Description
本発明は、緑茶を主成分とする粉末茶の製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for producing powdered tea mainly composed of green tea.
緑茶の粉末(以下、粉末茶という)を温湯や水中に分散させたお茶は、急須等で茶葉に温湯を注いで淹れた抽出液を飲むお茶に比べて、容易に飲用に供することができる上、茶殻が発生しないので廃棄物の減量化にも寄与することができる。また、粉末茶の内の特に高級なものは、高価であるため安易に飲むことはできない。加えて、粉末茶を温湯や水中に分散させたお茶は、茶葉の抽出液では摂取できないn−3系多価不飽和脂肪酸、食物繊維、一部しか摂取出来ないカテキン類やフラボノイド等の有効成分を丸ごと摂取することをも可能とする。ところが、通常の(揉んで製造する葉肉、葉脈、茎を含む茶葉)煎茶、番茶やほうじ茶等を単純に粉末にしただけの粉末茶は、苦みや渋みが強いために、飲用に適しているとは言い難い。それゆえ、特許文献1の如く、煎茶の茶葉を60℃前後の低温で焙煎することによって、粉末茶の苦みや渋みを低減させる方法が提案されている。 Tea with green tea powder (hereinafter referred to as powdered tea) dispersed in warm water or water can be used for drinking more easily than tea that uses a teapot to pour warm water into tea leaves and drink an extract. Moreover, since no tea husks are generated, it can contribute to the reduction of waste. Also, especially high-quality powdered tea is expensive and cannot be easily consumed. In addition, tea in which powdered tea is dispersed in warm water or water is an active ingredient such as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, catechins and flavonoids that can be ingested only partially by tea leaf extract. It is also possible to ingest the whole. However, powdered teas that are simply powdered from ordinary (tea leaves containing leafy meat, veins, stems, etc.), bancha, roasted tea, etc. are suitable for drinking because of their strong bitterness and astringency. Is hard to say. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a method of reducing the bitterness and astringency of powdered tea by roasting tea leaves of sencha at a low temperature of about 60 ° C. has been proposed.
上記した特許文献1に係る粉末茶の製造方法によれば、粉末茶の苦みや渋みがある程度低減される。しかしながら、特許文献1に係る粉末茶の製造方法は、焙煎にきわめて長時間を要するため、工業的な生産には利用し難い。加えて、特許文献1に係る粉末茶の製造方法は、粉末茶の苦みや渋みをある程度低減することができるものの、必ずしも効果的であるとは言えなかった。 According to the method for producing powdered tea according to Patent Document 1 described above, the bitterness and astringency of powdered tea are reduced to some extent. However, the method for producing powdered tea according to Patent Document 1 requires a very long time for roasting, and thus is difficult to use for industrial production. In addition, although the method for producing powdered tea according to Patent Document 1 can reduce the bitterness and astringency of powdered tea to some extent, it has not always been effective.
本発明の目的は、上記従来の粉末茶の製造方法が有する問題点を解消し、苦みや渋みが十分に低減されているとともに、とろみが少なく、すっきり、あっさりとしており、美味しく飲み易い上、通常の抽出液を飲む緑茶では摂取できない成分を摂取可能で健康増進にも寄与し得る緑茶を主成分とする粉末茶を提供することが可能な粉末茶の製造方法を提供することにある。 The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional methods for producing powdered tea, the bitterness and astringency are sufficiently reduced, and there is little thickness, it is clean and light, and it is easy to drink deliciously. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing powdered tea capable of providing powdered tea mainly composed of green tea that can be ingested with components that cannot be consumed with green tea that drinks this extract and can contribute to health promotion.
