分散性に優れた造粒粉末茶葉が提供される。   A granulated powder tea leaf having excellent dispersibility is provided.

造粒粉末茶葉は、平均粒子径が100μm以上であることが良好な分散性を有するという観点で好ましい。平均粒子径は、後述する実施例の項に記載された湿式の手法によって測定される。分散性は、造粒粉末茶葉の水(又は湯)への分散し易さを表す用語として使用され、例えば、実施例に記載された方法で評価される。   The granulated powder tea leaves preferably have an average particle size of 100 μm or more from the viewpoint of good dispersibility. The average particle size is measured by a wet method described in the Examples section described later. Dispersibility is used as a term indicating the ease of dispersion of granulated powdered tea leaves into water (or hot water), and is evaluated, for example, by the method described in the Examples.

一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉の平均粒子径は、125μm以上、150μm以上、175μm以上、190μm以上、200μm以上、225μm以上、250μm以上、又は300μm以上であることが好ましい。一実施形態において、平均粒子径は、400μm以下であることが好ましく、375μm以下、350μm以下、325μm以下、300μm以下、275μm以下、250μm以下、225μm以下、又は200μm以下が好ましい。これらの平均粒子径の下限値及び上限値は任意に組み合わせることができる。例えば、一実施形態において、平均粒子径は、190μm以上400μm以下、125μm以上375μm以下、125μm以上350μm以下、125μm以上325μm以下、又は125μm以上300μm以下が好ましい。   In one embodiment, the average particle size of the granulated powder tea leaves is preferably 125 μm or more, 150 μm or more, 175 μm or more, 190 μm or more, 200 μm or more, 225 μm or more, 250 μm or more, or 300 μm or more. In one embodiment, the average particle size is preferably 400 μm or less, preferably 375 μm or less, 350 μm or less, 325 μm or less, 300 μm or less, 275 μm or less, 250 μm or less, 225 μm or less, or 200 μm or less. These lower limit and upper limit of the average particle diameter can be arbitrarily combined. For example, in one embodiment, the average particle diameter is preferably 190 μm to 400 μm, 125 μm to 375 μm, 125 μm to 350 μm, 125 μm to 325 μm, or 125 μm to 300 μm.

造粒粉末茶葉は、嵩比重が0.4g/ml以下であることが良好な分散安定性を有するという観点から好ましい。嵩比重は後述する実施例の項に記載された手法によって測定される。分散安定性に優れる造粒粉末茶葉は、水に分散した状態を長期間維持することができ、分散後に粉末茶葉粒子が沈殿ないし堆積することを遅らせること、及び/又は沈殿ないし堆積する粉末茶葉粒子の量を低減することができる。分散安定性は、例えば、後述する実施例の項に記載された手法によって評価できる。   The granulated powder tea leaves preferably have a bulk specific gravity of 0.4 g / ml or less from the viewpoint of good dispersion stability. The bulk specific gravity is measured by the method described in the section of Examples described later. Granulated powder tea leaves having excellent dispersion stability can maintain a state of being dispersed in water for a long period of time, and delay the precipitation or deposition of powdered tea leaf particles after dispersion and / or powder tea leaf particles that precipitate or accumulate. The amount of can be reduced. The dispersion stability can be evaluated by, for example, the technique described in the Examples section described later.

