Detailed explanation of the production method for almond refreshing beverage
Almond refreshing beverage production process: raw material selection and impurity removal → washing and soaking → pre-boiling → peeling → debittering and color protection → rinsing → re-boiling → grinding → pulp-residue separation → almond juice → blending → filling base material → filling CO2 water → capping → inspection → labeling → packing → finished product.
Key points of process operation: Water treatment. The water used for the beverage must meet the soda water quality requirements in QB926-84. The water used in the process must be tested and qualified after electrodialysis and other treatments before use.
Preparation of almond juice. Selection: Put fresh, plump, mold-free almonds into running water and wash off surface mud, sand and inclusions, then soak in clean water for 4-5 hours, changing the water at intervals. Remove the soaked almonds and put them into boiling water for pre-boiling. After pre-boiling at a slight boil for 12-15 minutes, remove and cool. Put the rinsed almonds into a prepared solution for debittering and color protection treatment. Preparation solution ratio: refined salt 2%-5%, citric acid 0.15%, sodium metabisulfite 0.1%, ratio of almonds to color-protection solution 1:2. After 1 hour of debittering and color protection, remove and rinse. After debittering and color protection, put the almonds and water at 1:2 into a pot and re-boil for 10 minutes. Grind while hot, first coarse grinding with 80 mesh, then fine grinding with 120 mesh. After grinding, filter with a 150-200 mesh sieve. The action must be quick to avoid contamination caused by long exposure to air.
Blending: In a steam jacketed pot, add treated water, sugar, acid, preservatives and other auxiliary materials according to the formula and dissolve them. Finally add almond juice and blend to the total base material volume. After filtering, fill, inject gas and press to package.
Product characteristics: Almonds contain rich nutrients. Scientifically blend almonds, honey and other raw materials; it has certain beauty and medical benefits. If a reasonable production process is used, a quite popular carbonated beverage can be produced.
