[0030] The formulation method is to cool the mixed liquid after filtering out the hops to 4°C, fill it with carbon dioxide gas to 0.15 MPa, keep it warm for 3 - 4 days, and then filter.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] The production method of the soy peptide beer in this solution will be more scientific, reasonable and efficient, capable of extracting soy peptides more efficiently, increasing their content and biological activity, enabling the soy peptide beer to take into account both the nutrition of soy peptides and the traditional flavor of beer, and meeting the dual needs of consumers for health and nutrition.

[0033] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings:

[0035] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, a production method of soy peptide beer includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. Select soybeans and soak them

[0039] Select soybeans and soak them in water until the soybeans swell to twice their original size. Among them, the soybeans can be high-quality non-genetically modified soybeans with plump grains, uniform color, no mildew, and no insect damage. Then, wash the soybeans to remove surface dust, impurities and residual pesticides. Food-grade cleaning agents can be used for soaking and cleaning, and then rinse them with clean water.

[0040] The water used for soaking soybeans, grinding soy milk and other processes needs to be softened and purified to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the water to prevent affecting the taste and coagulation effect of soy milk; at the same time, remove impurities, odors and harmful substances in the water through methods such as filtration and activated carbon adsorption to ensure that the water quality meets the food production water standard.

[0041] When soaking soybeans, the ratio of soybeans to water is 1:8. Soak them at room temperature for 6 - 8 hours in summer and for more than 12 hours in winter. When soaking in summer, a small amount of food-grade citric acid or vitamin C can be appropriately added to prevent the soybeans from oxidizing and deteriorating at high temperatures, and at the same time, it helps to maintain the nutritional components of the soybeans. Since the soaking time in winter is longer, stirring can be appropriately carried out during the soaking process to promote the uniform penetration of water and shorten the soaking time.

[0042] S2. Pulping

[0043] Grind the swollen soybeans into raw soy milk in batches by adding water using a traditional stone mill or a wall breaker. When pulping, the ratio of soybeans to water can be fine-tuned according to actual needs. For example, if a thicker soy milk is needed, the amount of water can be appropriately reduced; if a thinner soy milk is needed, the amount of water can be increased.

[0044] S3. Filtering Residue

[0045] Filter the residue in the raw soy milk. For example, the raw soy milk can be filtered twice with a fine gauze, or multiple layers of fine gauze can be used for filtering, and a layer of non-woven fabric can be added between the gauzes to improve the filtering effect.

[0046] The filtered soybean dregs contain rich nutritional components such as dietary fiber and protein, and can be recycled. They can be used to produce products such as soybean dreg biscuits and soybean dreg feed, improving the utilization rate of raw materials and reducing production costs.

[0047] S4. Boiling Soy Milk

[0048] After the raw soy milk boils, turn to low heat and keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Keep boiling for a period of time to inactivate enzymes after boiling. The soy milk boiling pot can be equipped with a stirring device and a temperature sensor. The stirring device can prevent the soy milk from sticking to the bottom, and the temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the soy milk in real time to ensure the boiling effect.

[0049] After the raw soy milk boils, turn to low heat and keep stirring. Keep boiling for 5 minutes to inactivate enzymes after boiling. And during the boiling process of the soy milk, an appropriate amount of food-grade defoamer can be added to prevent a large amount of foam from overflowing during the boiling process of the soy milk. The addition amount of the defoamer should be strictly controlled within the scope of the food additive use standard.

[0050] S5. Coagulating Soy Milk

[0051] When the soy milk cools down to 75 - 85 °C, slowly add the diluted coagulant. After the coagulant dissolves in water, pour it into the soy milk and let it stand for a period of time until the soy milk coagulates into bean curd.

[0052] The coagulant can be selected from food-grade calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, glucono delta-lactone, etc. Calcium sulfate and calcium chloride have good coagulation effects, but may make the soy milk taste slightly hard; glucono delta-lactone has a mild coagulation effect and a delicate taste, but the coagulation time is relatively long.

[0053] The coagulant needs to be fully dissolved before use. For example, the coagulant can be added to an appropriate amount of warm water, stirred evenly to make it completely dissolved. The dissolved coagulant solution should be filtered to remove impurities and then poured into the soy milk.

[0054] Cool the soy milk to about 80 °C and slowly add the diluted coagulant. The speed of adding the coagulant should be uniform and slow to avoid too fast local coagulation. For example, a dropper or a spray device can be used to evenly spray the coagulant into the soy milk to make the soy milk and the coagulant fully contact.