本発明の内、請求項1に記載された発明は、碾茶を原料としており湯水に分散させて飲用可能な粉末茶の製造方法であって、全遊離アミノ酸の含有率が2.5%以上6.2%以下であり、かつ、タンニンの含有率が7.0%以上13.0%以下である碾茶を、収納器具に入れて直火にかけることなく100℃以上180℃以下の温度で加熱することにより焙煎する工程と、焙煎後の碾茶を細粉砕する工程とを有しており、前記焙煎が下記(1)から(3)の要件を満たすものであることを特徴とするものである。

また、請求項2に記載された発明は、請求項1に記載された発明において、焙煎が、焙煎前の碾茶中のタンニンおよびカフェインの含有率を50%以上減少させるものであることを特徴とするものである。
The invention described in claim 2 is the invention described in claim 1 , wherein the roasting reduces the content of tannin and caffeine in the tea before roasting by 50% or more. It is characterized by.
本発明に係る粉末茶の製造方法によれば、安価で低級、下級な茶葉であっても、滋味や香りを増強するとともに、苦渋味やとろみを軽減してすっきりとした味に変化させることができるので、高級な茶葉と同様な苦渋味が少ない味を提供することが可能になる。また、本発明に係る粉末茶の製造方法によれば、茶葉の苦みや渋みが軽減されるため、通常は苦渋味が強くて飲用できないような茶葉(碾茶の茶葉)の粉体物を(煎じて淹れる方法ではなく)そのまま飲用することが可能となるので、茶葉に含まれる全ての栄養成分を効率的かつ多量に体内に取り込むことが可能となる。 According to the method for producing powdered tea according to the present invention, it is possible to enhance the taste and aroma, and reduce bitterness and astringency and change to a clean taste even for inexpensive, low-grade and low-grade tea leaves. As a result, it is possible to provide a taste with less bitterness similar to that of high-quality tea leaves. In addition, according to the method for producing powdered tea according to the present invention, since the bitterness and astringency of tea leaves are reduced, a powdered tea leaf (tea tea leaves) that normally has a strong bitter taste and cannot be drunk (decoction) Since it is possible to drink as it is (not a method of making food), all the nutritional components contained in the tea leaves can be taken into the body efficiently and in large quantities.
本発明に係る粉末茶の製造方法は、碾茶を焙煎して細粉砕する工程を有することを特徴としている。なお、本発明でいう碾茶とは、チャノキ(学名Camellia sinensis、ツバキ科ツバキ属の常緑樹)の被覆した茶葉を蒸してから揉捻すること(揉むこと)なく乾燥させて、葉肉のみを選別し、その葉肉(すなわち、葉脈、茎を含まないもの)を、長さ(最大部分の長さ)が約5mmとなるように、粗く粉砕したものを言い、所謂、仕立て葉(砕料)が、これに相当する。また、抹茶とは、その碾茶を茶臼等でひくことによって粉砕したものである。一方、細粉砕とは、焙煎した碾茶を、粒径が約100μm以下となるように(好ましくは、1〜20μmとなるように)、細かく粉砕することをいう(通常、このように碾茶を細粉砕することによって抹茶が得られる)。 The method for producing powdered tea according to the present invention is characterized by having a step of roasting and finely pulverizing tea. In addition, strawberry tea as used in the present invention means that tea leaves covered with chanoki (Scientific name Camellia sinensis, camellia genus Camellia) are steamed and dried without twisting, and only the mesophyll is selected. This refers to the mesophyll (that is, the one that does not contain veins and stems) that has been coarsely crushed so that the length (maximum length) is about 5 mm, and so-called tailored leaves (crushed material) Equivalent to. Matcha tea is obtained by pulverizing the tea with a tea mill or the like. On the other hand, fine pulverization means that the roasted tea is finely pulverized so that the particle size is about 100 μm or less (preferably 1 to 20 μm) (usually, the tea Matcha can be obtained by fine grinding).
