Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microbial resource utilization of Maotai-flavor Daqu, and in particular to a screening device and method for ester-producing yeast in Maotai-flavor Daqu. Background Art

[0002] In the brewing process of Maotai-flavor Daqu, the screening and utilization of ester-producing yeast plays a vital role in improving the flavor of the wine and enriching the aroma components. However, traditional screening methods often have problems such as low screening efficiency, complex operation, and unstable results. Specifically, traditional methods usually rely on manual screening and cultivation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to ensure that the screened ester-producing yeast is optimal in terms of yield and type. At the same time, the control of key parameters such as temperature and pH value during the cultivation process is not precise enough, resulting in limited yeast growth rate and esterification ability, which further affects the improvement of wine flavor.

[0003] In addition, the traditional method is also relatively single in the selection of culture medium, which often cannot meet the specific needs of different ester-producing yeasts. Especially for the special environment of Maotai-flavor Daqu, how to simulate its unique microbial ecosystem and improve the adaptability and activity of ester-producing yeasts is a problem that traditional methods are difficult to overcome.

[0004] In summary, the urgency of technological innovation is obvious. Developing a new ester-producing yeast screening device and method that integrates temperature control, stirring, pH detection, multi-stage screening and efficient freeze-drying protection is of great significance for improving the quality of Maotai-flavor Daqu, optimizing the production process and realizing industrial production.
