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.

Shown is a method of making a coffee concentrate, and a coffee concentrate obtainable by the method. The method involves primary and secondary extraction, with split tapping of the primary extract into a first and second primary draw off. The extraction is conducted under such conditions as to satisfy a minimum mass transfer Fourier number, and a minimum ratio of the extraction yield of the first primary draw-off to the extraction yield obtained in all extraction sections.

A method for manufacturing a capsule with a coating, for preparing a beverage by introducing water. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing a compact of a beverage powder or a mixture of beverage powders, the compact having a surface that is coated or uncoated; (ii) contacting at least a portion of the surface, preferably the entire surface, of the compact with at least one polysaccharide, at least one crosslinking agent, and at least one polyol to form a layer; (iii) drying of the layer.

The layer formed in ii) and iii) is adjusted with a degree of swelling between 20% and 900%, preferably 60% to 850% and most preferably between 100% and 800%; and/or the capsule is expanded on contact with water by 0.3% to 6%, preferably 0.5% to 5.5% and most preferably 1.0% to 4.0%.
