The invention relates to Chinese peony
anthocyanin tea and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of tea
product processing. The preparation method of the Chinese peony
anthocyanin teacomprises the following steps of washing petals of Chinese peony, and carrying out
microwave fixation so as to obtain a pretreated material; adding
distilled water into the pretreated material, and carrying out beating so as to obtain pulp; adding
cellulase and
pectinase into the pulp, and carrying out water bath treatment so as to obtain a primary material; inoculating the primary material witha compound fermentative bacterium agent, and carrying out
fermentation so as to obtain fermented liquid; performing homogenization treatment on the fermented liquid so as to obtain homogenized liquid;adding a mixture of
modified starch and
sodium caseinate into
distilled water, and carrying out stirring until the mixture is dissolved so as to obtain a
mixed solution; uniformly mixing the homogenized liquid with the
mixed solution, and performing decompressed concentration so as obtain an extract; and then,
drying the extract, carrying out
granulation, carrying out
coating with honey, and carrying out vacuum freeze-
drying so as to obtain the Chinese peony
anthocyanin tea. By adopting the preparation method, anthocyanin ingredients in Chinese peony flowers are made full use of, and stability and
retention rate of the anthocyanin ingredients are increased; moreover, the other nutrients are balanced by performing
fermentation, and thus, the prepared Chinese peony anthocyanin tea is comprehensive in nutrients and relatively good in taste.
