DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a novel perfumed tea composition and a perfumed tea pack product using the same.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition in which tea leaves are effectively perfumed without being affected by the deodorizing effect of the tea leaves themselves, and a perfume tea pack product obtained by filling the composition in a nonwoven bag. It is about.

2. Description of the Related Art Tea is a young shoot (leaf) of tea plant belonging to the Camellia family.
Is made for beverages, and by the manufacturing method,
It is roughly classified into three types: unfermented tea (green tea), semi-fermented tea (wrapping tea, oolong tea) and fermented tea (black tea). The unfermented tea is
Furthermore, it is divided into steamed products and kirimade products.
Sencha, Gyokuro, Matcha, Bancha, Hojicha, Genmaicha, Steamed green tea, etc. Such tea is said to be the world's top three favorite drinks along with coffee and cocoa, and has a wide range of adaptability, such as sencha for Japanese food, black tea for Western food, and Chinese green tea and oolong tea for Chinese food.

[0003] These teas are conventionally known to contain various pharmacologically active substances such as caffeine, tannin, vitamin C, amino acids, polysaccharides, saponins, polyphenols, minerals, and the like. This tea is also known to work effectively against symptoms such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, and constipation.

[0004] However, although tea is such a beverage that is excellent in health, its consumption is stagnant, and in fact, it is decreasing year by year. One of the causes is that the tea fragrance that has been used for many years has become incompatible with the tastes of young people.

By the way, as one of the countermeasures, it is conceivable that the tea leaves are flavored according to their respective tastes, the original fragrance of the tea leaves is masked, and the product is adapted to the tastes of young people. Since it itself has a strong deodorizing effect, even if a fragrance is directly added thereto, a desired odor cannot be imparted.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a tea leaf having such a strong deodorizing effect by imparting an aroma in accordance with the taste of each individual, and has a demand for tea leaves exhibiting various favorable pharmacological actions for the human body. It was made for the purpose of enlargement.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention relates to tea leaves,
As a result of various studies on a method of maintaining a flavored state over a long period of time, it was found that the purpose can be achieved by adding a specific fragrance preserving treatment to tea leaves by flavoring monosaccharides, The present invention has been accomplished based on this finding.

That is, the present invention provides (A) a monosaccharide granule having a surface coated with an inorganic porous material and having an aroma.
(B) A perfume tea composition comprising a mixture with tea leaves and a perfume tea pack product obtained by filling this composition into a nonwoven bag.

In the flavored tea composition of the present invention, (A)
As the component, a monosaccharide granule whose surface is coated with an inorganic porous material and which is perfumed is used. Examples of the raw material monosaccharide in the monosaccharide granule include glucose, galactose, fructose (fructose), xylose, and mannose. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

As the inorganic porous material which covers the surface of the monosaccharide granules, for example, diatomaceous earth or calcined and expanded purified kaolin can be used. Furthermore, the flavor used for flavoring is not particularly limited as long as it is safe in food hygiene, and any of natural flavors, synthetic flavors, and compounded flavors can be used.

The granulated monosaccharide having a flavoring property of the component (A) is obtained, for example, by impregnating the monosaccharide with a desired flavor and a seasoning used as required, and then carboxymethylcellulose, tragacanth gum. , Manufactured by adding an adhesive such as sodium alginate and granulating with a granulator, and then adhering and coating the inorganic porous powder on the surface of the obtained granules while the obtained granules are wet. be able to. The coating in this case is desirably applied over the entire surface of the granules, but may be partial.

In the flavored tea composition of the present invention, the tea leaves used as the component (B) are not particularly limited, and unfermented tea (green tea), semi-fermented tea and fermented tea (black tea) obtained by a conventionally known method. ) Can be used. Examples of the unfermented tea include steamed unfermented tea such as sencha, gyokuro, matcha (tencha), bancha (kawayanagi), roasted green tea, brown rice tea, steamed tama green tea, and kamaiki tea and Chinese green tea. Examples include unfermented tea, and examples of semi-fermented tea include wrapped tea and oolong tea.

These tea leaves may be used singly, or two or more kinds may be used as a mixture, and those to which a coloring agent, a seasoning or the like is added as required may be used.

By homogeneously mixing the above components (A) and (B), a perfumed tea composition of the present invention is obtained, and this composition is filled in a nonwoven fabric bag of polypropylene, nylon, paper or the like. By doing so, a perfumed tea pack product can be obtained.

[0015] By putting the thus obtained perfumed tea pack product into a bag of hot water at the time of use, a tea liquor having a desired aroma can be provided.

[0016]

The perfumed tea composition of the present invention comprises a mixture of tea leaves and granulated monosaccharides, the surface of which is coated with an inorganic porous material, and has a strong deodorizing effect. The natural tea leaves do not diminish the fragrance of the fragrance contained therein and have excellent fragrance retention.

The packaged product in which the non-woven bag is filled with the perfumed tea composition is suitable for modern people's taste by putting it in hot water without impairing the various health-pharmacological effects inherent in tea leaves. It can give a fragrant tea liquor, and is suitably used, for example, as a beverage, a face wash, a bath additive and the like.

[0018]

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples, which should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Example 1 8 kg of D-glucose and 600 g of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were put into a ribbon mixer, and 1.2 liters of a fragrance was added and mixed while stirring gently. After granulation by mesh), the particles are returned to the ribbon mixer while wet, mixed with 2.0 kg of diatomaceous earth, and then 120 kg of green tea obtained by a conventional method is added thereto and mixing is continued. A homogeneous flavored tea composition was prepared.

Next, 5 g of the thus obtained perfumed tea composition was filled into a nylon nonwoven fabric pack to obtain a perfumed tea pack product.

Example 2 6 kg of D-glucose, 3.2 kg of fructose, 2.0 kg of sodium glutamate (seasoning agent) and 0.8 kg of sodium alginate (adhesive) were put in a mixer and mixed. While mixing, add 1.4 liters of fragrance and mix,
After granulation by a granulator (mesh No. 10), the particles were placed in a mixer while wet, and 2.8 kg of calcined kaolin was added to coat the surfaces of the particles. Next, 750 g of chlorophyll and 250 g of uranine (1 of Food Additive Pigment Yellow No. 202) dissolved in 1 liter of water were sprayed with 800 cc of a colored liquid to spray green tea 40.0 k.
g was added and mixed to prepare a homogeneous perfumed tea composition.

Next, 5 g of the perfumed tea composition thus obtained was filled into a nylon nonwoven fabric pack to obtain a perfumed tea pack product.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE One bag of the perfumed tea pack product obtained in Example 2 was placed in a 1.5-liter magic bottle to obtain a fragrant and aromatic tea beverage.

Further, two bags were placed in warm water of a basin to obtain a face wash consisting of tea liquor. Further, three bags were put in bath water and used as a bath agent.
