US Patent:

47073683, Nov 17, 1987

Filed:

Nov 27, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/802792

Inventors:

Gerald J. Vogel - Tarrytown NY
Donald T. Kearney - Bayonne NJ
Belkis K. Akpinar - Parsippany NJ
Charles T. Moorman - Harrington Park NJ

Assignee:

General Foods Corporation - White Plains NY

International Classification:

A23F 526
A23F 548

US Classification:

426386

Abstract:

This invention relates to an improved process for steaming and later extracting roasted and ground coffee and the product of such process. The process comprises vacuum steaming roasted and ground coffee in a percolator at a temperature less than 200. degree. F. at a pressure of from 10" to 27"(Hg) and recovering the steam aroma produced by passing same through a wedge-wire draw-off apparatus, the draw-off apparatus comprising a helically wound wire assemblage being internal to the percolator. Thereafter the coffee is percolated to extract solids therefrom and the extract and aroma are combined and dehydrated to form a soluble coffee product.

International Classification:

A23F 520

US Classification:

426427

Abstract:

A method of continuously decaffeinating moistened, green coffee solids with supercritical carbon dioxide. Moistened, green coffee beans are moved periodically through an extraction vessel and contacted with continuously flowing supercritical carbon dioxide which extracts caffeine from the moist, green coffee beans. Caffeine is removed from the supercritical carbon dioxide by counter-current contact with wash water in an open vessel. The caffeine-depleted supercritical carbon dioxide is recirculated back to the extraction vessel and the caffeine-bearing wash water is subjected to concentration by reverse osmosis. Acidic, substantially caffeine-free permeate is directed back to the extraction system as wash water, or to moisturize the green coffee beans prior to extraction, or both.

Assignee:

Kraft General Foods, Inc. - Northfield IL

International Classification:

A23F 522

US Classification:

426422

Abstract:

An improved method for extracting caffeine from a coffee material, preferably raw coffee solids, with an extractant comprising supercritical carbon dioxide. Caffeine is continuously absorbed from the extractant with an aqueous wash solution in an absorber. This wash solution is continuously treated by reverse osmosis to form a caffeine-containing retentate stream and a permeate stream containing dissolved solids but substantially no caffeine. The permeate stream is recycled and used as wash water in the absorber or is used to prehydrate solid coffee materials, or both. The permeate stream comprises acidic dissolved solids.

Assignee:

Kraft General Foods, Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

A23F 518

US Classification:

544274

Abstract:

A process and apparatus for caffeine recovery from supercritical carbon dioxide is disclosed. The process involves countercurrent extraction of caffeine from supercritical carbon dioxide with water at pressures in excess of 1,000 p. s. i. in an unpacked extraction column. The apparatus includes an unpacked extraction vessel having a distributor therein for distributing water throughout substantially the entire cross-sectional area of the vessel.

US Patent:

Filed:

Feb 7, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/699362

Inventors:

Saul N. Katz - Monsey NY
Gerald J. Vogel - Tarrytown NY

Assignee:

General Foods Corporation - White Plains NY

International Classification:

A23F 548

US Classification:

426387

Abstract:

This invention relates to the use of a salt and/or a mild caustic in solution to increase the relative volatility of aromatics contained in an aqueous stream. The increased relative volatility so achieved enables more efficient concentration of the aromas via distillation. The pH of the aroma-containing aqueous stream does not exceed 7. 0 through the addition of the salt or caustic to prevent aroma degradation.

Appl. No.:

6/191568

Inventors:

Assignee:

General Foods Corporation - White Plains NY

International Classification:

A23L 127
A23L 1277

US Classification:

426540

Abstract:

A process is disclosed for isolating and concentrating a natural colorant of bland taste found in plants containing betanin. The process involves adjusting the pH of an aqueous extract of the betanin-containing plant to the isoelectric point of betanin, contacting the pH-adjusted extract with a non-ionic adsorbent to concentrate the betanin pigment on the adsorbent, eluting the adsorbent to remove the betanin pigment, and separating the pigment from the eluting agent.

International Classification:

G06F 1100
H04M 342

US Classification:

713200

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for authenticating on-line updates to listings maintained by a network-based directory service. An exemplary method for authenticating updates submitted on-line includes: (1) receiving an on-line update for a listing; (2) receiving origination information associated with a telephone call initiated by a user of a phone line corresponding to the listing; and (3) detecting a match between the origination information and at least a portion of the listing to authenticate the update. In one embodiment of the present invention, the origination information is a telephone number common to both the phone line from which the user is calling and the listing.
