preparations are preferred for infant and toddler food products. It has been found that short-chain proteins, such as those obtained from animal connective tissue, are particularly suitable as carriers. These proteins are produced, for example, by industrially enzymatically partially decomposing fresh connective tissue, so their molecular weight is 2.
Short chain proteins ranging from ,000 to 10,000 can be converted. The product is tasteless, heat resistant up to 150°C, sterilizable under pasteurization conditions, and has acceptable levels for dietary foods. At the limit, it can be produced with few bacteria. When stored dry, it has a long shelf life and is at least 90% water soluble. Furthermore, although it is not hygroscopic, it has a tendency to degenerate, so it is difficult to harden. Such short-chain proteins have been described, for example, by B, P, F (Biologisch Physikschührer Schunksgesellschaft mbH, Frankfurt) under the name "K K Protein 1F" and also by Schwaben-Gemünd. Mila (4D+, produced by bru○) In the present invention, the cocoa powder is optionally followed by enoic acid,
Tartaric acid and malic acid are used. As the vitamin, ascorbic acid, 2.3 or all vitamins of the vitamin B complex, and various other vitamin mixtures can be used.

In particular, when vitamins are spray-dried with an aqueous protein solution,
Increased stability.

Similar observations have been made with taste foods and aromatics, which according to the invention are prevented from undesired degradation and destruction after drying of the proteins.

As soluble vegetable oil extracts and fruit extracts it is possible in principle to use all extracts which, according to the state of the art, have already been processed into instant tea. These extracts are mostly spray-dried aqueous extracts. Dry alcoholic extracts can also be incorporated or mixed, as long as sufficient solubility is ensured.

This extract is mixed with the protein or dispersed and dried. However, it is preferable to mix it with the carrier in a dry state. This mixture is subsequently granulated or compressed;
Alternatively, the product can be made into chunks, which results in a product that is particularly easy to handle for the user.

If desired, it is also possible to introduce flavorants and/or fragrances during the operation. Particularly aroma-stable products are obtained when the fragrance is incorporated into the final product in the form of microcapsules. In addition to the usual granulation, compaction and agglomeration methods, this final product can also be processed into flakes by the so-called Bilsbury method.

In either case, it is possible to obtain a product that is stable and extremely easy to handle, has a low specific gravity, and is easy to dispense, suitable for the conditions of actual use.
