Description

茶葉渣除臭貓砂的製造方法 Manufacturing method of tea residue deodorant cat litter

本發明係一種貓砂的製造方法，特別是指一種茶葉渣除臭貓砂的製造方法。 The invention relates to a method for manufacturing cat litter, in particular to a method for manufacturing tea residue deodorant cat litter.

在野外，貓會本能地在柔性或沙質的土壤中***，以便掩蓋氣味，它們會用爪子向後掃動覆蓋糞便。為了激發這種本能，飼主提供貓砂的使用是非常必要的。貓砂通常是一種鬆散的粒狀材料，可吸收水分和異味(比如氨)，一般會與貓砂盆(或稱貓廁所)一併使用，將適量的貓砂倒於貓砂盆內，受過訓練的貓當需要***時便會走進貓砂盆內***於其上面。 In the wild, cats will instinctively excrete in soft or sandy soil in order to mask odors, and they will swipe back with their paws to cover the droppings. In order to stimulate this instinct, it is very necessary for the owner to provide the use of cat litter. Cat litter is usually a loose granular material that absorbs moisture and odors (such as ammonia), and is generally used together with a cat litter box (or cat toilet). When trained cats need to defecate, they will walk into the litter box and excrete on it.

貓砂的材質要滿足貓本能的挖掘慾望。最常見的材料是黏土，儘管也有用再生紙丸和基於二氧化矽的「晶體」貓砂。但有時當飼主希望刺激貓的本能時，也會使用天然泥土。所以市面上的貓砂多為粒狀，常用的材質包括有土砂、紙砂、水晶砂、豆腐砂、木砂、小麥砂等等。其中水晶砂的價格較貴而且除臭效果不佳，有的貓因為不喜歡矽膠材質而拒絕使用。 The material of cat litter should satisfy the cat's instinctive desire to dig. The most common material is clay, although recycled paper pellets and silica-based "crystal" cat litter are also available. But sometimes natural soils are also used when owners want to stimulate their cat's instincts. Therefore, the cat litter on the market is mostly granular, and the commonly used materials include soil sand, paper sand, crystal sand, tofu sand, wood sand, wheat sand and so on. Among them, the price of crystal sand is more expensive and the deodorization effect is not good. Some cats refuse to use it because they do not like the silicone material.

雖然大部分的貓砂在現今都強調具有除臭功能，但有不少貓砂產品除臭效果差，使用兩周後即會產生劇烈氨臭味，而且容易受潮、發霉、長蟲，不僅影響貓的使用意願，也容易傷害貓的健康。 Although most of the cat litter now emphasizes the deodorizing function, there are many cat litter products with poor deodorizing effect. After two weeks of use, they will produce a strong ammonia odor, and they are prone to moisture, mold, and insects, which not only affect cats The willingness to use it is also easy to harm the cat's health.

本發明人鑑於上述之問題，深覺天然成分的貓砂不會造成環保問題，而且貓的使用意願、接受度也較高，但必須針對除臭及防霉效果等實用因素予以改良，因此遂以其多年養貓及使用貓砂的經驗，配合創作精神、製造能力予以研發，在各方條件的審慎考量下，終於開創出茶葉渣除臭貓砂的製造方法，將可完全解決習知的問題。 In view of the above-mentioned problems, the inventors deeply feel that cat litter made of natural ingredients will not cause environmental problems, and the cat's willingness to use and acceptance are also high, but they must be improved for practical factors such as deodorization and anti-mildew effects. With many years of experience in raising cats and using cat litter, combined with creative spirit and manufacturing ability, we have developed a method for making cat litter with tea residues and deodorizing cat litter, which will completely solve the conventional problems. question.

本發明係一種茶葉渣除臭貓砂的製造方法，主要係以茶葉渣或添加豆渣做為貓砂基材，並混合乳酸菌、酵母菌、枯草芽孢桿菌經由發酵後，再予以烘乾、磨碎，續添加木薯粉、豆膠混合而進行造粒，因此在實施後將可提供下述之效益： The invention relates to a method for producing cat litter with tea residues for deodorizing cat litter, which mainly uses tea residues or added bean residues as a cat litter base material, mixed with lactic acid bacteria, yeast and Bacillus subtilis for fermentation, and then dried and ground. , continue to add tapioca flour and soybean gum to mix and granulate, so it will provide the following benefits after implementation:

本發明的貓砂由於係採由茶葉渣做為貓砂基材，具有祛除異味、殺菌的功能(茶葉里含有單寧酸具有殺菌作用)，並可適量添加豆渣進行混色。而乳酸菌可分泌有機酸類降低茶葉渣酸鹼值，抑制其他雜菌增生，且酵母菌可在發酵過程中增添茶葉渣香氣，而枯草芽孢桿菌具有降解氨濃度、對抗多種病菌及防霉的效果，所以經由醱酵程序之後不僅可以增加菌數，而且可以分解茶葉渣、豆渣的營養物質並產生天然香氣，因此續經烘乾、磨碎並添加木薯粉、豆膠混合而進行造粒成型的貓砂，不僅有天然香氣，而且具有殺菌、除臭、防霉的特點，並可吸收、降解糞便、尿液的異味，為貓咪和飼主帶來雙贏的使用效益。 The cat litter of the present invention uses tea residue as the cat litter base material, and has the functions of removing odor and sterilizing (tannin contained in the tea has a bactericidal effect), and an appropriate amount of bean dregs can be added for color mixing. The lactic acid bacteria can secrete organic acids to reduce the pH value of the tea residue, inhibit the proliferation of other bacteria, and the yeast can add the aroma of the tea residue during the fermentation process, while the Bacillus subtilis has the effect of degrading ammonia concentration, fighting against various bacteria and mildew. Therefore, after the fermenting process, not only the number of bacteria can be increased, but also the nutrients of tea dregs and bean dregs can be decomposed and a natural aroma can be produced. Sand, not only has a natural aroma, but also has the characteristics of sterilization, deodorization, and mildew resistance, and can absorb and degrade the odor of feces and urine, bringing win-win benefits for cats and owners.

