What it is
Instant coffee powder is made from brewed coffee beans that have been dehydrated. This process removes most of the water, leaving behind a concentrated powder. The powder can be reconstituted into coffee by adding hot water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use instant coffee powder as a convenient way to add coffee flavor to foods and beverages. It is often found in baked goods like cookies, as well as in sauces and even some candies. Its concentrated form allows for easy incorporation into dry mixes.
Health notes
Instant coffee powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains caffeine, which can have stimulant effects. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, and have established guidelines for safe consumption. Evidence on the long-term health effects of moderate coffee consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others noting risks associated with high intake.
Allergen info
Instant coffee powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
