Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing, in particular to a preparation process of cinnamon-flavored juice with full and typical flavor and no spicy or irritating taste. Background Art

[0002] Cinnamon is a natural plant spice with a special flavor and multiple functional activities. It is widely used in food, daily necessities and blended alcoholic beverages. There are also many types of food and blended alcoholic beverages using cinnamon as raw materials. Adding cinnamon juice to the wine can not only improve the taste of the wine and cover up the bad taste of the wine, but also has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and dredge menstruation. Although the aroma of cinnamon is pleasant, the unpurified cinnamon juice has a strong spicy and astringent taste, and the blended wine has a poor taste. The acceptance of the public is low, which affects its application in wine flavoring.

[0003] At present, cinnamon juice is mainly extracted and purified by distillation, and a small amount is purified by reagent extraction or supercritical extraction and separation. There are mainly the following problems:

[0004] 1. The distillation separation and purification method results in a large loss of components. Although the cinnamon oil collected by distillation purification has fewer impurities, it has a large loss of components. Other components in cinnamon, such as polysaccharides, phenols, and alcohols, cannot be separated and collected.

[0005] 2. The hot reflux method is used to extract the fragrant juice. Although the extraction rate of the ingredients is high, the bitterness and spiciness in the cinnamon juice are extracted together, and the taste of the extracted fragrant juice is poor.

[0006] 3. The reagent extraction method for separating the fragrant juice has poor safety and there is a problem of reagent residue.

[0007] 4. Supercritical extraction and separation of aromatic juice has low yield and high cost.

[0008] Based on this, how to optimize the extraction and purification process of cinnamon juice to maximize the extraction of cinnamon medicinal aroma components and effective ingredients, while removing the bitter impurities that affect the taste, improving the taste of cinnamon juice, and enhancing its application value has become one of the technical problems that need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of this, the present invention provides a preparation process of cinnamon-flavored juice with full and typical flavor and no spicy and irritating taste.

[0010] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: The present invention provides a preparation process of cinnamon juice, which optimizes the existing cinnamon juice extraction and purification process, extracts the aroma components and effective ingredients of cinnamon medicinal materials to the maximum extent, and removes the bitter impurities that affect the taste, thereby improving the taste of cinnamon juice and enhancing its application value. It includes the following steps:

[0011] (1) Evenly mixing the crushed cinnamon bark with dried orange peel, jujube, lemon and mint to obtain an extracted medicinal material;

[0012] (2) baking the extracted medicinal materials;

[0013] (3) performing ultrasonic extraction of the roasted extracted medicinal material at room temperature using an ethanol solution to obtain an extract;

[0014] (4) subjecting the obtained extract to vacuum distillation, collecting the distillate to obtain cinnamon-flavored juice.

[0015] Before extraction, cinnamon is roasted to remove the bitterness in the medicinal material, increase the solvent permeability of the medicinal material, and facilitate the dissolution of the fragrant juice.

[0016] In some embodiments, the amount of tangerine peel, jujube, lemon, and mint is 0.1 wt %-5 wt % of cinnamon respectively.

[0017] Before baking, add an appropriate amount of tangerine peel, lemon, mint, and jujube mixed into the extracted medicinal materials, which helps to remove the spicy taste in the medicinal materials and increase the sweetness.

[0018] In some embodiments, in step (2), the baking temperature is 40-180° C., and the baking time is 5-30 min.

[0019] In some embodiments, in step (3), the ethanol solution used for extraction is 5-10 times the amount of the extracted medicinal material, and the concentration of the ethanol solution is 30%-70%.

[0020] In some embodiments, in step (3), the extraction is performed twice, and each extraction lasts 10-50 minutes.

[0021] This process uses ultrasonic extraction at room temperature, which is more efficient, lower cost and simpler to operate than traditional hot reflux and distillation extraction processes.

[0022] In some embodiments, the temperature of the reduced pressure distillation is 40-70° C., and the vacuum degree is -0.8 MPa to -1.2 MPa.

[0023] Vacuum distillation is carried out at a lower temperature, and the collected distillate is clear and transparent, with a typical cinnamon aroma, a mellow and sweet taste, and no spicy taste. In addition, the extraction rate of cinnamaldehyde in the cinnamon-flavored juice extracted by this process is higher, and the blended wine has good clarity and a typical and complete cinnamon aroma.

[0024] The second aspect of the present invention further provides a cinnamon flavored juice, which is prepared by using the above-mentioned preparation process.

[0025] The third aspect of the present invention also provides a use of the cinnamon flavored juice in flavoring wine.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The invention provides an extraction process for cinnamon flavored juice, which can improve the flavor of the cinnamon flavored juice and greatly reduce the bitterness and spiciness thereof; at the same time, in the cinnamon flavored juice extracted by the extraction process, the content of cinnamaldehyde is higher and the extraction rate is also improved; after the obtained cinnamon flavored juice is used for wine blending, the appearance and stability of the wine can be greatly improved, and the cinnamon flavored juice has good application prospects.
