Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biological fermentation, and particularly to a fermented tea beverage and a production method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Tea contains a large amount of amino acids, alkaloids, and antioxidant substances such as polyphenols with active hydroxyl oxygen in their molecular structures, and has effects such as antioxidant, weight control, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, anti - diabetes, and cancer inhibition. In - vivo studies have shown that tea can improve the body's antioxidant capacity, mainly manifested in increasing the plasma Vc level, enhancing the activity of glutathione peroxidase in whole blood, and the ability of superoxide dismutase in the liver. In addition, caffeine in tea may play a role in regulating the renal sympathetic nerve, thereby regulating blood pressure. Drinking tea does not affect appetite and can effectively control weight. Its weight - control effect comes from the intervention of the active ingredients in tea in fat metabolism, either by inhibiting the activity of pancreatic lipase to reduce fat absorption, or promoting norepinephrine to induce fat decomposition, or changing the structure of the intestinal flora.
[0003] The main formula of the existing fermented tea beverage is: granulated sugar, black tea leaves, lactic acid bacteria, Kluyveromyces marxianus. The preparation process is: tea extraction - tea soup sterilization - cooling to 20 - 30°C - adding fermentation strains - testing the PH value and controlling the key points of fermentation. Currently, the main disadvantages of this tea beverage formula are: 1. Sensory aspect: The flavor of the fermented product is single and the taste is weak; 2. Physical and chemical aspects: The products are less, and the nutritional value and health functions are lower. Summary of the Invention
