Abstract:
In order to study the preparation method of honeysuckle tea essence, taking honeysuckle as raw material and water as the extraction solvent, chlorogenic acid extraction rate as inspection index, the extraction technique of chlorogenic acid from honeysuckle was optimized. The results showed that the extraction rate of chlorogenic acid was the highest when ratio of material to liquid was 1∶8(g/mL), extraction time was 2 h and extraction times was twice. And then the optimized formula of honeysuckle tea essence by taking taste, solubility and clarity as invastigated indexes was obtained as follows: honeysuckle extract powder 60%, lactose 20%, fructo-oligosaccharide 10%,white granulated sugar 8% and citric acid 2%. The prepared honeysuckle tea essence had high chlorogenic acid content, good taste, rapid dissolution, clear and transparent solution. And the sensory score was 75 points.
