Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a herbal tea containing longan meat in combination with other crude drugs and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various plants having some effect on the living body have been known since ancient times, and those medicinal plants are treated as herbal medicines with Chinese herbs or used as folk medicines. These herbal medicines are also divided into Chinese herbs, Chinese herbs, and Chinese herbs, which are the oldest Chinese herbal writings in China, into herbal medicines, Chinese medicines, and laxatives. It is listed, and longan meat is included in it. In addition, useful medicinal plants such as 杞 杞, longan, licorice, cinnamon, kudzu root, etc. are included.

Among them, the longan is an evergreen cypress tree of the family Murakuji, which is native to South China. The milky white pseudoseed of its spherical fruit is called longan meat. Raw longan meat is juicy and rich in sweetness, and dried products have excellent calming and nourishing and tonic effects, and are known to be effective against insomnia due to nervous breakdown, amnesia, palpitations, bleeding associated with coughing of pulmonary tuberculosis, etc. It has been used for the purpose of decocting and recovery after illness. Compared to general green tea and the like having caffeine as a main component, it has an excitatory action, whereas longan meat has a pharmacological action opposite to that. The pharmacological action of the longan meat itself is not yet clear, but the results of the component analysis table of the fresh and dried longan meat are shown in Table 1.

[0004]

[Table 1] As a Chinese herbal medicine containing Ryugan meat, a blend with Daiso is already known as Kihito, which is said to be useful for regulating blood by making active use of the weakened spleen. The combination with yellow (Shoujou, raw fertilized radix of Sesameaceae plants) and barley winter (Bakumonto, lily plants, enlarged part of the roots of mustaches) is known to supplement the lack of neural cardiac blood flow. Has been. As described above, when the longan meat itself is used as the basic tone and mixed with other crude drugs, a broader range of physiologically active effects can be expected.

[0005]

However, longan meat is collected at the place of origin and dried, and as shown in Table 1, it is about 27
Since it contains 100% of water, the dried product also shows a dried pruned shape, and it is difficult to dry and crush it further, and there is no example of this processed product such as tea that can be easily stored for a long time. . Therefore, let alone the longeye meat,
It has been difficult and impossible to commercialize it by combining longan meat with other herbal medicines so that it can be more generally taken as a daily food and drink more easily than before, and particularly without being aware of herbal medicines.

[0006] In order to serve longan meat as powdered or granular tea, it is necessary to dry it to reduce water content.
If you try to dry or roast longan meat and other herbs like ordinary crude drugs and crush and mix them, longan meat contains a large amount of sugar such as glucose, saccharose, etc. However, it has a drawback that it is difficult to carry out efficient drying, roasting, crushing, and mixing because it is sticky. Also, pulverization after drying is extremely difficult because of high hygroscopicity due to the above sugars.

Therefore, the present invention has longan meat as an essential component,
It is an object of the present invention to develop a method for producing a herbal tea that can be easily ingested in the form of daily tea or the like by combining other herbal medicines, and to provide such a herbal tea.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a medicinal herb tea containing longan meat together with at least one other herbal medicine. Further, the present invention, minced longan meat without drying or roasting, minced, and at least one other crude drug is dried or roasted and added to the minced product, and then the whole is kneaded and dispersed, The present invention also provides a method for producing a medicinal herb tea containing longan meat in combination with another crude drug by drying.

The above-mentioned at least one other crude drug is not only effective as a crude drug suitable for combination with longan meat, but also brings about a color, aroma, taste, throat, and other properties desirable for tea. The ones that can be made are good, and those that are easy to commercialize with longan meat are good. Specifically, it is effective against diuretic, stone-preventing, skin roughening-preventing yokinin (also called adlay), malt that contains digestive enzymes to give flavor, nutritious and digestive stimulants, and hypercholesterolemia. Safflower, nourishing tonic and liver disease effective bracts, cardiotonic bamboo, and vitamin C
One or more kinds selected from the group consisting of abundant persimmon leaves, and 4 to 5 kinds thereof are preferably selected. Among them, medicinal herbs in which Yokuinin, malt, mountain herbs, safflower and lacquer lacquer are combined with longan meat are preferable.

Particularly preferably, diuresis in combination with Yokuinin, which is said to have a broad function in nerves, blood vessels and muscles,
It can be used to prevent rough skin, to strengthen the liver and kidneys in combination with lacquer, malt known to have an intestinal function, or two or more of these can be combined as appropriate. It is most preferable that the amount is within the range of about 1/20 to 20 times the weight of longan meat.

If desired, jade bamboo, persimmon leaves, oju, tachibana, etc. can be used. The production method according to the present invention is characterized in that longeye meat is subdivided into minced meat without being dried or roasted. The water content of longan meat transfers to other herbs that have been dried or roasted and subdivided into powder form, and these are kneaded and dispersed to form a moderately granular state as a whole, which is easily ground and dried. The large amount of sugar contained in longan meat is appropriately diluted with other crude drugs and can be operated without stickiness. Also, it has almost no hygroscopicity after drying.

[0012] A small amount of alcohols can be added to promote the granule formation of the longan meat and other crude drugs, and these alcohols are volatilized and removed in the subsequent drying step. According to the method of the present invention, since medicinal herbs are produced through granule formation, even if the particle size of each crude drug is different or the size of the granules formed is large or small, It is possible to obtain a mixture in which the crude drug is almost uniformly mixed, and there is no variation when measuring the pulverized raw materials having different particle sizes, so that the uniform intake of the crude drug can be achieved.

In addition, in terms of quality, since the longan meat and the other crude drug are mixed in a pressure-bonded state during the mixing process, the mutual migration of the components is facilitated and the so-called "ripening" is performed. As the state progresses, a medicinal herb tea having a mellow aroma and flavor is obtained as compared with the case where the individual pulverized raw materials are simply blended. After granulation, ripening for several days to several months gives higher quality herbal tea.

The method of the present invention does not require any special equipment, and can be produced by using usual equipment for food production. For drinking, it can be extracted with hot water and drunk in the same manner as ordinary tea.

g, a mountain herb 3 g, and a lacquer lacquer 3 g were added, and the whole was thoroughly ground in a mortar and mixed, whereby the water content of the longan meat was transferred to other crude drugs to give a granular substance having a moderate fluidity as a whole. This was dried well to obtain medicinal herb tea containing longeye meat.

When this product was extracted with hot water in the same manner as ordinary Japanese tea, a refreshing drink with a mild sweetness was obtained. Example 2 10 g of longan meat was minced into minced meat without drying or roasting, and 9 g of dried lacquer fruit, 6 g of malt, and 3 g of yokuinin were added to the minced meat, and the same treatment as in Example 1 was carried out. A medicinal herb tea containing meat was obtained. Example 3 10 g of longan meat was minced into minced meat without drying or roasting, and dried and roasted yokuinin 9 g, bracts 6 g, safflower 3 g and malt 3 g were added, and the same procedure as in Example 1 was performed. It was processed to obtain a herbal tea containing longan meat. Example 4 10 g of longan meat was minced into minced pieces without being dried or roasted, and 4 g of dried and roasted lacquer fruits, 6 g of malt and 6 g of persimmon leaves were added, and treated in the same manner as in Example 1. Then, medicinal herbs containing longan meat were obtained. Example 5 10 g of longan meat was minced into minced pieces without drying or roasting, and 6 g of dried and roasted yokuinin, 6 g of persimmon leaves, and 2 g of citrus peel were added and treated in the same manner as in Example 1. Then, medicinal herbs containing longan meat were obtained.
