Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of beer brewing, in particular to a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention specialty flavor specialty beer and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Beer is rich in a large number of amino acids, vitamins, sugars and inorganic salts and other nutrients, and is the third most consumed beverage in the world, only next to water and tea. Craft beer is a product of beer enthusiasts who simply pursue higher beer quality, and there is no clear definition, but it is highlighted that no artificial chemicals are added, and the cost is not considered too much in pursuit of higher quality. The current domestic mass beer market is saturated and the commodity is seriously homogenized, and based on people's pursuit of high-end specialty beer products, fruit-flavored craft beer has also begun to popularize.

[0003] Pre-fermentation of fruits followed by addition of fruit juice to the fermenting wort at different stages of brewing according to the needs of the wine style is one of the common techniques to introduce fruit flavor into beer. This method has the advantages of higher fusion of fruits and beer flavor, easier control of the influence of fruits (such as organic acid components) on the main fermentation of beer, etc. compared with direct addition of fruit juice. However, when pre-fermenting fruits, additional starch hydrolysis emulsion needs to be added to provide carbon source for the growth of yeast used in pre-fermentation unless the fruits themselves contain a large amount of fermentable sugar. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an edible green algae, which can be used as a good source of chlorophyll, with a protein content of more than 40%, and is rich in eight essential amino acids and elements such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc. The cellulose content is also much higher than that of Spirulina and Chlorella. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii also has the advantages of high starch content, no or only simple breaking wall treatment, etc. Therefore, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a wide application prospect as a new food raw material. However, there are few reports on the application of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in the field of food processing in China, and there is no related beer product. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a certain degree of fishy smell as an algae, which is the main reason limiting its use as a food processing raw material. The common methods for removing fishy smell from algae are: using adsorbents such as activated carbon to remove fishy smell, β-cyclodextrin embedding to mask fishy smell, and neutral protease treatment to remove fishy smell. The above methods can reduce the fishy smell to different degrees, but they are not suitable for the production of craft beer because they have a great influence on the quality and flavor of the beer body, and the additional use of artificial agents is contrary to the concept of craft beer. Yeast deodorization technology refers to the conversion of fishy smell components into non-fishy smell substances through the metabolism of yeast. At present, there have been studies on the application of yeast deodorization technology in the deodorization of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, but the deodorization effect is not good. For example, Zhao Jinyao et al. reported in the Chinese publication "China Food Additives", No. 9, 2021, pp. 44-50 that the deodorization effect of β-cyclodextrin and yeast was compared, and the results showed that only yeast could not remove all the fishy smell, and the flavor was not coordinated.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a production process of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii specialty flavor craft beer with fruit flavor and no fishy smell. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above technical deficiencies, and to provide a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention specialty flavor craft beer and its production process, which solves the technical problem that the introduction of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii into beer brings fishy smell.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a production process of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention specialty flavor craft beer, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, preparing a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii;

[0008] S2, mixing the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension and pure fruit juice and pre-fermenting, and obtaining a fruit juice fermentation bottom liquid after the pre-fermentation is completed;

[0009] S3, saccharifying and preliminarily fermenting the saccharification raw material, and obtaining a wort fermentation liquid after the preliminary fermentation is completed;

[0010] S4, mixing the fruit juice fermentation bottom liquid and the wort fermentation liquid, and performing main fermentation under the conditions of the preliminary fermentation in S3, and obtaining a mixed fermentation liquid after the main fermentation is completed;

[0011] S5, after the mixed fermentation liquid is cooled and pressurized, the specialty flavor craft beer with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention is obtained after the wine liquid is completed.

[0012] In the second aspect, the application provides a specialty flavor craft beer with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention, which is obtained by the preparation process of the specialty flavor craft beer with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intervention provided in the first aspect of the application.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the application, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with high starch content and rich in nutrients is used as a carbon source for fruit pre-fermentation, and the masking effect of beer yeast fermentation on the characteristic flavor of fruit is utilized to achieve the purpose of deodorizing Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, so that the health care effect and characteristic fruit flavor of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are introduced into the craft beer; unlike traditional deodorizing technology, no chemical reagent is added for deodorizing.

