Abstract

The invention discloses a process for preparing tea cakes rich in tea polysaccharide, and proportion of tea polysaccharide contained in the tea leaves rich in the tea polysaccharide disclosed in the present invention accounts for 5-6% of the dry weight of the tea leaves. The process for preparing tea cakes rich in tea polysaccharide comprises the following two steps: (1) prepare a tea polysaccharide concentrated solution, namely, the mother solution with the polysaccharide concentration of 200-350 g/L, or prepare the concentrated solution powder via spray drying; (2) replace the water to be added into the tea cakes with the concentrated solution or the aqueous solution made of the tea polysaccharide powder in the tea cake preparation process, and then the prepare tea cakes according to the conventional tea preparation process. Compared with the prior tea leaves, the tea cakes prepared by the invention contain more tea polysaccharide. After being brewed, the tea polysaccharide can be dissolved in the tea water and absorbed by human body through the digestive system. As a result, the tea leaves have the same nutritional value as the tea polysaccharide on the premise of not influencing the quality of the tea leaves. In addition, the preparation of the tea polysaccharide powder is convenient for long-distance transportation, and the preparation of tea cakes at the non-tea production area or non-tea leaf picking season.

Description

Process for Preparing Tea Cakes Rich in Tea Polysaccharide
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a tea preparation process and belongs to the technical field of food biology.
BACKGROUND
In China, there are abundant tea resources, with the dry primary tea yield being more than 2616000 tons. However, due to extremely low deep processing and utilization ratio, a large amount of middle and low-grade tea leaves are unsalable to different degrees. The tea polysaccharide is a bioactive substance with higher content in coarse and old tea leaves, the lower the quality of the tea leaves is, the higher the content of the tea polysaccharide is. The tea polysaccharide has the effects in reducing blood sugar, reducing blood lipid and resisting oxidation.
At present, there is few new brands established on the basis of primary and old tea on in the while China, and the product taking tea polysaccharide as an ingredient or an additive is rarely known. The invention can boost the market competitiveness of the low-grade tea leaves by virtue of the biological activity and the price advantages of the tea cakes, which are made of by applying the tea polysaccharide extracted from primary and old tea leaves of tea trees into some low-quality tea leaves. As a result, the invention not only can turn the waste primary and old tea into wealth, but also improve the sales volume of low-grade tea leaves, as well as filling the market blank of new tea leaves.
SUMMARY
The invention aims to provide a process for preparing tea rich in tea polysaccharide, which can solve the problems of increasing the tea polysaccharide content of the tea and filling the market gap in the corresponding field.
The proportion of tea polysaccharide contained in the tea cakes rich in tea polysaccharide provided by the invention accounts for 5-6% of the weight of tea leaves. However, it does not mean that the more content of the tea polysaccharide, the better it is. Due to the excessive tea polysaccharide in the prepared tea cakes, the tea cakes will get hardened and get difficult to brew.
The invention also provides a process for preparing tea cakes rich in the tea polysaccharide, which mainly comprises the following steps: (1) prepare the tea polysaccharide; and (2) prepare tea cakes with the tea polysaccharide prepared in Step
(1).
Specifically, the method for preparing the tea polysaccharide in Step (1) comprises the following steps:
Rapidly wash the primary and old tea leaves picked from tea trees with ice water to remove surface impurities, dry the primary and old leaves at 110-120°C to the constant weight, crush them, sieve them with a 30-80 mesh sieve, add the distilled water with the mass of 10-50 times, compress and extract for 2-5 times at 70-80°C for -120 minutes per time, concentrate the extracting solution under the reduced pressure to obtain tea polysaccharide solution with the concentration of 100-120g/L, then add granular active carbon into the tea polysaccharide solution, stir for 1 hour, filter to remove the active carbon, add 8mg/mL of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVPP), centrifuge it again, concentrate the supernatant liquid under reduced pressure to 200 350g/L to obtain tea polysaccharide concentrated solution, and preserve it under cold environment.
The primary and old leaves provided by the invention also comprise trimmed branches and leaves of tea trees, and the primary and old leaves are used as raw materials for extracting tea polysaccharide, and the main reason is that: 1, the content of the tea polysaccharide in the primary and old leaves is high, as a result, the yield of the tea polysaccharide is high; 2, the cost of trimmed branches and primary and old tea leaves is much lower than the low-grade tea sold in the market, which is a good way to save cost.
Advantages of washing with ice water (rather than normal temperature water) are that: normal temperature water or warm water has a certain extraction effect on tea polysaccharide contained in primary and old leaves, since the washing process will last for 20-30 minutes, and the loss of the tea polysaccharide can be reduced by lowering the water temperature.
The main purpose of adding the active carbon is to decolorize, namely, avoid jeopardizing the drinking experience due to the dark color of brewed tea with the addition of tea polysaccharide. The main purpose of adding PVPP is to remove tea polyphenols, and prevent browning due to heating during extraction of tea polysaccharide. PVPP also has a certain effect of removing protein, and can improve the purity of the tea polysaccharide.
By compressing and extracting tea polysaccharide, it can destroy the fiber structure of tea leaves in a better way, and extract the tea polysaccharide to the maximum extent, with the optimal pressure being 0.04-0.05MPa.
Further, after preparing the tea polysaccharide concentrated solution in Step (1), further repeatedly freeze-dry the tea polysaccharide solution for 8-10 times, then re dissolve the tea polysaccharide in water, centrifuge to obtain the tea polysaccharide solution, and obtain the tea polysaccharide powder spray drying. The purpose of repeated freeze-drying is to allow the tea polysaccharide powder to dissolve sufficiently, otherwise the tea soup may be relatively turbid.
Specifically, the method for preparing tea cakes rich in tea polysaccharide in Step (2) comprises the following steps:
Heat the tea polysaccharide concentrated solution to 55°C, stir, dissolve and spray the concentrated solution on the surface of tea leaves, spray-rinse the tea leaves with low-temperature steam until there is no obvious concentrated tea polysaccharide slurry on the surface, perform high-pressure treatment for 5-15s under the pressure of 1-5MPa, dry it in a vacuum drying box for 10-50 minutes, prepare tea cakes according to the steps of pressing, drying, storing and drying, package and put it into warehouses. The effect of the high-pressure treatment is that the tea polysaccharide is better permeated into the tea leaves, rather than staying on the surface of the tea leaves. Otherwise, if the tea polysaccharide attached on the surface all tea leaves after being prepared into tea cakes will get bonded together, and the tea cakes are hardened.
Further, the method for preparing the tea cake by using the tea polysaccharide powder comprises the following steps:
Add the tea leaves and the tea polysaccharide powder into a roller according to the mass ratio of 3:1-6:1, stir and mix, spray warm water during the mixing process, uniformly mix them, perform high-pressure treatment for 5-15s, take them out, flatten them, place them in a shaking table to shake for 30 minutes, prepare tea cakes according to the steps of pressing, drying, storing and drying, package and put into the warehouse. The optimal pressure for the high-pressure treatment is 3MPa, with the effect similar to that of the prior art, namely, the tea polysaccharide is prevented from being completely attached to the surface of the tea leaves, and the tea cakes will not get too hardened after being prepared.
Further, in Step (2), the duration of the low-temperature steam spray-rinsing process is less than 15s, the vacuum drying temperature is 20-50°C, and the dressing, spray washing and vacuum drying is repeated for 5-10 times to ensure that there is no obvious gloss on the surface of the finished tea leaves under sunlight. If the surface of the tea leaves is glossy, it means that there are a plurality of tea polysaccharide on the surface of the tea leaves. As a result, the tea cakes will get hardened and difficult to brew after being prepared.
Compared with the prior art, the yield can be improved by 100%-200%, and the tea polysaccharide is easily dissolved in hot water, and can be dissolved in tea water after being brewed, without jeopardize the quality of the tea and the tea water. After being absorbed by the digestive system, it can reduce blood sugar and blood lipid and resist oxidation. At the same time, it can improve the efficacy of tea, especially the low grade tea, and the market competitiveness.

