Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of brewing, and in particular relates to cordyceps and highland barley beer with health-care functions and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Beer is known as "liquid bread". The general production process of beer mainly includes: malt crushing, gelatinization, saccharification, filtration, boiling to obtain wort, cooling, fermentation to obtain raw beer, filtration and other steps. In addition to malt, the initial raw materials used generally also include rice. Brewing water is added during the gelatinization, filtration, boiling, fermentation and filtration after fermentation of malt, and hops are added during the boiling process.
[0003] However, traditionally brewed beer is only used as a beverage by consumers and cannot prevent or treat any diseases of the human body.
[0004] If there is a health beer that not only has the same pure and refreshing taste as regular beer, but also has health and health benefits, it will be a great contribution to the beer field. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention provides cordyceps and highland barley beer with health care function and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] The preparation method of cordyceps highland barley beer with health care function comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1. The Cordyceps fermentation filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure, filtered, and dried to obtain Cordyceps polysaccharide for later use;
[0009] S2. Mix wheat malt and highland barley malt as raw materials, saccharify, filter to obtain wort, boil the wort, and add hops during the boiling process;
[0010] S3. The boiled wort was allowed to stand and cooled to 18°C, and then fermented yeast mud was added. When the residual sugar in the fermentation liquid dropped to 1.2°P, the fermentation was stopped and then stored to obtain beer for later use;
[0011] S4. Add the prepared cordyceps polysaccharide into beer to obtain cordyceps and highland barley beer with health care function.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the cordyceps highland barley beer with health care function prepared by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] Enhance immunity: Cordyceps polysaccharide, as the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, has a significant immunomodulatory effect. Cordyceps polysaccharide activates the activity of immune cells (such as macrophages, T lymphocytes, etc.), promotes the secretion of cytokines, promotes the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, and improves the body's immunity, thereby helping to resist the invasion of external pathogens and reduce the occurrence of colds and other diseases.
[0018] Antioxidant and anti-aging: Antioxidants in cordyceps polysaccharides and highland barley (such as vitamin E, selenium, etc.) can remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage, thereby delaying the aging process and keeping the skin young.
[0019] Regulating blood sugar: Highland barley is rich in soluble dietary fiber such as β-glucan, which can delay the absorption of sugar by the gastrointestinal tract, reduce blood sugar fluctuations, help stabilize blood sugar levels, and have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on diabetic patients.
[0020] Promote digestion: The dietary fiber in highland barley can also promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, help defecation, soften stool, and promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby improving digestive function and preventing constipation and intestinal diseases.
[0021] Improve cardiovascular health: The unsaturated fatty acids in Cordyceps polysaccharides and highland barley can lower the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, reduce the deposition of lipids in the blood vessel walls, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, thereby protecting cardiovascular health.
[0022] Improve mental state: The alcohol in beer can relax nerves, relieve stress and improve mental state. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and equipment used can be purchased from the market or are commonly used in the art. The methods in the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, are conventional methods in the art. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0024] The preparation of cordyceps highland barley beer with health care function is a process that combines traditional beer brewing technology with modern biological extraction technology. The following is the preparation process of cordyceps highland barley beer in this scheme:
[0025] 1. Extraction and preparation of Cordyceps polysaccharide
[0026] Preparation of Cordyceps Materials: Choose dry high-quality Cordyceps as raw materials, ensuring that there are no impurities and mildew. The type of Cordyceps can be selected according to actual needs, such as Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris, etc.
[0027] Fermentation: The cordyceps is crushed or sliced to improve the fermentation efficiency. Then, the cordyceps powder or slices are placed in a suitable fermentation medium, and an appropriate amount of fermentation agent is added to ferment under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. The fermentation time depends on the type of cordyceps and the activity of the fermentation agent, and generally takes several days to several weeks.
[0028] Fermentation filtrate collection: After the fermentation is completed, the fermentation liquid is separated from the solid residue by filtration, centrifugation and other methods to obtain the Cordyceps fermentation filtrate.
[0029] Vacuum concentration: The Cordyceps fermentation filtrate is placed in a vacuum concentration device for vacuum concentration treatment to remove excess water and increase the concentration of Cordyceps polysaccharides.