[0015] The process of the application introduces Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and fruit juice into the craft beer, which not only adds diversified nutritional ingredients and health care effects to the beer, but also enables the finished beer product to have a unique fruit flavor, which is of great significance for expanding the domestic homogenized beer market and filling the gap in the field of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii food processing, and provides a new idea for the development of specialty flavor craft beer and the application of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in the field of food processing.

[0024] The present application firstly adopts the form of co-fermentation of juice and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to obtain a juice fermentation bottom liquid, and uses the juice fermentation bottom liquid in the subsequent process of preparing a craft beer. The inventors accidentally found that the specialty-flavor craft beer obtained by the present application has a unique fruit flavor and no odor residue, which indicates that the present application has a good deodorization effect by using the masking effect of beer yeast fermentation on the fruit specialty flavor.

[0025] In the embodiment, step S1 specifically comprises:

[0026] S11, culturing Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to a cell concentration reaching a target concentration to obtain a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell suspension;

[0027] S12, crushing the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell suspension to obtain a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii starch suspension;

[0036] The present invention does not limit the type of pure fruit juice used in step S2. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual conditions. In principle, the introduced fruit flavor can coordinate with the flavor of beer such as malt and not be abrupt, and these fruit flavors can be used to mask the fishy smell to a certain extent. For example, the pure fruit juice is at least one of mulberry juice, cherry juice, peach juice and durian juice. Mulberries, cherries and peaches are local specialty germplasm resources in the Han River Basin, and durian has a large audience due to its unique flavor. They can supplement the human body with a variety of nutrients and have also been reported to have various health benefits such as slowing down hair loss, anemia, anti-oxidation and aging, or anti-inflammation. There are related health products on the domestic market, but the types of related health craft beers are few and the promotion is low.

[0108] Comparative Example 1

[0109] A production process of a craft beer added with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii not subjected to pre-fermentation treatment, comprising the following steps:

[0110] (1) Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is treated in the same manner as step (1) in Example 1 to obtain a sterilized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension.

[0111] (2) The steps of malt treatment, saccharification, solid-liquid separation, boiling, hop addition, spin settling and cooling, and tank fermentation are sequentially performed to obtain a wort fermentation liquid. The condition parameters of the above steps are consistent with those in step (4) in Example 1.

[0112] (3) The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension obtained in (1) is added to the wort fermentation liquid with a sugar content reduced to below 5°P, and the addition amount is 3.5% of the total volume of the fermentation liquid (which is consistent with the proportion of the actual Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension in Example 1), and the fermentation is continued under the original conditions. The condition parameters or subsequent operations are consistent with those in step (6) in Example 1, and the finished wine is obtained after the completion of the wine maturation.

[0113] Comparative Example 2

[0114] A production process of a craft beer, comprising the following steps:

[0115] The steps of malt treatment, saccharification, solid-liquid separation, boiling, hop addition, spin settling and cooling, and tank fermentation are sequentially performed, and the wort fermentation liquid is cooled and pressurized after the sugar content is reduced to below 5°P, and the wine maturation is completed. The condition parameters of the above steps are consistent with those in steps (4) and (6) in Example 1.

[0116] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that no fruit characteristic flavor is introduced, and the difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that no Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension is added.

[0117] The products of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are subjected to taste testing, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0118] Table 1: Comparison of taste evaluation of examples and comparative examples based on the method of the present application

[0119]

[0120] From the comparison of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the addition of the untreated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glucose suspension directly into beer will destroy the harmony of the beer itself, while the beer produced by the co-fermentation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and fruit juice in the examples of the present application not only has better taste and flavor, but also has no algae smell. Compared with Comparative Example 2, Examples 1-4 impart a brand-new characteristic flavor to the traditional craft beer on the basis of the original quality.

[0121] The specific embodiments of the present application described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present application. Any various other corresponding changes and modifications made in accordance with the technical concept of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