造粒粉末茶葉の嵩比重の下限は、特に制限されないが、例えば、0.2g/mlとすることができる。一実施形態において、嵩比重は、0.38g/ml以下、0.36g/ml以下、0.34g/ml以下、0.32g/ml以下、又は0.3g/ml以下であることが好ましい。一実施形態において、嵩比重は、0.22g/ml以上、0.24g/ml以上、0.26g/ml以上、0.27g/ml、0.28g/ml以上、0.3g/ml以上、0.32g/ml以上、又は0.34g/ml以上であることが好ましい。これらの嵩比重の上限値及び下限値は任意に組み合わせることができる。例えば、一実施形態において、嵩比重は、0.27g/ml以上0.4g/ml以下、0.27g/ml以上0.38g/ml以下、0.27g/ml以上0.36g/ml以下、又は0.27g/ml以上0.34g/ml以下が好ましい。一実施形態において、嵩比重が低いと水への分散性が低下し、特に造粒粉末茶葉の平均粒子径が小さい場合にその傾向は顕著である。平均粒子径が小さく、嵩比重が低い造粒粉末茶葉は、水に十分分散せず、水面に浮かぶ傾向がある。よって、例えば、造粒粉末茶葉の平均粒子径が120μm未満又は115μm未満である場合、嵩比重は、0.27g/ml以上、0.28g/ml以上、0.3g/ml以上、0.32g/ml以上、又は0.34g/ml以上であることが好ましい。   The lower limit of the bulk specific gravity of the granulated powdered tea leaves is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 0.2 g / ml. In one embodiment, the bulk specific gravity is preferably 0.38 g / ml or less, 0.36 g / ml or less, 0.34 g / ml or less, 0.32 g / ml or less, or 0.3 g / ml or less. In one embodiment, the bulk specific gravity is 0.22 g / ml or more, 0.24 g / ml or more, 0.26 g / ml or more, 0.27 g / ml, 0.28 g / ml or more, 0.3 g / ml or more, It is preferably 0.32 g / ml or more, or 0.34 g / ml or more. These upper and lower limits of bulk specific gravity can be arbitrarily combined. For example, in one embodiment, the bulk specific gravity is 0.27 g / ml to 0.4 g / ml, 0.27 g / ml to 0.38 g / ml, 0.27 g / ml to 0.36 g / ml, Or 0.27 g / ml or more and 0.34 g / ml or less are preferable. In one embodiment, when the bulk specific gravity is low, the dispersibility in water is lowered, and this tendency is remarkable particularly when the average particle diameter of the granulated powder tea leaves is small. Granulated powder tea leaves with a small average particle size and low bulk specific gravity are not sufficiently dispersed in water and tend to float on the water surface. Therefore, for example, when the average particle size of the granulated powder tea leaves is less than 120 μm or less than 115 μm, the bulk specific gravity is 0.27 g / ml or more, 0.28 g / ml or more, 0.3 g / ml or more, 0.32 g. / Ml or more, or 0.34 g / ml or more is preferable.

上述の好ましい平均粒子径の値又は範囲と好ましい嵩比重の値又は範囲は任意に組み合わせることができる。   The preferred average particle diameter value or range described above and the preferred bulk specific gravity value or range can be arbitrarily combined.

造粒粉末茶葉を構成する粉末茶葉の種類は特に制限されないが、緑茶の茶葉であることが好ましい。緑茶とは、摘み取った茶葉を加熱して酸化酵素を破壊し、乾燥した、発酵されていない茶である。緑茶は、加工方法や栽培方法の違いにより、玉露、かぶせ茶、煎茶、番茶、碾茶、抹茶、玉緑茶、ほうじ茶、及び釜炒り茶等に分類される。一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、これらの一種又は2種以上を原料とすることが好ましい。一実施形態において、原料として好ましい緑茶は、抹茶である。一実施形態において、水分を除き、造粒粉末茶葉は抹茶のみで構成されていることが好ましい。   The type of the powdered tea leaves constituting the granulated powdered tea leaves is not particularly limited, but is preferably a green tea tea leaf. Green tea is unfermented tea that is dried and dried by heating the picked tea leaves to destroy the oxidase. Green tea is classified into gyokuro, kabuse tea, sencha, bancha, strawberry tea, matcha tea, tama green tea, roasted tea, and kettle roasted tea according to differences in processing methods and cultivation methods. In one embodiment, the granulated powdered tea leaves are preferably made from one or more of these raw materials. In one embodiment, the preferred green tea as a raw material is matcha. In one embodiment, it is preferable that the granulated powder tea leaves are composed only of matcha tea, excluding moisture.

