Background
Tartary buckwheat belongs to one of two cultivars of buckwheat, and is mainly planted in southwest province in China. The tartary buckwheat contains higher amounts of flavonoid and polyphenol substances, has good health care and edible value, and researches show that the tartary buckwheat powder and the tartary buckwheat leaves have the effects of resisting oxidation, losing weight, reducing blood sugar, reducing blood fat and the like.
Compared with widely eaten tartary buckwheat seeds and products thereof, the application research of tartary buckwheat leaves is obviously insufficient, and a large amount of tartary buckwheat seeds are treated as waste in production at present. At present, the eating mode of the tartary buckwheat leaves mainly comprises the step of taking early tender leaves as vegetables for eating; there have been many researches on processing tartary buckwheat leaves into brewing beverage in a tea-like manner, but on one hand, the basic processing performance such as the thickness of the tartary buckwheat leaves and the like have larger gap with the tea leaves, and the processing method needs to be specially researched; on the other hand, the bitter taste of the tartary buckwheat leaves affects the taste and the acceptance of the tartary buckwheat leaves; therefore, such beverages, although having better health efficacy, have not been accepted by the market.
In summary, in order to fully utilize the tartary buckwheat She Ziyuan, there is a need in the art to study tartary buckwheat leaf drinks, in particular to improve the bitter problem of tartary buckwheat leaf drinks.

Detailed Description
Material and apparatus
Tartary buckwheat leaves: the Fagopyrum tataricum plant planted in Yi nationality of Sichuan Liang mountain; picking in the finishing period (taking into consideration the fact that the yield of the buckwheat is not affected, and picking in the period that the leaf state is not optimal), and taking leaves near the top of the plant; the color is pure, uniform and full, no plant diseases and insect pests exist, and the specifications are basically similar;
tartary buckwheat powder: purchased from Fagopyrum tataricum planters in Yi nationality in Liangshan, sichuan, completely prepared from shelled Fagopyrum tataricum, and no other flour is added.
If not specified, other reagents and materials are all of conventional domestic food grade.
Taste analyzer/electronic tongue: french ASTREE LS16 taste analyzer/electronic tongue; basic debugging process (activation-initialization-calibration) is performed according to specifications and existing literature; the test was run at 3 minutes intervals, 7 times for each sample, the first and last test results were removed, and the intermediate 5 results were used. The bitter taste sensor reading of the ASTREE LS16 taste analyzer/electronic tongue is in a basically linear relation with the concentration of the bitter taste sensor of the tartary buckwheat flavone solution, which is verified by using the tartary buckwheat flavone extract solution with the concentration of 0.2-1%, can be used for objectively evaluating the bitter taste of tartary buckwheat tea (6 g tea sample is used for detection, 200mL purified water with the temperature of 90 ℃ is added for brewing for 5 minutes, and tea soup is taken for electronic tongue and artificial evaluation).
Example 1 basic preparation Process of Tartary buckwheat tea
(1) Rinsing the tartary buckwheat leaves with clear water for 2-3 times to remove dust impurities on the surfaces;
(2) Spreading and airing the cleaned tartary buckwheat She Shanpian at about 25 ℃ for 5-8 hours until the water content is about 70-75%;
(3) Cutting spread and dried Fagopyrum tataricum leaves into pieces of about 0.5cm×0.5 cm; optionally mixing radix Et rhizoma Fagopyri Tatarici powder and other components into pieces cut from radix Et rhizoma Fagopyri Tatarici She Jian, and mixing
(4) Fixation is carried out for 5 minutes at 200 ℃, and the mixture is kneaded into strips (manual processing is adopted in the experimental process, and the technical method is basically consistent);
(5) Oven dried at 100deg.C for 30 min and 90 deg.C for 1.5 hr.
Example 2 taste masking improvement of Tartary buckwheat tea
The tartary buckwheat tea prepared by the method of the embodiment 1 basically overcomes the adverse effects of tartary buckwheat leaves in terms of thickness and the like by adjusting the processing technology, and the tartary buckwheat tea prepared without adding other components has fragrance, soup color and taste similar to those of tea, and is basically molded in terms of leaf shape. The main disadvantage is that the bitter taste is thick (the flavonoid content in the tartary buckwheat leaves is about 5 times of that in the fruits), and the tea leaves are greatly different from the tea leaves accepted by general people. To solve this problem, the applicant has tried to improve the de-enzyming process of tartary buckwheat leaves, and to add a small amount of polysaccharides and dispersants (shown as an "optional" part in step (3) of example 1) before de-enzyming, on the one hand, the tartary buckwheat She Jubu which is thinner than general tea leaves is prevented from being excessively heated to generate scorched bitter taste during de-enzyming, and on the other hand, the partially pyrolyzed polysaccharide can provide a small amount of sweet taste and physically mask/delay bitter components in the tartary buckwheat leaves.

As shown in Table 1, the bitter taste of the product can be effectively reduced by adding 5-8% of the tartary buckwheat powder or flour in the enzyme deactivation process, but the flour is easy to cause poor tea soup color on one hand and causes partial loss of the special flavor of the tartary buckwheat tea on the other hand. Therefore, 5% of tartary buckwheat powder with better taste masking and soup color balance is selected for the next experiment.
