The application discloses a tea
processing technology of small yellow flower tea with high
active ingredient reservation, and aims at a rare
plant, small yellow flower tea, in China. The optimal
processing technology is screened out by comparing the influences of different
processing technologies on the quality. The processing technology comprises the following steps: selecting small yellow flower tea leaves as raw materials, naturally
wilting for 68-76 hours to reduce the
water content of the leaves to 20%-30%,
drying at 65 DEG C-75 DEG C for 110-130 minutes, and finally crushing and screening through a 50-70 mesh
sieve to obtain the small yellow flower tea. The content of tea
polyphenol in the small yellow flower tea prepared by the application is greater than or equal to 12.5%, the content of total flavonoids is greater than or equal to 43.0 mg / g, and the content of EGC is greater than or equal to 130 mg / g. The IC50 of the small yellow flower tea to alpha-
glucosidase is less than or equal to 60 mu g / mL, and the
sodium cholate binding capacity is greater than or equal to 23.5 mu mol / g. The
antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities of the small yellow flower tea are significantly better than those of other technologies. The
acute toxicity test proves that the small yellow flower tea is safe for eating. The application provides a scientific and feasible reference scheme for
resource protection and industrialization development of the small yellow flower tea.