造粒粉末茶葉の原料として用いられる粉末茶葉の平均粒子径は、特に制限されず、例えば、45μm以下であることが好ましい。一実施形態において、粉末茶葉の平均粒子径は、40μm以下、35μm以下、又は30μm以下であることが好ましく、3μm以上又は5μm以上であることが好ましい。原料として用いる粉末茶葉の平均粒子径の下限は特に制限されないが、例えば、1μm以上とすることができる。粉末茶葉の平均粒子径は、後述する実施例の項に記載された湿式の手法によって測定することができる。   The average particle size of the powdered tea leaves used as a raw material for the granulated powdered tea leaves is not particularly limited, and is preferably 45 μm or less, for example. In one embodiment, the average particle size of the powdered tea leaves is preferably 40 μm or less, 35 μm or less, or 30 μm or less, and preferably 3 μm or more or 5 μm or more. The lower limit of the average particle size of the powdered tea leaves used as the raw material is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1 μm or more.

The water content of the powdered tea leaves can be measured by the technique described in the Examples section described later.

造粒粉末茶葉の原料として用いる粉末茶葉は、商業的に入手することが可能であり、公知の手法を用いて作製することも可能である。   The powdered tea leaves used as a raw material for the granulated powdered tea leaves can be obtained commercially, and can also be produced using a known method.

一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、実質的に粉末茶葉のみで構成されていることが好ましい。具体的には、造粒粉末茶葉は、粉末茶葉を80質量%以上、85質量%以上、90質量%以上、95質量%以上、96質量%以上、97質量%以上、98質量%以上、99質量%以上、又は100質量%含むことが好ましい。造粒粉末茶葉における粉末茶葉の含有量は、乾燥工程を経た造粒粉末茶葉中に不可避的に残存している水の量を除いて算出される。一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、実質的に粉末茶葉のみで構成されながら、分散性及び分散安定性に優れている。   In one embodiment, it is preferable that the granulated powder tea leaves are substantially composed only of powder tea leaves. Specifically, the granulated powdered tea leaves are 80% by weight or more, 85% by weight or more, 90% by weight or more, 95% by weight or more, 96% by weight or more, 97% by weight or more, 98% by weight or more, 99% by weight, or 99% by weight. It is preferable to contain at least 100% by mass or 100% by mass. The content of the powdered tea leaves in the granulated powdered tea leaves is calculated by excluding the amount of water that inevitably remains in the granulated powdered tea leaves after the drying process. In one embodiment, the granulated powdered tea leaves are excellent in dispersibility and dispersion stability while being substantially composed only of powdered tea leaves.

一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、粉末茶葉及び水以外の他の成分を含んでいてもよく、含んでいなくてもよい。他の成分としては、例えば、茶抽出物、賦形剤、添加剤等を挙げることができる。一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は他の成分を含まないことが好ましい。一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉が茶抽出物を含む場合、茶抽出物の含量は、20質量%以下、15質量%以下、10質量%以下、5質量%以下、3質量%以下、2質量%以下、又は1質量%以下であることが好ましい。   In one embodiment, the granulated powdered tea leaf may or may not contain other components other than the powdered tea leaf and water. Examples of other components include tea extract, excipients, additives and the like. In one embodiment, the granulated powder tea leaves preferably do not contain other ingredients. In one embodiment, when the granulated powder tea leaves contain a tea extract, the content of the tea extract is 20% by mass or less, 15% by mass or less, 10% by mass or less, 5% by mass or less, 3% by mass or less, 2 It is preferable that it is 1 mass% or less, or 1 mass% or less.

賦形剤の種類は特に制限されず、例えば、糖類(果糖、ブドウ糖、ソルビトール、キシリトール、エリスリトール、マンニトール、マルチトール、ラクチトール、タガトース、アラビノース等)、増粘多糖類(ペクチン、グァーガム、キサンタンガム、カラギーナン、ローカストビーンガム等)、でん粉、及びでん粉分解物(例えば、デキストリン、マルトデキストリン、サイクロデキストリン等)などを挙げることができる。賦形剤は、1種のみを用いてもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。一実施形態において、好ましい賦形剤は、デキストリンである。造粒粉末茶葉が賦形剤を含有する場合、その含有量は5質量%未満、4質量%未満、3質量%未満、2質量%未満、1質量%未満、又は0.5質量%未満であることが好ましい。   The type of excipient is not particularly limited. For example, sugar (fructose, glucose, sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, mannitol, maltitol, lactitol, tagatose, arabinose, etc.), thickening polysaccharide (pectin, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan) , Locust bean gum, etc.), starch, and starch degradation products (eg, dextrin, maltodextrin, cyclodextrin, etc.). Only one type of excipient may be used, or two or more types may be used in combination. In one embodiment, the preferred excipient is dextrin. When the granulated powder tea leaves contain excipients, the content is less than 5% by weight, less than 4% by weight, less than 3% by weight, less than 2% by weight, less than 1% by weight, or less than 0.5% by weight. Preferably there is.

