The main purpose of deactivation of enzymes is to destruct and passivate the activity of oxidase in foliage through high temperature, so as to inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols. By evaporating part of the water in leaves, fresh tea leaves will get soft, which is easy to be rolled into shapes. Meanwhile, it enables tea leaves to form high-quality aroma. This paper introduces a piece of equipment to deactivate enzymes in foliage with a flue gas disposing function, which benefits the users in reducing cost and improving efficiency. The practicability of the equipment is enhanced as well.
