Abstract:

To clarify the dynamic changes of water loss during the spreading process of fresh tea leaves under different environmental conditions, a prediction model for the changes of the moisture content of fresh tea leaves was constructed to predict the degree of spreading. In this experiment, different temperature and humidity were set to investigate the change of moisture content of fresh tea leaves during a certain spreading time, and the prediction model was established by response surface analysis software. The results showed that the moisture content of fresh tea leaves decreased quickly and then slowly with the extension of spreading time in different environments, and the low temperature and high humidity environment could significantly delay the water loss rate of fresh leaves. The prediction model (R2=0.9977) of the relationship between fresh tea leaf moisture content and temperature, humidity and time was obtained by response surface analysis, which had high significance and fitting degree, and good prediction effect. Therefore, the model constructed in this experiment could be used to forecast the moisture changes of fresh tea leaves under different temperature and humidity conditions and have practical application value for the regulation of the spreading process.
