The invention relates to the technical field of
food processing, and discloses a non-thermal
processing technology of a health drink with ultrahigh pressure homogenization cooperating with HPP sterilization, the non-thermal
processing technology comprises the following steps: S1, mixing raw materials with
purified water, and carrying out rough
processing through a
colloid mill to obtain primary
slurry; s2, inputting the primary
slurry into an ultrahigh-pressure micro-jet
homogenizer for homogenizing treatment, wherein the homogenizing pressure is 200-420 MPa; s3, performing sterile canning and sealing on the homogenized material liquid; and S4, the sealed product is subjected to HPP sterilization treatment, the sterilization pressure ranges from 100 MPa to 600 MPa, the pressure maintaining time ranges from 1 min to 10 min, and the treatment temperature is not higher than 25 DEG C. According to the invention, the damage of high temperature to the product quality is avoided through the dual effects of non-thermal ultrahigh pressure microjet homogenization and HPP sterilization in the whole process. The health-care beverage prepared by the process has excellent
physical stability and is free of layering and
precipitation; the
retention rate of heat-sensitive nutritional ingredients is high, for example, the
retention rate of
dendrobium polysaccharides is not lower than 95%, and the
retention rate of total polyphenols is not lower than 92%; meanwhile, the natural
flavor and color are kept, the taste is fine and smooth, and microbial indicators meet the requirements.
