Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of health food, and particularly relates to a thin-shell walnut pith wood tranquilizing tea bag and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of society and the ever-accelerating pace of life, people are under increasing pressure in work, study and life, which leads to a sub-healthy state, which is specifically manifested as insomnia, dreaminess, forgetfulness, and susceptibility to illness. Although people in sub-health have no obvious diseases, their mental and physical adaptability will decline. If they remain in this state, they are very likely to suffer from physical and mental diseases. Among them, the most troubling symptom is insomnia. Although insomnia is not a critical disease, it hinders people's normal life, work and health, and brings serious mental and physical burdens to people.

[0003] To solve the problem of insomnia, there are many drugs and diets currently in use. However, long-term use of drugs will lead to drug resistance, and allergic reactions may also occur in different individuals. Dietary products need to be consumed for a long time and are slow to take effect.

[0004] At present, the drugs used to treat insomnia in clinical practice mainly include the following categories: (1) Barbiturates: Typical representatives include phenobarbital and amobarbital. This type of drug has been proven to act mainly on the GABAergic system, affecting the conduction of related ion channels by changing the conformation of its receptors, thereby causing neural inhibition. Due to its low safety (the therapeutic and lethal doses are close) and many adverse reactions, it has been basically eliminated in clinical practice; (2) Benzodiazepines: Typical representatives include diazepam and estazolam. It is one of the most widely used hypnotic drugs. It works by enhancing the activity of related receptors in the GABA system. Unlike the mechanism of action of barbiturates, this type of drug increases the opening frequency of related ion channels rather than the opening time. In addition, this type of drug has a wider safety range, but long-term use may cause adverse reactions such as drug resistance, movement disorders, and cognitive impairment; (3) Non-benzodiazepines: Typical representatives include zolpidem and dexmedetomidine. They are one of the most effective drugs for the short-term treatment of insomnia, so they are widely used, but they still cause some adverse reactions, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating; (4) Melatonin, also known as melatonin, is an indole hormone secreted by the pineal gland of mammals. It can specifically act on the corresponding receptors and participate in regulating the sleep-wake rhythm. It has no obvious addiction, but it also has some side effects, such as inhibiting reproductive function. In summary, people tend to seek natural medicines to treat or relieve insomnia symptoms because of their obvious efficacy, small toxicity and side effects, and no addiction.

[0005] Calming diets mainly work through the nutrients in food. Compared with drugs, their calming effects such as regulating the nervous system and improving sleep are usually slow, and may not work quickly for severe insomnia, anxiety and other problems. Some calming diets may focus too much on calming ingredients and ignore the intake of other nutrients. Eating only such diets for a long time may lead to nutritional imbalance.

[0006] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for nut-based nutritional foods has gradually increased. The effects of thin-shell pecan kernels in preventing aging, maintaining the stomach and intestines, and preventing vascular diseases have also been discovered, so pecan kernels have become a popular food recently. 40-50% of the components of thin-shell pecans are composed of by-products such as walnut shells and pith wood. Therefore, a large amount of by-products have great utilization prospects. However, so far, the utilization of pecans is still mainly in the fruit part, and there is little research on the utilization of other parts. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention discloses a thin-shell pecan heartwood tranquilizing tea bag and a preparation method thereof, which is prepared by combining thin-shell pecan heartwood, sour jujube kernels, red dates and liquorice as raw materials. The tranquilizing tea bag of the present invention can improve sleep quality in a very short time, regulate the body of the brain, make it in a balanced state, and is beneficial to improve sleep quality for insomniacs of different degrees.

[0008] The present invention develops the thin-shell pecan heartwood and can convert the part that might have been discarded into high-value products, which can not only expand the industrial chain and improve the overall economic benefits of the thin-shell pecan industry, but also reduce its emission and accumulation as waste, reduce the pressure on the environment, be beneficial to ecological balance, improve the utilization efficiency of resources, and promote the recycling of resources.

[0009] After a large number of experimental screenings, the present invention selects natural, mild and uniquely calming medicinal and edible raw materials, such as fenxin wood, jujube seeds, red dates, etc. These ingredients can not only calm the mind and soothe the nerves, but also regulate the body and nourish gently. The present invention breaks through the traditional tea formula, does not rely on caffeine, soothes the nerves with the power of natural herbs, and has a significant sleep-aiding effect. In-depth research on the characteristics of each raw material, accurately adjust the ratio of fenxin wood, jujube seeds, red dates and licorice, and through scientific proportions, let a variety of raw materials work synergistically to achieve a calming effect of 1+1>2, and comprehensively improve sleep quality.

[0010] In addition, it is individually packaged and easy to carry. Whether in the office, on a business trip or traveling, you can enjoy a cup of soothing tea anytime and anywhere. This product focuses on the blending of taste: by adding red dates and licorice, the taste of the heartwood is warm and pleasant, with both herbal fragrance and no bitter taste, allowing users to achieve the purpose of soothing the mind while enjoying the delicious taste.

