Health-care pumpkin seed beverage and processing method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a health-care pumpkin seed beverage. 100 parts of finished beverage products are prepared through the following steps: weighing the following components in parts by weight: 3-8 parts of dry pumpkin seed products with skins, 3-5.5 parts of sugar, 0.05-0.35 part of an emulsifying agent, 0.01-0.3 part of dietary alkali and 0.05-0.3 part of a protein stabilizing agent, then adding water, and finally processing and compounding the dry pumpkin seed products with skins, the sugar, the emulsifying agent, the dietary alkali, the protein stabilizing agent and the water. The processing method of the health-care pumpkin seed beverage comprises the following production steps: 1) cleaning the dry pumpkin seed products; 2) grinding the cleaned dry pumpkin seed products into pulp; 3) separating the pulp from dregs so as to obtain serosity; 4) emulsifying the serosity, the emulsifying agent, the protein stabilizing agent and the dietary alkali so as to obtain feed liquid; 5) dissolving the sugar so as to obtain syrup; 6) compounding the emulsified feed liquid with the syrup so as to obtain a pulp material; 7) filtering the pulp material; 8) pouring the filtered pulp material into a container, and sealing the container; and 9) performing high-pressure sterilization. According to the health-care pumpkin seed beverage disclosed by the invention, a method for grinding all the pumpkin seeds into the pulp with warm water is adopted, peeling equipment is omitted, and the pulp grinding technology is simple; besides, the loss of nutrient components is avoided, and the heat denaturation of pumpkin seed protein is avoided, so that the beverage obtains satisfactory mouth feel, and products have better health-care functions.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a health beverage and a processing method thereof, in particular to a pumpkin seed health beverage and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Pumpkin (Cucurbitamoschata) is a herb of the Cucurbitaceae squash genus. It originated from Mexico to Central America and was introduced to my country in the Ming Dynasty. Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, fat, amino acids (especially containing cucurbitine), phytosterols, cucurbitine, vitamins, minerals (especially high in zinc) and polysaccharides. [0003] Numerous studies have shown that pumpkin seeds can prevent and improve male prostate diseases, regulate blood sugar, prevent diabetes, lower blood pressure, prevent arteriosclerosis, and expel human parasites. [0004] For example, Chinese Patent CN102613641A discloses a technical proposal as follows: a pumpkin seed beverage comprising 50 to 80 parts by weight of pumpkin seed kernels, 60 to 100 parts by weight of sweeten...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] There are the following defects in the above-mentioned prior art: 1. The compound emulsifier with sucrose ester and mono- and diglyceride as the main components is used in the formula. Add the compound of beverage thickener xanthan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose or xanthan gum and glucomannan, etc., the beverage has high consistency and is not refreshing; 3, xylitol is used as sweetener in the formula, wood Although sugar alcohol is beneficial to the drinking characteristics of diabetics, it is easy to cause adverse side effects such as diarrhea in the human body; 4. A phosphate complexing agent is added to the formula, which prevents the denaturation of pumpkin seed protein, but deteriorates the taste of the drink; The skin method production process requires a large investment in equipment, and if the peeled pumpkin seeds cannot be processed in time, it is easy to cause oil oxidation and quality deterioration; there are also processes involving skin processing technology, but the process technology is relatively cumbersome; 6. Using homogeneous process procedures, the process is cumbersome and the investment in equipment is large
