Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of canned processing of tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules, and specifically to a preparation process for canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules. Background Art

[0002] The development of canned red grapefruit for tea drinking helps to realize the subcontracting processing of canned grapefruit granules, is conducive to improving the flavor and quality of grapefruit granules, and brings positive feedback to the final presentation of the product. However, the elimination of bitter substances is an important problem in the development technology of canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules. Among them, limonin is one of the bitter components in grapefruit. Limonin mainly exists in the pulp of grapefruit, especially in the part close to the peel. When grapefruit is eaten, limonin will react with the enzymes in saliva to produce bitterness.

[0003] Therefore, the technology for removing limonin is a key technical problem that needs to be solved in the development process of canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granule products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a preparation process for canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules, which uses a newly developed magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymer to achieve the technical purpose of removing limonin from canned grapefruit granules.

[0005] A preparation process for canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Perform blanching treatment on the cleaned grapefruit fruits.

[0007] Step 2: Peel and segment the blanched grapefruit fruits to obtain grapefruit segments.

[0008] Step 3: Add the grapefruit segments to a pectinase solution for enzymatic hydrolysis treatment. After the enzymatic hydrolysis ends, rinse with running water to obtain de-membraned grapefruit segments.

[0009] Step 4: Perform hot water blanching on the de-membraned grapefruit segments to dissolve the limonin in the de-membraned grapefruit segments, and simultaneously use the magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymer to remove the dissolved limonin in the de-membraned grapefruit segments to obtain bitter-free and de-membraned grapefruit segments.

[0010] Step 5: Arrange the bitter-free and de-membraned grapefruit segments and pack them into glass jars. Sterilize the glass jars by boiling in water, inject sugar solution while it is hot, exhaust air, seal the jars, sterilize by boiling in water, and cool to room temperature to obtain canned tea-drinking bitter-free grapefruit granules.

[0011] Preferably, the grapefruit fruits are blanched at a temperature of 90-100°C for 50-60 s.

[0013] Preferably, the de - membraned pomelo segments are blanched in hot water at a temperature of 40 - 55 °C, and the hot water blanching time is controlled ≤ 60 s.

[0014] Preferably, the preparation method of the magnetic surface - molecularly imprinted polymer is as follows: Using the surface - imprinting method, with a tetracarboxy vinyl monomer as the functional monomer and limonin as the template molecule, the template molecule and the functional monomer are first pre - polymerized through hydrogen - bond interaction, and then under the combined action of an initiator, a cross - linker, and a catalyst, a polymerization reaction is carried out on the surface of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 particles to obtain polymer particles, and finally the template molecule is removed with an eluent to obtain the magnetic surface - molecularly imprinted polymer.