[0030] Filtration and drying: The concentrated cordyceps fermentation filtrate is filtered again to remove possible impurities and microorganisms. Then, the filtered cordyceps polysaccharide solution is dried to obtain cordyceps polysaccharide powder for standby use.
[0031] 2. Preparation of wort
[0032] Raw material selection and ratio: Select high-quality wheat malt and highland barley malt as raw materials and mix them in a mass ratio of 3:7. Wheat malt provides the main flavor and aroma of beer, while highland barley malt gives beer a unique taste and nutritional value.
[0033] Saccharification process: Place the mixed malt in a saccharification pot, add an appropriate amount of water, heat and stir. The saccharification temperature and time should be determined according to the type of malt and saccharification requirements to ensure that the starch in the malt is fully converted into maltose and other soluble sugars.
[0034] Filtration and boiling: After saccharification, the wort is separated from the malt residue by filtering equipment. The obtained wort is boiled to kill microorganisms, coagulate protein and extract the bitter and aromatic components in the hops. Hops should be added in time during the boiling process, and the type and amount of hops should be adjusted as needed.
[0035] 3. Fermentation and storage of beer
[0036] Cooling and inoculation: Let the boiled wort stand and cool to a suitable fermentation temperature (such as 18°C). Then, add 10% of the activated fermentation yeast mud by mass. The inoculation amount of yeast mud should be determined according to the yeast activity, wort concentration and fermentation requirements.
[0037] Fermentation process: Under suitable fermentation conditions (such as temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, etc.), yeast is allowed to reproduce and metabolize in the wort, converting maltose and other soluble sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. During the fermentation process, the residual sugar content, alcohol content, pH value and other indicators of the fermentation liquid should be regularly tested to determine the fermentation progress and effect.
[0038] Stop fermentation and storage: When the residual sugar in the fermentation liquid drops to 1.2°P (or adjust according to actual needs), stop fermentation. Filter, sterilize and bottle the fermented beer, and then place it in a suitable environment for storage and maturation. The storage time should be determined according to the type of beer and maturation requirements to ensure that the flavor and quality of the beer are in the best state.
[0039] 4. Addition of Cordyceps Polysaccharide and Preparation of Finished Product
[0040] Dissolution of Cordyceps Polysaccharide: Add the prepared Cordyceps Polysaccharide powder to the matured and filtered beer at a mass ratio of 1%. The dissolution process should be fully stirred to ensure that the Cordyceps Polysaccharide is evenly dispersed in the beer.
[0041] Homogenization and filling: The beer with cordyceps polysaccharide added is homogenized to eliminate possible particles and bubbles. Then, the homogenized beer is filled to obtain the finished cordyceps highland barley beer with health functions.
[0042] Quality testing and packaging: The finished product is tested for quality, including indicators such as alcohol content, sugar content, pH value, taste and flavor. After passing the test, it is packaged and marked with product information (such as production date, shelf life, ingredient list, etc.).
[0043] The prepared cordyceps highland barley beer with health-care function has the following effects:
[0044] 1. Boosts Immunity:
[0045] As the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, Cordyceps polysaccharide has a significant immunomodulatory effect. Cordyceps polysaccharide activates the activity of immune cells (such as macrophages, T lymphocytes, etc.), promotes the secretion of cytokines, promotes the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, and improves the body's immunity, thereby helping to resist the invasion of external pathogens and reduce the occurrence of colds and other diseases.
[0046] Antioxidant and anti-aging:
[0047] The antioxidants in Cordyceps polysaccharides and highland barley (such as vitamin E, selenium, etc.) can remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage, thereby delaying the aging process and keeping the skin youthful.
[0048] Regulates Blood Sugar:
[0049] Highland barley is rich in soluble dietary fiber such as β-glucan, which can delay the absorption of sugar by the gastrointestinal tract, reduce blood sugar fluctuations, help stabilize blood sugar levels, and have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on diabetic patients.
[0050] 1. Improves Digestion:
[0051] The dietary fiber in highland barley can also promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, help defecation, soften stool, and promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby improving digestive function and preventing constipation and intestinal diseases.
[0052] 1. Improves Cardiovascular Health:
[0053] The unsaturated fatty acids in Cordyceps polysaccharides and highland barley can lower the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, reduce the deposition of lipids in the blood vessel walls, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, and thus protect cardiovascular health.
