Example Embodiment

[0013] Example 1

[0014] Take 150g of Longjing tea powder, soak it in 1800ml deionized water at room temperature for 2h, then heat and boil for 1h, filter to obtain the first extract, then add 1800ml deionized water to the tea residue, repeat the first extraction process , Filter to get the second extract. The two extracts are combined to obtain a tea extract.

[0015] Adjust the pH value of the tea extract to 5.0, and pass it through the cation exchange resin column with a flow rate of 5.0 ml / min. After loading the sample, rinse the cation exchange resin column with 500 ml of deionized water to remove impurities. After cleaning, the theanine is eluted with ammonia water with a concentration of 5% at a flow rate of 5 ml / min. After a certain period of time, the theanine was eluted completely by the ninhydrin color method. After the elution is complete, 1500ml of eluate is obtained. The eluate was evaporated to dryness in a water bath at a vacuum of 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 70°...

[0020] Take 150g of tea tree old leaves, soak them in 1800ml deionized water at room temperature for 2h, then heat and boil for 1h, take the first extract, then add 1800ml deionized water to the tea dregs, repeat the first extraction process , Take the second leaching solution. The two extracts are combined to obtain a tea extract.

[0021] Adjust the pH value of the tea extract to 5.5, and pass it through the cation exchange resin column with a flow rate of 3.0 ml / min. After loading the sample, rinse the cation exchange resin column with 500 ml of deionized water to remove impurities. After cleaning, the theanine is eluted with ammonia water with a volume concentration of 10% at a flow rate of 3.0 ml / min. After a certain period of time, the theanine was eluted completely by the ninhydrin color method. After the elution is complete, 1400ml of eluate is obtained. The eluate was put on a water bath at 70°C and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure at a vacu...

Abstract

The process of extracting theanine from tea includes the following steps: soaking tea with deionized water to obtain extracted solution; exchange absorbing of the extracted solution with cationic resin and elution with ammonia water to obtain theanine eluate; and decompression evaporating theanine eluate to obtain coarse theanine product. The present invention can utilize various kinds of tea material in extracting theanine, and has simple operation, low cost and no environmental pollution. The coarse theanine product is suitable for further processing and has purity of 10-30 %.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting theanine from tea leaves. Background technique [0002] Amino acid in tea is an important component of its quality. The system is named N-ethyl-γ-L-glutamine (N-ethyl-γ-L-glatamine). Theanine is an effective flavoring substance in green tea. The content of theanine directly determines the quality of tea: no matter what kind of tea, theanine accounts for more than 50% of the free amino acids in tea, and the content of theanine in dry tea is about 1%-2%. Theanine is the ethylamine inducer of glutamic acid. It is synthesized from glutamic acid and ethylamine in the roots of tea trees, transported to the leaves for storage through the trunk, and converted into catechins under sunlight. In 1950, Mr. Shuto extracted and refined theanine from tea leaves for the first time, and determined its chemical structure (Zhao Danchao Asahi's domestic and foreign research status of theanine Food Science 2002.23 (5) 145...
