Description
Emulsifier system containing a mixture of coffee extracts and coffee particles
Technical Field
The present invention relates to emulsifier systems which may be used in the manufacture of frozen dessert and which comprise at least one coffee bean extract and coffee particles. It also relates to a frozen confectionery product comprising this emulsifier system. The invention, in another aspect, concerns a method for manufacturing such frozen confectionery products. The invention finally relates to particular green and roasted coffee particles. Background of the invention
In the manufacture of frozen confectioneries, emulsifiers and stabilisers play an essential role. While stabilisers are generally used for adding viscosity, improving handling properties and also for preventing ice crystal growth, emulsifiers aid in developing the appropriate fat structure and air distribution necessary for the smooth eating and good meltdown characteristics desired in such products .
These ingredients are indispensable to the manufacture of commercially acceptable products. Efficient stabiliser and emulsifier systems already exist, but these are often based on chemically modified ingredients that do not answer the growing demand from the consumer for products which are free from artificial additives or so-called "E numbers". An example which predominate most ice cream
formulations is that of mono- and di-glycerides , derived from the partial hydrolysis of fats or oils of animal or vegetable origin. There is thus a need for replacing synthetic emulsifiers by natural systems having the required tensioactive properties while not compromising on the product quality.
Natural ingredients with emulsifying properties are known, but they are usually not as efficient as synthetic emulsifiers and/or present other drawbacks.
In particular, egg yolk has been known for a long time for its emulsifying properties. EP 2185003 describes for instance a stabiliser system for frozen confectioneries comprising egg yolk as natural emulsifier associated with starch and citrus fibers. However, the use of egg yolk might be limited in some cases due to its allergen character .
Quillaia is also known for its emulsifying properties. However, this plant contains saponins which are toxic for humans at certain concentrations. Proteins have emulsifying properties but in frozen confections, it is needed to replace proteins at oil/water interface to promote partial coalescence during freezing. Therefore, native proteins alone in a recipe cannot deliver long term ice cream stability.
Several attempts for providing products which are free from artificial emulsifiers can be found in patent
publications. EP 1400176 describes for example frozen aerated products which have no additional stabilisers or emulsifiers and have an overrun of 10-250%, a pH, when melted, of 3.5 to 5.2, and which comprise 0-20% fat, 0.25 to 20% milk solids not fat, 0.05 to 1.5% soluble dietary fibre and 0.1 to 5% insoluble dietary fibres coming from fruit and vegetable purees.
GB 2359727 also describes an emulsifier composition which can be used in ice creams and which comprises an emulsifier which encapsulates a disintegration improver, such as a fibre or a hydrocolloid .
Alternative and new solutions to answer this important demand for natural emulsifier systems are still needed. It is therefore an object of the invention to answer this need and in particular to provide an emulsifier for frozen confectioneries comprising natural ingredients.
Summary of the invention
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides en emulsifier system for use in a frozen confectionery product comprising at least one coffee bean extract combined with coffee particles with a particle size comprised between 0.1 and 500 microns, preferably between 10 an 200 microns. The extract and particles are preferably selected from roasted coffee extract, respectively particles, green coffee extract, respectively particles and mixtures thereof. The coffee extract is preferably rich in macromolecules and comprises at least
40%, preferably at least 50% dry matter of macromolecules with a molecular weight comprised between 3.5 and 1600 KDa . The use of this emulsifier system in the manufacture of a frozen confectionery, and a frozen confectionery including such emulsifier system also form part of the invention.
In a further aspect, a method for the manufacture of a frozen confectionery as defined above comprising the steps of:
a. Blending a frozen confectionery ingredient mix comprising from 0.5 to 20wt% fat, from 5 to 15wt% milk solids-non-fat, from 5 to 35 wt% of a sweetening agent, up to 3 wt% of a stabiliser and from 0.1 to 10 wt% of an emulsifier system comprising at least one coffee extract and coffee particles as defined above,

Other conventional ingredients such as mineral salts, colorants, flavorings, inclusions, etc. can be present in the products of the invention
The invention further pertains to a method for the manufacture of a frozen confectionery product. Said process can be carried out using conventional equipment. The first step consists in blending an ingredient mix comprising from 0.5 to 20 wt% fat, from 5 to 15 wt% milk solids-non-fat, from 5 to 35 wt% of a sweetening agent and up to 3wt% stabilizers with 0.1 to 10 wt% of an emulsifier system comprising at least one coffee bean extract and as defined above. One of ordinary skill in the art can determine mixing time and conditions to obtain the desired homogeneous mass.
Thereafter, the homogeneous mass is preheated, e. g., to a temperature of about 62°C to about 75°C. The preheated homogeneous mass is conventionally homogenized, e. g., in a two stage homogenizer. The first stage is conducted at a pressure of about 70 bar to about 250 bar, preferably of about 100 bar to about 150 bar, more preferably about 150 bar. The second stage is conducted at a pressure of about 0 bar to about 50 bar, preferably of about 20 bar to about 35 bar. Subsequently, or preceding the homogenisation, pasteurization is conducted under conditions commonly used in the industry. The pasteurization step is conducted typically at a temperature of about 50°C to about 100 °C, preferably of about 60 °C to about 85 °C for a time of about 10 seconds to about 30 minutes, preferably for time of about 30 seconds followed by cooling to a temperature of about 0 °C to about 10 °C, preferably at a temperature of about 4 C. Preferably, pasteurization is conducted by either high temperature short time (HTST) or low temperature long time (LTLT) processing.
After pasteurization, the coffee particles are added to the mix and then the mix is preferably aged, preferably with agitation by allowing to stand at a temperature of about 0 °C to about 6 °C, preferably of about 1°C to about 5°C and for a time of about 1 hour to about 24 hours, preferably of about 2 hours to about 18 hours and more preferably of about 4 hours to about 12 hours.
The mix is then colored and flavored as needed.
In the next step, the mix is optionally aerated. In a preferred embodiment, the mix may be cooled to a
temperature below -3°C, preferably between -3 and -10°C, preferably at about -4.5 to -8°C with stirring and injection of gas to create the desired overrun. The frozen confectionery is preferably aerated to an overrun comprised between 20 and 250%, preferably between 80% to 150%, more preferably between 100% to 120%.
The aerated mix can be subjected to freezing either by using conventional freezing equipment or by a low temperature extrusion system. In this equipment, the aerated mix is cooled by extrusion at a temperature of below -11°C, preferably between -12°C and -18°C in a screw extruder. The screw extruder may be such as that described in WO 2005/070225. The extrusion may be performed in a single or twin screw extruder.
The frozen mix is then packaged and stored at temperatures below -20°C, where it will preferably undergo hardening step during storage. Alternatively, it can be hardened by accelerated hardening step, for example via a hardening tunnel, carried out at a temperature between -20°C to - 40°C for a sufficient time to harden the product. The coffee particles that can advantageously be used in the emulsifier system of the inventions are also an object of the invention. They are obtainable by a process comprising grinding coffee beans in liquid nitrogen; performing two aqueous extractions preferably using an ultrasound bath, then a water bath; filtrating the liquid phase from the solid part and drying the solid part to provide coffee particles.
