TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of microbial fermentation, and particularly relates to a rum with jujube aroma characteristics and a brewing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Rum, also known as Laomujiu or Lao Muzhao, is a kind of distilled liquor made from sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice through fermentation, distillation and storage in oak barrels for at least two years. The rum made from sugarcane molasses through fermentation, distillation and aging is called rum internationally. With the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of rum, as the king of cocktail base liquor, is increasing, and the drinking places of rum have penetrated from single bars to ordinary people's homes. However, since the raw material of rum is defined as sugarcane and its by-products, it is both the characteristic and the disadvantage of rum. Since the flavor substances of the liquor are derived from the raw materials, and are also related to the fermentation and distillation process and the aging process, the raw materials of rum are limited in obtaining more flavor substances.
[0003] Chinese patent CN 109706032 A discloses a method for improving the flavor substances of rum, which uses multi-yeast fermentation to increase the diversity of ester substances, and other food materials with different tastes have not been well developed. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the single taste of rum at present, the present application provides a rum prepared by using brown sugar and red dates as fermentation raw materials, and simultaneously inoculating and fermenting FC9 yeast and EC1118 yeast; the rum is aged by using a pottery jar combined with oak chips and baked red dates, and finally a rum with jujube aroma characteristics is prepared.
[0005] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows:
[0006] A rum with jujube aroma characteristics, wherein the raw materials comprise brown sugar, pitted red dates, jujube paste, FC9 yeast and EC1118 yeast.
[0007] Preferably, the jujube paste is a crushed jujube paste obtained by steaming red dates under normal pressure.
[0008] Preferably, the rum selects high-ester-producing yeast EC1118 as auxiliary yeast, which is simultaneously inoculated with yeast FC9; and / or
[0009] The inoculation process is as follows: weigh the yeast FC9 and the yeast EC1118, and activate them with warm water; and / or, add a brown sugar solution to the warm water.
[0010] Preferably, the rum is prepared by distillation using a Charentais kettle still; and / or
[0011] The distillation process is: in the distillation process, using external water circulation condensing system, the condensing temperature is controlled at 10-20℃.
[0012] The above-mentioned rum with jujube aroma characteristics, including the following steps:
[0013] (1) preparation of original rum:
[0014] S1 to the brown sugar solution after adding jujube paste mixed with yeast FC9, yeast EC1118 fermentation, brix ≥7, fermentation is completed;
[0015] S2 using charante kettle distiller distillation; get the original rum;
[0016] (2) aging
[0017] L1 choose pottery jar aging, create a micro-oxygen environment;
[0018] L2 adding 1% of the total volume of the original rum after baking French oak chips;
[0019] L3 adding 1% of the total volume of the original rum without core red jujube;
[0020] L4 choose in 15 ℃ conditions for aging;
[0021] L5 avoid light aging, water seal;
[0022] L6 to 45 %V / V.
[0023] Further, the activated process is: the amount of yeast FC9, yeast EC1118 is 1mg / L; the ratio of the amount of the two is 5:3.
[0024] The above-mentioned rum with jujube aroma characteristics, including the following steps:
[0025] (1) preparation of original rum:
[0026] S1 to the brown sugar solution after adding jujube mixed with yeast FC9, yeast EC1118 fermentation, brix to 7, fermentation is completed;
[0027] S2 using charante kettle distiller distillation; get the original rum;
[0028] (2) aging
[0029] L1 choose pottery jar aging, create a micro-oxygen environment;
[0030] L2 adding 0.5-1.5% of the total volume of the original rum after baking French oak chips;
[0031] L3 adding 0.5-1.5% of the total volume of the original rum of the core red jujube;
[0032] L4 selecting aging at 10-20℃;
[0033] L5 aging in the dark, water seal;
[0034] L6 reducing the degree.
[0035] Further, the step L2 baking conditions are: 200-300℃, 20-60min.
[0036] Further, the step L3 of the core red jujube processing process is: using sterile water immersion, adjusting the water activity of red jujube in 70% to 80%; and then 80~100℃ baking 20~30 min.
[0037] Further, it further includes step L7, back to the pot and aging for 3-7 days, using water seal.
[0038] Further, it further includes step L8, centrifugation after freezing, filter membrane filtration and sealed preservation.
[0039] Further, the freezing conditions are minus 20 degrees Celsius freezing for more than 72h.
[0040] In the aging process, the role of adding baked red jujube is three: first, using the micro-porous structure of red jujube tissue after baking, bringing micro-oxygen to the wine body, and then quickly accelerating the aging, which is a catalyst; second, using the Maillard reaction during red jujube baking, and optimizing the baking conditions to make a large number of Maillard intermediates furan compounds with rich fruit aroma, which is a natural food additive; third, using red jujube in the aging stage, and adding red jujube in the fermentation stage, which makes the flavor of red jujube better.
[0041] The application improves the content of furanone in rum by adding baked red jujube in the aging process, and the specific results are shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1 Effect of baked red jujube on the nutritional components of rum
[0043]
[0044] From the above, different furan compounds show different in the test group. In general, the baking condition of 90℃ 20min is the best. The furan products are more in the 100℃ group (20min, 30min) with longer baking time. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural has a chrysanthemum aroma, 2,3-dihydro-3,5 dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ketone and 3,5-dihydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ketone have a caramel sweet aroma, furan ketone has a rich fruity aroma, furfuryl alcohol has a hay smell, and furfural has a caramel and cassia oil aroma.
[0045] The odor activity value (OAV) method uses OAV to evaluate the contribution of each aroma component to the overall flavor of the wine, and the aroma component with OAV>1 (furan ketone and furfural) is considered to contribute to the overall flavor of the rum, and the greater the OAV value, the greater the contribution. As shown in Table 2, the comprehensive aroma activity of the 90℃ 10min group is the highest, followed by the 90℃ 20min and 80℃ 30min groups.
[0046] Table 2 OAVs results of compounds with OAV>1
[0047]
[0048] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0049] Different from the traditional rum brewing, the present application uses brown sugar and red dates as fermentation raw materials, selects high-yield ester yeast EC1118 as auxiliary yeast, inoculates yeast FC9 at the same time, uses Cognac kettle distiller for low-temperature distillation, and uses pottery jars combined with oak chips and roasted red dates for aging, and then performs freezing treatment to obtain rum with unique taste and date aroma.

[0077]
[0078] Comparative example 1
[0079] Compared with example 2, replace the mixed bacteria of yeast FC9 and yeast EC1118 (mass ratio 5:4)
[0080] The results show that under this condition, the fermentation is slow, and at the end of fermentation, the content of ethyl caproate is 0.098 μg / L, the content of ethyl caprylate is 1.072 μg / L, and the content of ethyl caprate is 4.856 μg / L. The total content of three main medium chain fatty acid esters is lower than that of example 2.
[0081] Comparative example 2
[0082] Compared with example 2, replace the mixed bacteria of yeast FC9 and yeast EC1118 (mass ratio 3:3)
[0083] The results show that the raw material wine in this example ferments slowly, and the residual sugar is high at the end of fermentation, which is 10 brix, so it is abandoned.
[0084] Comparative example 3
[0085] Compared with example 2, replace yeast EC1118 and use RC212 and FC9 yeast for mixed brewing.
