The application belongs to the technical field of
flavor beverage
processing, and discloses a fruit-vegetable-
herb composite
flavor beverage and a preparation method thereof. The beverage comprises a beverage base liquid and a microcapsule
system dispersed in the beverage base liquid. The beverage base liquid contains fruit-vegetable juice components,
herb extract components and a hydrophilic
colloid stabilizer. The hydrophilic
colloid stabilizer forms a weak gel network in the base liquid with the suspended microcapsule
system. The microcapsule
system includes three types of microcapsules, namely, front, middle and
tail microcapsules. The average particle sizes of the three types of microcapsules increase in sequence, the
mass ratios of core materials to wall materials decrease in sequence, and the release rates decrease in sequence. The application can realize layered
time sequence flavor, reduce flavor loss caused by
heat processing, improve the suspension stability of the product during long-term storage, strictly control the content of beta-
cyclodextrin to meet safety requirements, and has excellent sensory performance, and is suitable for the large-scale production and promotion of fruit tea beverages.
