Estimating the term…
This invention concerns the extraction of the water solubles of the dahlia tuber which contains aroma and flavor bodies and the concentration, drying, and roasting of these extracts to produce additional flavor bodies. The roasted and ground flavorsome beverage powders so produced can be used to make palatable beverages in hot or cold milk or water. Furthermore the above beverage powders can be blended in concentrations of 1 to 99% with the flavor powders of coffee, tea or cocoa to produce flavor powders that complement each other when used to make water or milk beverages. Another objective is to blend the dahlia flavor powders with sugar or sugar mixtures to make sweetened beverage powders. Such sweetened beverage powders can again be blended with the powders of coffee, tea or cocoa.
The dahlia flavor powders produced by:
The process for making dahlia flavor powders by grinding, pressing and filtering dahlia tubers in order to extract the water soluble solids in 15% to 25% concentration by weight from the insoluble solids, then concentrating said extract to a thick syrup or solid of from 70% to 99% solids at temperatures of 50.degree. C. to 110.degree. C., then heating or roasting of said concentrated extract between 102.degree. C. and 225.degree. C. for periods of 3 minutes to 2 hours then grinding to a powder of 10 to 100 mesh U.S. Standard.
