Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a tea extract which is high in transparency, excellent in flavor and aroma, and which does not cause sedimentation even if it is stored for a long period of time, and a method for producing the tea material [Prior Art] Many green tea beverages have been developed in containers filled with containers such as tin cans and PET bottles, and are sold in the market. The green tea beverage packaged in a container is generally obtained by extracting a tea extract from tea leaves with warm water or the like, and then removing the tea particles by a solid-liquid separation method such as centrifugation to be filled in a container and sterilized. The container-packed green tea tarts produced in this way will produce floating matter, white turbidity, flocculated (cotton-like) or sediment-like sediment (precipitate) during long-term storage (the following substances are collectively referred to as " "Scum"), the generation of sediment, especially for tea beverages that are filled in transparent containers, is an important issue that reduces the price of commodities. It is known that sediment has sediment (also referred to as "primary sediment") which precipitates from the completion of manufacture, and sores (also referred to as "secondary sediment") which are produced over time during storage after the manufacture of the material. For the sediment of the former, it has been confirmed that in the tea kneading step, the solid-liquid separation method can be prevented, and the latter's sediment is unclear, and various prevention methods are proposed. For example, it is possible to remove a substance which causes secondary sedimentation by forcibly removing it. After adding ascorbic acid to the green tea extract of the extracted green tea to become acid 201201703, it is rapidly cooled and centrifuged, and then clarified by filtering with diatomaceous earth.

Mixing, no clouding (Cream d〇WI1), and a method for producing the tone, excellent in taste and aroma of black tea Yin material (Patent Document 4) and the like. In addition, the method of adding an enzyme to dissolve or stabilize the sediment can be exemplified, for example, by centrifuging the warm water extract of green tea, and adding the enzyme having hemicellulase activity to effectively inhibit the occurrence of the green tea beverage twice. The method of precipitation (Patent Document 5) and the addition of 〇-amylase to the green tea extract to inhibit flocculation in the beverage (Patent Document 6), and the treatment of lecithin by adding a mixed enzyme to the green tea extract can inhibit The method for producing a green tea meal produced by turbidity or precipitation (Patent Document 7), etc. On the other hand, as a countermeasure for the change and disappearance (decrease) of the aroma of the green tea beverage due to heat sterilization treatment and storage, an enzyme-based enzyme has been proposed - 6- 201201703 Method of enhancing aroma components. For example, a method of using a β- sylglucosidase of a tea aroma component in the form of a disaccharide glycoside in tea leaves, a method of dispersing the aroma component (Patent Document 8), and adding a glycoside to the green tea extract The enzyme β-glucosidase, a method for increasing the good aroma components (Patent Document 9)' and the preparation of a tea beverage containing an enzyme treatment step for the action of a diglucosidase derived from a microorganism to make the flavor less and the flavor improved.

However, in order to improve the transparency, attempts have been made to completely remove the substances causing turbidity and precipitation contained in the tea tanning material, and a large amount of components unrelated to the formation of the sediment are also removed, which causes a problem of weakening the original fragrance of the tea. In addition, in the method of using enzymes to remove sediment and maintain stability, there is a problem that the original flavor of the tea changes due to the addition of the enzyme. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a tea extract which is highly transparent, excellent in flavor and aroma, and which does not cause sedimentation even after long-term storage, and a method for producing the tea beverage. [Means for Solving the Problem] After carefully reviewing the above-mentioned problems, the team of the present invention found that the surprising result was obtained by concentrating the tea extract into a tea concentrate of a specific sugar content, causing glycosidase action, and performing centrifugation. At the time, the enzyme or the enzyme treatment can coat the tea component causing the formation of the secondary sediment to form a coagulation sediment. The tea extract obtained by removing the agglomerated precipitate is diluted as a beverage, and has a richer aroma and a rich flavor than the conventional tea extract, and the transparency is remarkably improved, and it is confirmed that sedimentation does not occur even after long-term storage.

