As can be seen from Table 8, compared with Comparative Example 14, there is no significant change in the soluble solids of Comparative Examples 15 to 17, but after fermentation, the soluble solids in Example 3 increased significantly. It may be that during the fermentation process, plant lactobacillus and sweet wine koji further decompose the macromolecular substances in highland barley into soluble small molecular substances.

[0210] As shown in Table 8, compared with Comparative Example 14, the amino acid and GABA contents of Example 3 and Comparative Examples 15-17 all significantly increase, with the amino acid content ranging from 7.68 to 12.29 μmol / mL, and the GABA content ranging from 34.46 to 83.28 mg / L, and the trend of both increases is consistent. The amino acid and GABA contents of Comparative Example 17, which is germinated and added with highland barley powder during enzymolysis, are the highest, and the contents of amino acid and GABA of Comparative Example 15 are increased by 47% and 80% respectively, because germination activates glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and converts glutamate into GABA. Adding highland barley powder (Comparative Example 16) increases the contents of amino acid and GABA by 34% and 60% respectively, because the GAD enzyme activity of highland barley powder is higher and glutamate can be synthesized into GABA. Compared with the sample of Comparative Example 17, the content of amino acids and GABA in Example 3 after fermentation treatment decreased significantly, but was still significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 15 and 16. The reason may be that microorganisms consume part of the amino acids and GABA during the growth process.

[0211] As shown in Table 8, compared with Comparative Example 14, the total phenol content of Example 3 and Comparative Examples 15-17 is improved. The total phenol content of Example 3 is increased from 0.59mmoL / L in Comparative Example 14 to 0.94mmoL / L, an increase of 60%. The total phenol content of Comparative Example 16 is higher than that of Comparative Example 15, indicating that the added highland barley powder releases more phenolic substances during the enzymatic hydrolysis process. The total phenol content of Comparative Example 15 is also slightly increased, and the reason may be that during the germination period, essential enzymes in the biosynthesis of phenols, such as phenylalanine ammonia lyase, can be activated. Compared with Comparative Example 14, the flavonoid content of Comparative Examples 15-17 and Example 3 increased by 37%, 62%, 76%, and 40%, respectively. The flavonoid content in the fermented sample of Example 3 is significantly reduced compared with the unfermented sample of Comparative Example 17, and the reason may be that the fermentation of Lactobacillus plantarum metabolizes complex flavonoids into simple compounds.

[0213]

[0214] As can be seen from Table 8, the technical solution of the present invention can significantly increase the content of total solids, amino acids, GABA, total phenols and flavonoids through germination, enzymolysis, incubation and fermentation processes, and improve the nutritional value of highland barley fermented beverages.

[0215] The results of the total antioxidant capacity, DPPH free radical, superoxide anion free radical, and hydroxyl free radical scavenging capacity of the fermented highland barley beverage obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 14 to 17 are shown in Table 9. It can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 14, Comparative Example 15 significantly improved the superoxide anion and hydroxyl free radical scavenging capacity. In addition to the significant decrease in the DPPH free radical scavenging capacity of the sample in Comparative Example 16, the other three antioxidant activities were significantly enhanced, and the superoxide anion scavenging capacity was increased by 126%. The sample in Comparative Example 17 significantly improved the DPPH free radical, superoxide anion, and hydroxyl free radical scavenging capacity. The four antioxidant capacities of Example 3 were significantly improved, and the total antioxidant capacity was increased by 96%. Except for the superoxide anion scavenging capacity of Example 3, which ranked second, which was lower than Comparative Example 16, the other three antioxidant activity capacities ranked first. It is illustrated that the technical solution of the present invention integrates germination, enzymolysis, incubation and fermentation processes, which can significantly increase the total antioxidant capacity of highland barley fermented beverages, and significantly increase the DPPH, superoxide anion radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity, thereby improving the antioxidant activity of highland barley fermented beverages.

[0217]

[0218] The taste analysis of the fermented highland barley beverages obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 14 to 17 is shown in Fig.11 . Flavor analysis see Fig.12 .Depend on Fig.11 and 12 It can be seen that the taste and olfactory profiles of comparative examples 14 to 17 overlap, and the taste characteristics and olfactory sense are basically the same. The umami, salty taste and richness are higher than those of Example 3, and there is a clear lack of sourness. The sourness of Example 3 increased through fermentation, the bitterness decreased, and the olfactory profile increased significantly. Among them, the response values ​​of the olfactory sensors W1S (sensitive to methane), W2S (sensitive to ethanol), and W5S (very sensitive to nitrogen oxides), and the sensors W1W (sensitive to sulfides) and W2W (sensitive to organic sulfides and aromatic compounds) increased significantly. It shows that fermentation can not only improve the taste of highland barley enzymatic beverages, but also produce more volatile substances, thereby improving the flavor of highland barley enzymatic beverages.

[0219] The results of volatile flavor substances of the fermented highland barley beverages obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 14 to 17 are shown in Fig.13 .Depend on Fig.13It can be seen that Example 3 is also significantly different from Comparative Examples 14 to 17 in terms of volatile flavor substances. Comparative Examples 14 to 17 and Example 3 contain 37, 32, 42, 47 and 43 volatile compounds, respectively, of which n-pentanol, 1-octen-3-ol, n-heptanol, 2-ethylhexanol, n-valeraldehyde, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, n-hexanal, trans-2-heptanal, n-nonanal, benzaldehyde, 2-phenylacetaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, hexyl formate, spironolactone, benzyl acetate, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, and methoxyphenyl oxime are common, and it is speculated that these components are mainly derived from highland barley raw materials. Compared with Comparative Example 14, Comparative Example 15 added one lauryl alcohol through germination, Comparative Example 16 added one isobutyl acetate through the addition of active highland barley powder, and Comparative Example 17 added four compounds through germination and the addition of active highland barley powder, namely 4-ethylcyclohexanol, 2-butylcyclohexanone, octyl formate, and 2-ethylhexanoic anhydride.

[0220] In Example 3, 17 new substances were added, involving alcohols, esters, phenols, aldehydes, and acids. Among them, the most new substances were acids, including acetic acid, octanoic acid, n-hexanoic acid, and guanidinopropionic acid. The aldehyde substance was furfural. The ester substances were linalyl butyrate and hexyl formate, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, and n-butyl isooctyl phthalate. The alcohols were styraxol, tetrahydrolavandulol, benzyl alcohol, n-heptanol, and 3-methyl-3-butene-1-ol. The phenolic substances were 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran.

[0221] The contents of the above 17 substances in Example 3 are higher than those in Comparative Examples 14 to 17, wherein n-heptanol and benzyl alcohol both have aromatic flavors. The technical solution of the present invention prepares highland barley fermented beverages through germination, enzymolysis, incubation and fermentation processes, which can increase the types of flavor substances in highland barley fermented beverages, increase the content of flavor substances, and improve the flavor of the product.

[0222] In summary, considering the nutrient content, antioxidant activity, taste, flavor and volatile flavor substance content, the present invention provides an integrated germination, enzymatic hydrolysis, incubation and fermentation process, which can improve the GABA, polyphenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity in highland barley fermented beverages, while improving the taste and flavor of the product.

[0223] Although the above embodiment describes the present invention in detail, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
