Detailed Explanation of Bee Pollen Beverage Processing Technology and Production Methods

Bee pollen oral liquid types:

The preparation of bee pollen oral liquid generally involves several steps:

① Bee pollen extraction: Water and ethanol are commonly used as solvents, which can extract the active ingredients from pollen and are cheap and readily available.

② Formulation: After the extract is purified and concentrated, additives such as honey juice, fortifiers, and flavoring agents are added.

③ Filtration: The above prepared solution is repeatedly filtered to remove insoluble substances, yielding a clear solution.

④ Filling, sealing, sterilization, light inspection, labeling, packaging, and warehousing.

1. Zhonghua Pollen Oral Liquid

(1) Formula: Single-source honey pollen, vitamin C, sucrose, honey, glucose, citric acid, etc.

(2) Process flow: Pollen -> pollen liquid -> honey -> refined honey -> sucrose -> glucose -> syrup -> auxiliary additives -> distilled water -> oral liquid -> filling

This product can enhance immunity and has effects of lowering blood lipids and anti-fatigue.

2. Pollen Oral Liquid

(1) Formula: (calculated for 1000 bottles, 10ml per bottle) pollen and honey 2kg each, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and flavoring each in appropriate amounts.

(2) Production method: ① Pollen pretreatment: Add sterile water to the wall-broken pollen that has been decontaminated, desensitized, and sterilized. Keep the liquid temperature at 50-55°C, stir for 2-3 hours, then filter through a sieve of 120 mesh or above. Let stand for 42 hours and take the supernatant for later use. ② Honey pretreatment: Add a small amount of water to the honey and stir evenly, heat to 45°C, filter through a 60-mesh sieve, then heat to 60°C, filter through a 90-mesh sieve, then finely filter through a 120-mesh sieve, cool to 45°C for later use. ③ Stirring and filtration: Mix the pollen extract, honey water, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and flavoring and stir evenly. Place at below -25°C, freeze for 24 hours, take the upper solution and filter through a sterile filter. Keep the filtrate for later use. ④ Filling, sealing, light inspection, testing, packaging, and factory release.

There is also a health-nutrition oral liquid made from asparagus and pollen through extraction, processing, and formulation, which has effects of promoting metabolism, enhancing immunity, and preventing cancer.

Juhuabao is another pollen oral liquid. It combines the characteristics of 4 types of pollen - cattail, corn, sunflower, and rapeseed - and is made by adding an appropriate amount of honey liquid. It is sweet and delicious, and can promote metabolism and enhance immunity.

There are also some other pollen oral liquids, which will not be listed one by one here. The oral liquid dosage form is characterized by rich nutrition, good taste, and fast absorption.

3. Pollen Soda

(1) Formula: Pollen 10kg, honey and white sugar 6kg each, citric acid 7g, diatomaceous earth 2kg, vitamin B2 in an appropriate amount.

(2) Production method: ① Honey pretreatment: Heat the honey in a water bath to 60°C, maintain for 30 minutes, and filter through a 100-mesh sieve for later use. ② Extraction of pollen liquid: Decontaminate, sterilize, and desensitize the pollen. Then add about 1 times the pollen weight of water to make a paste, extract with about 5 times alcohol, and after extracting the active ingredients from the pollen, evaporate off the alcohol to obtain the extract, filter, and set aside. ③ Mixing: Add white sugar, honey, and citric acid to the pollen extract, stir for 4-5 hours, then add diatomaceous earth and continue stirring for 1 hour. ④ Filtration: Filter with a plate-and-frame filter to clarify the filtrate, then add an appropriate amount of vitamin B2 for coloring. ⑤ Bottling, labeling, inspection, and warehousing.

4. Pollen Fitness Wine

(1) Formula: Pollen and honey 50kg each, distilled water and baijiu (40-50 degrees) 200kg each, citric acid and flavoring each in appropriate amounts.

(2) Production method: ① Pollen pretreatment: Place the pollen in a -20°C low-temperature refrigerator, freeze for 24 hours, then take it out and quickly put it into 90°C hot water, stir thoroughly with a high-speed mixer until the temperature drops to 45°C. ② Mixing: Add the honey and baijiu together into the pollen extract, continue stirring for 4-5 hours, then add 2kg of activated carbon, stir evenly, and let stand for 2-3 days. ③ Filtration: Use plate-and-frame suction filtration to obtain a clear wine liquid. ④ Adjusting the wine liquid: Use citric acid to adjust the acidity of the wine to 0.45-0.5, and use flavoring to adjust to the appropriate taste. ⑤ Filling and labeling, inspection, and warehousing.

There are also some pollen dew, pollen sparkling wine, pollen ice cream, etc., @#@255@#@ pollen can serve as an ideal natural raw material for them.
