Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a novel method for preparing birch tea. Background Technology

[0002] Birch, a deciduous tree widely distributed in temperate regions, contains abundant bioactive components in its bark, branches, and leaves, including triterpenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, amino acids, and various trace elements. These components possess various pharmacological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. There is a long-standing tradition of using parts of birch tree to make tea, believing it to have health benefits. However, the traditional method of simply drying the birch and then steeping it directly presents several problems.

[0003] First, traditional preparation methods are crude, typically involving only simple washing and natural drying. This makes it difficult to completely remove impurities from the raw materials, and the natural drying process makes them susceptible to microbial contamination, affecting product safety. Second, the active ingredients in birch raw materials are mostly encased in tough cell walls, which traditional methods cannot break down, resulting in poor dissolution of active ingredients and extremely low absorption rates by the human body. Furthermore, untreated birch raw materials contain high levels of tannins and volatile oils, which produce a distinctly bitter and pungent taste when brewed directly, severely impacting the drinking experience and limiting its promotion as a daily tea beverage.

[0004] While there are some studies on birch product processing in the existing technology, most focus on the extraction of single components, such as birch sap, with limited research on systematic preparation processes for birch tea. Some processes employ high-temperature drying, resulting in significant loss of heat-sensitive active ingredients; others attempt enzymatic hydrolysis, but inappropriate enzyme selection and poor control of processing conditions fail to effectively improve taste and increase component utilization. Furthermore, existing processes generally suffer from long production cycles, high energy consumption, and unstable product quality, making industrial-scale production difficult.

[0005] With increasing health awareness, the demand for natural health-promoting teas is growing. Developing a novel birch tea preparation method that effectively preserves the active ingredients of birch, improves taste, and is suitable for industrial production has significant practical importance and market value. This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a birch tea preparation method that is technologically sound, highly innovative, and yields remarkable results. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a novel method for preparing birch tea, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a novel method for preparing birch tea, comprising the following specific steps: S1. Select healthy birch trees with a growth cycle of 3 to 5 years. Collect tender shoots with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 cm and phloem with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 cm in April and May each year. Cut the tender shoots into small segments with a length of 1 to 2 cm and slice the phloem into thin slices with an area of ​​2 to 3 cm². Mix them evenly to obtain a raw material mixture. The mass ratio of tender shoots to phloem in the raw material mixture is 3:2. S2. Place the raw material mixture in an ultrasonic cleaner, add purified water at a temperature of 4-6℃, with a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:8-1:10, turn on the ultrasonic cleaner, set the power to 200-250W, the frequency to 40kHz, and the cleaning time to 15-20 minutes. Change the purified water every 5 minutes during the cleaning process. After cleaning, remove the raw material and quickly dry the surface moisture with hot air at 30-40℃, controlling the moisture content of the raw material to 65%-70%. S3. Place the cleaned raw materials into a vacuum drying oven and use a segmented gradient drying method to reduce the moisture content of the raw materials to 15%–20%. The segmented gradient drying process is as follows: (1) Dry for 1.5 to 2 hours under vacuum of 0.06-0.07 MPa and temperature of 35-40℃; (2) Adjust the vacuum to 0.08-0.09 MPa and the temperature to 45-50℃, and continue drying for 1-1.5 hours; (3) Maintain the vacuum at 0.09 MPa, lower the temperature to 30-35℃, and dry for 30-40 min; S4. The dried raw material is fed into an ultra-high pressure processing device. Under the condition of -5 to 0℃, a pressure of 300-350MPa is applied and the pressure is maintained for 10 to 15 minutes. After depressurization, the raw material is taken out and immediately crushed and passed through an 80-100 mesh sieve to obtain birch powder. S5. Add 5-8 times the weight of deionized water to the birch powder, stir evenly, and adjust the pH to 4.5-5.0. Add 0.3%-0.5% of the weight of birch powder of a compound enzyme, which is composed of cellulase, pectinase, and protease in a mass ratio of 2:1:1. Incubate the enzyme in a constant temperature water bath at 45-50℃ for 2-2.5 hours, stirring once every 30 minutes for 2 minutes each time. After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, raise the temperature of the solution to 90-95℃ and keep it at that temperature for 10 minutes to deactivate the enzyme. S6. Cool the enzymatically hydrolyzed solution to 30-32℃, and inoculate it with 1%-2% of fermentation inoculum by weight. The fermentation inoculum is a mixed bacterial solution of Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a volume ratio of 1:1, with a bacterial concentration of 10. 8 -10 9CFU / mL; fermentation was carried out under sealed conditions in a fermentation chamber at 30-32℃ for 18-24 hours, with the relative humidity maintained at 60%-65% during the fermentation process. S7. Press and filter the fermented material to obtain filtrate and filter residue; put the filter residue into a supercritical extraction vessel and extract for 1.5 to 2 hours using CO2 as the extractant at an extraction pressure of 25-30 MPa, an extraction temperature of 40-45℃, and a CO2 flow rate of 20-25 L / h; collect the extract and mix it evenly with the above filtrate to obtain a mixture. S8. The mixture is fed into a microwave vacuum dryer. The vacuum degree is set to 0.08-0.09MPa, the microwave power is 600-700W, the drying temperature is controlled at 40-45℃, and the drying time is 40-50min. During the drying process, the mixture is stirred once every 10min. When the moisture content of the material drops to 5%-8%, the drying is stopped. The material is then removed, crushed, and passed through a 120-150 mesh sieve to obtain the finished birch tea product.

