METHOD FOR PRODUCING BEVERAGE CONCENTRATE FROM SOLUBLE AND/OR NATURAL COFFEE, AND/OR SOLUBLE AND/OR NATURAL TEA, AND/OR SOLUBLE AND/OR NATURAL COCOA Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: food-processing industry. SUBSTANCE: method involves supplying into vessel mixture of soluble and/or natural coffee, and/or soluble and/or natural tea, and/or soluble and/or natural cocoa with sugar, any saccharose-containing product or substitutes thereof, or with any known food products which, upon mechanical interaction, for example rubbing, with soluble and/or natural coffee, and/or soluble and/or natural tea, and/or soluble and/or natural cocoa in the presence of required amount of liquid, result in intensive foaming of mixture. In case added food product lacks amount of liquid required for initial foaming process, dosed amount of liquid, such as water, milk, water steam etc, is added into vessel. Method further involves subjecting produced mixture to mechanical treatment resulting in mixing basic products and rubbing one against another and against vessel part surfaces. During such procedure, complex physicochemical processes occur and foamed product is obtained. Foamed product is urged from vessel in dosed portions having different densities in the course of process and delivered for further usage. Separate portions of foamed product may be further settled till required density. Method allows range of products with improved functional capabilities to be widened. EFFECT: simplified method, improved gustatory and other consumer qualities of products. 2 cl