また、本発明でいう焙煎とは、焙烙鍋(ホウロクナベ)、土鍋、炒鍋、その他の茶葉の収納器具を用いて、16%RH〜50%RH(相対湿度)、約20℃±5℃の雰囲気下で、加熱装置によって、茶葉(すなわち、碾茶)を直火にかけることなく加熱することである。なお、加熱装置としては、茶葉が少量である場合には、五徳等を好適に用いることができ、茶葉が多量である場合には、ガスバーナー等を利用した大型の加熱装置を用いることができる。 The roasting referred to in the present invention is 16% RH to 50% RH (relative humidity), about 20 ° C. ± 5 ° C., using a roasting pan (Horocunabe), clay pot, fry pan, and other tea leaf storage equipment. In this atmosphere, the tea leaves ( that is, tea ) are heated without being subjected to an open flame by a heating device. In addition, as a heating apparatus, when a tea leaf is a small amount, Gotoku etc. can be used suitably, and when a tea leaf is abundant, a large-sized heating apparatus using a gas burner etc. can be used. .
碾茶を焙煎することによって、苦渋味の原因となる成分であるカテキン類、カフェイン、アルギニン等を低減させることが可能となる。また、焙煎によって、香気成分のピラジン類、ピロール類、フラン類、フルフラール類を生成させることが可能となる。また、アミノ化合物と還元糖とが、メイラード反応によって旨味成分であるアミノカルボニル反応生成物となり、還元糖が、カラメル化物を生成させる。加えて、上記の如く焙煎することによって、カテキン類は、熱変性カテキン酸化物となる。また、上記の如く焙煎することによって、炭水化物、糖の酸化反応により茶葉中のカラメル化物が増加して、アミノカルボニル反応生成物やカテキン酸化物とともに、粉末茶の旨味や滋味を増し、とろみの軽減となる。 By roasting persimmon tea, it becomes possible to reduce catechins, caffeine, arginine and the like, which are components causing bitterness and astringency. Moreover, it becomes possible to produce aroma components pyrazines, pyrroles, furans, and furfurals by roasting. Moreover, an amino compound and a reducing sugar turn into an aminocarbonyl reaction product which is an umami component by Maillard reaction, and a reducing sugar produces | generates a caramelization product. In addition, catechins become heat-modified catechin oxides by roasting as described above. In addition, by roasting as described above, caramelized products in tea leaves are increased due to the oxidation reaction of carbohydrates and sugars, and together with aminocarbonyl reaction products and catechin oxides, the umami and nourishment of powdered tea is increased. It becomes mitigation.
また、かかる焙煎の温度は、100℃以上180℃以下であると好ましく、160℃以上180℃以下の範囲内でより好ましい。すなわち、100℃以上180℃以下の範囲内で焙煎を行うと、粉末茶の苦渋味の低減に効果があり、160℃以上180℃以下の範囲内で焙煎を行うと、粉末茶の香ばしさの増加に効果がある。また、焙煎の時間は、焙煎の温度によって異なるが、100℃以上160℃未満の範囲内で焙煎する場合には、3分以上30分以下の長さとするのが好ましく、160℃以上180℃以下の範囲内で焙煎する場合には、2分以上20分以下の長さとするのが好ましい。加えて、焙煎は、湿度が16%RH以上50%RH以下で、1気圧の環境で行うのが好ましい。また、焙煎時間は、茶葉原料の色や香気の変化に着目しながら、好みに応じて調整するのが好ましい。 The roasting temperature is preferably 100 ° C. or higher and 180 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 160 ° C. or higher and 180 ° C. or lower. That is, roasting within the range of 100 ° C. or higher and 180 ° C. or lower is effective in reducing the bitter taste of powdered tea, and roasting within the range of 160 ° C. or higher and 180 ° C. or lower is effective for scenting powdered tea. It is effective in increasing the height. The roasting time varies depending on the roasting temperature, but when roasting is performed within the range of 100 ° C. or more and less than 160 ° C., the length is preferably 3 minutes or more and 30 minutes or less, and 160 ° C. or more When roasting within a range of 180 ° C. or lower, the length is preferably 2 minutes or longer and 20 minutes or shorter. In addition, the roasting is preferably performed in an environment of 1 atm with a humidity of 16% RH or more and 50% RH or less.

