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.
