Embodiment 1

[0022] 1) Preparation of tea polyphenol solution: use tea polyphenols with a caffeine content of less than 0.5% and a purity of greater than 98% to prepare an aqueous solution of tea polyphenols with a mass fraction of 5%.

[0023] 2) Deactivation and decaffeination: Put 1Kg of fresh tea leaves into 8L of the above-mentioned tea polyphenol solution to immerse and deactivate, treatment conditions, temperature 95℃, time 4min. After centrifugation or draining, the tea leaves were taken out. The treated solution was 7.8L. The content of caffeine in the solution was detected to be 1.52mg / ml. Then 0.9Kg of fresh tea leaves were added again. Treatment conditions, temperature 100℃, time 5min, after treatment, the solution The content of caffeine is 3.21mg / ml (the solution can be recycled after caffeine is removed from the lignocellulose or macroporous resin chromatography column).

[0024] 3) Centrifugal dewatering or draining the extracted tea leaves, according to the traditional tea maki...

Embodiment 2

[0029] 1) Preparation of instant tea powder solution: Use instant tea powder with a caffeine content of less than 0.5% to prepare an aqueous solution of instant tea powder with a mass fraction of 15%.

[0030] 2) Decaffeinated: Put 0.5Kg of roasted green dry green tea into 10L of the above instant tea powder solution, treatment conditions, temperature 95℃, time 7min, centrifuge or drain the tea leaves. The filtered solution can be reused. When the content of caffeine is greater than 3.0mg / ml, it can be recycled after the caffeine is removed from the lignocellulose or macroporous resin chromatography column.

[0031] 3) Centrifugal dehydration of the extracted tea leaves and drying at -0.98MPa and 60°C to obtain hypocaffeine tea.

[0032] 4) In order to illustrate the superiority of this method, deionized water was used to replace the low-caffeine instant tea powder solution, and other conditions were the same as the control treatment. The test results are shown in Table 2

Embodiment 3

[0036] 1) Preparation of tea polyphenol solution: use tea polyphenol with a caffeine content of less than 1.0% and a purity of greater than 95% to prepare a tea polyphenol solution with a mass fraction of 15%.

[0037] 2) Put 0.5Kg of roasted green tea into 10L of the above-mentioned instant tea powder solution, and the treatment conditions are: temperature 100°C, time 5min.

[0038] 3) Centrifugal dehydration of the extracted tea leaves and drying at -0.98Mpa at 60°C to obtain hypocaffeine tea.

[0039] 4) The solution can be used again after the tea is processed. When the content of caffeine is greater than 3.0mg / ml, it can be recycled after the caffeine is removed from the lignocellulose or macroporous resin chromatography column.

[0040] 5) The treated solution is 9.5L, 0.45Kg of fried green tea is put into it, and treated at 100°C for 7 minutes.

[0041] 6) Take out the tea leaves for centrifugal dehydration, and dry them at -0.98Mpa at 60°C to obtain hypocaffeine tea 2. The test...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing low-caffeine tea leaves, which is to remove caffeine from fresh tea leaves or dry tea leaves by leaching in solution of tea polyphenol or low-caffeine instant tea powder and comprises the steps of: adding water into tea polyphenol or low-caffeine instant tea powder containing less than 0.5 percent of caffeine to prepare the tea polyphenol or low-caffeine instant tea powder solution at a concentration of 2 to 20 percent; placing the fresh tea leaves or dry tea leaves into the solution of tea polyphenol or low-caffeine instant tea powder to remove caffeine by leaching, wherein the weight-volume ratio of the fresh tea leaves to the solution is 1:4 to 1:8, and the weight-volume ratio of the dry tea leaves to the solution is 1:10 to 1:20; and taking the tea leaves out, centrifugally dewatering, drying and refining to obtain low-caffeine tea. When the method is used, the removal rate of the caffeine from the tea leaves reaches 95 percent, the tea polyphenol loss is prevented, and 90 percent of other effective ingredients can be retained, and pollution is prevented in a preparation process; and the equipment used in the invention is simple and requires small investment, the operation is convenient, and industrial batch production is convenient.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing low-caffeine tea leaves, belonging to the technical field of tea deep processing. Background technique [0002] Tea has anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-radiation, anti-fatigue, cholesterol reduction, and prevention of arteriosclerosis, etc., and is one of the most popular beverages for consumers. However, because tea contains caffeine that excites the brain and stimulates the heart, some people with neurasthenia, pregnant women, children, and people with weakened heart function may cause physical discomfort or other side effects after long-term drinking tea with high caffeine content. Low-caffeine tea can not only meet the demand of these consumer groups for tea drinking, but also segment the tea market, improve the level of refinement of tea processing, and have a good market prospect. [0003] At present, the technology of low-caffeine tea beverage and instant tea powder has matured and entered the stage of indu...
