[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement in a method for extracting oolong tea. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improvement in the method for extracting oolong tea in the production of an oolong tea drink. [Prior art] Conventionally, in producing soluble powdered tea, there have been methods of extracting tea leaves with pure water, a phosphate buffer solution, or a phosphate/citrate buffer solution (Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-4307);
and a method of extracting tea leaves with water containing a metal salt with a higher ionization voltage than iron, such as sodium polyphosphate, and a chelating agent, such as alum (Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-21643)
It has been known. In addition, in the production of oolong tea drinks, PH
There is also a method of extracting oolong tea leaves with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate prepared to a concentration of 7.0 to 8.0. (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-16649). All of these are intended to prevent the extract from becoming acidic or extremely basic. In addition, when extracting black tea leaves, the extract
It is known that increasing the pH will reduce the amount of precipitate (cream) produced when the extract is cooled, and in JP-A-16696-16696, a hot infusion solution for tea was developed to eliminate this precipitate. It has been described that salts (including carbonates) of various metals (including sodium) are added to. However, there are still no publicly known materials regarding the method of extracting oolong tea leaves with a high pH aqueous solution of PH8.0 or higher, and furthermore, there is no known material regarding the method of extracting oolong tea leaves with a high pH aqueous solution, and furthermore, there is no information regarding the color tone, aroma, and flavor of the oolong tea leaf extract extracted with a high pH aqueous solution. Other characteristics and methods for preparing oolong tea drinks using the extract are completely unknown. The present inventors focused on these points and completed the present invention as a result of intensive research. [Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to efficiently extract useful substances from oolong tea leaves and to provide an oolong tea drink with excellent flavor. [Structure of the Invention] The present invention involves extracting oolong tea in a short time using a heated sodium carbonate aqueous solution adjusted to pH 8.0 to 10.5, cooling it rapidly, adjusting the color tone with ascorbic acid, and extracting hydrogen carbonate. PH6.0 to 6.5 with sodium
This is a method for extracting oolong tea, which is characterized by adjusting the oolong tea. [Specific explanation of the structure and effects of the invention] Oolong tea is usually extracted with hot water, but in this case, the pH is weakly acidic at 6 to 7, so if extracted for a short time, the tea will have a reddish color tone. , yields an extract with a slightly fragrant aroma and taste, a strong yellowish color, and a slightly bluish aroma and taste (similar to green tea). In addition, if the extraction temperature is raised or the extraction time is lengthened, the color tone etc. will be improved to some extent, but the taste will be astringent and harsh, and the flavor will be reduced. When extracted with a heated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, the pH becomes 7.0 to 8.3, and an extract with a stronger red color and slightly fragrant aroma and taste is obtained than when extracted with hot water, but it is not suitable for use as an oolong tea drink. was not always sufficient. In the present invention, by using sodium carbonate in the extract and raising the pH to 8.0 to 10.5, we can create an infusion that has a strong reddish color tone that is more typical of oolong tea, a fragrant aroma and taste, and a moderate astringency and flavor. Obtainable. One specific condition for the oolong tea extraction method of the present invention is as follows. Before extraction, add 0.001 sodium carbonate per 100g of water.
g to 0.08 g. The size of the oolong tea leaves also has some influence on the extraction conditions, but if you remove powdered tea (dust) using a regular sieve, you can prevent clogging and other troubles during filtration. The appropriate temperature for the extract is 70 to 100°C.
When the temperature is low, the extraction time must be increased, and when the temperature is high, the extraction time must be shortened. The optimum extraction temperature is 80-95°C, and extracting with an extract at this temperature yields the best aroma and taste. The extraction time is 3 to 5 minutes, most preferably about 4 minutes. Immediately after the extraction is completed, the infused liquid is filtered from the tea leaves.
Bring the liquid temperature to 20-30℃ in a short time. L-ascorbic acid 0.01 per 100g of extract
Add ~0.05g to adjust the pH to 5.0 to 6.5, and at the same time utilize the reducing action of L-ascorbic acid.
Eliminates browning and brightens the color to your liking. After that, if the pH is lower than 6, it tastes sour, so adjust the pH to 6.0 to 6.5 using sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate. [Example] The following samples were prepared and compared in color, flavor, and extraction rate. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.
As shown in the table. Sample No. 1 Based on the method of the present invention 35 liters of ion-exchanged water was heated to 80° C., and 7 g of sodium carbonate was added and dissolved. PH of this solution
was 10.2. 1 kg of oolong tea was added to the solution at once and sufficiently infused. After 5 minutes, the used tea leaves were rapidly filtered off, and the resulting infusion liquid was rapidly cooled to 25°C using a plate cooler. After about 7 g of L-ascorbic acid was added to adjust the color tone, the pH was returned to 6.5 using about 2 g of sodium bicarbonate, and treated water was added to make up to 100 liters. Sample No. 2 Sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution extraction 35 liters of ion-exchanged water was heated to 80°C, and 35 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate was added and dissolved. The pH of this solution was 8.2. 1kg of oolong tea in the solution
was added all at once and allowed to sufficiently infuse. After 5 minutes, the used tea leaves were rapidly filtered off, and the resulting infusion liquid was rapidly cooled to 25°C using a plate cooler. After adding about 20g of L-ascorbic acid, add treated water.
100 liters. Sample No. 3 Hot water extraction 35 liters of ion-exchanged water was heated to 80℃ (PH
6.3), 1 kg of oolong tea was added at once and allowed to infuse sufficiently. After 5 minutes, the used tea leaves were rapidly filtered off, and the resulting infusion liquid was rapidly cooled to 25°C using a plate cooler, and treated water was added to make 100 liters.
