Abstract
A granular composition containing dietary fibers derived from green tea and a method for preparing the same are provided. The granular composition may be prepared into granules, which has a suitable size and a shape to eat, using dietary fiber-containing processed green tea, an oligosaccharide and a sugar alcohol as raw materials. The granular composition may also be useful in solving the problems such as dust scattering, choking, and the like due to the good flowability of the granules, and manufacturing goods because the granular composition is easy to quantify due to the good filling properties.
Claims13
A granular composition comprising processed green tea having a dietary fiber content of 70% by weight or more;
- an oligosaccharide;
- and a sugar alcohol,
- wherein the granular composition comprises 30 to 60% by weight of the processed green tea;
- 5 to 30% by weight of the oligosaccharide;
- and 30 to 50% by weight of the sugar alcohol.
A granular composition comprising processed green tea having a dietary fiber content of 70% by weight or more;
- an oligosaccharide;
- and a sugar alcohol,
- wherein the oligosaccharide comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of fructooligosaccharides, maltooligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, and soy oligosaccharides.
A method for preparing a granular composition, the method comprising:
- (a) sequentially extracting green tea with spirits and purified water to prepare processed green tea having a dietary fiber content of 70% by weight or more;
- and
- (b) mixing the processed green tea, an oligosaccharide and a sugar alcohol and then extrusion-molding the resulting mixture,
- wherein the granular composition comprises processed green tea having a dietary fiber content of 70% by weight or more;
