Compositions comprising a natural, non-ingestible processed coffee fruit material, optionally flavored with natural ingredients, and in a form that may be placed in the mouth of a user are provided. Such compositions enable the delivery of caffeine, antioxidants, coffee flavor, and/or other flavors from the coffee fruit to the user in a convenient, enjoyable, and discrete manner. The compositions provide the benefits of a coffee-based beverage in situations where it would be impractical or inappropriate for the user to consume a liquid beverage. They also provide an alternative to unhealthy non-ingestible products, such as smokeless tobacco products. Also provided are methods of manufacturing the disclosed compositions and packaged consumer products containing the compositions.

The invention relates to a plant-based glutamic acid rich protein composition and method of making the same. The composition provides a spectrum of amino acids, including an abundance of glutamic acid. The composition is free of the antibiotics and growth hormones associated with animal-sourced proteins and does not require amino acid supplementation to achieve high levels of glutamic acid. In some aspects, the composition is obtained from coffee beans, including defatted green coffee beans.

A method for processing coffee cherry is shown herein. The method includes the application of coating material, preferably a granular solid material, to pulped wet coffee or coffee fruit with pulp removed, prior to drying. The method provides expedited uniform drying of coffee cherries and producing coffee free of contaminants and scalable and environmentally friendly. Coffee produced has distinctive desirable taste.

Provided is a method of producing a chlorogenic acid-containing composition, including a step of subjecting coffee beans to column extraction using an aqueous solvent, in which the coffee beans include at least one selected from the group consisting of green coffee beans, decaffeinated green coffee beans, roasted coffee beans having an L value of 40 or more, and decaffeinated roasted coffee beans having an L value of 25 or more, and include at least one selected from the group consisting of unground coffee beans and ground coffee beans having an average particle size of 2.0 mm or more.

Provided is a method of producing a purified chlorogenic acid-containing composition, including a contact step of bringing a chlorogenic acid-containing composition having solids concentration of from 1.5 mass % to 4.7 mass % and a caffeine/chlorogenic acid mass ratio of 5 or less into contact with a porous adsorbent.
