Buzzed Donuts - Microencapsulation Of Caffeine !

Pretty soon you can get your cup of Joe incapsulated into your donut or bagle, so no more spillage on the car ride in the morning. Inventor Dr Robert Bohannon in collaboration with food industry experts came up with a patent-pending microencapsulation process that allows the inclusion of very small caffein particles into baked goods. He has already trademarked the names Buzz Donuts and Buzzed Bagels, and has approached major food chains such as Krispy Kreme, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts with the idea. Amongst others, he expects the format may be popular with college students cramming for exams, who can combine a sugar and caffeine hit in one. Moreover, the patent he has filed does not restrict the technology to caffeine, but covers any ingredient that cannot be easily incorporated into products without impairing taste – such as vitamins and minerals. As for whether bakery products that include caffeine could lead people to consume too much caffeine ; The final dose would be down to the marketer, but Dr. Bohannon anticipates a maximum of 50 to 100mg of caffeine per serving. A typical cup of coffee contains 50mg of caffeine.