[0055] S6. Pressing and shaping

[0056] Pour the coagulated bean curd into a mold lined with gauze, apply pressure to drain the whey, and adjust the pressure and pressing time according to the texture and hardness requirements of the bean curd. Select a food-grade stainless steel or plastic mold for pressing and shaping. The inner wall of the mold should be smooth and flat for easy demolding. The mold needs to be cleaned and disinfected before use to ensure hygiene. High-temperature steam disinfection or soaking disinfection with food-grade disinfectant can be used. The disinfected mold should be dried and reserved for use.

[0057] S7. Whey treatment

[0058] After collecting the whey, first hydrolyze it with protease at a temperature of 45 - 55 °C for 2 - 4 hours, then raise the temperature to 80 - 90 °C and maintain for a period of time, and then centrifuge or filter to remove the unhydrolyzed macromolecular proteins, and then add lactic acid bacteria to ferment at room temperature until the pH value is 4.2 - 4.8.

[0059] The protease used can be a food-grade protease, such as trypsin, papain or compound protease, etc. The hydrolysis characteristics and suitable conditions of different proteases are different, and can be selected according to actual needs. Trypsin has a good hydrolysis effect but a high cost; papain has a low cost but a relatively long hydrolysis time; compound protease combines the advantages of multiple proteases and has a good hydrolysis effect and efficiency.

[0060] The lactic acid bacteria used can be common strains such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, etc., or a compound lactic acid bacteria preparation can also be used to improve the fermentation effect and flavor.

[0061] S8. Filtration of soy peptide liquid

[0062] Filter the fermented soy peptide liquid with a diatomaceous earth filter. The diatomaceous earth filter has the advantages of high filtration accuracy, good filtration effect and easy operation, and can effectively remove impurities and suspended matters in the fermentation broth.

[0063] S9. Mixed brewing

[0064] Filtered soy peptide solution and craft beer powder or wort are mixed in a certain proportion and then heated to 100 °C. Then, hops are added and boiled for a period of time, and the hops are filtered out. After that, it is produced by the fermentation method or the configuration method.

[0065] Specifically, when mixing the filtered soy peptide solution and craft beer powder or wort in a certain proportion, the mixing ratio can be adjusted according to the concentration of the soy peptide solution, its nutritional components, and the flavor requirements of the beer. For example, if it is necessary to increase the nutritional components and the thickness of the taste of the beer, the proportion of the soy peptide solution can be appropriately increased; if it is necessary to highlight the malt flavor of the beer, the proportion of the wort can be appropriately increased.

[0066] During the mixing process, it should be fully stirred evenly to make the soy peptide solution fully blend with the wort or craft beer powder. A mixer or a pipeline mixer can be used for the mixing operation to ensure the uniformity of the mixed solution.

[0067] The fermentation method used is as follows: After filtering out the hops, the mixed solution is cooled to 8 - 10 °C and yeast is added for fermentation. The fermentation method is carried out according to the conventional beer fermentation method. During the fermentation process, the sugar content, alcohol content, and pH value of the fermentation broth should be regularly monitored, and the fermentation conditions should be adjusted in a timely manner.

[0068] The configuration method used is as follows: After filtering out the hops, the mixed solution is cooled to 4 °C, and carbon dioxide is filled to 0.15 MPa and kept warm for 3 - 4 days, and then filtered. During the process of filling carbon dioxide, the filling speed and pressure should be controlled to prevent the escape of carbon dioxide or insufficient dissolution. During the heat preservation process, the temperature should be ensured to be stable to prevent the temperature fluctuation from affecting the product quality. When filtering, a multi-stage filtering device can be used to ensure that the product is clear and transparent without residue of impurities.

[0069] S10, Quality Inspection and Packaging

[0070] The produced soy peptide beer is subjected to finished product inspection, and then the soy peptide beer with qualified quality inspection is packaged into finished products. The inspection items can include, for example, sensory indicators (color, aroma, taste), physical and chemical indicators (alcohol content, sugar content, protein content, amino acid content, carbon dioxide content), and hygiene indicators (total number of colonies, coliform group, pathogenic bacteria, etc.). The products with qualified quality inspection are then packaged into finished products for sale.

[0071] In summary, compared with the conventional method, the production method of the soy peptide beer in this solution will be more scientific, reasonable, and efficient, and can extract soy peptides more efficiently, improve their content and biological activity, making the soy peptide beer take into account both the nutrition of soy peptides and the traditional flavor of beer, and meeting the dual needs of consumers for health and nutrition.

[0072] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present invention, and all of them are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