One or more types of tea leaves such as unfermented tea (green tea), semi-fermented tea (Oolong tea), and fermented tea (black tea). In particular, unfermented tea and semi-fermented tea rich in glycoside are preferred. In the method for producing a tea extract of the present invention, the enzyme-derived component and the tea component are mutually reacted by concentrating the tea extract to a specific concentration and even the glycosidase in the liquid containing a certain concentration of the tea component. The effect is to precipitate together. Although the tea component reacted with the glycosidase component was not known, the present inventors confirmed that many specific co-precipitations occurred when tea leaves were used for oolong tea. The present invention is effective in that the transparency is high and the flavor is good. -10- 201201703 The most important tea leaf is ok, and oolong tea is suitable for use. The extraction method of the tea leaves is not particularly limited and can be carried out according to a conventionally known method. The extraction apparatus may be in the form of a state in which the tea leaves can be kept in contact with an aqueous solvent such as warm water, and any one of an extraction apparatus such as a column type extractor, a pinch type extractor, or a convection type extractor can be used. The extraction solvent is not particularly limited as long as it can be used as a water-based solvent for food, and distilled water, demineralized water, tap water, alkali ionized water, deep ocean water, ion-exchanged water, deoxidized water, and aqueous alcohol (10 to 90 v/v % alcohol can be used). ), water containing inorganic salts, etc., but it is preferred to use pure water and ion-exchanged water. When a large amount of ions are dissolved in water, the extraction efficiency is lowered, the insoluble matter is reacted with the components in the extract, and the color changes. The amount of the extraction solvent to be used varies depending on the type of the tea, the type of the extraction solvent, the extraction temperature, the desired taste, and the like, and is generally preferably 1 to 200 parts by weight, more preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight based on the weight of the tea leaves. , preferably from 1 100 to 100 parts by weight. The extraction temperature varies depending on the type of tea and the desired taste. 'General green tea is 10~l〇〇〇c (4〇~98. 〇 is good), oolong tea is 4〇~l〇〇°C (60~98°) C is better), black tea is 40~1001 (60~98°c is better). The extraction time is generally from 1 to 120 minutes, preferably from 3 to 60 minutes. In addition, an adjuvant such as an antioxidant or a pH adjuster may be added during extraction or after extraction. Step 1 Generally, a sugar extract (Brix; weight (g) of soluble solids per 100 g of solution) is obtained as a tea extract of 〇·2~1. In the present invention, when the number of saccharides is expressed as "sacchari", unless otherwise specified, the enthalpy measured by the saccharide meter -11 - 201201703 is based on the refractive index of the solution, and is used in every 1 gram of solution. The weight of soluble solids (g) is converted to the equivalent of grams of sucrose contained in 100 g of sucrose solution. (Step 2: Step of obtaining concentrated liquid) The tea extract obtained in the step 1 is concentrated to obtain a concentrated liquid of tea. The concentration method is not particularly limited, and the conventionally known evaporation concentration method, membrane concentration method, and the like can be carried out by using, for example, an atmospheric pressure concentrating device, a vacuum concentrating device, a centrifugal film concentrating device, and other general concentrating devices. 2 to 30 is better, 3 to 25 is better, and 5 to 20 is best. Further, in order to suppress the change in the aroma component, the temperature at the time of concentration is preferably carried out at 80 °C. (Step 3: Enzyme Treatment Solution Step) Glycosidase is added to the concentrate of the tea extract adjusted to the above range. The glycosidase is not particularly limited as long as it has an activity to cleave a glycosidic bond of an aroma component which is conjugated with a sugar contained in a tea concentrate, and specific examples thereof include glucosidase, primulinase, and xyloside. Enzymes, etc. Among them, glucomannan is most suitable for 'special use of β-glucosidase. The β-glucosidase is not particularly limited, and an enzyme derived from a genus of Penicillium, such as Penicillium multicolor, Aspergillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizomucor, Cryptococcus, Microbacterium, etc., may be used, and commercially available, for example, β-glucose The glucosidase preparation "Amano" (manufactured by Amano Enzyme Co., Ltd. -12-201201703) The amount of glycosidase added can be appropriately set according to the price, and is not particularly limited. Generally, it is a solid content relative to the tea extract (concentrated solution). (Measured by sugar content. Unless otherwise specified, the same as "solid content") is preferably 0.01 to 10% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, still more preferably 0.2 to 1.0% by weight, and 0.3 to 0.5% by weight. The best, for example, the glycosidase used is the β-glucosidase preparation "Amano" (manufactured by Amano Enzyme Co., Ltd.) (P-glucosidase: 13%, excipient: 87% mixed product. Source: Penicillium multicolor, When the price of the force: β-glucosidase activity is 800 U/g or more, the solid content of the tea extract (concentrate) is preferably 〇1 to 10% by weight. 