Disposable packaging for beverage making devices

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/137,024, filed March 23, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/137,067, filed March 23, 2015 rights, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

technical field

The present invention relates to improvements to disposable packages for single-serve beverage making devices and to a method of making beverages by mixing a flavor medium contained in the disposable package with liquid supplied from a single-serve beverage making device.

Background technique

A variety of disposable packages have been developed for making beverages when placed in the container of a beverage making device. These disposable packages include a flavor medium sealed therein. The beverage making device makes the beverage by opening the disposable package such that liquid supplied by the beverage making device to the interior of the disposable package combines with the flavor medium to make the beverage, which is then dispensed from the disposable package. One challenge faced in developing disposable packages is to design a single-use package that can be opened and dispensed a beverage without causing cross-contamination between flavored media contained in successive disposable packages. When the beverage maker physically forms an opening in the disposable package and becomes contaminated with the flavored medium, or when the beverage is dispensed from the disposable package and residual aroma from the flavored medium remains in the container of the beverage maker cross-contamination may occur. During use, contamination of the beverage making device by one disposable package can be transferred to the next disposable package, causing cross-contamination. Accordingly, there is a need for a disposable package that can be opened in a manner that reduces contamination of the beverage making apparatus when the disposable package is opened and a beverage is dispensed.

detailed description

Embodiments of a disposable package for a beverage making device are disclosed herein for making a beverage when a liquid supply part of the beverage making device supplies liquid to the disposable package. The beverage making device is operable to make a beverage by passing a liquid through the disposable package, wherein the liquid is combined with a flavor medium (beverage precursor) contained in the disposable package to produce the beverage. The beverage making device is also operable to increase the pressure inside the disposable package to enable the disposable package to be unsealed and the beverage dispensed. In an embodiment, liquid supplied to the interior of the disposable package may cause an increase in pressure therein. Alternatively, the beverage making device may comprise gas supply means operable to increase the internal pressure of the disposable package.

Flavor perception of consumer products is defined as the combined impression of specific odor, taste, and trigeminal compounds and the evoked mouthfeel impression (ie, sensation, such as astringency, mouth coating, fullness, etc.). Odor compounds are volatile substances that interact with olfactory receptors in the nose causing brain signals to be interpreted as odors, while the five basic tastes are composed of tastants with specific flavors for salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, and umami, respectively. Furthermore, flavor perception elicited by taste receptor interactions includes features of the consumed product, such as the color profile of a beverage, which may affect the flavor perception of the beverage. The flavor media disclosed herein (eg, flavor systems, sensory compounds, or beverage precursors) combine compounds to create the flavor perception of a desired beverage, such as a desired alcoholic beverage or a desired alcoholic drink mix. The beverage precursor can be a clear liquid, alcohol-free, extract-free, concentrate-free, undissolved solids-free, and/or essential oil-free. The odor, taste and/or mouthfeel compounds may be water soluble. Compounds (eg, odorous compounds) can also be dissolved in alcohols (eg, ethanol).

In general, of the hundreds of chemical entities found in natural products, especially those agricultural raw materials that may undergo additional fermentation or prolonged storage, only about ten chemical entities are likely to be responsible for odor, taste, and mouthfeel. Isolation and chemical decomposition techniques enable the identification and quantification of hundreds of flavor compounds that can be detected in fermented and/or brewed alcoholic beverages.

Flavors that mimic the sensory attributes of certain products by using related flavor compounds that are identical or similar to natural products are termed "natural craft identical," and combinations of chemical entities that mimic natural products are termed "natural craft recombinants." Reconstitution agents can be changed or new compounds added to compensate for flavor compounds that cannot be used and to create new premium flavors that are not generally considered safe (GRAS) or reliability issues. By omitting or adding certain compounds in our "recombinants" important interactions between odor, taste and mouthfeel impressions can be determined and can be used to produce the best possible natural process-identical products , as outlined in commonly assigned US Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0272019 and commonly assigned US Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0272006, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. The reconstitution agent can be used as a component of a flavor medium that can be placed inside a corresponding disposable package and used to form an alcoholic beverage with a desired taste, as described herein.

The flavor medium can be mixed with a liquid base, preferably water and an alcohol, such as ethanol or vodka, by a beverage making device to produce flavors such as beer, wine, sparkling wine, cider, whiskey, gin, absinthe, rum rum, tequila and/or alcoholic mixed drinks (i.e. cocktails) with the smell and/or taste and/or texture of beverages, but does not exist in relation to the production of beer, wine, sparkling wine, cider, whiskey, cider Product-related fermentation, distillation, brewing and/or other costly and time-consuming measures (eg aging) of gin, vermouth, rum or tequila. In an alternative embodiment, the beverage precursor may be mixed with low flavor beer, wine, sparkling wine, cider, whiskey, gin, vermouth, rum, and/or tequila to produce a premium wine, Sparkling wine, cider, whiskey, gin, vermouth, rum, tequila and/or alcoholic mixes (i.e. cocktails) flavored beverages.

The amount of flavor medium contained within the disposable package is preferably sufficient to form a single serve beverage with an alcohol content in the range of 0.1% alcohol to 90% alcohol by volume. For example, the volume content of alcohol in wine is about 0.1% alcohol to 25% alcohol, the volume content of alcohol in whiskey is about 40% alcohol (or lower) to 70% alcohol, and the volume content of alcohol in beer is about Between 2% alcohol and 20% alcohol. When forming a corresponding disposable package for preparing the desired alcoholic beverage, if an adult consumer wishes to obtain a beverage with a lower alcohol content than expected, the alcohol-containing The amount of alcohol in the liquid may be selected based on the type of beverage to be formed and/or may be controlled by a controller of the beverage making device supplying the alcohol-containing liquid for forming the beverage. . For example, low-alcohol or no-alcohol beer may be dispensed from a beverage making device and, if traditionally brewed, may have the taste of a traditional higher-alcohol beer. Examples of flavor media can be found in commonly assigned US Patent Application Publication No. 2016/0073673, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
