Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a coffee extract which comprises use of an enzyme having β-1,3-galactanase activity and to a coffee extract which comprises at least 20% based on the total weight of soluble coffee solids of total galactose.
Claims15
A method for producing a coffee extract, comprising the steps:
- a. providing roast and ground coffee beans;
- b. adding to said coffee beans water and an enzyme having β-1,3-galactanase activity;
- c. incubating to make an aqueous coffee extract;
- and
- d. separating the coffee extract from the extracted coffee beans.
2 more elements
A coffee extract which:
- a. comprises at least 20% based on the total weight of soluble coffee solids of total galactose;
- b. has a free galactose content of less than 50% by weight of the total galactose content;
- c. has a weight ratio of total galactose to total arabinose of more than 3:1;
- and
- d. is characterized in that at least 45% by weight of its carbohydrate fraction is oligosaccharides having a degree of polymerization of more than 5.