添加剤としては、例えば、酸化防止剤、香料、色素、保存料、調味料、アミノ酸、たんぱく質、植物油脂、有機酸、無機塩、pH調整剤、及び品質安定剤等を挙げることができる。これらは1種のみを用いてもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。   Examples of the additive include an antioxidant, a fragrance, a pigment, a preservative, a seasoning, an amino acid, a protein, a vegetable oil, an organic acid, an inorganic salt, a pH adjuster, and a quality stabilizer. These may use only 1 type and may use it in combination of 2 or more type.

一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、上述の賦形剤及び/又は添加剤を含んでいないことが好ましい。賦形剤及び/又は添加剤を含んでいないとは、これらの含有量が検出限界量未満であることを意味する。   In one embodiment, the granulated powder tea leaves preferably do not contain the excipients and / or additives described above. The fact that no excipients and / or additives are contained means that their content is less than the detection limit.

造粒粉末茶葉は、粉末茶葉並びに必要に応じて用いられる賦形剤及び/又は添加剤を用いて、任意の造粒方法で製造することができるが、所望の平均粒子径及び嵩比重を有するように調整し易いという観点で流動層造粒法を用いて製造することが好ましい。   Granulated powdered tea leaves can be produced by any granulation method using powdered tea leaves and excipients and / or additives used as necessary, but have a desired average particle size and bulk specific gravity. Thus, it is preferable to produce using a fluidized bed granulation method from the viewpoint of easy adjustment.

流動層造粒法で造粒粉末茶葉を製造する場合、市場で入手可能な任意の流動層造粒装置を用い、各種パラメータを設定することにより製造することができる。   When producing granulated powdered tea leaves by the fluidized bed granulation method, it can be produced by setting various parameters using any fluidized bed granulator available on the market.

原料として用いる粉末茶葉の量は、目的や使用する装置のスケールに応じて適宜設定することができる。   The amount of the powdered tea leaves used as the raw material can be appropriately set according to the purpose and the scale of the apparatus used.

一実施形態において、装置への給気温度は、所望の造粒粉末茶葉が得られる限り特に制限されない。例えば、良好な分散安定性を有する造粒粉末茶葉を得るためには、給気温度は45度以上105度以下が好ましく、50度以上100度以下、又は60度以上90度以下がより好ましい。給気温度がこの範囲よりも著しく低いと、粒子がダマ状となり、分散安定性を低下させる場合がある。給気温度は、造粒中に変化させることができる。一実施形態において、給気温度は造粒中に一定であることが好ましく、例えば、60度以上100度以下が好ましく、70度以上90度以下であることが好ましい。一実施形態において、給気温度は、造粒中に変化させることが好ましく、例えば、比較的低い温度(例えば、45度以上60度以下)で造粒を開始し、途中で比較的高い温度(例えば、80度以上100度以下)に変更することが好ましい。   In one embodiment, the supply air temperature to the apparatus is not particularly limited as long as the desired granulated powdered tea leaves are obtained. For example, in order to obtain a granulated powder tea leaf having good dispersion stability, the air supply temperature is preferably 45 ° C. or more and 105 ° C. or less, more preferably 50 ° C. or more and 100 ° C. or less, or 60 ° C. or more and 90 ° C. or less. If the supply air temperature is significantly lower than this range, the particles become lumpy and the dispersion stability may be lowered. The supply air temperature can be changed during granulation. In one embodiment, the supply air temperature is preferably constant during granulation, for example, preferably 60 degrees to 100 degrees, and more preferably 70 degrees to 90 degrees. In one embodiment, the supply air temperature is preferably changed during granulation. For example, granulation is started at a relatively low temperature (for example, 45 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less), and a relatively high temperature ( For example, it is preferable to change to 80 degrees or more and 100 degrees or less.

