Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of selenium-enriched tea leaves, and in particular to a drying process optimization method for selenium-enriched tea leaves. Background Art
[0002] Drying of selenium-enriched tea is one of the key steps in the production process, which directly affects the quality, taste and retention of selenium in tea. The purpose of drying is to remove moisture from tea leaves to reduce the moisture content of tea leaves to a safe range (generally below 5%) while maintaining the color, aroma, taste and selenium-enriched characteristics of tea leaves.
[0003] At present, the drying of selenium-rich tea is achieved through electric heating rotary drying equipment, such as a selenium-rich tea efficient drying device with publication number CN218955359 U, including a base and a collection box, the surface of the base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box, the surface of the base is fixedly connected to the end of the vertical plate, the outer wall of the vertical plate at the right end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and the outer wall of the vertical plate at the right end is provided with a drying device. The motor in the drying device drives the connecting rod to rotate, the connecting rod drives the first toothed belt pulley to rotate, the first toothed belt pulley drives the toothed belt to rotate, the toothed belt drives the second toothed belt pulley to rotate, and the second toothed belt pulley drives the connecting column at the right end to rotate, and the selenium-rich tea is stirred and dried, and the selenium-rich tea will not pile up, the heat is even, the drying time is shortened, and the efficiency of drying the selenium-rich tea will not be affected.
[0004] Then, drying tea leaves by electric rotary drying cannot accurately control the drying temperature of the tea leaves. If the temperature is too high during the drying process, the nutritional components of the tea leaves will be destroyed, especially the loss of selenium and other beneficial ingredients, thus affecting the health effects of the tea leaves. If the temperature is too low, the drying may not be thorough, and the residual moisture may cause the tea leaves to mold or deteriorate easily. At the same time, this type of rotary drying equipment is generally a closed structure, relying on an exhaust structure to remove moisture generated by heating. However, after the exhaust structure extracts, it is impossible to know the humidity inside the drying equipment. Excessive environmental humidity leads to low drying efficiency and increases the risk of mold growth. If the humidity is too low, the tea leaves will become brittle and hard, affecting the taste.
