Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of winemaking, in particular to a method for controlling the content of ethyl carbamate in dry white wine. Background Art
[0002] Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a natural byproduct of the production and storage of most fermented foods (such as bread, milk, etc.) and alcoholic beverages (beer, liquor, wine, etc.). In 2007, the International Agency for Research on Cancer upgraded the carcinogenicity level of EC from the previous 2B to 2A, and some major wine producing countries have also successively established limits for EC in wine. The limit of EC in American table wine is 15μg·L -1 The EC limit in wines from Canada, South Korea and the Czech Republic is 30 μg·L -1 At present, my country has not yet formulated a limit standard for EC in wine. In recent years, as food safety has become increasingly important, EC, as a potential carcinogen, has gradually attracted social attention and has become a key safety control indicator. Existing studies have basically clarified the pathways and main influencing factors of EC in wine, but lack quantitative indicators of each influencing factor. At the same time, the generation of EC is closely related to the management of the entire production process, including grape planting, raw material quality, fermentation and aging. Compared with dry red wine, it is more difficult to control the EC content in dry white wine.
[0003] The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN107189903A discloses a brewing scheme for ethyl carbamate fruit wine, wherein yeasts with strong urea metabolism levels can be screened out by culturing yeasts in a medium with high urea content, and yeast strains with strong urea tolerance and high metabolic capacity can be screened out by gradually increasing the urea content level, thereby reducing the urea content in fermentation and thus reducing the output of ethyl carbamate in fermentation; the ethyl carbamate component is obtained by adding acid urease to the fermentation substrate and the mixed fermentation filtrate before the first fermentation, thereby inhibiting and eliminating the production of urea in the fermentation, and the acid urease can decompose the urea component in the fermentation liquid, thereby achieving the goal of reducing the ethyl carbamate content in wine fermentation, but the above scheme does not disclose a method for effectively controlling the EC content in dry white wine to ensure the quality and safety of the wine.

[0074] Table 1: Effect of urease treatment on the growth of urea and ethyl carbamate (EC) in dry white wine
[0075] Note: “ND” means not detected.
[0076] It can be seen from the experimental results of Examples 1 to 6 in Table 1 that the generation or growth of ethyl carbamate (EC) in dry white wine treated with urease #1 and urease #2 can be effectively inhibited, and the content of ethyl carbamate (EC) is controlled within the range of 0 to 10 μg·L -1 range, and can significantly reduce the urea content, and 1# urease has the best effect; when the urea content in dry white wine is lower than 5 mg / L, the generation or growth of ethyl carbamate (EC) falls within the range of 0-10 μg·L -1 It can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and 2 that when the urea content is higher than 5 mg / L, the growth of ethyl carbamate (EC) in dry white wine without urease treatment has an accelerated trend under the premise of high urea content, high storage temperature and long storage time. Under the condition of high urea concentration (adding 100 mg / L urea), the ethyl carbamate (EC) content in Comparative Example 2 increased to 105.8 μg·L after one month. -1 In Example 6, after high-concentration urea was treated with urease #1 for one month, the urea concentration dropped to 1.2 mg·L -1 , ethyl carbamate (EC) was not detected. After one month of treatment with 2# urease, urea was reduced to 10.3 mg / L, and the content of ethyl carbamate (EC) was 8.5 μg·L -1 , which is only 105.8 μg·L in Comparative Example 2 -1 As can be seen from Table 1, when the urea content in the wine is lower than 5 mg / L, or the degradation of high-content urea by urease treatment has a significant effect on controlling the growth of ethyl carbamate (EC). This method reduces the use of nitrogen fertilizers such as urea during the planting process, controls the amino nitrogen content in the fruit, and controls the temperature at each stage after fermentation, aging, and bottling during the entire process of dry white winemaking. It clarifies the limit of urea content in the original wine and provides urease treatment to inhibit the growth of ethyl carbamate and effectively control its content in dry white wine.