10% by weight is more preferable, and 2.0 to 5.0% by weight is also preferably '3.0 to 5.0% by weight. It is preferably a solid part relative to ig when converted into a force price, preferably 0.08 to 80 U, preferably 0.8 to 40 U. 1.6~8.0U is also better '2.4~4.0U. At this time, the price of β-glucosidase is determined by the following method using an automatic chemical analyzer (TBA-30R, manufactured by Toshiba Corporation). A 10 μL enzyme sample was mixed with a Nitrophenyl (pNP) Glycosides (manufactured by Merck) in a 20 mM acetic acid buffer solution (ΡΗ5·5) to mix 200 μl of a solution of 2 mM at 40°. The reaction time was 22.5 sec under C. After the reaction was carried out, a 25 μl sodium carbonate solution (stopping the reaction liquid) was added, and the absorbance at 412 ηηη was measured. The background 来自 from the sample was measured by using a 20 mM acetic acid buffer solution (pH 5.5) instead of the matrix solution, and the same measurement was carried out, under which the amount of the enzyme which increased the absorbance by 1 was 1 U. The addition of glycosidase can cause the components of the tea beverage to cause sedimentation and the components of the odor-causing ingredients to interact and precipitate together. The more the amount of the precipitate, the higher the transparency, and the tea extract which has a very smooth aftertaste and a refreshing taste, and the tea blend blended therewith. When the amount of the glycosidase added is less than 0.01% by weight based on the solid content of the tea extract (concentrated solution), not only the aroma component of the tea is insufficiently released, but also the coprecipitation with the desired tea component may not occur. When the weight is %, the taste of the enzyme preparation may be felt to impair the flavor of the tea. The conditions for the enzyme treatment can be appropriately set depending on the type, nature (price), concentration of the extract, and the like of the enzyme to be used. For example, when a β-glucosidase preparation (for example, "Amano" (manufactured by Amano Enzyme Co., Ltd.)) is used, the reaction is carried out at 40 to 60 ° C for 1 to 5 hours. After the enzyme reaction, the enzyme reaction can be stopped by inactivation of the enzyme according to a known method, for example, by heating at 90 ° C for 30 minutes. (Step 4: Solid-liquid separation treatment step) As described above, in the enzyme treatment solution, a component (proteinaceous substance) in the enzyme reacts with a component of the tea beverage to produce a precipitate. The precipitate is removed in the solid-liquid separation treatment step of step 4. The solid-liquid separation method is not particularly limited as long as it can separate the precipitate (solid portion) from the water-soluble portion (liquid portion), and can be filtered by a filter paper, a metal filter made of stainless steel, or the like by centrifugation. It is preferable that the centrifugal separation is such that the precipitate is more reliably removed and the secondary sediment is suppressed. For centrifugal separation, a general type such as a split plate type, a cylindrical type, or a horizontal type may be used, and the treatment temperature is preferably 3 〇 ° C or less, and more preferably 25 ° C or less. The conditions for centrifugation (rotation speed and -14 - 201201703 time) vary depending on the unit and processing capacity. For example, using a centrifugal separator (KOKUSANH-26F) is 1000 to 3000 rpm for about 5 to 30 minutes. The solid-liquid separation is performed when the sugar content of the tea extract obtained by the separation is diluted to about 0.5, preferably the turbidity of the aqueous solution is 35 NTU or less, more preferably 20 or less, more preferably 10 or less, and even more preferably 5 or less, and 1 or less. The best is done. When the turbidity of the aqueous solution is 35 NTU or less, it is possible to obtain a tea extract which has a good flavor over a long period of time and which does not cause secondary sedimentation. Here, the turbidity is based on a nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU) of a turbidity meter (90-degree scattered light/transmission type detection method), and specific measuring means may be, for example, a ratio optical system. The tea extract of the present invention can enhance the pleasant aroma by the enzyme treatment of the step 3, and further, by the steps 2, 3 and 4, the components which hinder the aroma can be precipitated and removed, and the degree of the aroma can be further enhanced. . The aroma of the tea is very slender and has a very easy to lose property in the process of producing a tea beverage. However, the tea extract of the present invention is easy to maintain the original flavor of the tea because its aroma component is enhanced. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, for example, when oolong tea is used as a raw tea leaf, by step 3, an aldehyde and an alcohol having a floral and fruity aroma and aroma can be added (for example, cis-3-Hexen-l-ol, Linalool) Oxide, Benzaldhyde, 1 -Nonanol, Methyl salicylate, Geraniol, Benzyl alcohol, Phenyl ethyl alcohol, Benzyl salicylate, Hexadecanoic acid, Methyl-1 1 , 1 4,1 7-Eicosatrienoate ) > and creosote-like aroma ( 2-Methoxy-4-vinyl phenol) ^In addition, it can reduce the aroma components known to cause heating odor ( -15- 201201703

