Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural product processing, and particularly relates to a reprocessing method for improving the quality of oolong tea by-products. Background Art

[0002] As a specialty tea in my country, oolong tea is deeply loved by consumers for its rich floral and fruity aroma and mellow and sweet flavor. However, in the process of oolong tea processing, loose and thick tea flakes, tea stems and other by-products are inevitably produced, collectively referred to as "yellow flakes". According to surveys, the output of oolong tea raw tea has exceeded 270,000 tons in the past five years, of which "yellow flakes" account for about 20% to 30% of the total raw tea. Oolong tea "yellow flakes" are usually sold in bulk at low prices or used as fertilizer to cover the rows of tea trees due to their poor appearance and proportion of internal substances, poor taste and aroma. The utilization rate is low, which is a great waste of oolong tea resources. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the quality of oolong tea "yellow flakes", enhance the value of oolong tea "yellow flakes", and make it a marketable beverage to meet the diversified needs of consumers.

[0003] In order to improve the utilization rate of oolong tea by-products, the present invention studies and designs a reprocessing method for improving the quality of oolong tea by-products. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reprocessing method for improving the quality of oolong tea byproducts. The present invention uses oolong tea byproducts as raw materials to reprocess oolong tea byproducts, including steam fumigation, rolling, and drying steps.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A reprocessing method for improving the quality of oolong tea by-products comprises the steps of steam fumigation, rolling and drying.

[0006] A reprocessing method for improving the quality of oolong tea by-products comprises the following specific steps: (1) Steam fumigation: The loose and coarse tea leaves and tea stem byproducts selected from the raw oolong tea, collectively referred to as "yellow leaves", are fumigated under high-pressure steam of 0.3-0.4 Pa for 5-7 minutes; (2) Kneading: Place the “yellow sheet” treated in step (1) in a medium-sized kneading machine and knead it for 10-12 minutes in a light-heavy-light pressure mode; (3) Standing to set: Place the "yellow flakes" treated in step (2) in a wrapping towel, lift the four corners of the cloth towel to form a tea bag, turn it over and place it on another tea towel, cover it with a pad, grab the four corners of the other tea towel and place it on a speed packaging machine for packaging. After 30 to 60 seconds, the tea bag will be in a pumpkin shape. Let it stand for 15 to 20 minutes; (4) Drying: The "yellow flakes" treated in step (3) are placed in a roaster and roasted twice. The first roasting temperature is 120-125°C and lasts for 45-60 min. The second roasting temperature is 120-125°C and roasted until the moisture content of the tea leaves reaches 4%-6%. Reprocessed oolong tea "yellow flakes" are obtained.

[0007] Preferably, the high-pressure steam fumigation pressure in step (1) is 0.3 Pa.

After 30 to 60 seconds, the tea bag will be in a pumpkin shape. Let it stand for 15 minutes; (4) Drying: Place the "yellow flakes" after step (3) in a roaster and roast them twice. The first roasting temperature is 120°C and lasts for 45 min. The second roasting temperature is 120°C and roasted until the moisture content of the tea leaves reaches 5%. Reprocessed oolong tea "yellow flakes" are obtained.

[0022] The sensory evaluation comparison of Huang Guanyin "Yellow Slices" after primary processing and reprocessing is shown in Table 1.

[0023] Table 1. Comparison of sensory evaluation of Huang Guanyin “Yellow Slices” after primary processing and reprocessing It can be seen from Table 1 above that the quality (appearance and internal quality) of the "yellow slices" of Huang Guanyin prepared by the reprocessing process in the embodiment of the present invention is better than that of the primary Huang Guanyin "yellow slices", the strips are tighter, the floral and fruity aroma is obvious, and the taste is especially mellower and more astringent than the primary "yellow slices".

[0024] Non-volatile compound detection: Sample preparation: Accurately weigh an appropriate amount of sample into a 2 mL centrifuge tube, add 600 µL methanol containing 2-chloro-L-phenylalanine (4 ppm), vortex for 30 s; add steel beads, put into a tissue grinder, grind at 55 Hz for 60 s; ultrasonicate at room temperature for 15 min; centrifuge at 12000 rpm at 4 ℃ for 10 min, take the supernatant and filter it through a 0.22 μm membrane, add the filtrate to the detection bottle for LC-MS detection.

[0025] Chromatographic conditions: Thermo Vanquish (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) ultra-high performance liquid chromatography system, using an ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 (2.1×100 mm, 1.8 µm) (Waters, Milford, MA, USA) column, a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min, a column temperature of 40 °C, and an injection volume of 2 μL. In positive ion mode, the mobile phases were 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (B2) and 0.1% formic acid in water (A2), and the gradient elution program was: 0-1 min, 8% B2; 1-8 min, 8%-98% B2; 8-10 min, 98% B2; 10-10.1 min, 98%-8% B2; 10.1-12 min, 8% B2. In negative ion mode, the mobile phase was acetonitrile (B3) and 5 mM ammonium formate water (A3), and the gradient elution program was: 0-1 min, 8% B3; 1-8 min, 8%-98% B3; 8-10 min, 98% B3; 10-10.1 min, 98%-8% B3; 10.1-12 min, 8% B3. Mass spectrometry conditions: Thermo Q Exactive Focus mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), electrospray ion source (ESI), data acquisition in positive and negative ion modes. The positive ion spray voltage was 3.50 kV, the negative ion spray voltage was -2.50 kV, the sheath gas was 40 arb, and the auxiliary gas was 10 arb. The capillary temperature was 325 °C, the primary full scan was performed at a resolution of 70000, the primary ion scan range was 100-1000 m / z, and HCD was used for secondary fragmentation, the collision energy was 30 eV, the secondary resolution was 17500, the first 3 ions of the acquisition signal were fragmented, and dynamic exclusion was used to remove unnecessary MS / MS information.

[0026] After identification and analysis, non-volatile substances with VIP>1, P<0.05 and fold change ≥2 or ≤0.5 were screened as characteristic differential metabolites between the reprocessed and primary Huang Guanyin "Yellow Tablets". A total of 55 differential metabolites were identified, which can be divided into different categories, mainly including 8 amino acids and their derivatives, 9 flavonoids, 6 organic acids and their derivatives, 7 terpenes, 4 phenols, 4 oxygen-containing organic compounds, 3 phenolic acids, 4 lipids and lipid molecules, and 4 alkaloids. Among them, the total content of amino acids and their derivatives and flavonoids accounted for the highest proportion and increased significantly after reprocessing. Most amino acids have a fresh taste, and flavonoids have a certain astringency. As the main secondary metabolites in tea, these substances are closely related to the quality of tea, forming a rich taste and unique flavor of tea. This may be the main reason for the significant improvement of the thickness and astringency of the taste of the reprocessed Huang Guanyin "Yellow Tablets" and the improvement of the brewing resistance. The total content of organic acids and their derivatives was significantly reduced. These substances may be involved in the formation and transformation of tea aroma. Figure 2 .

[0027] Volatile compound detection: Extraction of aroma components: Take out the samples from the -80 ℃ refrigerator and grind them with liquid nitrogen. Vortex mix them evenly. Weigh 100 mg of each sample into a headspace bottle and add 10 μL (10 μg / mL) of internal standard solution. Then, oscillate and balance for 5 min at 75 ℃. Insert the 50 / 30 μm DVB / CWR / PDMS extraction head into the sample headspace bottle. Perform headspace extraction for 45 min. Decompose at 250 ℃ for 5 min. Then perform GC-MS separation and identification.