[0077] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

A method for controlling the ethyl carbamate content in dry white wine, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: Grape cultivation: Apply organic fertilizers in the vineyard and reduce the use of urea; S2: Determination of the harvest period: After the grapes change color, samples are taken every 3 to 5 days to measure the changes in sugar and acid indicators of the grapes, and sensory tasting is performed to determine the grape harvest period. The sugar content of the grapes is 190 to 210 g / L in terms of glucose, the total acid is 5.5 to 7.0 g / L in terms of tartaric acid, and the amino nitrogen content of the grapes is 150 to 300 mg / L. S3: Harvesting: Grapes are harvested manually in the morning or evening when the temperature is low. Grapes must be fresh, with loose clusters and good coloring. Diseased, rotten, moldy, and green grapes must not be picked. After the grapes are harvested, dry ice is sprinkled in the transport basket for cooling and protection, and the grapes are transported to the processing station within 2 hours. S4: grape bunch selection: putting the grapes picked in step S3 on a conveyor belt for manual grape bunch selection, removing grape bunches, fruit stems and leaves with uneven coloring, diseased and rotten fruits, moldy fruits and green fruits; S5: Destemming: Softly remove the stems of the grapes, keeping more than 90% of the grapes intact; S6: Grain sorting: The berries are sorted manually or optically to remove diseased and rotten berries, green berries, stalks and leaves; S7: Crushing: Slightly crushing the fruit particles sorted in step S6, adding sulfur dioxide and pectinase during the crushing process, and adding dry ice for cooling and protection; S8: Cooling and juice extraction: The crushed grapes are quickly cooled by a heat exchanger, and then put into an air bag press to extract juice, and protective gas is introduced during the juice extraction process; S9: Low temperature clarification: put the grape juice into the tank for clarification. The tank is pre-cooled and the protective gas is passed into the tank to exhaust the air. The grape juice is put into the tank. After the tank is full, add bentonite for clarification and let it stand until it is clear. S10: Juice separation and temperature recovery: the upper clarified grape juice is poured back and separated, and the clarified grape juice is heated to 12-14°C; S11: Low-temperature alcohol fermentation: The clarified grape juice is inoculated with brewer's yeast for dry white fermentation for fermentation. No yeast nutritional additives are added during the fermentation process. The fermentation temperature is 14-16°C and the fermentation time is 10-20 days. S12: Tank decanting: monitor the specific gravity and temperature of the grape juice during alcoholic fermentation. When the residual sugar content is lower than 4g / L, lower the temperature of the wine to 10-12°C, decant to remove the coarse lees, and add sulfur dioxide. There is no need to carry out malic acid-lactic acid fermentation. S13: Low temperature storage: The wine is stored at a temperature of 10-15°C, free sulfur dioxide is controlled at 30-40 mg / L, and protective gas is filled into the tank; S14: Detection: Detect the urea content in the wine to ensure that the urea content is below 5 mg / L; S15: Clarification: The wine temperature is controlled at 10-15℃; S16: Freezing: putting the wine from step S15 into a freezing tank and cooling it to -5 to -4°C, adding 0.1 to 0.2 g / L of seed crystals and keeping it warm for 4 to 8 days, and circulating protective gas from the bottom of the tank for 5 minutes every day; S17: Filtration: Filter the wine using a filtration device under heat preservation conditions; S18: Sterilization: sterilize the wine through a membrane filtration device; S19: Inspect the wine for physical and chemical indicators, microbiological indicators, and sensory evaluation. Fill the wine after passing the inspection and evaluation. Control the temperature within 20℃ after bottling.
2. The method for controlling the ethyl formate content in dry white wine according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S7, the fruit particle crushing rate is 60-70%, the amount of sulfur dioxide added is 60-80 mg / L, and the amount of pectinase added is 20-30 mg / L.
3. The method for controlling the ethyl formate content in dry white wine according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step S8, the temperature of the crushed grapes after being cooled by the heat exchanger is 3-5° C., and the juice yield is controlled at 40-60%.
4. The method for controlling the ethyl formate content in dry white wine according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S9, the grape juice is put into the tank and cooled down to keep the temperature of the grape juice at 3-5° C. The amount of bentonite added is 0.1-0.5 g / L.
5. The method for controlling the ethyl carbamate content in dry white wine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The number of yeast in step S11 is not less than 10 6 cfu / mL, alcohol content: 11-12% v / v.
