TH98178A - Soluble foaming drink powder - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (24/03/59) The invention relates to a mixture comprising a mixture of a soluble foaming agent and a soluble beverage or food ingredient capable of delayed dissolution. The soluble foaming agent ingredient, upon the addition of a liquid, induces the formation of, or will form, foam. This is achieved by a mixture comprising a matrix and a gas under pressure. The soluble beverage or food ingredient, which may be in the form of a powder, is prepared in such a way that the solubility is delayed. Upon the addition of the foaming agent liquid, the beverage or food is separated before being dissolved, resulting in a beautiful and delicate physical separation into two layers, which can be best seen if the color of the foaming agent and the powder of the beverage or food is different. More specifically, the invention relates to a soluble cappuccino powder, which, upon reconstitution, results in a beverage with a high amount of white foam. The soluble cappuccino powder of the present invention produces a white foam comparable in color and height and texture to that of a real cappuccino foam made. By passing steam through fresh milk and lathering the foam on top of the freshly extracted espresso while reconstituting. Amendment to the Invention Summary 24/03/2016 The invention relates to a mixture comprising a mixture of a soluble foaming agent and a soluble beverage or food ingredient capable of delayed dissolution. The soluble foaming agent ingredient induces, upon the addition of liquid, the formation of, or is to be formed, foam, which is achieved by a mixture comprising a matrix and a gas under pressure. The soluble beverage or food ingredient, which may be in the form of a powder, is prepared in such a way that the dissolution is delayed upon the addition of the foaming agent liquid and the beverage or food is separated prior to dissolution, resulting in a beautiful and delicate physical separation into two layers, which are best seen if the color of the foaming agent and the powder of the beverage or food differ. More specifically, the invention relates to a soluble cappuccino powder, which upon reconstitution results in a beverage with a high amount of white foam. The soluble cappuccino powder of the present invention It will give a white foam comparable in color and height and texture to the foam of a real cappuccino made by passing steam through fresh milk and scooping the foam on top of freshly extracted espresso while reconstituting. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The invention relates to a mixture comprising a mixture of a soluble foaming agent ingredient and a soluble beverage or food ingredient capable of slow dissolution. The soluble foaming agent ingredient, upon the addition of a liquid, induces the formation of, or will form, foam. This is achieved by a mixture comprising a matrix and a gas under pressure. The soluble beverage or food ingredient, which may be in the form of a powder, is prepared in such a way that the dissolution is slowed down upon the addition of the foaming agent liquid and the beverage or food is separated prior to dissolution, resulting in a beautiful and delicate physical separation into two layers, which can be best seen if the color of the foaming agent and the powder of the beverage or food differs. More specifically, the invention relates to a soluble cappuccino powder which, upon reconstitution, results in a beverage with a high amount of white foam. The soluble cappuccino powder of the present invention will produce a white foam comparable in color and height and texture to the actual cappuccino foam made by passing steam through fresh milk and scooping the foam over the freshly extracted espresso while reconstituting it.

Claims (All) Which Do Not Appear on the Advertisement Page: Edited 24/03/2016 1. A mixture comprising the following ingredients: a) a soluble foaming ingredient containing a gas under pressure and which releases the gas upon reconstitution, and b) a beverage or food powder or ingredient having a delayed solubility, wherein the beverage or food powder has a solubility that is delayed so that foam is formed by the foaming ingredient before the beverage or food powder is dissolved when the mixture is reconstituted with a liquid to form the beverage or food, and wherein the foaming ingredient releases any gas present upon the addition of a liquid in an amount of at least about 1 mL of a gaseous environment per gram of the soluble foaming ingredient, and wherein the beverage or food powder or ingredient having a delayed solubility is coffee powder. 2. The mixture of claim 1, wherein the powder containing coffee having a solubility that The delayed time is obtained by coating the coffee powder with coffee solids, starch-like carbohydrates, maltodextrin, sugar, sucrose, lactose, gums, CMCs, proteins, fats, and/or salts. 3. A mixture comprising the following ingredients: a) a soluble foaming ingredient that contains gas under pressure and that releases gas upon reconstitution, and b) a powder or food mixture having a delayed solubility, wherein the powder or food has a solubility that is delayed so that foam is formed by the foaming ingredient before the powder or food is dissolved when the mixture is reconstituted with a liquid to form the beverage or food, and wherein the foaming ingredient releases any gas present upon addition of liquid in an amount of at least approximately 1 mL of a gaseous environment per gram of soluble foaming ingredient, and wherein the powder or food mixture having a delayed solubility is or contains cocoa powder, fruit powder, or other colored food powder. --------------------------------------------------- 1. A mixture comprising the following ingredients: a) a foaming ingredient which releases gas upon reconstitution, and b) a powder or food ingredient having a delayed dissolution. 2. The mixture of claim 1, wherein the foaming ingredient contains a gas under pressure. 3. The mixture of claim 1, wherein the foaming ingredient forms a gas upon reaction of a specific chemical ingredient. 4. The mixture of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the foaming ingredient releases the gas present upon addition of at least 1 mL of a gaseous environment per gram of the foaming ingredient dissolved. 5.
