USAGE OF DRY ICE
IN COFFEE
1. Retaining Aroma
in Coffee Extracts
When coffee beans are ground,
the volatile oil content (aroma) gets evaporated.
Without aroma, coffee quality suffers. Hence,
the instant coffee manufacturers cool the
coffee powder using Dry Ice:
In addition, One of the SICGIL
customer exports Emulsion (Extract of coffee)
and coffee oil to Moscow (Russia). They
pack coffee extracts in Cubitanier (Plastic
Tins) of 10.4kgs to withstand low temperature.
Dry Ice preserves the coffee
emulsion as well as the aroma. So the coffee
emulsion, rich in aroma, fetches more price
in local as well as international market.
2. Preserving Liquid