[0008] Optionally, in step S1, the collected tender shoots must be plump and free from pests and diseases, and the outer layer of the phloem must be removed, leaving only the inner phloem tissue.

[0009] Optionally, in step S2, the ultrasonic cleaner uses a multi-frequency ultrasonic generator to maintain a stable water temperature of 4-6℃ during the cleaning process, and temperature control is achieved through an external constant temperature cooling device.

[0010] Optionally, in step S3, the drying time, temperature, and vacuum parameters of the three stages of segmented gradient drying correspond sequentially, and the temperature adjustment rate does not exceed 5℃ / min when switching between each stage.

[0011] Optionally, in step S4, the pressurization rate of the ultra-high pressure treatment equipment is 50 MPa / min, and the depressurization rate is 30 MPa / min, to ensure that the raw material cells are uniformly broken under low temperature and high pressure.

[0012] Optionally, in step S5, the method of adding the complex enzyme is as follows: Dissolve the compound enzyme in a small amount of deionized water at 40°C to prepare an enzyme solution; slowly add it to the mixture of birch powder and deionized water while stirring.

[0013] Optionally, in step S6, the fermentation strain needs to be activated before inoculation, specifically as follows: The cryopreserved bacterial strain was inoculated into MRS liquid medium and cultured at 37°C for 18 hours. The culture was passaged twice, and the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation, washed twice with sterile physiological saline, and adjusted to the required concentration.

[0014] Optionally, in step S7, the separation conditions for supercritical CO2 extraction are: The primary separation pressure is 8-10 MPa, and the temperature is 30-35℃. The secondary separation pressure is 5-6 MPa and the temperature is 25-30℃. The extract is collected from the primary separator.

[0015] Optionally, in step S8, the microwave vacuum dryer adopts a pulsed microwave output mode, operates for 5 minutes, pauses for 1 minute, and repeats this cycle until the desired moisture content is reached.

[0016] This invention provides a novel method for preparing birch tea, which has the following beneficial effects: This novel birch tea preparation method employs a series of advanced processes, including segmented gradient drying, ultra-high pressure low-temperature cell disruption, and supercritical CO2 extraction, which work synergistically to minimize the damage and loss of active ingredients. Specifically, the ultra-high pressure low-temperature cell disruption technology breaks down the cell walls of the raw materials under low-temperature conditions using high pressure, avoiding the impact of high temperatures on heat-sensitive components and increasing the dissolution rate of active ingredients by more than 40%. Supercritical CO2 extraction selectively extracts fat-soluble active ingredients, complementing water-soluble components and significantly enhancing the product's nutritional value. Secondly, this invention effectively improves the drinking taste of birch tea. Through the organic combination of compound enzymatic hydrolysis and low-temperature fermentation, the cellulase and pectinase in the compound enzymes can decompose the cellulose and pectin in the raw materials, reducing the crude fiber content. The protease can decompose some proteins into small molecule peptides and amino acids, improving the taste. The mixed fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast can not only further decompose bitter substances, but also produce flavor substances such as organic acids and alcohols, giving the product a mellow and smooth taste and a unique aroma. Meanwhile, the segmented gradient drying of this invention ensures drying efficiency while avoiding local overheating by precisely controlling the changes in temperature and vacuum. Microwave vacuum drying significantly shortens drying time and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the equipment used in the entire process is commonly used in the food industry, making it easy to automate. The birch tea prepared from this process has superior health benefits. Due to the effective preservation of various active ingredients, the probiotic metabolites produced during fermentation work synergistically with the active ingredients of birch itself, enhancing the product's immune-regulating function. Long-term consumption has a positive effect on human health. Detailed Implementation
