The different relative Galactomannans content of compounds in the brews modulates coffee body, aroma, and colour. In this study it was hypothesized Infusion coffee that a coffee infusion allows to obtain extracts that resemble espresso coffee (EC) physicochemical properties. Instant coffee Carbohydrates (content and composition) were the target compounds as they are organoleptically important for Response surface methodology Volatile compounds EC due to their association to foam stability and viscosity. The freeze-drying of the extracts allowed better dissolution properties than spray-drying. Instant coffee powders were obtained with chemical overall compo sition resembling espresso, although with lower lipids content. The extracts were able to produce the charac teristic foam through CO2 injection or salts addition. Their redissolution at espresso concentration allowed a viscosity, foamability and volatile profile representative of an espresso coffee, opening new exploitation possibilities. 1. Introduction distinctive features for certain coffee brews, as the lower amount of lipids in filtered brews (Gloess et al., 2013; Moeenfard, Silva, Borges, Espresso coffee (EC) is defined as a coffee brew of reduced volume Santos, & Alves, 2015; Silva, Borges, Santos, & Alves, 2012; Speer & and distinct sensorial properties such as body, aroma, taste, and colour, Kolling-Speer,¨ 2006), or an overall higher carbohydrate content in with a characteristic persistent foam that covers the liquid (Illy & Viani, instant coffee promoted by the severe extraction conditions used (Blanc, 2005; Nunes, Coimbra, Duarte, & Delgadillo, 1997).

Coffee brew composition has been shown to depend For extraction studies, the use of the same coffee product avoids on the preparation method, as EC, filter, instant, or moka (Angeloni variations related to features as coffee species, geographical origin, or et al., 2019; Caporaso, Genovese, Canela, Civitella, & Sacchi, 2014; roasting degree that affect the composition of the roasted beans and the Cordoba, Fernandez-Alduenda, Moreno, & Ruiz, 2020; Gloess et al., properties of coffee brews.

The same roasted coffee was used to and with crucial impact on espresso properties as viscosity and foam prepare the espresso coffee (6.0 g, 40 ± 2 mL) that after freeze-drying stability, carbohydrates should be chosen as target compounds for was used as reference (EC1).

Further commercial single- Carbohydrates are the major group of compounds in green and dose coffee capsules (6.0 g) were prepared on a Delta Q® QOSMO ma roasted powder, as well as in coffee brews, having a considerable impact chine. Different blends were used: EC2 (labelled intensity 5), EC3 on brew properties. Galactomannans (GM) and arabinogalactans (AG) (labelled intensity 10), and two equal coffee blends with different are the main carbohydrates in coffee brews (Moreira, Nunes, Dom roasting degrees: EC4 (light) and EC5 (dark). After extraction, EC sam ingues, & Coimbra, 2015). GM, a linear polysaccharide composed ples were frozen, freeze-dried, and stored until characterisation. A 100% mainly by mannose residues branched with single residues of galactose, instant coffee sample (IC1) was also analysed, as well as a commercial are related to the viscosity verified in coffee brews, and the amount of instant coffee powder, referred as “espresso” in the label (IC2). The carbohydrates is associated to EC foam stability (Nunes et al., 1997), significant differences were assessed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) evidencing their importance in EC. In instant coffee, AG assume a pre through Tukey’s range test (α = 0.05) using Minitab and GraphPad ponderant abundance due to the extreme extraction conditions applied, Prism 5.00. which consequently lead to a relative decrease in the content of other compounds, such as caffeine and chlorogenic acids (Blanc et al., 1989; 2.3. Infusion preparations Leloup, 2006; Lopes et al., 2020; Villalon-L´ opez,´ Serrano-Contreras, T´ellez-Medina, & Gerardo Zepeda, 2018). The infusion preparations were performed in 100 mL Erlenmeyer In this study, it was hypothesized that the modulation of an infusion flasks as described in Lopes et al.
