Plant water beverage and its preparation method

Abstract

The botanical beverage is prepared with one of wolfberry fruit, aweto, ophiopogon root, American ginseng, cogongrass rhizome and other medical food plant material, and through conventional pre-treatment, cutting, pulping, adding water and heating, adding cellulase to extract, filtering to obtain plant extract, clarifying with pectinase and proteinase, cooling, high speed centrifugal filtering, ultrafiltering, high temperature sterilizing, hot filling and inclination turning, and cooling. The present invention has the advantages of high active component extracting rate, high stability, clearness, being transparent, high health effect, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a plant water drink and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the water drinks on the market, especially functional water drinks, appear in the form of nutritionally fortified water, such as Robust’s Pulsation, Wahaha’s Kangli, Red Bull’s vitamin drinks, etc., all of which add vitamins during the process. , electrolytes, amino acids and other nutrient enhancers, and water drinks with plant extracts as raw materials are rare in the market. A variety of plant drinks have been announced in the Chinese Patent Announcement, which can be divided into two categories, one of which is made of a variety of plants , mixed and extracted by conventional techniques, such as <Application No.> 02117717 <Notice No.> 1377611 <Invention Name> is a natural plant health drink, which is based on hawthorn, jujube, and mulberry, and then mixed with lotus leaves , Lycium barbarum or with chry...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages are that the process is rough, the stability is poor, and the solids are easy to settle

Because the beverage contains a certain amount of solids according to the standard, it will inevitably settle after a long time, which will seriously affect the product image. In order to solve this problem, some people try to delay the settlement time by adding a large amount of stabilizers in excess, but what it brings is harmful to health. Some people try to use good filtration methods such as ultrafiltration, but they can't solve the sedimentation problem very well. This is because small molecular plant substances still pass through the filter membrane, and when interacting with smaller metal ions inherent in plant extracts Settling and turbidity are inevitable

For example, "Mixed juice type wolfberry jujube tea processing technology" [Food Industry (Shanghai). Artificial stabilizers such as sodium alginate need to be added, which does not meet the requirements of all-natural beverages

In addition, the traditional fruit juice drinks have a darker color, which is suitable for the preference of some consumers, while others prefer drinks with light color and mild taste. Unfortunately, most of these drinks are in the form of artificially synthesized chemical substances. Does not meet the requirements of pure natural and return to nature