[0011] Specifically, the thin-shell pecan pith wood calming tea bag of the present invention comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 3 parts of thin-shell pecan pith wood, 4 parts of red dates, 1.5 parts of sour jujube kernels, and 2 parts of liquorice.

[0012] The invention also discloses a method for preparing a thin-shell walnut heartwood tranquilizing tea bag, which comprises the following steps: (1) Select the thin-shelled pecan pith wood, dry it, and crush it into 20 meshes. Dry the red dates, sour jujube kernels, and licorice to constant weight; (2) Weigh 3 parts of processed pith wood, 4 parts of red dates, 1.5 parts of sour jujube kernels and 2 parts of liquorice, mix well and pack into bags.

[0013] Furthermore, the drying method in step (1) is air drying at 70° C. for 2-3 hours.

[0014] Further, nylon material is selected as the packaging material of the teabag.

[0015] The present invention adopts fenxin wood, and adds sour jujube seeds, licorice tablets and red dates to improve the calming effect of the product and improve its flavor. The present invention adopts a variety of calming herbal plants, such as fenxin wood, sour jujube seeds, etc. The effects of different ingredients are synergistic, which play a role in regulating nerves, soothing emotions, nourishing the heart and liver, etc., and can more comprehensively and effectively improve sleep quality and relieve anxiety and tension. In addition, the raw materials are taken from natural plants, with high safety. Compared with some sleeping pills, it is less irritating to the body, and long-term drinking is not easy to cause drug dependence and obvious side effects. The bitter taste of fenxin wood can also be improved by adding red dates and licorice, making the product more pleasant. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below using specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following description. Example 1

[0017] A method for preparing a thin-shell walnut heartwood tranquilizing tea bag comprises the following steps: (1) Select the wood, air dry for 2 hours, crush to 20 mesh, and dry the red dates, sour jujube kernels, and licorice to constant weight; Raw material pretreatment: Select the thin-shell pecan pith wood to remove impurities, moldy pith wood, etc.

[0018] (2) Weigh 3 parts of processed pith wood, 4 parts of red dates, 1.5 parts of sour jujube kernels and 2 parts of liquorice, mix well and pack into bags. Example 2

[0019] The teabags were prepared by using the same formula and steps as in Example 1, and the effects of natural drying, forced air drying, and microwave drying on the quality of the pith wood were compared. The pith wood was dried until its water activity reached about 7, using the drying methods shown in Table 1 below: Table 1

[0020] The test shows that: as shown in Table 1, natural drying has low cost, but long drying time, high requirements on weather and floor space, and is not conducive to large-scale production; microwave drying has high efficiency and short drying time, but high requirements on equipment for large output and high cost; therefore, the present invention uses blast drying with a drying time of 2-3h and relatively low cost. Example 3

[0021] The same steps as in Example 1 were used to prepare tea bags, and the effects of different raw material ratios (unit: parts by weight) on the quality of the tea bags were determined.

[0022] (1) Single factor test: 3 parts of Pyrus chinensis, 1 part of Solanum jujuba seeds, 2 parts of Licorice tablets were fixed, and 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 parts of red dates were measured respectively. The results of the comprehensive analysis of the total flavonoids content in the extract and the sensory evaluation of the tea bag were analyzed. When the red dates were 4 parts, the comprehensive score was the highest.

[0023] When 3 parts of fixed pith wood, 4 parts of red dates, 2 parts of licorice tablets, and 0.5 parts, 1 part, 1.5 parts, 2 parts, and 3 parts of sour jujube kernel were measured respectively, the content of total flavonoids in the comprehensive extract and the results of sensory evaluation of tea bags were analyzed. When the sour jujube kernel was at 1.5 parts, the comprehensive score was the highest.

[0024] When 3 parts of fixed wood, 1 part of sour jujube kernel, 4 parts of red dates, and 0.5 parts, 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, and 4 parts of licorice tablets were measured respectively, the content of total flavonoids in the extract and the results of sensory evaluation of tea bags were analyzed comprehensively. When the licorice was in 2 parts, the comprehensive score was the highest.

[0025] (2) Response surface test: Based on the single factor test and the obtained data, a response surface analysis test was conducted. The Box-Behnken experimental design was performed using Design Expert 8.0.6 software (as shown in Table 2) to further optimize the formulation process and design the best product formula.

[0026] Table 2 Factors and levels of response surface experiment

[0027] It can be seen from the experimental results of the response surface (Table 3 and Table 4) that the results of the formulation design experiment were extremely significant as a whole. A, C, AB, AC, BC, A2, B2, and C2 all showed extremely significant levels for sensory evaluation (P<0.01). The design model determination coefficient R2 was 0.9613, indicating that the choice of this model was reasonable. The influence of single factors on sensory evaluation was as follows: the amount of red dates added A> the amount of licorice added B> the amount of jujube kernel added C.

