Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to food and beverage technology, specifically to a compound fruit tea beverage made from Polygonatum odoratum and corn silk, and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polygonatum sibiricum, a perennial herb belonging to the genus Polygonatum in the family Liliaceae, is a traditional Chinese medicine and food homology substance. It is rich in polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, and other active ingredients, possessing effects such as lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, enhancing immunity, and anti-aging. Corn silk (Stigma Maydis), the dried style and stigma of the corn plant (a member of the Poaceae family), is rich in flavonoids, polysaccharides, and sterols, and is widely used for diuresis, lowering blood sugar, and lowering blood pressure. The combination of these two ingredients to develop functional beverages has broad market prospects.

[0003] However, corn silk water extract has a distinct raw, grassy smell, which is difficult to effectively mask using traditional methods of adding sugar and acid, resulting in a rough and astringent taste and a bitter aftertaste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a compound fruit tea beverage made from Polygonatum and corn silk and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology of adding sugar and acid is difficult to mask the raw grassy smell and grassy taste, and leads to a deterioration in the taste of the product.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention first conducted an in-depth study on the flavor defects and precipitation mechanisms of corn silk extract. The study found that the fishy odor of corn silk mainly originates from medium- and long-chain fatty acids and pyrazine compounds. By introducing specific proportions of fruits rich in ester aroma components (such as pears and green grapes) and teas rich in terpenoids (such as Tieguanyin and jasmine tea), the synergistic masking effect of these aroma compounds can significantly reduce the perceived fishy odor. Simultaneously, by introducing sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH of the system to a specific range, the aggregation of polyphenol-protein complexes can be inhibited. Combined with the steric hindrance effect of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), the precipitation problem that occurs when corn silk extract is mixed with tea extract and organic acids can be effectively solved.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0007] This invention provides the following technical solution: a compound fruit tea beverage made from Polygonatum and corn silk, prepared by volume from the following raw materials: 10-25 parts Polygonatum extract, 5-15 parts corn silk extract, 5-20 parts fruit juice / extract, and 15-35 parts tea extract. The volume ratio of the Polygonatum extract to the corn silk extract is 1:0.2-1:1.5, and the volume ratio of the fruit juice / extract to the corn silk extract is not less than 0.8:1.

[0008] The ratio of fruit juice to corn silk should be no less than 0.8:1, which is a key threshold to ensure that the fishy smell of corn silk is masked; if it is lower than this value, the fishy smell will be revealed and the risk of sedimentation will increase.

[0009] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the Polygonatum extract to the corn silk extract is 1:0.4-1:1.0.

[0010] Furthermore, the Polygonatum mentioned is processed Polygonatum;

[0011] The preparation method of the Polygonatum extract is as follows: Polygonatum and water are mixed at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:15-1:25 (kg / L), and extracted in a water bath at 75-85℃ for 50-70 minutes. After filtration, the Polygonatum extract is obtained.

[0012] The preparation characteristics of the Polygonatum extract are as follows: Polygonatum is prepared by nine steaming and nine processing methods, preferably mixed with water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:20 (kg / L), and extracted in a water bath at 80℃ for 60 min.

[0013] The nine-steaming and nine-processing technique removes the numbing sensation of raw Polygonatum odoratum and imparts a sweet caramel aroma to it.

[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the corn silk extract is as follows: dry corn silk is mixed with water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:80-1:120 (kg / L), extracted at 85-95℃ for 20-30 minutes, filtered, and the corn silk extract is obtained.

[0015] Preferably, dried corn silk is mixed with water at a ratio of 1:100 (kg / L) and extracted at 90°C for 25 minutes. Under these parameters, the flavonoid dissolution rate is high and the dissolution of fishy-smelling substances is controllable.

[0016] Furthermore, the fruit is selected from one or more of hawthorn, pear, green grape, blueberry, mulberry, and apple;

[0017] The tea leaves are selected from one of Tieguanyin, jasmine tea, and rose tea.

[0018] To ensure color stability, the fruits need to undergo color-protecting treatment before juicing: pears are soaked in 1.5% saline solution; green grapes are soaked in 0.5% vitamin C solution.

[0019] Furthermore, the fruit is a combination of hawthorn and pear, and the tea is Tieguanyin;

[0020] By volume, the ingredients are: 15 parts Tieguanyin tea soup, 12 parts Polygonatum extract, 8 parts corn silk extract, 5 parts hawthorn extract, and 5 parts pear juice.

[0021] The beverage also contains white sugar and citric acid, with a sugar-to-acid ratio of 80:1.

[0022] Furthermore, the fruit is green grape, and the tea is jasmine tea;

[0023] By volume, 20 parts jasmine tea infusion, 10 parts polygonatum extract, 8 parts corn silk extract, and 15 parts green grape juice;

[0024] The beverage also contains white sugar and citric acid, with a sugar-to-acid ratio of 80:1.

[0025] Furthermore, the fruit is blueberry, and the tea is jasmine tea;

[0026] By volume, there are 33 parts jasmine tea infusion, 23 parts polygonatum extract, 10 parts corn silk extract, and 10 parts blueberry juice.