装置への給気速度は、粉末茶葉の流動状態、水分上昇率、及び最終水分量等のバランスを考慮して適宜設定することができる。粒子径が大きくなるに従い、粒子は流動し難くなるため、風速を上げることが好ましい。一方、未造粒の粉末茶(微粒子)の場合は、茶葉が舞いやすく、速い速度で給気すると排風フィルターが詰まりやすくなる。よって、必要に応じて、給気速度を調節しながら造粒することが好ましい。   The air supply speed to the apparatus can be appropriately set in consideration of the balance of the flow state of the powdered tea leaves, the water increase rate, the final water content and the like. As the particle diameter increases, the particles are less likely to flow. On the other hand, in the case of non-granulated powdered tea (fine particles), the tea leaves are likely to fly, and if the air is supplied at a high speed, the exhaust filter is likely to be clogged. Therefore, it is preferable to perform granulation while adjusting the air supply speed as necessary.

バインダー液は、水または水に粉末茶葉及び/又は茶抽出物を分散/溶解させたものを用いることが好ましい。一実施形態において、バインダー液の温度は、常温(例えば、5度以上35度以下、又は15度以上30度以下)が好ましく、加熱していないものが好ましい。加熱していないバインダー液は、粉末茶葉(特に、バインダーに分散させる粉末茶葉)の品質を良好に維持する観点で好ましい。   The binder liquid is preferably water or water in which powdered tea leaves and / or tea extract are dispersed / dissolved. In one embodiment, the temperature of the binder liquid is preferably room temperature (for example, 5 degrees to 35 degrees or 15 degrees to 30 degrees), and preferably not heated. An unheated binder liquid is preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining good quality of powdered tea leaves (particularly, powdered tea leaves dispersed in a binder).

一実施形態において、バインダー液として、水に粉末茶葉を分散させたものを用いることが所望の平均粒子径を有する造粒粉末茶葉を得るために好ましい。粉末茶葉(又はそれから浸出した成分)が粒子同士の結着補助剤として機能するためである。水に分散させる粉末茶葉の量は、乾燥重量換算で造粒粉末茶葉の3%以上20%以下、又は5%以上15%以下の割合であることが好ましい。分散させる粉末茶葉の種類は特に制限されないが、原料として用いる粉末茶葉と同じであることが好ましい。   In one embodiment, it is preferable to obtain a granulated powdered tea leaf having a desired average particle diameter by using a binder liquid in which powdered tea leaves are dispersed in water. This is because the powdered tea leaves (or components leached therefrom) function as a binding aid between the particles. The amount of powdered tea leaves dispersed in water is preferably 3% or more and 20% or less, or 5% or more and 15% or less of the granulated powdered tea leaves in terms of dry weight. The type of powder tea leaves to be dispersed is not particularly limited, but is preferably the same as the powder tea leaves used as a raw material.

一実施形態において、バインダー液として、水に茶抽出物を配合したものを用いることが所望の平均粒子径を有する造粒粉末茶葉を得るために好ましい。茶抽出物が粒子同士の結着補助剤として機能するためである。茶抽出物の種類は特に制限されないが、緑茶の抽出物、例えば、造粒の原料として用いる粉末茶葉の抽出物であることが好ましい。抽出物を得るための溶媒は、特に制限されないが、水やエタノール等のアルコールを用いることができる。一実施形態において、溶媒は水であることが好ましい。例えば、茶抽出物は、茶葉(例えば、粉末茶葉)を水に添加し、必要に応じて撹拌しながら所定の時間かけて茶葉の成分を水等の溶媒に溶出させた後、濾過又は遠心分離によって茶葉を取り除き、濃縮及び/又は乾燥させることによって得ることができる。溶媒は加温されたもの(例えば、30度以上90度以下)であってもよい。水に配合する茶抽出物の量は、例えば、乾燥重量換算で造粒粉末茶葉の3%以上20%以下、又は5%以上15%以下の割合であることが好ましい。このような茶抽出物は、原料として用いる粉末茶葉に配合されていてもよい。   In one embodiment, it is preferable to use a blended tea extract with water as the binder liquid in order to obtain granulated powdered tea leaves having a desired average particle size. This is because the tea extract functions as a binding aid between particles. The type of tea extract is not particularly limited, but is preferably an extract of green tea, for example, an extract of powdered tea leaves used as a raw material for granulation. The solvent for obtaining the extract is not particularly limited, but alcohol such as water or ethanol can be used. In one embodiment, the solvent is preferably water. For example, a tea extract is prepared by adding tea leaves (for example, powdered tea leaves) to water, eluting the components of the tea leaves in a solvent such as water over a predetermined time while stirring, if necessary, and then filtering or centrifuging. Can be obtained by removing the tea leaves and concentrating and / or drying. The solvent may be heated (for example, 30 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less). The amount of tea extract to be blended in water is preferably, for example, a ratio of 3% to 20%, or 5% to 15% of the granulated powdered tea leaves in terms of dry weight. Such a tea extract may be blended in powdered tea leaves used as a raw material.

