Conventionally, since active ingredients such as chlorophyll remain in tea leaves from which tea has been extracted, a deodorant that utilizes the deodorizing action of components such as polyphenols on the powder (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 6). No. 26948), or a concentration reducing agent for serum neutral fat concentration (JP-A-6-287145) focusing on the fiber blood pressure lowering effect of the extracted residue, and the water absorption and disappearance of the dried residue after drying. To make pet toilet sand (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-203793) using odor, to be used as other organic compost, and to be used as a molded product having antibacterial and deodorant properties by mixing with synthetic resin Are known.
However, the extract based on the extraction residue cannot be returned to green, and there is a problem in reusing it as a beverage.
On the other hand, in the method for producing aloe green juice disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-47198, a step of slicing raw raw leaves of raw yellow aloe as a raw material into a desired width, and adding a predetermined amount of water to a predetermined amount of raw raw leaves of dried yellow aloe, The step of boiling the fresh leaves of water and water under pressure to produce a fly aroma aloe solution containing the extract of the fly algae, and the fresh leaves of boiled fly aroma aloe are taken out from the solution of the fly algae aloe, which is finely crushed and wetted A step of obtaining crushed raw leaves having the above, and a step of adding a predetermined amount of water to the crushed raw leaves and adding a predetermined amount of water to the ground raw aloe extract, and adding these to a copper kettle and boiling for a predetermined time while stirring. A method for producing aloe green juice is disclosed.
And thereby, the aloe green juice which exhibits green is obtained by discoloring the finely crushed aloe leaves into a vivid green color.
However, the above method is applied to aloe leaves, and there still remains a problem with respect to the method of recycling using tea leaves.
In Japanese Patent No. 2872971, in a method of bringing a bleached plant into contact with a solution containing metal ions and restoring the green color of the plant by the action of metal ions, or keeping the color green, zinc ions are added to the solution containing metal ions. In addition, a method for restoring the green color of a plant or keeping it green using a solution containing iron ions is disclosed.
This is because the addition of zinc prevents the magnesium contained in the chlorophyll from being lost and browning.
However, in the above method, it is necessary to use zinc ions or iron ions in addition to metal ions, and there is a disadvantage that the configuration becomes complicated.
In JP 2009-254270 A, a corresponding result can be obtained by extracting the crushed liquid obtained by pulverizing tea leaves at a high pressure using a pressure copper pot, but adjusting the copper ion water to a desired concentration. I can't.
