The aim is to develop and implement an innovative technology for obtaining, preparing and processing herbal raw materials and to develop improved homogeneous herbal teas with unique quality features. New products will be produced in designed innovative technologies and will be characterized by unique quality features.

Development of: algorithms of dependencies between the parameters of herbal raw materials and the characteristics of NIR spectra; prepare method of herbal raw materials based on NIR analyzer algorithms; a new process control algorithm, taking into account the correlation between the parameters of improved herbal teas and the characteristics of NIR spectra, technology on the pilot line.

The changing legal and normative landscape motivated BELiN to search for a precise tool to protect against counterfeiting raw materials for tea production. Taking into account the specificity of the food industry, characterized by large supply volumes, large production volumes, and a growing chain of intermediaries, the methods of qualitative analysis of raw materials must be fast, cheap, precise and applicable at various stages of production. In the current model of cooperation, the farmer supplies the entrepreneur with herbal raw materials, which are a mixture of various types of particles (fractions) of herbal raw materials with different characteristics. With appropriate algorithms, you can obtain a product with the desired optimal final quality parameters (constant volume of the raw material in the sachet, repetitive taste and color of the infusion in each sachet, the lowest degree of processing of the herbal raw material, uniform granulometric fraction). The intention of BELiN is

As part of the work, improved homogeneous teas will be developed using the innovative technology of obtaining, preparing and processing herbal raw materials. The teas will obtain a number of unique qualitative and functional features with parameters adequate to pharmaceutical standards, defined in the guidelines of the Pharmacopoeia. An innovative technology for obtaining, preparing and processing herbal raw materials in the production of improved homogeneous herbal teas will be developed. The technology will enable precise dosing of the product, while maintaining a stable quality of product production. Plastic waste reduction. Providing the end customer with information about the product (QR code) in an accessible way. Improvement of Farmer-Entrepreneur information exchange.