[0027] The beverage also contains white sugar and citric acid, with a sugar-to-acid ratio of 250:1.

[0028] Furthermore, the beverage also contains 0.03%-0.10% sodium bicarbonate and 0.10%-0.30% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose by weight of the total beverage.

[0029] Preferably, the beverage further comprises 0.06% sodium bicarbonate and 0.20% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose by weight of the beverage. Sodium bicarbonate adjusts the pH of the system to 5.0-5.5, which is far from the isoelectric point of tea polyphenols-proteins, greatly reducing the tendency for complexation and precipitation. CMC forms a protective colloid, further inhibiting particle aggregation.

[0030] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned beverage, comprising the following steps:

[0031] S1. Add the processed Polygonatum sibiricum to purified water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:20 (kg / L), extract in an 80℃ water bath for 60 minutes, filter, and obtain Polygonatum sibiricum extract.

[0032] Preferably, the filtration uses four layers of gauze.

[0033] S2. Add water to the dried corn silk at a ratio of 1:100 (kg / L), extract at 90℃ for 25 minutes, filter, and obtain corn silk extract.

[0034] Preferably, the filtration uses four layers of gauze.

[0036] Take fresh fruits, wash, remove pits, cut into pieces, and treat for color protection; add water to hawthorn at a ratio of 1:10 (kg / L) and bathe in a 90℃ water bath for 40 minutes; juice pear and green grape at a ratio of 1:1 (kg / L); juice blueberry and mulberry at a ratio of 1:4 (kg / L); juice apple at a ratio of 1:2 (kg / L); filter with four layers of gauze and set aside.

[0037] S4. Boil or soak tea leaves in water, filter, and obtain tea extract;

[0038] Preferably, Tieguanyin tea is decocted in boiling water at a ratio of 1:25 (kg / L) for 30 minutes; jasmine tea or rose tea is steeped in boiling water at a ratio of 1:50 (kg / L) for 4 minutes; and then filtered through two layers of gauze for later use.

[0039] S5. Mix the extracts obtained from S1 to S4 in proportion, add sweetener, acidity regulator, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, stir evenly to obtain homogenized mixture;

[0040] Mixing and blending: Mix the S1-S4 extracts according to the formula volume ratio, add white sugar and citric acid to adjust the sugar-acid ratio, add sodium bicarbonate and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and stir evenly.

[0041] S6. Homogenize the mixture, fill it into containers, sterilize it at 85-95℃ for 10-20 minutes, and then cool it to obtain the final product.

[0042] Preferably, the product is obtained by homogenization at 25 MPa, filling, sterilization at 90°C for 15 minutes, and cooling.

[0086] Comparative Example 1:

[0087] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that corn silk extract was not added; instead, an equal volume of purified water was used. All other operations were the same. The detection and evaluation data are shown in Table 4. The results show that although the precipitation stability remained good, the lack of corn silk resulted in a thinner aroma profile and a decrease in the content of Polygonatum polysaccharides, leading to a significantly lower overall score compared to Example 1. The data in Table 4, after t-test, showed a highly significant difference in overall score compared to Example 1 (P<0.01).

[0088] Table 4. Detection and sensory evaluation data (mean ± standard deviation, n=10)

Overall score 16.15±0.70 Quality decline

[0090] Comparative Example 2:

[0091] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the formula was adjusted so that the volume ratio of fruit juice to corn silk extract was 0.4:1 (i.e., the proportion of hawthorn and pear juice was reduced), while the rest of the operations were the same. The detection and evaluation data are shown in Table 5. The results show that when the proportion of fruit juice was too low, the fishy smell of corn silk could not be effectively masked, and the taste score dropped significantly to 13.2 points, indicating that a volume ratio of fruit juice / extract to corn silk extract of not less than 0.8:1 is the key threshold for ensuring flavor.

[0093] project score Detailed description Taste (weighted 35%) 13.2±1.2 The grassy smell is obvious, and the bitterness is prominent. Aroma (weighted 25%) 14.0±1.5 The corn silk's fishy smell overpowered the fruity aroma. Overall score 14.50±0.95 Poor quality, unacceptable

[0094] Comparative Example 3:

[0095] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that sodium bicarbonate and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were not added; all other operations were the same. The detection and evaluation data are shown in Table 6. The results showed that the product exhibited slight turbidity immediately after sterilization, and obvious flocculent precipitate appeared after 7 days of storage, with a centrifugal sedimentation rate as high as 8.5%, and extremely low color and sedimentation scores. This verifies the crucial role of the present invention in stabilizing the system.

[0098] Comparative Example 4:

[0099] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that it uses raw Polygonatum slices that have not undergone the nine-steaming and nine-processing process for direct extraction; the other operations are the same. The detection and evaluation data are shown in Table 7. The results show that the product has a strong numbing sensation on the tongue, and the taste score drops to 13.0 points. Furthermore, due to the low dissolution rate of Polygonatum polysaccharides, the content of active ingredients also decreases. This indicates that the nine-steaming and nine-processing process is a necessary step in determining the product's taste and quality.
