Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fermentation and winemaking, and in particular to a method for controlling the precipitation of yellow rice wine and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Huangjiu, as a treasure of Chinese wine culture, has a history that can be traced back thousands of years. It is one of the three oldest brewed wines in the world, along with world-renowned wine and beer. However, during the transportation, storage and sales of bottled Huangjiu on the market, secondary turbidity frequently occurs, which greatly affects consumer acceptance and has an impact on market sales.

[0003] The turbidity of rice wine can be divided into two categories according to its causes: biological and non-biological. Biological turbidity mainly comes from the active microorganisms during the brewing process, which causes the wine to be contaminated, and the wine becomes turbid and difficult to remove by filtration. Non-biological turbidity is caused by the interaction between substances such as proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols and metal ions that are rich in rice wine. Protein, as a key component of rice wine, forms a colloidal network through charge stabilization, which brings a unique taste and rich nutritional value to rice wine. The protein molecules in rice wine are usually positively charged, while other substances such as polyphenols in the wine are negatively charged. When these two oppositely charged substances meet, an electrical neutralization reaction occurs to form electrically neutral macromolecules, which causes the wine to become turbid and lose gloss, and eventually settle to the bottom. This charge interaction is one of the key mechanisms for the charge stability of rice wine. At the same time, when disturbed by external conditions (such as temperature, pH value, shear force, etc.), its equilibrium state may also be broken, resulting in colloidal coagulation. In addition, proteins, polysaccharides and some small molecular compounds aggregate in the rice wine system through hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic effects, further destroying the stability of the system. Non-biological precipitation has become a common problem in the industry that affects the quality of rice wine.

[0004] Although there are many technical means to control the stability of rice wine, they have not yet completely overcome the problem of non-biological turbidity of rice wine, resulting in the easy formation of precipitation during long-term storage. Some technologies may not only bring the risk of secondary contamination to rice wine, but also significantly reduce the total protein and polyphenol content in rice wine, which may weaken the color and flavor of rice wine and have an adverse effect on its physical and chemical properties and aroma components. At the same time, some technical means are often accompanied by high equipment energy consumption and high application and maintenance costs during implementation, which brings considerable economic pressure to rice wine production companies. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore a new method that is more efficient, economical and can fundamentally solve the problem of rice wine stability. Summary of the invention

[0093] Test example:

[0094] 1. Data related to rice wine stability

[0095] (1) Yellow wine turbidity

[0096] The changes in the turbidity of rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 1. The turbidity of the comparative example increased significantly during the storage at 20°C for 12 months, the light transmittance of the wine body decreased, and obvious turbidity was produced at the bottom. Compared with the comparative example, although Examples 1, 5, and 6 significantly reduced the turbidity of rice wine, the turbidity of rice wine increased slightly with the storage time, and the turbidity rose to about 0.04 after 12 months of room temperature storage. Example 3 showed the lowest turbidity, and the turbidity did not change significantly after being stored at 20°C for 12 months, and remained below 0.035, which had a significant effect on improving the turbidity of rice wine.

[0097] (2) Centrifugal sedimentation rate of rice wine

[0098] The changes in the centrifugal sedimentation rate of rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 1. The centrifugal sedimentation rate of the comparative example increased significantly with the storage time, and increased to about 4% at 12 months. The centrifugal sedimentation rates of Examples 1-6 were all lower than those of the comparative example. Similar to the changes in the turbidity of rice wine, the centrifugal sedimentation rate of the rice wine in Example 3 was the lowest, and did not change much after being stored at 20°C for 12 months, always below 1.5%; and although Examples 1-2 and 4-6 could also significantly reduce the centrifugal sedimentation rate of rice wine, the effect was not as good as that of Example 3, and it would slowly increase over time.

[0099] (3) Components that are easy to precipitate in rice wine

[0100] The changes in the content of the easily precipitated components of the rice wine before and after the treatment are shown in Table 1. The protein content of the rice wine after treatment (among the 6 groups of examples) did not change much, but there was a significant difference between the examples and the comparative examples. Compared with the comparative example, the protein content of Examples 1-6 decreased. The combined treatment can remove most of the easily precipitated proteins in the rice wine, and the protein content was reduced by about 16.26-22.91%; although the polysaccharide content of Examples 1-6 decreased, it did not change much compared with the comparative example, and the content of polyphenols and iron ions changed little, and the comparative example was not much different from the examples.

