METHOD FOR PRODUCING TARTARY BUCHWHEAT TEA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3668486
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing Tartary buchwheat tea enriching such a pharmaceutical component as γ-amino butyric acid (GABA).
SOLUTION: The method for producing Tartary buchwheat tea comprises the following process: soaking Tartary buchwheat grains in hot water having initial temperature of 50-80°C followed by steaming the Tartary buchwheat grains; drying the steamed Tartary buchwheat grains followed by separating seeds from husks of the grain to make the seed Tartary buchwheat tea. The Tartary buchwheat grains are soaked in the hot water having the initial temperature of 50-80°C so that glutamic acid decarboxylase contained in the Tartary buchwheat is activated and thereby glutamic acid is changed into γ-aminobutyric acid in the Tartary buchwheat, and thereby an elution amount of the γ-aminobutyric acid is increased by 3 times as that when soaked in water having initial temperature of 25°C.
