The present invention relates to a health functional food for inhibiting a rise of blood glucose containing coffee and tagatose.

The invention relates to a process for obtaining soluble coffee with enhanced aroma, fragrance, and flavor compared to conventional soluble coffee, corresponding to the incorporation of pulverized coffee by continuous feeding during the drying operation of a coffee extract. Additionally, the invention also relates to the product obtained by said process, corresponding to instant coffee with pulverized coffee, preferably formulated with the incorporation of additives, powdered and/or also agglomerated.

A coffee milling process comprising the steps of: a) introducing particles of a roasted coffee precursor into a milling chamber; b) introducing particles of soluble coffee into the milling chamber; c) jetting a gas into the milling chamber to mobilise the particles of the roasted coffee precursor and soluble coffee; d) thereby producing a milled and blended coffee product by comminuting the particles of the roasted coffee precursor by self-collision of the particles of the roasted coffee precursor and by collision of the particles of soluble coffee with the particles of the roasted coffee precursor within the milling chamber. Processes and products incorporating milled and blended coffee products are also described.

There is provided a creamer composition, said composition comprising casein or a salt thereof and an oil, wherein the weight ratio of casein or salt thereof to oil is about 0.005:1 to about 0.035:1, preferably about 0.010:1 to about 0.030:1; preferably about 0.012:1 to about 0.028:1, more preferably about 0.015:1 to about 0.025:1. Also provided are uses of said creamer composition together with a process of preparing a creamer composition.
