  2. Why investigate aroma in instant coffee?

  3. Why investigate aroma extraction? Making coffee ‘more aromatic’ or giving ‘new & improved flavour’ requires process modification Aroma is complex… Thiols Diketones Furanones Guaiacols Pyrazines 3

  4. The instant coffee process and aroma extraction

  6. The aroma extraction process – steam stripping Plant scale • A previous Government funded collaboration (Innovate UK) with University of Birmingham was project RICE (Reduced Energy Instant Coffee) Aromatized condensate • Project aim was to reduce energy and water use in the freeze drying process by 25% by increasing ’00s kg coffee the solids content of the feed to the freeze-dryer < 1.8 mm grind size 4-70% w/w added water • Using more concentrated aromas is one way to achieve this concentration increase 1.1-2.0 barg inlet Steam 2-40 mins steaming • Process aims are to maximise yield and concentration of aroma whilst tailoring the 6 sensory profile

Coffee modelling in literature 1) Caffeine extraction characterized by effective diffusion coefficient 2) Extraction from solid phase to intra- and inter- granular pores using mass transfer coefficients 3) Measurements of aroma extraction fitted with apparent diffusion coefficient and/or Weibull distribution 1) Spiro, M. and Chong, Y.Y.

  19. Model results Predictions of plant scale steam stripping

  20. Extraction is determined by polarity and partitioning behaviour Furaneol concentration in the steam throughout the column with time 20

  21. The effect of steaming time Very polar compounds (e.g. furaneol) increase in concentration with time Other compounds are diluted, with reactive compounds diluting most and apolar compounds diluting the least 21

  22. Optimizing extraction Grind size and steaming time are significant variables but they affect aromas differently Coarse grinds and long times favour polar compounds Finer grinds and short times favour guaiacols 22

  23. Summary and next steps

  24. Summary Aroma steam stripping can be modelled by oil release, diffusion, • Henry’s law partition and advection Three categories of aroma can be identified by physical-chemical • properties Process variables (time and grind size) can be optimized for particular • compounds and aromatic notes Next Steps Extraction from partially wet coffee + wetting kinetics • Experimental data at lab and pilot plant scale • Identifying reactive compounds • 24
