Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rye wine fermentation production technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing rye wine using enzyme preparations and a rye wine compound enzyme. Background Technology

[0002] Rye is a widely cultivated minor grain crop in my country, rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, starch, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins, offering excellent nutritional and health benefits. Due to its high nutritional value and economic viability, the market offers an increasingly diverse range of rye-rich products, with traditional rye-based foods such as baijiu (Chinese liquor), beer, and vinegar gaining popularity. However, traditional fermentation processes often use koji (a type of starter culture) as a saccharifying agent. Koji cannot completely break down and utilize the polysaccharides in rye, resulting in a lower sugar yield compared to enzyme-catalyzed fermentation, and a longer fermentation cycle. Furthermore, the high content of pentosans and gluten in rye affects the viscosity, liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation processes of the mash.

[0003] Traditional baijiu (Chinese white liquor) production processes often use grains, tubers, and root vegetables as raw materials. These materials typically contain varying amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose, β-glucan, and pectin. However, the microorganisms in the starter culture and the endogenous enzymes in the raw materials lack sufficient ability to break down these large molecules, resulting in reduced raw material utilization. Furthermore, because the aroma compounds in the raw materials are encapsulated by these difficult-to-decompose macromolecules, they cannot be fully released, leading to a finished liquor that is overly spicy and lacks richness. This reduces the quality of the liquor or prolongs its aging period, increasing production costs.

[0004] Developing an enzyme preparation for fermenting rye into liquor is a new challenge in rye liquor fermentation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method using enzyme preparations.

[0009] Furthermore, the rye wine complex enzyme is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: pullulanase 1 to 2 parts, xylanase 3 to 5 parts, β-glucosidase 2 to 5 parts, neutral protease 0.1 to 0.3 parts, and lipase 0.05 to 0.1 parts.

[0011] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing rye spirits using the aforementioned rye spirit complex enzyme, comprising the following specific steps:

[0012] Step S1, Material Preparation

[0013] Weigh an appropriate amount of rye raw material, remove impurities, and grind it to obtain rye flour;

[0014] Step S2, pre-cooking the mixed ingredients

[0015] Steam the rye flour in boiling water, add water and stir until well mixed to obtain a rye flour slurry;

[0017] Add liquefying enzyme to rye flour slurry and hydrolyze at 70℃~80℃ for 30min~45min to obtain gelatinized product;

[0018] Step S4, Saccharification

[0019] After the gelatinized material is cooled to 50℃~55℃, add the saccharifying enzyme and mix well. After enzymatic hydrolysis for 60min~90min, the saccharified solution is obtained.

[0020] Step S5, Fermentation and Distillation

[0021] Add rye wine complex enzyme to the saccharification liquid and mix well. Inoculate with yeast and ferment at a temperature of 30℃~32℃ for 15~30 days to obtain fermented product. Distill and condense the fermented product to obtain rye wine.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S1, the particle size of the rye flour is 25μm to 50μm.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S2, the boiling water cooking time is 30-40 minutes, and the amount of water added is 4-5 times the mass of the raw rye flour.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the liquefying enzyme is α-amylase, and the amount added is 15 U / g to 20 U / g of raw rye flour.
