Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for production of a chlorogenic acid-containing material, including the method of contacting a coffee bean extract (A) with a mixture of a water-miscible organic solvent (B) and water (C) under such conditions that the weight ratio between the components (B) and (C) obtained after the mixture is mixed with the component (A) becomes 70/30 to 99.5/0.5; and recovering a solid portion. According to the present invention, a chlorogenic acid-containing material having a less disagreeable taste and less unpleasant odor can be obtained by a simple and convenient method.
Abstract:
A method for collecting an enzyme from an enzyme-containing solution having a cell density of 1% (v/v) or less and an enzyme concentration of 1% (w/v) or more in terms of the amount of a protein by microfiltration, wherein a cationic surfactant is added to the enzyme-containing solution in an amount of 0.01 to 1% (w/v) and the mixture is then subjected to microfiltration.
Abstract:
Provided is a production method for a purified tea extract having improved solubility of the non-polymer catechins in a solvent. The production method for a purified tea extract according to the present invention comprises bringing a tea extract into contact with a magnesium-type or lithium-type cation exchange resin.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for producing a tea extract. The process includes subj ecting a first tea extract solution, which has been obtained from tea, to solid-liquid separation so that a turbidity becomes 200 NTU or lower when a concentration of non-polymer catechins is adjusted to 1 wt%, thereby obtaining a second tea extract solution in which a concentration of (A) non-polymer catechins is from 0.2 to 5 wt% and a concentration of non-polymer catechins in solid content is from 15 to 80 wt%; and then subjecting the second tea extract solution to a heat treatment at a temperature of from 95 to 140°C for an F value of from 0.05 to 40 min.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a chlorogenic acids composition having a reduced caffeine content and good taste and favor, capable of efficiently recovering high purity of chlorogenic acids from a chlorogenic acids-containing composition. The method for producing a purified chlorogenic acids composition comprises a step A of bringing a chlorogenic acids-containing composition into contact with a cation exchange resin; a step B of bringing the liquid obtained in the step A into contact with an anion exchange resin; and a step C of bringing an eluent into contact with the anion exchange resin after the step B.
