Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquor processing, in particular to a method for catalyzing liquor aging. BACKGROUND

[0002] Liquor is a traditional liquor in China and is also a distillate liquor known worldwide, and is one of the seven major distillate liquors in the world. It has won the favor of the public with its long history, exquisite technology and unique style. The newly distilled liquor is generally pungent, not mellow, and not soft, and contains volatile substances such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, sulfides, and a small amount of propylene aldehyde, butylene aldehyde, free ammonia and other impurity substances. These substances and other substances with similar boiling points constitute the main body of the new wine flavor. If these substances are reduced, the new wine flavor and impurity flavor will be less. Generally, through storage, a large amount of low-boiling-point odor substances are volatilized, reducing the impurities in the wine. Therefore, the newly distilled liquor is pungent, violent, and has strong irritating alcohol flavor, sediment flavor, mud flavor, bitter flavor and other strange flavors. It needs to be stored for a certain period of time to make the impurities disappear, the wine body soft and the flavor increase, and the wine body mellow and soft, and the taste more coordinated. This change is generally called aging, also known as aging.

[0003] In the aging process of liquor, the storage time is often long, which occupies a large amount of factory building and equipment, and accumulates a large amount of funds. The leakage loss of the liquor is also large, which seriously affects the turnover of production funds, increases the cost, and is not suitable for the requirements of modern economic development. Therefore, liquor factories have been looking forward to a new type of high-efficiency practical artificial aging technology, which can greatly increase the yield and improve the production efficiency on the basis of ensuring the same taste quality and style of liquor. Therefore, research on accelerating the aging of liquor and improving the efficiency has become an important research topic in the liquor industry. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved: In view of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for catalyzing liquor aging, which uses a method of pressurization combined with sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane to treat newly brewed liquor. The pressurization can promote the collision between liquor molecules and accelerate the occurrence of aging reaction. The sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane can filter the liquor, and at the same time, it has the function of selectively passing esters. The composite enzyme loaded thereon can accelerate the aging speed of the liquor.

[0005] Technical scheme: A method for catalyzing liquor aging, which uses a method of pressurization combined with sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane treatment. Further, the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane is loaded with a composite enzyme; the pore size of the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane is 0.01-0.1 μm, and the porosity is 75-80%.

[0006] Further, the complex enzyme is ethanol dehydrogenase, esterifying enzyme and inositol oxidase, and the mass ratio of the three is 1:10:4.

[0007] Further, the preparation method of the sepiolite-chitosan composite film is as follows:

[0008] (1) The sepiolite powder is soaked with 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 for 16 h, filtered, washed with distilled water until neutral, and dried to obtain modified sepiolite powder;

[0009] (2) Take chitosan powder, add 2% acetic acid solution and stir to dissolve, add modified sepiolite powder, and continue to stir for 1 h as an electrospinning solution;

[0010] (3) Using an electrospinning device, the electrospinning solution is placed in a needle cylinder, and electrospinning is carried out to obtain an electrospinning film;

[0011] (4) The electrospinning film is taken off from the receiving plate and placed in a vacuum drying oven at 60°C for drying;

[0012] (5) Soak in a 5% hexanediamine solution for 1 h, and then wash with distilled water;

[0013] (6) Continue to soak in a 3% glutaraldehyde solution for 75 min, and then wash with distilled water to obtain a modified composite film;

[0014] (7) The complex enzyme is fully dissolved in a solution with a pH of 6.5-7.0 to obtain a complex enzyme solution, and the modified composite film is soaked in it for 8-10 h to obtain a sepiolite-chitosan composite film.

[0015] Further, the sepiolite particle size is 500-1000 nm.

[0016] Further, the chitosan Mw=200000, and the degree of deacetylation is 90%.

[0017] Further, the mass-volume ratio of chitosan, acetic acid solution and modified sepiolite powder is (2-4) g:100 mL:(10-18) g.

[0018] Further, the electrospinning conditions are as follows: electrospinning temperature is 25-28°C, electrospinning solution flow rate is 0.1-0.5 mL / h, electrospinning voltage is 18V, and distance from receiving plate is 15 cm.

[0019] Further, the above-mentioned method for catalyzing the aging of baijiu specifically includes the following steps:

[0020] S1: Pressurizedly conveying new baijiu from a storage to a self-made container, and laying 2-4 layers of sepiolite-chitosan composite film in the upper part of the self-made container;

[0021] S2: continuously pressurizing from the bottom of the container, and the newly brewed liquor is reverse osmosis through the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane from bottom to top for aging for 30 minutes;

[0022] S3: collecting the liquor through the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane from the upper part of the container, and obtaining the aged liquor.

[0023] Further, the pressurizing pressure in S2 is 15-66 MPa.

[0024] Beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The method of the present application uses pressurization combined with a sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane to treat the newly brewed liquor. The pressurization can promote the collision between the liquor molecules and the extrusion collision between the liquor and the composite membrane, and accelerate the aging reaction. The porous structure of the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane can filter the liquor. Meanwhile, the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane has a selective passing effect on esters, and the composite enzyme loaded thereon can accelerate the aging speed of the liquor.

[0026] 2. The present application uses a bottom pressurization mode, and the newly brewed liquor is reverse osmosis through the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane from bottom to top. On the one hand, the flow rate of the liquor can be controlled by the pressure, so as to control the contact time of the liquor with the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane. On the other hand, the pressure strength is considered. According to the data, when the pressurization strength is greater than 66 MPa, the aging effect of the liquor does not increase obviously, and when the pressurization strength is greater than 80 MPa, the composite membrane will be damaged. Therefore, the pressurization strength of the present application is less than 66 MPa.

