Controlling the production of an extract using solid-liquid extraction that improves the exchange of material during the extraction process and allows a controlled dehumidification of a raffinate with residual moisture in order to obtain additional valuable extract is described. The steps include providing a first mass in an extraction container, supplying a second mass to the first mass without spatial constraints and distributing and mixing the second mass into and with the first mass, discharging a mixture of the extract and the raffinate from the extraction container, separating the discharged mixture into the raffinate with residual moisture and extracts released from the raffinate with residual moisture, and further treating the raffinate with residual moisture at least such that the residual moisture consisting of the extract is at least partly removed from the raffinate with residual moisture by dehumidification and is supplied to the already separated extract.

A baking process of high-quality green tea for a beverage is provided. The baking process includes: 1) providing a tea baking device; 2) conducting first moisture regaining; 3) conducting baking preparations; 4) conducting segmented baking; and 5) conducting preservation. By applying a far-infrared component, a heating component, and a humidification component, the moisture in the green tea is quickly removed by far-infrared baking when the green tea has a high moisture content, reshaping the green tea under the action of high temperature and high humidity while promoting the transformation of endogenous substances in green tea. The heating component improves the overall aroma and taste quality of green tea and promotes the leaching of green tea substances by hot air baking when the green tea has a low moisture content, making baked green tea samples show a strong and lasting aroma as well as a rich taste.

The present invention relates to a green coffee-based composition comprising hydrolysed chlorogenic acid for use in the treatment or prevention of a disorder linked to an increase in plasma postprandial insulin in a subject. The invention relates also to the non-therapeutic use of a composition comprising an esterase treated decaffeinated green coffee extract with an amount of 40-200 mg administered to a subject per day to decrease plasma postprandial insulin concentration. A further aspect of the invention is a process for forming green coffee based compositions.
