Abstract: To investigate the extracting conditions and drying process on GABA instant tea, taking ‘Jin Xuan’ varieties as raw material to GABA black tea, water as extraction solvent, orthogonal array design was used to optimize the extraction parameters of GABA instant black tea. On the basis of the optimum extraction process conditions, the effects of spray drying and freeze-drying on GABA instant black tea was investigated. Taking GABA content as the main evaluation index, the optimum technological conditions for GABA instant black tea was as followed: 90℃ as extraction temperature，extraction of tea for 15 min, 1 to 15 as ratio of tea to water, freeze-drying. GABA instant black tea with 10.11 mg/g GABA was achieved under this condition. With high yield GABA, this process could be helpful to the efficient producing GABA instant-tea in industry.