Measure the content of polysaccharide in tea cake by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. Before adding tea polysaccharide, the content of polysaccharide in tea is
2.33%, and after adding tea polysaccharide, the content of polysaccharide in tea is 5.02%.
Embodiment 2
This embodiment provides a product processing example for preparing tea cakes rich in tea polysaccharide with tea polysaccharide powder.
Collect trimmed leaves of tea trees in Laoshan tea garden of Qingdao, quickly wash with ice water to remove surface impurities, put them into oven for drying at 120°C, crush, sieve with a 50-mesh sieve, add the distilled water with the mass 20 times of the leaves,compress and extract at 80°C under the pressure of 0.05 MPa for 3 times for 100 minutes per time, combine the extracting solutions, add granular active carbon, stir for 1 hr, filter to remove active carbon, add 8mg/mL polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVPP), centrifuge again, concentrate the supernatant liquid under reduced pressure to obtain tea polysaccharide concentrated solution, freeze dry for 8 times, dissolve tea polysaccharide in water, centrifuge to obtain tea polysaccharide solution with the concentration of 40g/L, and obtain tea polysaccharide powder via spray drying.
Add 2000g of black tea (raw material tea leaves) and 400g tea polysaccharide powder into the roller, stir and mix, spray 500mL of warm water during the mixing process, uniformly mix them, place them in the high-pressure equipment of 3MPa for s, take them out, put them at a shaking table to shake for 30 minutes, prepare tea cakes according to the steps of pressing, drying, storing and drying, package and put into the warehouse.
Determine the polysaccharide content contained in each tea leaf at different stages and process by adopting the phenol-sulfuric acid method,
Meanwhile, design the control tea, take the same black tea (raw materials), spray only a proper amount of warm water, then carry out the foregoing preparation method, and measure the polysaccharide content of the three black tea at the same time.
The results are shown in Table 1:
Table 1 Polysaccharide Content in Different Tea Leaves
Tea leaves rich in tea polysaccharide Control Item Untreated black tea raw material in this embodiment tea
Polysaccharide 2.46 4.97 2.19 content (%)
As can be seen from the above table, the polysaccharide content of the control tea leaves is reduced after conventional tea leaf preparation. and the content of the polysaccharide of tea cakes prepared via conventional process is greatly increased after adding the polysaccharide into black tea.
From the perspective of increasing tea polysaccharide, the more tea polysaccharide is added, the more tea polysaccharide content is increased in tea leaves. However, the tea polysaccharide is powder and needs to be mixed into the tea leaves by adding water, and excessive tea polysaccharide will get the tea cakes hardened, which cannot be brewed for drinking. Considering the loss in the process of adding the tea polysaccharide, and the unqualified content of tea polysaccharide in the tea cakes due to low adding amount, the optimal mass ratio of tea and the tea polysaccharide is 5:1