一実施形態において、バインダー液は、粉末茶葉及び茶抽出物が分散/溶解されたものであることが好ましい。この場合、水に配合する粉末茶葉及び茶抽出物の量は、これらを足し合わせた量が、乾燥重量換算で造粒粉末茶葉の3%以上20%以下、又は5%以上15%以下となるように調整されることが好ましい。   In one embodiment, the binder liquid is preferably one in which powdered tea leaves and tea extract are dispersed / dissolved. In this case, the amount of powdered tea leaves and tea extract to be mixed in water is 3% or more and 20% or less, or 5% or more and 15% or less of the granulated powdered tea leaves in terms of dry weight. It is preferable to adjust so.

一実施形態において、バインダー液は、2種類又は3種類のバインダー液を組み合わせて使用することが好ましい。ここで2種類のバインダー液とは、例えば、水と水に粉末茶葉を分散させたバインダー液を意味する。このような2種類のバインダー液を使用する場合、まず水をバインダー液として用いて造粒を行い、続いて水に粉末茶葉を分散させたバインダー液を用いて造粒させてもよく、逆の順序でバインダー液を用いてもよい。バインダー液の組み合わせは任意であり、また使用順序も特に制限されない。一実施形態において、水をバインダー液として用いた造粒をまず行い、続いて水に粉末茶葉及び茶抽出物を分散・溶解させたバインダー液を用いた造粒を行うことが好ましい。   In one embodiment, the binder liquid is preferably used in combination of two or three kinds of binder liquids. Here, the two types of binder liquids mean, for example, binder liquids in which powdered tea leaves are dispersed in water and water. When using these two types of binder liquids, granulation may be performed first using water as a binder liquid, followed by granulation using a binder liquid in which powdered tea leaves are dispersed in water. Binder liquids may be used in order. The combination of binder liquids is arbitrary, and the order of use is not particularly limited. In one embodiment, it is preferable to first perform granulation using water as a binder liquid, and then perform granulation using a binder liquid in which powdered tea leaves and tea extract are dispersed and dissolved in water.

バインダー液は、上述の賦形剤及び/又は添加剤を含んでいてもよい。一実施形態において、バインダー液は、賦形剤及び/又は添加剤を含まないことが好ましい。   The binder liquid may contain the above-mentioned excipients and / or additives. In one embodiment, the binder liquid preferably contains no excipients and / or additives.

バインダー液の量は、目的とする造粒粉末茶葉の平均粒径等に応じて設計することができる。例えば、バインダー液の量は、重量換算で、原料として用いる粉末茶葉の量の30%以上、好ましくは40%以上又は50%以上であることが好ましい。   The amount of the binder liquid can be designed according to the average particle diameter of the intended granulated powder tea leaves. For example, the amount of the binder liquid is preferably 30% or more, preferably 40% or more, or 50% or more of the amount of powdered tea leaves used as a raw material in terms of weight.

