TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of functional composite beverage preparation, in particular to a processing method of eagle tea composite beverage. BACKGROUND
[0002] Eagle tea, as a tea beverage with local characteristics, is recorded in Shennong Bencao Jing. It is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids and other nutrients and minerals, and contains many trace elements beneficial to the human body. It has obvious effects of preventing stale, preventing decay, relieving cough, relieving asthma, relieving summer-heat, dispelling swelling, improving eyesight, invigorating the stomach, and diuresis.
[0003] Eagle tea, as the tender branches and leaves of the Cinnamomum subavenium, is a traditional medicine and food resource in southwest China. It is rich in tea polyphenols, flavonoids and volatile camphor components, and has the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer-heat, antioxidant and metabolic regulation. However, its industrialization process is limited by extensive processing technology. Camellia sinensis var. assamica is a representative of the Aquifoliaceae family, which is rich in polyphenols and triterpenes, and has the functions of reducing blood sugar and anti-inflammatory. However, its consumption acceptance is insufficient due to its significant bitterness. The natural sweetness (containing betaine and polysaccharides) and immune regulation of wolfberry make it an ideal flavor modifier. However, when used alone or simply compounded, it cannot fully exert the functional synergistic effect with other plant materials.
[0004] The prior art mainly uses simple combinations of eagle tea and single auxiliary materials (such as eagle tea ~ red dates, eagle tea ~ honey). There is no report on the compounding of eagle tea, camellia sinensis var. assamica and wolfberry. The reasons are as follows: both eagle tea and camellia sinensis var. assamica contain tannins, and the bitterness will be increased after simple mixing. If a large amount of white sugar is added to neutralize the bitterness, the sugar content of the product will exceed the standard. Secondly, the flavonoids in eagle tea and the polyphenols in camellia sinensis var. assamica can synergistically enhance the antioxidant activity. However, due to improper extraction parameters, the dissolution rate of active ingredients is insufficient. Although wolfberry polysaccharides can regulate the taste, the stability of tea polyphenols and wolfberry polysaccharides has not been studied. The polysaccharides are degraded at high temperature, losing their nutritional value. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a processing method of eagle tea composite beverage, which uses eagle tea as the core, and compounds camellia sinensis var. assamica and wolfberry to produce eagle tea composite beverage through precise extraction and synergy.
[0006] A processing method of eagle tea composite beverage, comprising: S1, pretreatment of raw materials: selecting dry eagle tea and removing impurities; selecting dry camellia sinensis var. assamica and crushing it to a particle size of 0.5-1 mm; selecting dry wolfberry, washing and draining; S2, extraction: mix the old eagle tea and pure water according to the material liquid ratio of 1:75-85 (g:mL), extract at 75-85 DEG C for 25-35 min, filter to obtain the old eagle tea soup; mix the bitter tea and pure water according to the material liquid ratio of 1:35-45 (g:mL), extract at 75-85 DEG C for 90-110 min, filter to obtain the bitter tea soup; mix the medlar and pure water according to the material liquid ratio of 1:18-22 (g:mL), extract at 90-100 DEG C for 10-15 min, filter to obtain the medlar extraction liquid; S3, take 60-70 mL of the old eagle tea soup, 6-10 mL of the bitter tea soup and 4-8 mL of the medlar extraction liquid as a standard unit of 100 mL, add 3.5-4.5 g of white sugar and 0.015-0.025 g of citric acid, and add pure water to 100 mL; S4, 80-90 DEG C water bath sterilization for 12-18 min, filter after cooling to obtain the old eagle tea compound beverage.
[0007] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: The old eagle tea soup, the bitter tea soup and the medlar extraction liquid are extracted by using different extraction conditions respectively, so that the maximum dissolution rate of effective components is ensured.
[0008] Take 60-70 mL of the old eagle tea soup, 6-10 mL of the bitter tea soup and 4-8 mL of the medlar extraction liquid as a standard unit of 100 mL. The old eagle tea soup serves as a basic flavor source, ensures that the camphor concentration is greater than or equal to 0.12 mg / L, and provides tea polyphenols to lay a foundation for antioxidant function. If it is less than 60 mL, the camphor is light; if it is greater than 70 mL, the tea flavor is too thick and is easy to be superimposed with the bitter and astringent of the bitter tea.
