Description

The invention relates to the tea industry of the food industry and can be used in tea factories during the off-season, as well as in specialized workshops of food processing plants or any small industries.

The present invention is the creation of tea or tea drink, which has not only tonic properties, but is a source of vitamins, minerals and compounds, in particular iodine, which are necessary for the human body.

Vitamins in the human body play a big role. They are necessary for the normal course of almost all biochemical processes in our body. They provide the functions of the endocrine glands, that is, the production of hormones, increased mental and physical performance, support the body's resistance to the effects of adverse environmental factors (heat, cold, infection, intoxication).

Minerals are a source of micro and macro elements, stabilize biochemical and intercellular processes, play an irreplaceable role in many chemical transformations within the body.

The main biological function of iodine is to maintain the function of the thyroid gland and build its hormone - thyroxine.

Since often there is a shortage of these elements in the human body, especially in the autumn-winter-spring period, there is a need to create products that contain these elements while maintaining their taste characteristics. Such products may include teas and tea drinks.

In the production of tea or tea drinks enriched with these elements, there is a problem of their fixation on the processed raw materials and further release for entry into the human body. So, iodine when it enters a medium with a high temperature quickly becomes volatile, due to which its large losses occur. Therefore, it is necessary that when brewing tea or a tea drink, iodine gradually passes into solution, reducing these losses. Regarding vitamins and minerals, there is a need to fix them on raw materials so that they can completely go into solution when brewing tea or a tea drink and do not remain on the used brewing material.

Thus, the technical result of the present invention is to increase the degree of delivery to the human body of vitamins, minerals and iodine, which enriched tea or tea drink.

A known method for the production of herbal tea, involving blending in a certain ratio of various medicinal plants (see RU 2142235, A23F 3/34), moreover, along with a sufficiently large number of plants there is the presence of senna, that is, cassia. This composition allows you to get a drink aimed at maintaining the tone of the body at a certain time of the day: morning, afternoon and evening.

Known methods for the production of various herbal teas and herbal teas, including various medicinal plants. The general orientation of the drinks obtained in this case is a preventive improvement of the body, since almost any herbal remedy has one or another therapeutic property, as well as traditional tea drinks - black and green tea. The combination of means with specific properties allows you to get a specific focus.

Known collection, which includes in its composition, along with various plant components, hibiscus flowers (RU 2125885, A61K 35/78, 02/10/99), aimed at reducing menopause.

The closest analogue of the present invention is a method for preparing tea enriched with vitamin C using ripe tea leaves, comprising adding a carrier to the mineral composition of ascorbate having vitamin C activity, applying the resulting mixture to tea leaves so that part of the mineral composition is absorbed by tea leaves, brewing the resulting leaves in hot water (WO 97/18720, 05.29.1997, Shepard).

However, the methods known from the prior art, in particular the closest analogue, do not allow to obtain enriched tea or a tea drink, which, when brewing, effectively regulates the release of enrichment components into solution.

The task is achieved as follows.

According to a first embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing an enriched tea or tea beverage with iodine or a mineral, comprising preparing a composition of iodine with a carrier, drying, cutting and applying the composition to tea leaves, where the carrier is jelly or jelly-like mass, and the composition is prepared by mixing 1 kg of jelly or jelly-like mass with 2 g or more of iodine or mineral.

According to the above method, jelly can be obtained by dissolving a gelling agent in a food solvent. As a gelling agent, casein or its derivatives, starch or its derivatives, pectins or its derivatives, thickeners, emulsifiers, gelatin or its derivatives can be selected. The solvent may be selected from the group consisting of acid, water, oil, or mixtures thereof.

The dose of iodine in 100 g jelly can be from about 0.02, and there can also be other doses that are not harmful to humans and are obvious to a person skilled in the art. Doses of iodine can be set depending on the amount of brewed material, packaged in a package.

In the case of a tea drink, herbs or herbal mixtures, drugs, microorganism cultures, pharmaceutical substances, flavorings are additionally added to tea.

According to this invention, enriched tea or tea drink can be packaged in filter bags or glass, iron, plastic containers, boxes, packs, bags at the rate of doses that are not harmful to humans.

According to a second embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for producing a tea or tea drink enriched with a vitamin group, comprising preparing a vitamin group composition with a carrier, drying, cutting and applying the composition to tea leaves, where the carrier is jelly or a jelly-like mass, and the above composition is obtained by mixing 1 kg jelly or jelly-like mass with 10 g or more of a group of vitamins.

The above method assumes that vitamins A, B, C, PP, etc. may be included in the vitamin group.

According to the above method, jelly can be obtained by dissolving a gelling agent in a food solvent. As a gelling agent, casein or its derivatives, starch or its derivatives, pectins or its derivatives, thickeners, emulsifiers, gelatin or its derivatives can be selected. The solvent may be selected from the group consisting of acid, water, oil, or mixtures thereof.

The dose of a group of vitamins in 100 g jelly can be from about 0.01 mg, and there can also be other doses that are not harmful to humans and are obvious to a person skilled in the art. Doses of a group of vitamins can be set depending on the amount of brewed material, packaged in a package.

In the case of a tea drink, herbs or herbal mixtures, drugs, microorganism cultures, pharmaceutical substances, flavorings are added to tea together.

According to this invention, enriched tea or tea drink can be packaged in filter bags or glass, iron, plastic containers, boxes, packs, bags at the rate of doses that are not harmful to humans.

According to a third embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing enriched tea or a tea beverage, comprising preparing a composition of minerals with a carrier, drying, cutting and applying the composition to tea leaves, where the carrier is jelly or jelly-like mass, and the above composition is prepared by mixing 1 kg jelly or jelly-like masses with 10g or more of the mineral.

The above method assumes that any minerals can be used, the use of which in this method is obvious to a person skilled in the art. For example, as a mineral, you can use a mineral containing zinc selenium, iron, silver, calcium, silicon, sodium, manganese, fluorine, magnesium, and others necessary for human life and activity.

According to the above method, jelly can be obtained by dissolving a gelling agent in a food solvent. As a gelling agent, casein or its derivatives, starch or its derivatives, pectins or its derivatives, thickeners, emulsifiers, gelatin or its derivatives can be selected. The solvent may be selected from the group consisting of acid, water, oil, or mixtures thereof.

The dose of minerals in 100g jelly can be from about 0.01 mg, and there can also be other doses that are not harmful to humans and are obvious to a person skilled in the art. Doses of minerals can be set depending on the amount of brewed material that is packaged.

In the case of a tea drink, herbs or herbal mixtures, drugs, microorganism cultures, pharmaceutical substances, flavorings are added to tea together.

According to this invention, enriched tea or tea drink can be packaged in filter bags or glass, iron, plastic containers, boxes, packs, bags at the rate of doses that are not harmful to humans.