バインダー液の噴霧速度は、特に制限されず、例えば、乾燥工程に供する造粒物に水分含量が15重量%以上、好ましくは20重量%以上となるように設計することが好ましい。一実施形態において、バインダー液の噴霧速度は、粉末茶葉の水分上昇速度が1重量%/分未満、0.9重量%/分未満、0.8重量%/分未満、0.7重量%/分未満となるように調整することが好ましい。水分上昇速度の下限は、特に制限されないが、例えば、0.1重量%/分以上とすることができる。ここで、水分上昇速度とは、次式によって求められる:水分上昇速度(%)=(バインダー液の噴霧終了時の造粒粉末茶葉の水分量(%)−バインダー液を噴霧する前の原料粉末茶葉の水分量(%))/バインダー液の噴霧時間(分)。上述のように、バインダー液の噴霧を途中で中断する場合、「バインダー液の噴霧時間(分)」に中断時間も含まれるものとする。水分上昇速度をこのように調整することは、嵩密度を所望の範囲に調節し、分散安定性に優れた造粒粉末茶葉を得るという観点で好ましい。   The spray rate of the binder liquid is not particularly limited, and for example, it is preferable to design the granulated product to be subjected to the drying step so that the water content is 15% by weight or more, preferably 20% by weight or more. In one embodiment, the spray rate of the binder liquid is such that the rate of water rise in the powdered tea leaves is less than 1 wt% / min, less than 0.9 wt% / min, less than 0.8 wt% / min, 0.7 wt% / min. It is preferable to adjust so that it may be less than a minute. The lower limit of the moisture increase rate is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 0.1% by weight / min or more. Here, the moisture increase rate is obtained by the following formula: moisture increase rate (%) = (moisture content (%) of granulated powder tea leaf at the end of spraying of the binder liquid) -raw material powder before spraying the binder liquid Water content of tea leaves (%)) / Binder spray time (min). As described above, when the spraying of the binder liquid is interrupted halfway, the “spraying time (minutes) of the binder liquid” includes the interrupting time. Adjusting the moisture increase rate in this way is preferable from the viewpoint of adjusting the bulk density to a desired range and obtaining granulated powder tea leaves having excellent dispersion stability.

バインダー液の噴霧は、バインダー液を全量噴霧するまで連続的に行ってもよく、所定の時間噴霧後に所定の時間噴霧を中断するというサイクルを所定の回数繰り返して行ってもよい。例えば、中断は、造粒中にブロッキングが生じるのを回避するために設けることができる。また、中断は、造粒装置の設計上必要な場合もある。   Spraying of the binder liquid may be performed continuously until the entire amount of binder liquid is sprayed, or a cycle of spraying for a predetermined time after spraying for a predetermined time may be repeated a predetermined number of times. For example, an interruption can be provided to avoid blocking during granulation. In addition, interruption may be necessary in the design of the granulator.

バインダー液の噴霧後、必要に応じて、造粒粉末茶葉を乾燥させることが好ましい。乾燥は、例えば、造粒粉末茶葉の品温が40℃以上になるように、約100℃の空気を給気することで行うことができる。乾燥は、造粒粉末茶葉の水分量が、例えば5重量%以下になるまで行うことが好ましい。   After spraying the binder liquid, it is preferable to dry the granulated powdered tea leaves as necessary. Drying can be performed, for example, by supplying air at about 100 ° C. so that the product temperature of the granulated powdered tea leaves is 40 ° C. or higher. Drying is preferably performed until the water content of the granulated powdered tea leaves is, for example, 5% by weight or less.

得られた造粒粉末茶葉は、必要に応じて整粒し、所望の容器に充填することができる。一実施形態において、造粒粉末茶葉は、スティック包装又はピロー包装された形態であることが好ましい。   The obtained granulated powder tea leaves can be sized as required and filled into a desired container. In one embodiment, the granulated powder tea leaves are preferably in the form of stick packaging or pillow packaging.

以下、実施例により本発明についてさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらに制限されるものではない。   EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention further in detail, this invention is not restrict | limited to these.

製造例1〜16で得た造粒粉末茶葉の平均粒子径、嵩比重、分散性、及び分散安定性を下記表に示す。   The average particle diameter, bulk specific gravity, dispersibility, and dispersion stability of the granulated powder tea leaves obtained in Production Examples 1 to 16 are shown in the following table.