[0009] The bitter tea soup supplements triterpenoids and polyphenols (greater than or equal to 80 mg / 100 mL), so that the total antioxidant capacity of the finished product is increased by 15%, and the input amount of tannin is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.012 g / 100 mL, so as to avoid excessive bitterness. If it is less than 6 mL, the function is insufficient; if it is greater than 10 mL, the tannin is more than 0.015 g / 100 mL, and the medlar is difficult to neutralize. The medlar extraction liquid provides polysaccharides and betaine, neutralizes the tannin of the bitter tea through sweet and bitter antagonism, and the polysaccharides can form a hydrogen bond complex with tea polyphenols to reduce the oxidation loss of tea polyphenols. If it is less than 4 mL, the neutralization effect is insufficient; if it is greater than 8 mL, the sweetness is too thick to cover the camphor.
[0010] Preferably, the dry old eagle tea is harvested in April to July of the current year, the water content is less than or equal to 12%, and the particle size is 1-2 mm; the dry bitter tea has a water content less than or equal to 10% and a leaf integrity greater than or equal to 90%; and the dry medlar has a polysaccharide content greater than or equal to 4.0% and a water content less than or equal to 15%.
[0011] Preferably, the extraction material liquid ratio of the old eagle tea is 1:80, the extraction material liquid ratio of the bitter tea is 1:40, and the extraction material liquid ratio of the medlar is 1:20.
[0012] As preferred, the 100mL standard unit is prepared by mixing 65mL of the tea soup of the old eagle tea, 8mL of the tea soup of the bitter tea, 6mL of the extracted liquid of the medlar, 4g of white sugar, and 0.02g of citric acid.
[0013] As preferred, the 100mL standard unit is prepared by mixing 60mL of the tea soup of the old eagle tea, 6mL of the tea soup of the bitter tea, 4mL of the extracted liquid of the medlar, 3.5g of white sugar, and 0.015g of citric acid.
[0014] As preferred, the 100mL standard unit is prepared by mixing 70mL of the tea soup of the old eagle tea, 10mL of the tea soup of the bitter tea, 8mL of the extracted liquid of the medlar, 4.5g of white sugar, and 0.025g of citric acid.
[0015] As preferred, the filtering is performed by using 80-100 mesh filter cloth; and the stirring is performed every 10 minutes during the extraction, with 1 minute for each time. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Example 3: S3, 65mL of old eagle tea soup, 8mL of bitter tea soup, 6mL of medlar extraction solution, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and pure water to make up to 100mL, other parameters are the same as example 1.
[0020] Blank group 1: 80mL of old eagle tea soup (above the upper limit of 70mL), 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and 16mL of pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL; Blank group 2: 12mL of bitter tea soup, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and 84mL of pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL; Blank group 3: 10mL of medlar extraction solution, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and 86mL of pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL; Blank group 4: 50mL of old eagle tea soup, 4mL of bitter tea soup, 2mL of medlar extraction solution, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and 39.975mL of pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL.
[0021] Blank group 5: 75mL of old eagle tea soup, 11mL of bitter tea soup, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and 9.975mL of pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL; Blank group 6: 75mL of old eagle tea soup, 11mL of bitter tea soup, 10mL of medlar extraction solution, 4g of white granulated sugar, 0.02g of citric acid, and pure water (make up to 100mL) as a unit of 100mL; The sensory evaluation table refers to the following table 1: Table 1
[0022] The sensory evaluation is evaluated by 10 professional persons for 3 times, and the average value is taken, and the physicochemical indexes are detected, and the following tables 2 and 3 are obtained:
[0023]
[0024] The sensory score of Example 3 is 87.0, the taste is 25.2, the smell is 18.5, which is significantly better than Example 1, Example 2, Example 3 tea polyphenol 409.67 mg / kg, total flavonoids 547.96 μg / mL, ABTS clearance rate 99.29%, which proves that the flavonoids of old eagle tea, polyphenols of bitter tea and gypenosides have synergistic antioxidant effect, rather than simple component superposition (such as blank group 5 tea polyphenol 420.5 mg / kg, but the clearance rate is only 88.7%). The turbidity of Example 3 stored for 30 days is 0.72 NTU (low sedimentation), the total number of colonies is 10 CFU / mL (the lowest), and only contains natural sugar and citric acid, without artificial additives, which meets the "clean label" requirement.
