[0122] Test item Experimental group D Control group D1 Control group D2 Control group D3 Extraction rate of theabrownin (%) 78.3% 45.2% 58.1% 52.4% β-glucan concentration (g / L) 1.2 0.5 0.7 0.8 Total polyphenol retention rate (%) 82.1% 65.3% 72.5% 68.9%

[0123] Compound enzymatic hydrolysis significantly improves the dissolution rate of macromolecular substances. The extraction rate of theabrownin increases by 73%, and the concentration of β-glucan increases by 140%.

[0124] In summary, for the instant Pu-erh tea powder with enhanced immunity and its preparation method, the precise ratio of β-glucan, lactoferrin, vitamin D3, and tea polyphenol concentrate is adopted. β-glucan activates macrophages to phagocytize pathogens, lactoferrin inhibits inflammatory reactions, vitamin D3 promotes the maturation of immune cells, and catechins and caffeine in the tea polyphenol concentrate synergistically have antioxidant effects. By mixing and extracting ripe tea and raw tea (mass ratio 2 - 4:1 - 3) and combining stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase and β-glucanase, the extraction rates of theabrownin and β-glucan are significantly improved, providing a material basis for immune regulation.

[0125] Moreover, for the instant Pu-erh tea powder for enhancing immunity and its preparation method, a composite carrier of propylene oxide-modified arabic gum and chitosan is used. Through the emulsification-spray drying process, the active ingredients are encapsulated into microcapsules with a size of 80 - 120 μm. The modified arabic gum forms a hydrophobic barrier, chitosan adsorbs lipophilic components through hydrogen bonding, and β-cyclodextrin entraps free radicals on the surface of the microcapsules. This triple structure effectively protects vitamin D3 and tea polyphenols, increasing the retention rate of vitamin D3 to 89% (only 45% in the conventional process) and reducing the oxidation rate of tea polyphenols to 8%. Meanwhile, the microemulsion dispersion technology enhances the absorption and utilization of vitamin D3 and extends the shelf life of the product, solving the problems in the prior art. On the one hand, the functional design is mostly limited to the traditional effects of Pu-erh tea itself, such as lipid-lowering and stomach protection, lacking the scientific compatibility and synergistic design of targeted functional components (such as β-glucan, lactoferrin, etc.) for improving immunity. On the other hand, the existing products are prepared by conventional drying processes, resulting in the easy oxidation and inactivation of fat-soluble components such as vitamin D3, and the poor stability of active substances such as tea polyphenols during storage, with a short shelf life.

[0126] All relevant modules involved in this system are hardware system modules or functional modules formed by combining computer software programs or protocols in the prior art with hardware. The computer software programs or protocols themselves involved in this functional module are all well-known technologies to those skilled in the art and are not the improvements of this system. The improvement of this system lies in the interaction relationship or connection relationship between each module, that is, the overall structure of the system is improved to solve the corresponding technical problems to be solved by this system.

[0127] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
