Aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents and methods of use for the treatment of a variety of disorders. More particularly, aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents such as cannabinoids, nicotine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and vitamins, that provide enhanced bioavailability of the lipophilic active agents in a subject, and that mask unpleasant tastes of lipophilic active agents.

A product having an internal substance protected by a rugged exterior shell is disclosed. The internal substance is reactive with the exterior shell but is separated therefrom by a coating on an interior surface of the external shell so that the product can be stored for a long period of time without the internal substance reacting with the exterior shell. The coating is meltable so that, when desired, the product may be heated (e.g. immersed in hot water or exposed to heat) in order to melt the coating so that the internal substance can react with the external shell so that the internal substance can excrete out of the exterior shell.

Coffee beans having an increased flavor component, a method for increasing a flavor component in coffee beans, and a method for evaluating coffee beans are provided. A fatty acid methyl ester content of coffee beans is increased.

Pharmaceutical preparations are proposed, comprising bitter-masking acting substances for reducing and/or inhibiting gastric acid secretion induced by food constituents.

The present invention discloses a method for batch production of espresso coffee by preparing ground coffee and water mixture in a pressure chamber, degassing the ground coffee in the pressure chamber, extracting an initial brew from the degassed ground coffee via pressure, and producing a final brew (large batch of espresso coffee) from the initial brew.

The present invention provides to a method of preparing a flavored coffee using reduced amount of flavorant, and a coffee composition used for preparing such flavored coffee. An amount of colorant is used to replace up to 20.3% by weight of the flavorant present in a flavored coffee brew. The flavor perception of the coffee brew containing reduced amount of flavorant is equivalent to that of the original coffee brew containing regular amount of flavorant.

Disclosed is a novel instant coffee comprising aromatized soluble particles and a method of aromatizing soluble coffee particles. The soluble coffee particles are mixed with roast whole beans, and the mixture is held for at least two days. The result is aromatized soluble coffee particles, as evidenced by the presence of relatively high amounts of 2-methylpyrazine in instant coffee comprising said particles. The instant coffee has a favorable content in aroma components, yet with a low oil content.