[0103] 2. Colloidal properties of rice wine

[0104] The changes in the colloidal properties of rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 2. Compared with the comparative example, the average particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the rice wine colloids in Examples 1-6 are reduced, indicating that the colloidal particles become smaller and the dispersion becomes more uniform; with the increase in the number of repeated freezing and filtration cycles, the average particle size and PDI of the rice wine colloid gradually decrease. For the zeta potential, the potential of the comparative example is positive, indicating that the protein surface in the rice wine carries a small amount of positive charge, and the value is close to 0 (isoelectric point) and the stability is poor, that is, the protein in the rice wine system will aggregate and precipitate over time; the zeta potential of Examples 1-6 is all >25mV, that is, the positive charge of the protein in these 6 groups of rice wine systems increases, the electrostatic repulsion is enhanced, and the protein particles are not easy to aggregate under the action of electrostatic force, among which the potential value of Example 3 is the largest.

Compared with the comparative example, the pH values ​​of Examples 1-6 have increased, while the alcohol content, amino acid nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar, total acid and non-sugar solids have changed to varying degrees. The alcohol content decreased by 0.2-0.5% vol after treatment, and there was not much difference between the examples and the comparative example; for the change in amino acid nitrogen, although each example was reduced compared with the comparative example, it was all around 0.80 g / L. The changes in the content of total sugar, reducing sugar and total acid are similar, and the content of total sugar, reducing sugar and total acid in each example does not change much; and the non-sugar solid content of Examples 1-6 has no obvious change compared with the comparative example, and only shows a slight decrease. Overall, all the physical and chemical indicators of the rice wine of Examples 1-6 meet the requirements of the national standard for various indicators of rice wine.

[0112] (2) Volatile components of rice wine

[0113] The changes in the volatile components of rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 4. The volatile components of rice wine in Examples 4-6 were reduced, and there were differences compared with the control group, but Examples 1-3 had little effect on the volatile components of rice wine. The contents of substances such as floral and fruity aroma (such as ethyl acetate, ethyl caproate, and phenylacetaldehyde) and almond aroma / malt koji aroma (such as benzaldehyde and furfural) were slightly reduced, and some substances fluctuated slightly; there was no significant difference in the volatile components between Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, indicating that these three groups of technical treatments had no significant effect on the volatile components of rice wine.

[0117] (3) Organic acids and free amino acids in rice wine

[0118] The changes in organic acid and free amino acids in rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 5. It can be seen that compared with the comparative example and other examples, the organic acid content of Examples 4-6 has decreased, and there is no obvious change in other examples; overall, the organic acid content of Examples 1-3 has the smallest change compared with Comparative Example 1. The amino acid content of the wine samples after treatment has slightly decreased overall; among them, Examples 1-3 have little change. This shows that the technical treatment has no obvious effect on the organic acid and free amino acids in rice wine.

[0122] (4) Free radical scavenging rate and total antioxidant activity of rice wine

[0123] The changes in the free radical scavenging rate and total antioxidant activity of the rice wine before and after treatment are shown in Table 6. Compared with the comparative example, the free radical scavenging rate and total antioxidant activity of the rice wine of Examples 4-6 were slightly reduced, while there was no significant change in the other examples. The free radical scavenging rate and total antioxidant activity of Examples 1-3 were the smallest difference from the comparative example, which was better than the other groups. In general, there was no significant change in the free radical scavenging rate and total antioxidant activity, indicating that the group technical treatment had no significant effect on the antioxidant activity of the rice wine.

[0126] (5) Rice wine sensory

[0127] The sensory scoring radar chart of rice wine before and after treatment is as follows Figure 1 As shown. The sourness and bitterness of the rice wine are reduced, making it taste more refreshing; at the same time, the scores of characteristic aromas such as floral and fruity aroma, almond aroma and malt aroma are also slightly reduced. The various flavors and aroma substances of the rice wine in Examples 1-6 are slightly reduced, and the characteristic sensory properties of the rice wine are slightly changed. The overall score is within a reasonable range, especially Example 6, which still maintains a relatively obvious sensory attribute of the rice wine.
