Method for producing tea gum

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing tea gum, comprising the steps that: feeding dry tea serving as raw materials into a supercritical extraction kettle, extracting the fluid by carbon dioxide at the temperature of 30 to 45 DEG C and the pressure of 20 to 45MPa for 3 to 5h, then performing the first separation to obtain volatile oil and first crude extract; feeding the first crude extract into a separation kettle for the second separation, then adding absolute alcohol cosolvent into the separation kettle and extracting the mixture at the temperature of 45 to 60 DEG C and the pressure of 15 to 30MPa for 3 to 5h to obtain extract and second crude extract; extracting the second crude extract with hot water of 70 to 100 DEG C for 1 to 4h, concentrating and drying water extract and then crushing the obtained product to obtain aqueous extract; combining the volatile oil, the extract and the aqueous extract and mixing the combined product uniformly to obtain the tea extract; and mixing the tea extract and gum base in a water bath uniformly, then adding sweetener, wetting agent and spice into the mixture, and uniformly mixing the mixture to obtain the finished product by a noodle cutting machine. The gum prepared by the method not only remains the natural aroma of the tea but also has the health care function of the tea.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chewing gum, in particular to a preparation method of the tea-containing chewing gum. Background technique [0002] Since ancient times, my country has had the culture and habit of drinking tea to maintain health. It is believed that tea has good medical effects, as Chen Zangqi said in the Tang Dynasty: "All medicines are the medicine of each medicine, and tea is the medicine of ten thousand medicines." Modern pharmacological experiments have confirmed that tea has anti-oxidation, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, antibacterial, anti-allergic and other effects. Modern analysis and research have determined that tea contains a variety of organic chemical components and inorganic mineral elements, mainly containing proteins, amino acids, alkaloids, tea polyphenols, sugars, organic acids, etc. It is these chemical components that exert various effects of tea . [0003] In recent years, some merchants have added tea t...

Problems solved by technology

Most of the tea-containing chewing gums on the market simply add tea extracts with a single component to the chewing gum, which loses the original fragrance of the tea, and spices cannot make up for this defect. Moreover, these tea extracts with a single component cannot be used in chewing gum. Give full play to the various health benefits of tea
