Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fermented plant beverage processing, and particularly relates to a method for preparing fermented coffee cascara tea. Background Art
[0002] Coffee peel is rich in chlorogenic acid, caffeine, trigonelline, anthocyanin, dietary fiber, crude protein, 17 kinds of amino acids, 15 kinds of fatty acids, as well as a variety of vitamins, minerals, bioactive components and beneficial ingredients. Its nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body than coffee beans, and it has antibacterial, antiviral, lipid-lowering, free radical scavenging, skin improvement, anti-aging, beauty and skin care, gastrointestinal motility promotion, lipid-lowering and weight loss, indigestion regulation, blood circulation and qi regulation, heat-clearing and fire-purging, cooling blood and detoxification, blood circulation promotion, prevention of osteoporosis, rickets, iron-deficiency anemia in women, and help detoxification of the body.
[0003] For a long time, coffee cherries, a byproduct of coffee beans, have been largely discarded in coffee-producing regions around the world. However, since the release of the Yunnan Provincial Food Safety Standard "Coffee Cherries" (DBS53 / 033-2022), coffee cherries can now be sold as food.
[0004] Common coffee cascara teas on the market typically use fresh coffee cascara, sun-dried, roasted in a roaster to 100-160°C, and then brewed directly from the roaster. This results in an astringent taste because the chlorogenic acid and tannins in the cascara aren't converted. While roasting achieves peak sweetness, it also imparts a strong burnt bitterness, resulting in a monotonous flavor. This invention aims to provide a method for producing fermented coffee cascara tea that retains the active ingredients of the coffee cascara, the aroma and flavor of the coffee fruit, and the beneficial components produced by fermentation metabolism, while also providing a richer taste. This represents a novel fermented beverage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing fermented coffee cascara tea.
[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved by a method for preparing fermented coffee cascara tea, comprising the following steps: Fruit peel pretreatment: clean the fresh coffee fruit peel, protect the color and oxygen; Preparation of fermentation liquid: Inoculate the fermentation bacteria into a fermentation medium with a sugar content of 6°Brix, with the mass ratio of fermentation bacteria to fermentation medium being 1:150-250, and incubate at 15-30°C for 20-28 hours to prepare the fermentation liquid for use; Fruit peel fermentation: Dilute the yeast solution 250-350 times and add it to the pre-treated coffee peel. Seal and soak and ferment at 15-25℃ for 12-96 hours. During the fermentation period, control the sugar content within the range of 6-10°Brix and the alcohol content less than 3%. Separation and drying: the fermented coffee fruit peel is separated from the fermentation liquor, and dried to a water content of <12%, to obtain the target coffee fruit peel tea.
[0007] The technical solution of the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: (1) The technical solution uses composite strain fermentation, optimizes the nutritional component structure, strengthens the probiotic function of the fruit peel tea, and enriches the flavor composition of the fruit peel tea. In addition, the enzyme bacteria and the metabolic power of the low-temperature Raman yeast can continue to participate in the metabolism and transformation of residual sugar in the later fermentation stage, which is more conducive to flexible adjustment of the fermentation time and the formation of rich layers of fruit aroma and taste of the fruit peel tea.
[0008] (2) The use of Chuanxi enzyme starter, French Raman active dry yeast D254, and French Raman active dry yeast DV10 in a 1:1.5:1.5 combination can better maintain the original flavor of the coffee fruit pulp. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (3) The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae bacteria and Weissella confu according to a mass ratio of 1:10 can better remove the raw green taste and astringency, and the taste is softer. Weissella confusa Saccharomyces yeast (4) The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae bacteria and Rhizopus sp. according to a mass ratio of 1:1 can make the taste more inclined to mature fruit and sweet wine flavor. Rhizopus Saccharomyces cerevisiae (5) The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae bacteria and Debaryomyces hansenii according to a mass ratio of 2:1 can make the taste more inclined to fruit flavor. Torulaspora delbrueckii
[0009] (3) The cell wall of the coffee fruit peel after fermentation is subjected to a certain degree of enzymolysis, which can promote the release of beneficial ingredients in the coffee fruit peel during the brewing process, and further adjust the concentration and probiotic function of the fruit peel tea. The technical solution changes the traditional coffee fruit peel boiler baking and drying method to low-temperature drying, avoids the bitter taste of the fruit peel tea, retains the original fruit aroma and rich taste, and realizes the healthy and high-value utilization of the coffee fruit peel.
[0010] (4) The use of fruit acid and phytic acid liquid to immediately pretreat the fresh fruit peel of decaffeinated coffee beans can clean, protect oxygen, and protect color.
[0011] (5) The use of hot treatment to remove astringency in the fruit peel pretreatment process can remove the astringency caused by tannin components in fresh fruit peel.
[0012] (6) It is preferred to add rolling treatment when separating the coffee peel from the fermentation liquid or after separation. The shear force can accelerate the chain breakage of cellulose in the cell wall, which can promote the release of beneficial ingredients in the coffee peel during the brewing process, further improving the extraction ratio of the peel tea, the product consistency and the probiotic function.
[0013] (7) Freeze drying can better preserve the original bright color and flavor of coffee cascara and its derivatives. Constant temperature thin layer rapid drying or constant temperature fluidized bed drying can avoid the burnt bitterness of cascara during roasting, retaining a variety of aromas and tastes, and realizing high-value utilization of coffee cascara.
[0014] (8) The fermented coffee cascara tea product can be further processed into instant coffee cascara powder, which is more convenient to consume. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
