maltodextrin,
skimmed milk powder and
citric acid and through the steps of homogenization, concentration, lyophilization and the like. The burdock is extracted by using an ultrasonic-
microwave method. The method combines two action
modes of
ultrasonic vibration and open microwaves directly, takes full use of a hole effect of the
ultrasonic vibration and a
high energy effect of the microwaves, overcomes the disadvantages of a conventional ultrasonic- and
microwave-assisted extraction, and realizes fast, efficient and reliable pretreatment for
solid samples under a low temperature
atmospheric pressure condition. The instant burdock herbal tea prepared by the invention is convenient to take and to brew, and can play the roles of clearing away heat and
