METHOD FOR AROMATIZING A COFFEE SUBSTRATE

摘要

A method for aromatizing a food substrate such as coffee. A particulate mixture of solid coolant, such as dry ice, and food substrate is formed into a rapidly agitated, preferably fluidized, adsorbent bed while in contact with aroma and flavor volatiles which adsorb onto the mixture. The coolant is then vaporized to provide an aromatized food product. In the case of coffee, the aromatized product which is formed has an intense, good fidelity coffee aroma.
