The invention discloses a directional preparation method of a high-stability dark
brown pigment and an application of the high-stability dark
brown pigment in an acid beverage, and relates to the technical field of food additives. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, crushing raw dark
green tea raw materials, mixing the crushed raw dark
green tea raw materials with water, adjusting the pH value to 9-12, carrying out heating extraction, and collecting a supernatant; s2, repeatedly concentrating the supernate to obtain a concentrated solution; s3, adding an
ethanol solution into the concentrated solution, standing, and collecting a precipitate; and S4, volatilizing the
ethanol in the precipitate, re-dissolving, taking the supernatant, and
drying to obtain the product. By optimizing the extraction and purification process, the dark
brown pigment with high extraction rate and
high color value is successfully prepared, the dark brown
pigment shows excellent stability in a wide
pH range and under the conditions of high temperature and
high pressure, and the
pigment obtained by the invention can be used as a natural brown coloring agent with excellent performance, is widely applied to the field of acid beverages, and has wide application prospects. Meanwhile, an effective way is provided for high-value utilization of dark tea resources.
