Abstract:
PURPOSE: A manufacturing method for a Momordica charantia beverage is provided to reduce the bitter taste of Momordica charantia and have excellent antioxidant activities, taste and high contents of phenolics. CONSTITUTION: Momordica charantia tea is manufactured by pulverizing, roasting at 160-220°C for 3-10 minutes and cooling down to 30-50°C. Roasting and cooling are repeated 3-5 times. One to three weight percent of Momordica charantia tea is added to 1000 weight percent of 100-110°C of hydrothermal and the essence is extracted for 30-45 minutes. The extract is filtered. One or more kinds of corn floss tea and solomon's-seal tea is additionally added to the Momordica charantia extract at a rate of 1-3 weight percent. After putting the Momordica charantia beverage into the beverage container, it is sterilized and packed. Momordica charantia is prepared by washing immature Momordica charantia which is 25-30 cm in length, removing moisture, cutting into 4-6 mm thickness, and drying at 45-55°C for 2-3 days.
