The invention discloses
eucommia bark fermented health care vinegar and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a basic
fermentation solution: crushing
ponkan pulp, extracting juice, conducting coarse
filtration, conveying the obtained juice into a cloudy juice tank, adding a folium cortex eucommiae extracting solution, regulating a
sugar content and conducting
pasteurization, so that the basic
fermentation solution is prepared; (2) conducting primary
fermentation: inoculating the basic solution with an activated
wine-activating
yeast, and conducting fermentation at 20-28 DEG C for 5-10 days, so that
eucommia bark-
ponkan fruit wine is prepared, conducting
filtration, and conveying the
fruit wine into an
acetic acid fermentation tank; and (3) conducting secondary fermentation: adding 8-12% of domesticated
acetic acid bacterium liquid to the
eucommia bark-
ponkan fruit wine; and conducting aerating agitation for 2-3 times every day at 26-33 DEG C for 3-4 days, 1min per time, so that the fruit
wine gets into full contact with
oxygen, and subsequently, the health care vinegar is obtained. According to the health care vinegar and the preparation method thereof disclosed by the invention, by effectively integrating such technologies as vacuum pulsation enhanced
mass transfer, biological fermentation,
enzymatic hydrolysis and the like, an optimum effect of preparing the eucommia bark fermented health care vinegar from the folium cortex eucommiae and the ponkan juice is achieved; and the health care vinegar is strong in market competitiveness and broad in application prospect.