Figure 0006621125
Figure 0006621125

表1に示されるとおり、製造例1〜11及び14〜16の造粒粉末茶葉は、分散性試験において、ダマが全く観察されず、水への分散性に優れることが確認された。一方で、製造例12の造粒粉末茶葉では、5mm以上の大きなダマが形成され、製造例13では5mm未満ではあるが明らかなダマが見られ、分散性は不十分であることが確認された。製造例1〜11及び14〜16の造粒粉末茶葉は、製造例12〜13の造粒粉末茶葉よりも、平均粒子径が大きいことにより、十分な分散性が発揮されると考えられる。これは、理論に拘束される訳ではないが、粒子径が大きくなることにより、粒子同士の静電気による引き合いよりも粒子自体の持つ運動エネルギーが大きくなり、また粒子と粒子の間に隙間が生じることにより、水中で分散し易くなるためと考えられる。製造例14〜16の造粒粉末茶葉は水に分散したのち短時間で粉末茶が沈降し、容器の底に堆積するため、分散安定性が十分ではないことが確認された。一方、製造例1〜11の造粒粉末茶葉は、水に分散した後の茶粒子の沈降が有意に遅く、分散性に優れるだけでなく、分散安定性にも優れることが確認された。尚、製造例12及び13については、ダマが形成されたため、分散安定性については評価しなかった。製造例1〜11と製造例14〜16との比較から、造粒粉末茶葉の嵩比重が小さいことが製造例1〜11の良好な分散安定性に寄与し、製造例14〜16の造粒粉末茶は、嵩比重が大きいことにより、粒子の沈降が早いことが分かる。嵩比重が低い(密度が低い)ことにより、粒子間に水が浸透し易く、造粒によって結着されていたものが崩れ、より元の茶粒子に近い粒子が水中で分散し易くなると考えられる。一方、製造例14〜16の造粒粉末茶葉は、嵩比重が大きい(つまり、より圧密された硬い造粒物が形成されている)ため、水が粒子間に浸透し難く、水中で一応の分散はするものの、造粒により結着された構造が完全には崩壊せず、その結果沈殿速度が速くなると考えられる。   As shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that the granulated powder tea leaves of Production Examples 1 to 11 and 14 to 16 were excellent in dispersibility in water with no lumps observed in the dispersibility test. On the other hand, in the granulated powder tea leaves of Production Example 12, large lumps of 5 mm or more were formed, and in Production Example 13, obvious lumps were observed although it was less than 5 mm, and it was confirmed that the dispersibility was insufficient. . The granulated powder tea leaves of Production Examples 1 to 11 and 14 to 16 are considered to exhibit sufficient dispersibility due to the larger average particle diameter than the granulated powder tea leaves of Production Examples 12 to 13. This is not limited by theory, but as the particle size increases, the kinetic energy of the particle itself becomes larger than the electrostatic attraction between the particles, and a gap is created between the particles. Therefore, it is considered that it becomes easy to disperse in water. Since the granulated powdered tea leaves of Production Examples 14 to 16 were dispersed in water and powdered tea settled in a short time and deposited on the bottom of the container, it was confirmed that the dispersion stability was not sufficient. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the granulated powdered tea leaves of Production Examples 1 to 11 were significantly slow in settling of tea particles after being dispersed in water, and were excellent not only in dispersibility but also in dispersion stability. In Production Examples 12 and 13, because of the formation of lumps, the dispersion stability was not evaluated. From the comparison between Production Examples 1 to 11 and Production Examples 14 to 16, that the bulk specific gravity of the granulated powder tea leaves contributed to the good dispersion stability of Production Examples 1 to 11, and the granulation of Production Examples 14 to 16 It can be seen that powder tea has a fast sedimentation due to its large bulk specific gravity. Low bulk density (low density) facilitates water permeation between particles, breaks up particles bound by granulation, and makes it easier for particles closer to the original tea particles to be dispersed in water. . On the other hand, the granulated powder tea leaves of Production Examples 14 to 16 have a large bulk specific gravity (that is, a hard granulated product that is more compacted is formed), so that it is difficult for water to penetrate between the particles, Although dispersed, the structure bound by granulation is not completely destroyed, and as a result, the precipitation rate is considered to increase.
