Research on the Formula and Efficacy of Healthy Tea with Choleretic Effect
A healthy tea with choleretic effects was developed using saffron and cassia seed as the main ingredients.Through choleretic experiments on rats,it was found that cassia seed significantly increased the levels of bile acids and total bilirubin,while saffron notably enhanced bile secretion while reducing cholesterol levels.The optimal dosage of the main ingredients was determined to be 4.0 g of cassia seed and 0.05 g of saffron.Furthermore,the flavor quality of the tea bags was optimized by adding red dates,goji berries,and chrysanthemum buds.It was observed that the addition of 2.0 g of red dates,2.2 g of goji berries,and 0.2 g of chrysanthemum buds resulted in a tea with a delicate aroma and a sweet-sour taste,indicating the best flavor quality of the tea bags.Animal experiments confirmed that drinking the tea increased bile secretion,improved the metabolic levels of bile constituents,and exhibited significant choleretic effects.This study provides a basis and reference for the development of health foods with choleretic effects.