[0028] Table 3 Response surface experimental design and results

[0029] Table 4 Significance test and results of regression equation coefficients

[0030] Note: “**” indicates extremely significant (P<0.01), and “*” indicates significant (P<0.05).

[0031] The Design Expert 8.0.6 software was used to further optimize the blending, and the best combination of the test was obtained: 4.17 parts of red dates, 1.47 parts of sour jujube kernels, and 2.09 parts of licorice. Under this condition, the model predicted the maximum value of the sensory evaluation score to be 83.0812. In terms of the convenience of actual operation and the specific conditions of the equipment, the optimal blending process parameters were revised to: 4 parts of red dates, 1.5 parts of sour jujube kernels, and 2 parts of licorice. Three confirmation tests were carried out under this condition.

[0032] Table 5 Verification test

[0033] The average value of the actual value of blending under the corrected conditions was 82.67, and the error rate between the actual value and the predicted value was 0.499%<1%, indicating that the regression model had a good fit, further verifying the reliability of the optimal blending process parameters and mathematical regression model obtained by response surface optimization. Therefore, it is feasible to optimize the blending process conditions of split wood by response surface method. Example 4

[0034] The tea bag was prepared using the same formula and steps as in Example 1, and the effects of different crushing levels of Hickory Nuts were determined.

[0035] The dried thin-shell pecan pith wood was crushed by a grinder and passed through 2, 8, 20, 40 and 60 mesh sieves respectively. The content of water extract in pith wood tea bags at different crushing meshes was determined, the relationship between the water extract content of pith wood and different crushing meshes was studied, and the optimal crushing mesh was selected.

[0036] From the experimental results in Table 6, it can be seen that as the size of the crushing increases, the extract content increases first and then decreases. It is speculated that the reason may be that the powder is too fine, the powder is easy to aggregate, and becomes a paste-like fluid, which is not conducive to the contact between the split wood and water. Instead, the contact area is reduced, the soaking effect is not good, and the water extract is reduced; and the split wood particles are too small to leak out of the bagged material, making it difficult to make products. Therefore, 20 mesh is selected as the best crushing mesh.

[0037] Table 6

[0038] Sensory evaluation: The sensory evaluation in the present invention adopts the scoring method and weighted percentage method for password evaluation. The scoring is performed with reference to the scoring weights in GB / T 23779-2009 Tea Sensory Evaluation Method. The specific comments are changed according to the unique properties of the heartwood. The scoring weights of each factor are: aroma 30%, soup color 30%, and taste 40%.

[0039] Place the thin-shell pecan teabag in a tea evaluation cup, add 180ml boiling water, soak for 15 minutes, pour the tea soup into the tea evaluation bowl, select 20 trained personnel to conduct sensory evaluation according to Table 7, and evaluate the appearance, soup color, aroma, and taste in turn. Finally, place the tea bag in the cup in the leaf bottom tray and inspect the leaf bottom.

[0040] Table 7 Scoring Standards for Thin-shell Pecan Heartwood Teabags

[0041] The evaluation results of 20 trainees are shown in Table 8. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the reasonable blending of the amounts of pith wood, red dates, jujube kernels, and licorice can effectively improve the flavor of the product.

[0042] Table 8 Scoring criteria for thin-shell pecan wood teabags

[0043] Example 5 The invention selects and compares the leaching rate, permeability and the like of three kinds of bagging materials (corn fiber, nylon and non-woven fabric) through experiments, and determines the most suitable packaging material for teabags made of fennel.

[0044] The non-woven fabric material is breathable and waterproof, and has a small contact area with water. It is difficult for external water to enter the non-woven fabric and merge with the wood powder, thereby preventing the effective ingredients from migrating out of the bag. Put the bagged materials into the cup at the same time. When they are first put in, the non-woven bag will float on the water surface and slowly soak into the water, while the corn fiber and nylon tea bags will soak into the water and start to dissolve the effective ingredients.

[0045] During the soaking process, it can be clearly seen that the leaching rate of the nylon bag is significantly higher than that of the non-woven bag and corn fiber bag. Within 2 to 3 minutes, the color of the nylon bag tea solution turns red, followed by the color of the corn fiber bag, and the non-woven bag is the slowest. During the soaking process, the contents of the corn fiber bag overflowed significantly.

[0046] After soaking for 15 minutes, the water extract content of three types of tea bags were tested and the results were as follows. The nylon bag had the highest water extract content, with an extraction rate of 25.3% and the best packaging effect. The non-woven fabric had the lowest extraction rate of 14.87%. In summary, nylon material was selected as the packaging material for tea bags.