為使貴審查人員能確實明瞭本發明之製造方法及其所能達成之功能效益，餘下，茲配合圖式列舉實施例，詳細介紹說明如后： In order to enable your examiners to truly understand the manufacturing method of the present invention and the functional benefits that can be achieved, in the rest, the following examples are given in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed description is as follows:

本發明係一種茶葉渣除臭貓砂的製造方法，主要係以茶葉渣或添加豆渣做為貓砂基材，並混合乳酸菌、酵母菌、枯草芽孢桿菌經由發酵後，再予以烘乾、磨碎至粒徑100目以下(呈碎粒狀)，續添加木薯粉、豆膠混合而進行造粒，促令貓砂具有除臭之效能者。 The invention relates to a method for producing cat litter with tea residues for deodorizing cat litter, which mainly uses tea residues or added bean residues as a cat litter base material, mixed with lactic acid bacteria, yeast and Bacillus subtilis for fermentation, and then dried and ground. To the particle size below 100 mesh (in the form of broken granules), continue to add tapioca flour and soybean gum to mix and granulate, so as to promote cat litter with deodorizing effect.

其中上述之製造方法，主要包括有茶葉渣所構成的貓砂基材，以及各別配置貓砂基材10-15%重量的乳酸菌液、10-15%重量的酵母菌液、10-15%重量的枯草芽孢桿菌液，和貓砂基材5-10%重量的木薯粉、5-10%重量的豆膠，其製造方法的步驟在於： The above-mentioned manufacturing method mainly includes a cat litter base material composed of tea residues, and 10-15% by weight of lactic acid bacteria liquid, 10-15% by weight of yeast liquid, 10-15% by weight of cat litter base material are respectively configured Bacillus subtilis liquid of weight, and the tapioca flour of cat litter base material 5-10% weight, the soybean gum of 5-10% weight, the step of its manufacture method is:

步驟一：將貓砂基材與乳酸菌液、酵母菌液、枯草芽孢桿菌液進行攪拌均勻。 Step 1: Stir the cat litter base material with lactic acid bacteria liquid, yeast liquid and Bacillus subtilis liquid evenly.

步驟二：以30℃溫度醱酵五日，令乳酸菌可以分泌有機酸類降低茶葉渣的酸鹼值，並抑制其他雜菌增生，且酵母菌可在發酵過程中增添茶葉渣香氣，而枯草芽孢桿菌具有降解氨濃度、對抗多種病菌及防霉的效果。醱酵程序之後不僅可以增加菌數，而且可以分解茶葉渣的營養物質並產生天然香氣。 Step 2: Fermentation at 30°C for five days, so that the lactic acid bacteria can secrete organic acids to reduce the pH value of the tea residue and inhibit the proliferation of other bacteria. It has the effect of degrading ammonia concentration, fighting against various bacteria and mildew. After the fermentation process, it can not only increase the number of bacteria, but also decompose the nutrients of the tea residue and produce a natural aroma.

步驟三：取出貓砂基材烘乾至水分含量8-10%。 Step 3: Take out the cat litter substrate and dry it to a moisture content of 8-10%.

步驟四：將貓砂基材磨碎至粒徑100目以下的碎粒，並添加木薯粉、豆膠混合均勻，藉以增加貓砂基材的凝結能力。 Step 4: Grind the cat litter base material to particles with a particle size of less than 100 meshes, and add tapioca flour and soybean gum to mix evenly, so as to increase the coagulation ability of the cat litter base material.

步驟五：造粒，可經由造粒機擠壓、凝聚進行造粒，構成貓砂。 Step 5: Granulation, which can be granulated by extrusion and agglomeration through a granulator to form cat litter.

另又，上述製造方法中的貓砂基材除了單純以茶葉渣所構成之外，更可以重量比50-70%茶葉渣和50-30%豆渣(例如黃豆渣、綠豆渣等等)進行混合所構成，藉由豆渣提供混色效果(改變茶葉渣原有的深褐色),而且全天然的成分利於醱酵、產生香氣。 In addition, the cat litter base material in the above-mentioned manufacturing method can be mixed with 50-70% tea dregs and 50-30% bean dregs (for example, soybean dregs, mung bean dregs, etc.) It is composed of bean dregs to provide a color mixing effect (to change the original dark brown color of the tea dregs), and the all-natural ingredients are conducive to fermenting and producing aroma.

因此，經由本發明製造方法所成型的貓砂，不僅不會有異味，而且全天然的成分也不怕貓誤食，再加上茶葉渣、枯草芽孢桿菌具有除臭、殺菌、降解氨濃度的作用，可以吸收、降解糞便、尿液的異味，達到良好的除臭效果，而且使用後的貓砂也可直接沖入馬桶，極具使用上的便利性。 Therefore, the cat litter formed by the manufacturing method of the present invention not only does not have peculiar smell, but also the all-natural ingredients are not afraid of accidental ingestion by cats, and the tea residue and Bacillus subtilis have the functions of deodorizing, sterilizing and degrading ammonia concentration. It can absorb and degrade the odor of feces and urine to achieve a good deodorizing effect, and the cat litter after use can also be directly flushed into the toilet, which is very convenient to use.
