Method to produce food products that provides to subject to washing a food raw material containing caffeine and already subjected to roasting in order to obtain a food product with reduced caffeine content and a flavored beverage.

A method of manufacturing a coffee grounds powder includes: an inputting process in which coffee grounds are input into a mixing portion of a caffeine reduction apparatus; a water inputting process in which an inlet and outlet pipe is opened and water is filled inside the main housing such that the coffee grounds input into the mixing portion are submerged; an ultraviolet ray emitting process in which ultraviolet rays are emitted to the water and an inside of the mixing portion; an elution water discharging process in which an elution water in which caffeine is decomposed is discharged to an outside from the main housing; a drying process in which the coffee grounds that remain in the mixing portion are dried by rotating the mixing portion; and a mixing process in which the coffee grounds in which drying is finished are mixed with a viscous additive.

Provided herein include caffeinated, partially decaffeinated, and decaffeinated paraxanthine beverages, coffees and paraxanthine coffee beverages. Also provided are methods for the production of caffeinated, partially decaffeinated, and decaffeinated paraxanthine beverages, coffees and paraxanthine coffee beverages. In some embodiments, disclosed compositions may provide consumers with increased alertness and wakefulness, while preventing side effects commonly associated with caffeinated drinks.

The present disclosure relates to methods and/or techniques for the production of cold-brew coffee extracts, which enable continuous and rapid extraction and simultaneously improved yield of aromatic constituents and nutritionally beneficial components (e.g., polyphenols, antioxidants, and/or sugars) when compared to known cold-brew techniques. The method enables continuous processing within a shortened time frame, while producing extracts with improved flavour yield, intensity and body. In addition, cold-brew coffee extracts and instant powders prepared by said methods are described.
