Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of berry tea processing, and in particular to a production process of composite berry tea. Background Art

[0002] Berry tea, also known as rattan tea, sweet tea, and white tea, is a unique substitute tea for food and medicine in my country. It is made from the young stems and leaves of the genus Agaricus of the family Vitaceae. The surface is covered with white frost, and it tastes slightly bitter at first, but has a distinct sweet aftertaste. It is a common drink for ethnic minorities such as the Tujia, Miao, and Yao.

[0003] Berry tea has the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, regulating immunity, anti-tumor, improving memory, and improving sleep. It is a health-care tea with significant effects. However, due to the relatively strong overall flavor of berry tea, it is not as refreshing as green tea, nor as heavy as black tea, and is accompanied by a special green smell. The overall taste and mouthfeel are relatively peculiar, and the palatability is poor for most people, which limits its market growth.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to eliminate the special green smell of berry tea, it often undergoes multiple deep processing. However, deep processing will also cause the loss of nutrients in the berry tea and reduce the sweet flavor of the berry tea to a certain extent. Therefore, how to ensure the health function of berry tea while further improving the flavor and taste of berry tea on this basis is the main research direction of its processing technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a production process for a composite berry tea, which effectively ensures the nutritional components of the berry tea, while improving the flavor and taste of the berry tea, thereby comprehensively improving the market value of the berry tea.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A production process of composite berry tea, the production process comprising the following steps: S1. Fixing: Pick fresh young stems and leaves of Ampelopsis glauca, take out some of them and place them in a microwave oven at 100-120℃ for 30-50s, then place them in a fixing machine for fixing until the leaves become soft, and obtain the first fixed leaves for use; the other part is frozen at a temperature of -15℃--18℃ for 1-2h, then taken out and treated at a temperature of 45-60℃ until the water content is 60%-70%, and obtain the second fixed leaves for use; S2, rolling: the first fixed green leaves are placed in a rolling machine for rolling for 1-2 minutes, then the blocks are unblocked and air-dried to obtain the first rolled leaves for use; the second fixed green leaves are gently rolled in a rolling machine for 20-30 minutes, then sealed and left to stand for 3-5 hours to obtain the second rolled leaves for use; S3, fermentation: placing the second rolled leaves in a fermentation machine for fermentation, filling with nitrogen to increase the pressure to 0.4-0.6MPa after the fermentation is completed, and standing for 30-40 minutes to obtain the fermented leaves for use; S4, compounding: the fermented leaves and the first rolled leaves are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 1:3-5, and then spread evenly, and then treated with ultraviolet irradiation for 30-40 minutes to obtain compound leaves for use; S5, baking: placing the composite leaves in an oven and baking at 110-120° C., then taking them out to obtain baked leaves for later use; S6. Flavor enhancement: Place the roasted leaves in a sealed oven, replace the air in the oven with nitrogen, then adjust the temperature at 40-50°C, 70-80°C, and 30-40°C in sequence for 30-40 minutes each to obtain a composite berry tea.

[0007] Preferably, in the step S1, the air outlet temperature during the fixing process in the fixing machine is 150-160° C., and the fixing time is 3-5 min.

[0008] Preferably, the temperature of the first withering leaf rolling treatment in step S2 is 20-25°C.

[0009] Preferably, in step S2, the temperature of the second withered leaves when gently kneading is 30-40°C, and the temperature of the sealed and stationary leaves is 30-40°C.

[0010] Preferably, the fermentation treatment in step S3 is carried out at a temperature of 35-40° C., a humidity of 85%-90%, and a time of 16-20 hours.

[0011] Preferably, the wavelength of ultraviolet irradiation in step S4 is 200-300nm, and the intensity is 80-90μW / cm 2 .

[0012] Preferably, before baking in step S5, the oven is preheated to above 90° C. before the composite leaves are placed in the oven.

[0013] Preferably, the moisture content of the roasted leaves obtained in step S5 is 10%-12%.

[0014] Preferably, the water content of the composite berry tea in step S6 is ≤7%.

[0015] Preferably, the composite berry tea obtained in step S6 needs to be sealed and stored in a dry environment.

[0016] The present invention provides a production process of composite berry tea, which has the following advantages over the prior art: The invention adopts two methods to process the picked young stems and leaves of Agave viticola var. gracile, and then bake to enhance the aroma to obtain a composite berry tea. The stems and leaves are subjected to microwave pretreatment, then withered, and then rolled for a short time, so that the overall flavor of the stems and leaves is relatively refreshing and the nutritional components of the berry tea can be retained to a large extent. The stems and leaves obtained by low-temperature freezing, then thawing, withered, gently rolling, sealing and pressurized fermentation have a mellower overall flavor. The composite flavor of the two is more palatable and can effectively prevent the loss of nutritional components of the berry tea. The subsequent temperature-variable aroma-enhancing treatment under nitrogen protection can effectively remove the green smell of the berry tea, and comprehensively improve the taste and flavor of the berry tea.