(3)焙煎前の碾茶中のテアニンの含有率を70%以上減少させないこと
碾茶を上記(1)の要件を満たすように焙煎することにより、得られる粉末茶は、タンニンの含有量が少なく苦渋味のないものとなり、カテキン酸化物生成により、とろみの軽減となる。上記(2)の要件を満たすように焙煎することにより、得られる粉末茶は、カフェインの含有率が少なく苦みのない幼児、子供、老人、不眠症者等でも飲用可能なものとなり、上記(3)の要件を満たすように焙煎することにより、得られる粉末茶は、テアニンによる茶本来の旨味と、焙煎によって生じたアミノカルボニル反応生成物による旨味とを有するものとなる。なお、焙煎は、焙煎前の碾茶中のタンニンおよび/またはカフェインの含有率を50%以上減少させるものであるとより好ましい。
Furthermore, it is more preferable that roasting satisfies the following requirements (1) to (3).
(1) Reduce the content of tannin in the tea before roasting by 40% or more (2) Reduce the content of caffeine in the tea before roast by 40% or more (3) Before roasting Do not reduce the content of theanine in the tea by more than 70%
By roasting koji tea so as to satisfy the above requirement (1), the resulting powdered tea has a low tannin content and no bitterness and astringency is reduced by catechin oxide formation. By roasting so as to satisfy the requirement of (2) above, the resulting powdered tea can be drunk even by infants, children, elderly people, insomnia, etc. with low caffeine content and no bitterness. By roasting so as to satisfy the requirement of (3), the obtained powdered tea has the original umami taste of theanine and the umami taste of the aminocarbonyl reaction product produced by roasting. The roasting is more preferably performed by reducing the content of tannin and / or caffeine in the tea before roasting by 50% or more.
一方、焙煎後の碾茶の細粉砕は、湿度16%RH〜50%RHで10℃以上20℃以下の恒温恒湿条件下で行うのが好ましい。加えて、当該細粉砕は、手挽き用石臼や電動式挽臼を用いて行うことも可能であるし、各種のミルを用いて行うことも可能である。 On the other hand, fine pulverization of roasted tea after roasting is preferably performed under a constant temperature and humidity condition of 10 ° C. to 20 ° C. at a humidity of 16% RH to 50% RH. In addition, the fine pulverization can be performed using a hand grinding mill or an electric mill, or can be performed using various mills.
また、本発明に係る粉末茶の製造方法は、焙煎前の碾茶中の全遊離アミノ酸の含有率が2.5%以上6.2%以下であり、かつ、タンニンの含有率が7.0%以上13%以下である場合、碾茶が、所謂、“高級な緑茶や抹茶”ではない場合に、特に、焙煎によって得られる効果が大きく、苦渋味の低減、焙煎香気やとろみが気にならないすっきり、あっさりした滋味の増加に大きく寄与することが可能となる。

表1から、焙煎処理を施した実施例1〜8の粉末茶は、香り、滋味、苦渋味とも良好で、とろみが低減した飲用に好適なものであることが分かる。さらに、焙煎温度を110℃〜180℃に調整した実施例2〜4,6〜8の粉末茶は、香り、滋味、苦渋味、とろみ低減とも特に良好であることが分かる。また、焙煎処理を施した実施例1〜4の粉末茶(碾茶を原料とするもの)は、80℃で焙煎処理した実施例1を除いて、焙煎前の茶葉(比較例1)に比べて、タンニンの含有率が40%以上減少し、カフェインの含有率が40%以上減少しているとともに、テアニンの含有率が70%以上減少していないことが分かる。また、抹茶に焙煎処理を施した実施例6、7の粉末茶も、実施例2〜4の粉末茶と同様に、焙煎前の茶葉に比べて、タンニンの含有率が40%以上減少し、カフェインの含有率が40%以上減少しているとともに、テアニンの含有率が70%以上減少していないことが分かる。さらに、焙煎処理を施した実施例8の粉末茶(茎茶を原料とするもの)も、実施例2〜4の粉末茶と同様に、焙煎前の茶葉に比べて、タンニンの含有率が40%以上減少し、カフェインの含有率が40%以上減少しているとともに、テアニンの含有率が70%以上減少していないことが分かる。なお、100℃以下で焙煎した焙煎温度80℃の実施例1の粉末茶は、タンニン、カフェイン、およびテアニンの含有率に大きな変化が見られないことが分かる。さらに、焙煎温度を110℃〜200℃に調整した実施例2〜8の粉末茶においては、カテキン酸化物の増加が認められ、とろみの低減と対応することが分かる。 