[0027] 3. The sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane in the present application has an adsorption effect on the four esters in the liquor. Since the affinity of ethyl lactate is stronger than that of ethyl hexanoate, the ethyl lactate can quickly displace the adsorbed ethyl hexanoate, so that the content of ethyl lactate is reduced, and finally a better ratio of ethyl lactate to ethyl hexanoate is obtained, so that the liquor has a better aroma and taste.

[0028] 4. In the present application, sepiolite is added to chitosan, which not only increases the adsorption effect, but also improves the acid resistance of the composite membrane. On the other hand, the -OH in sepiolite can form hydrogen bonds with the -OH and -NH2 in chitosan, thereby improving the mechanical properties.

[0029] 5. The composite enzyme is loaded and fixed on the composite membrane in the present application, so that it can be reused, which not only saves resources, but also saves the step of enzyme inactivation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0196] Determination of total acid: organic acid is both a flavoring substance and a taste substance in liquor, and is a precursor of synthetic ester. The acid in the liquor body is related to the aftertaste of the liquor, and insufficient acid results in short liquor taste;

[0197] Determination of total ester: ester compounds are the main body of liquor flavor, and exhibit a certain bitter taste at a certain concentration.

[0198] Determination of fusel oil: n-propanol, isobutyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol in Baijiu constitute fusel oil, n-propanol and isobutyl alcohol have bitter taste and affect the taste of Baijiu; too much fusel oil in Baijiu will make the Baijiu have strong irritation and cause headache after drinking.

[0199] Determination of clarity: after Baijiu is frozen for more than 12 hours, it is naturally restored to 0℃, and the turbidity of the Baijiu sample is observed by visual method.

[0200] Table 3: determination of physicochemical indexes of Baijiu

[0201] Total acid (g / L) Total ester (g / L) Fusel oil (g / L) Clarity Initial 0.58 3.06 0.84 Hazy, loss of brilliance Example 11 0.71 2.73 0.38 Clear and transparent Example 12 0.72 2.75 0.36 Clear and transparent Example 13 0.72 2.78 0.33 Clear and transparent Example 14 0.70 2.70 0.40 Clear and transparent Example 15 0.73 2.81 0.31 Clear and transparent Comparative Example 2 0.74 2.79 0.50 Clear and transparent Comparative Example 3 0.56 2.98 0.81 With flocculent suspension Comparative Example 4 0.67 2.84 0.53 Clear and transparent Aged naturally for 3 years 0.75 2.78 0.30 Clear and transparent

[0202] As can be seen from Table 3, the total acid content of Baijiu aged by the application increases, the total ester content decreases, which is consistent with the traditional aging trend of Baijiu, mainly because the complex enzyme and the pressurization accelerate the conversion of alcohol substances in Baijiu into acid substances, and promote the hydrolysis of ester substances in Baijiu, so the total acid content of Baijiu increases, the total ester content decreases, and the alcohol content decreases. From the data, after the pressurization intensity is 66 MPa, the aging effect of Baijiu does not increase significantly, and when the pressurization intensity reaches 80 MPa, the composite membrane will be damaged, so the application selects 66 MPa or less. n-propanol, isobutyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol in Baijiu constitute fusel oil, n-propanol and isobutyl alcohol have bitter taste and affect the taste of Baijiu; too much fusel oil in Baijiu will make the Baijiu have strong irritation, and after the treatment of the application, the content of fusel oil decreases significantly.

[0203] The content of main taste-producing ester, acid and alcohol substances in Baijiu was determined, and the results are shown in Table 4 below:

[0204] Table 4: content of main taste-producing ester, acid and alcohol substances

[0205]

[0206] As shown in Table 4, the contents of ethyl hexanoate, ethyl acetate, and ethyl butyrate in the baijiu aged by the catalytic aging process of this invention increased, while the content of ethyl lactate decreased. This is mainly because the sepiolite-chitosan composite membrane used has an adsorption effect on these four esters. Since ethyl lactate has a stronger affinity than ethyl hexanoate, it quickly displaces the adsorbed ethyl hexanoate, thus reducing the ethyl lactate content. Ultimately, the ratio of ethyl lactate to ethyl hexanoate in Example 13 was 0.73, and in Example 15 it was 0.70, both falling within the optimal ratio range of 0.4-0.8. The initial ratio of 0.83 resulted in a poorer taste and aroma. The significant increase in butyric acid and hexanoic acid content is mainly related to the hydrolysis of ethyl butyrate and ethyl hexanoate; while the lactic acid content changed less, mainly due to the adsorption of ethyl lactate, reducing its content and decreasing the amount of hydrolysate raw materials. Among them, valeric acid, heptanoic acid and β-phenylethanol are also the main aroma substances in baijiu. Although their content is relatively low in the overall content of baijiu, their aroma effect is more obvious. After being processed by the method of this invention, their content has also increased significantly.

[0207] Sensory evaluation was conducted on the processed liquor. The evaluation team randomly selected 10 participants from the research institute to conduct sensory evaluations, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0208] Table 5 Sensory Evaluation of Baijiu

[0209] Colour (10) Aroma (25) Taste (50) Style (15) Total score (100) Initial 8 18 29 14 69 Example 13 10 24 45 15 94 Comparative Example 2 10 23 45 15 93 Comparative Example 3 9 20 33 14 76 Comparative Example 4 10 21 44 15 90 Aged naturally for 3 years 10 23 47 15 95

[0210] As can be seen from Table 5 above, the color, aroma and taste of the baijiu aged by the catalytic aging of this invention are basically the same as those of baijiu aged naturally for 3 years.