[Embodiment] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be more specifically described by way of Examples, but the present invention is not limited to the Examples. Example 1: Oolong tea extract (1) (1) Oolong tea extract was prepared. l〇〇g oolong tea (Fujian Province, color species) was taken, and extracted with 600 0 mL of ion-exchanged water at 90 ° C for 15 minutes. The obtained extract was coarsely filtered with a metal filter having a mesh size of 150, and then cooled to 30 ° C or lower to obtain an oolong tea extract (having a sugar content of 0.5, which was measured using a digital refractometer RX-50 00 α manufactured by AT AGO Co., Ltd.). The following sugar content was measured using the instrument). The extract was concentrated to a sugar content of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, and 10.0 using a reduced pressure evaporation apparatus to obtain a concentrated liquid.

After the enzyme treatment, the enzyme was inactivated by heating at 90 ° C for 30 minutes, and then cooled to 30 ° C or less to obtain an enzyme treatment solution. After fully oscillating, 2 OmL of each was injected into a glass tube for evaluation of the precipitate, and precipitation evaluation was performed at 25 °C. In the precipitation evaluation, the enzyme treatment liquid which was separated in the glass tube was centrifuged at 3 000 rpm in a centrifuge apparatus (H-26F type manufactured by KOKUSAN Co., Ltd.) for 10 minutes, and the amount of precipitation (mL) was calculated. get on. A 10 mL aqueous solution portion (supernatant) was separately taken and filtered through a filter of mesh 500, and turbidity analysis was performed. The turbidity analysis was carried out by diluting the sugar content to 0.5 with ion -17-201201703 exchange water, and measuring by turbidity meter (turbidity meter 2 1 0 0 P type manufactured by HACH Co., Ltd.) (20 ° C). The measurement results of the amount of the enzyme treatment solution and the turbidity of the aqueous solution after centrifugation are shown in Table 1 (the sugar content measurement in Table 1 indicates the measurement of the sugar content of the supernatant after centrifugation). As is clear from Table 1, it is preferable that the sugar extract 茶 of the tea extract (concentrated solution) is 1.0 or more when the enzyme is treated, and it is more preferably 2.0 or more, and it is confirmed that the composition derived from the enzyme interacts with the tea component. Precipitate. The higher the sugar content is, the more the sugar content is. When the sugar content is 5 〇 or more, not only condensation and sediment but also white flocculated aggregates are confirmed. Further, the relationship between the sugar content of the tea extract (concentrated solution) and the turbidity after centrifugation at the time of enzyme treatment is shown in Fig. 1 . The liquid after centrifugation of the enzyme-treated solution was diluted to a liquid having a sugar content of 〇·5, and the transparency was significantly different. It was confirmed that the higher the sugar content of the enzyme at the time of the enzyme treatment, the higher the transparency. In particular, it has been found that an improvement in transparency of a sugar content of 2.0 or more and a degree of sugar of 5.0 or more can be made into a highly transparent tea extract. -18- 201201703 [Table 1] Brix (%) Brix (%) - Determine the amount of bismuth (mL/20ml).

After confirming the state for 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, 13 days, and 19 days, the samples No. 1 to No. 3 were found on the 13th day of storage. Under natural light, there is a small amount of sand-like fine particles (less than 5 mm), which is visually confirmed on the 19th day. Otherwise, the sample Νο·4~Νο·8 has not changed for 20 days. It is suggested that the sugar content of the enzyme treatment is 2.0 or more. It can be removed from the substance which causes precipitation during long-term storage. Example 2: Oolong tea extract (2) Sugar content of the tea extract (concentrate) when the enzyme is treated At 5.0, the amount of enzyme added was changed to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 per solid, enzyme treatment.

In the same manner as in Example 1, when the amount of precipitation of the enzyme treatment liquid was measured, the turbidity of the liquid in which the supernatant liquid was diluted to a sugar content of 0.5 after centrifugation was measured. The results are shown in Table 3. It can be clearly seen from Table 3 that although the correlation between the amount of enzyme added and the amount of precipitation has not been found, the transparency of the obtained tea extract increases as the amount of the enzyme added increases. In particular, when the enzyme preparation is added in an amount of 2% or more per solid content, when it is added in an amount of 3% or more, a tea extract having a very high transparency can be obtained (Fig. 2).

The resulting extract was concentrated to a concentration of 4 _ 5 using a vacuum evaporation apparatus to obtain a green tea concentrate. In the concentrate, glycosidase was added at a concentration of 3% by weight relative to the solid content, and the enzyme treatment was carried out for 2 hours at 50 °C. After the enzyme treatment, the enzyme was inactivated by heating at 90 ° C for 30 minutes, and then the enzyme treatment liquid was cooled to 30 ° C or less, and then centrifuged (H-26F type manufactured by KOKUSAN Co., Ltd.) at 300 rpm. , -22- 201201703 ι〇 minutes of solid-liquid separation treatment, take 20mL of the aqueous solution part of the net (the upper concentrate is not treated with enzyme but: turbidity, as a control.