From Table 1, it can be seen that the powdered teas of Examples 1 to 8 subjected to the roasting treatment are good in aroma, nourishment and bitterness and are suitable for drinking with reduced thickening. Furthermore, it turns out that the powder tea of Examples 2-4, 6-8 which adjusted the roasting temperature to 110 to 180 degreeC is especially favorable also in aroma | smelling, nourishment, bitterness and astringency reduction. In addition, the powdered teas of Examples 1 to 4 subjected to the roasting treatment (those made from tea tea as a raw material) were tea leaves before roasting (Comparative Example 1) except for Example 1 which was roasted at 80 ° C. Compared to the above, it can be seen that the tannin content is reduced by 40% or more, the caffeine content is reduced by 40% or more, and the theanine content is not reduced by 70% or more. In addition, the powdered teas of Examples 6 and 7 in which matcha was roasted were also reduced by 40% or more in tannin content compared to the tea leaves before roasting, similar to the powdered teas of Examples 2 to 4. It can be seen that the content of caffeine is reduced by 40% or more and the content of theanine is not reduced by 70% or more. Furthermore, the powdered tea of Example 8 (which uses stem tea as a raw material) subjected to the roasting treatment also has a tannin content as compared with the tea leaves before roasting, similar to the powdered tea of Examples 2-4. Is reduced by 40% or more, the caffeine content is reduced by 40% or more, and the theanine content is not reduced by 70% or more. In addition, it turns out that the powder tea of Example 1 whose roasting temperature is 80 degreeC roasted at 100 degrees C or less does not show a big change in the content rate of a tannin, caffeine, and theanine. Furthermore, in the powder teas of Examples 2 to 8 in which the roasting temperature was adjusted to 110 ° C. to 200 ° C., an increase in catechin oxide was observed, which indicates that this corresponds to a reduction in thickening.
それに比べて、茶葉に焙煎処理を施さなかった比較例1〜3の粉末茶は、滋味、苦渋味とも不良で、粉末茶としての飲用には不向きであることが分かる。また、焙煎処理を施さなかった比較例1〜3の粉末茶は、タンニン、カフェイン、テアニン、およびカテキン酸化物の含有率に大きな変化が見られないことが分かる。 In comparison, it can be seen that the powdered teas of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 in which the tea leaves were not roasted were poor in both taste and bitterness and unsuitable for drinking as powdered tea. Moreover, it turns out that the powder tea of Comparative Examples 1-3 which did not perform a roasting process does not show a big change in the content rate of a tannin, caffeine, theanine, and a catechin oxide.
本発明の焙煎工程を有する粉末茶の製造方法は、上記の如く優れた効果を奏するものであるから、安価な碾茶、抹茶や茎茶を美味しく飲み易い粉末茶に変える方法として好適に用いることができる。 Since the method for producing powdered tea having the roasting process of the present invention has excellent effects as described above, it is preferably used as a method for changing inexpensive tea, matcha tea and stem tea to powder tea that is delicious and easy to drink. Can do.
