Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of table sugar substitute production technology, and in particular to a production system for preparing table sugar substitutes using organic stevia as raw material. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of modern healthy eating concepts, consumers' demand for low-calorie, natural sweeteners is increasing. Traditional sugars such as sucrose, while highly sweet, are also relatively high in calories, and long-term excessive intake may increase health risks such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, finding a natural sweetener that can satisfy the need for sweetness while possessing low-calorie properties has become an important research direction in the food industry. Organic stevia, a natural sweetener extracted from the stevia plant, is gradually gaining market favor due to its high sweetness (up to 200-350 times that of sucrose), low calorie content (only 1 / 300th that of sucrose), and good stability and safety. However, traditional stevia production processes suffer from low extraction rates, substandard purity, and high production costs, limiting its large-scale application. Therefore, to address these issues, it is necessary to develop a production system that uses organic stevia as a raw material to prepare tabletop sweeteners. Utility Model Content

The outlet of the first extraction device is connected to a first separation device. The filtrate outlet of the first separation device is connected to a first extract storage tank. The slag outlet of the first separation device is connected to a second extraction device. The outlet of the second extraction device is connected to the second separation device. The liquid outlet of the second separation device is connected to a second extract storage tank. The liquid outlets of the first and second extract storage tanks are respectively connected to an extract merging vessel. The liquid outlet of the extract merging vessel is connected to a concentration vessel. The concentrate outlet of the concentration vessel is connected to a drying device. The outlet of the drying device is connected to an organic stevia storage tank. The outlet of the organic stevia storage tank is connected to an organic stevia syrup preparation tank. The solvent inlet of the organic stevia syrup preparation tank is connected to a solvent storage tank. The outlet of the organic stevia syrup preparation tank is connected to a granulation device. The outlet of the granulation device is connected to a table sugar substitute product storage tank. In actual production, the stevia powder, after impurity removal, pulverization, and sieving, is fed into the first extraction device. Extraction solvent is added, and extraction parameters are controlled. The extracted liquid then enters the first separation device, where it is stored in a first extract storage tank. The residue enters the second extraction device, where extraction solvent is added again, and extraction parameters are controlled. The extracted liquid then enters the second separation device, where it is stored in a second extract storage tank. The extracts from both the first and second extraction tanks are then transferred to an extraction merging vessel. After thorough mixing, the mixture is concentrated in a concentration vessel and then dried using a drying device. The resulting organic stevia powder is stored in an organic stevia storage tank. The organic stevia powder is then added to an organic stevia syrup preparation tank, along with solvent from a solvent storage tank. After stirring and mixing, a uniformly concentrated organic stevia syrup is obtained. Then, erythritol is added to a granulation device, along with the organic stevia syrup, for granulation. Finally, the prepared product is stored in a tabletop sugar substitute storage tank. The above-mentioned production system is reasonably designed, enabling continuous production, and the resulting sugar substitute products have good taste and color.

[0014] Since the first extraction device is an ultrasonic extraction tank, in actual production, stevia powder, purified water, and compound enzymes are added into the ultrasonic extraction tank, the pH is adjusted appropriately, and the ultrasonic power, extraction temperature, and extraction time are controlled. These operations can significantly improve the extraction efficiency of active ingredients such as steviol glycosides and chlorophyll.

[0016] The second extraction device is a microwave extraction tank. In actual production, the separated residue, purified water, and compound enzyme are put into the microwave extraction tank, the pH is adjusted appropriately, and the microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time are controlled. Through the above operations, the effective extraction of steviol glycosides can be further achieved. In addition, small molecule proteins, chlorogenic acid, and other active ingredients can also be extracted.

An external jacket surrounds the vessel body, and an internal stirring shaft is located inside. One end of the stirring shaft is connected to a motor, and multiple stirring rods with various stirring plates are mounted on the shaft.
