The present invention relates to ready-to-drink beverage products. In particular, the invention is concerned with a protein system induced by controlled aggregation of milk proteins which imparts outstanding sensory attributes and improved physical stability of the beverage product, in particular when containing low fat and/or low sugar. A method of producing such beverage and the products obtainable from the method are also part of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a flavor composition, a method for preparing a flavor composition, a food product containing the flavor composition, and the use of the flavor composition. The present invention further relates to a conched confectionery product and a method for preparing a conched confectionery product.

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a fat-based flavour concentrate obtained by a thermal reaction wherein the process comprises the step of providing a flavour precursor composition comprising at least one polyol and at least one amino compound comprising amino acids, amino acid derivatives and peptides with a dairy ingredient;followed by heating the flavour precursor composition with the dairy ingredient to generate a fat-based flavour concentrate; and cooling the fat-based flavour concentrate.

Materials and methods for producing coffee replicas from individual components are provided herein.

Materials and methods for producing coffee replicas from individual components are provided herein.

Shown herein are small molecule compounds that can be used to increase the overall quality of a coffee beverage. The flavor enhancing compounds can be combined with coffee at any stage of its processing to increase the cup score of a coffee beverage. In some embodiments, the flavor enhancing compounds include one or more caffeic ester compounds, for instance caffeic acid esterified with a cyclitol or related compound.
