Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fruit processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a fig and grape blended fruit wine. Background Art

[0002] Ficus carica is a perennial woody flowering plant belonging to the genus Ficus of the family Moraceae in the order Rosales. The fruit has a sweet taste and high nutritional and medicinal values. The contents of dietary fiber, calcium, selenium and other elements are significantly higher than those of other fruits, and it has good effects on cancer prevention and treatment, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, anti-aging, enhancement of digestive function, promotion of defecation, etc.

[0003] Developing fig wine can not only provide new fruit wine varieties for the wine market to meet the needs of consumers, but also bring good economic and social benefits.

[0004] Except for wine, the market of other fruit wines is not yet mature. In order to increase the variety of fruit wines and improve the nutritional and sensory grades of fruit wines, blended fruit wines are expected to become a new direction. At present, multi-variety blended fruit wines are mainly divided into: The first category is made by mixing, stirring and soaking fruits with wine or other fruit wines. In order to save production costs, this kind of wine confuses the public, and the finished wine is prone to precipitation, instability and poor quality; The second category is to brew different varieties of fruits separately and then mix and blend them. This kind of wine often lacks the original brewing aroma, and the blending ratio is difficult to master; The third category is to ferment and brew after mixing various fruits together, but the yield is extremely low, and the combination of fruit types is random, without considering the brewing suitability of fruits, and the color, aroma, taste, body and other characteristics of the blended fruit wine are not prominent.

[0005] Cabernet Gernischt, a variety for brewing red wine. It is native to France, of the Vitis vinifera species. China introduced it from Western Europe to Yantai, Shandong in 1892. At present, Cabernet Gernischt in Yantai, Shandong accounts for 70% of the national planting area and is a characteristic wine grape variety in Yantai. In the grape cluster, it is conical, the berries are medium-sized and medium-sized, round, purple-black. The juice is abundant, with a sour and sweet taste, and has a "Cabernet" fragrance. The wine brewed from it is ruby red, the body is plump, soft and refreshing, and the wine quality is slightly rough. This variety has strong adaptability and enters the fruiting period relatively late. The yield is relatively high and it is a fine variety for brewing high-grade red wine.

[0006] The pectin content in fig fruits is as high as about 5%. With a high pectin content, the juice extraction rate of the fruit juice is low, and it is difficult to clarify the fruit wine. The aroma of figs is weak, and after fermentation, the color and aroma are not attractive enough. Continuing to ferment the fruit wine by blending with Cabernet Gernischt wine grapes to improve the aroma and color while retaining the active ingredients of figs is the first choice.

[0007] There is currently no fruit wine made by blending fig with Cabernet Gernischt wine grapes. This blend can mutually compensate for each other's deficiencies and bring out their respective advantages, resulting in a finished wine with magnificent color, rich taste, mellow and harmonious flavor, full body, and at the same time retaining the nutritional components of fig. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a brewing method for fig and Cabernet Gernischt wine grape blended fruit wine. This method develops a new type of fruit wine, which not only provides a new variety of fruit wine for the liquor market to meet the needs of consumers, but also solves the problems that the single fig wine has a lighter body, weaker aroma, less attractive color, and poor flavor components, and the finished Cabernet Gernischt wine has a strong irritation, unpleasant sour taste, and heavy astringency in taste. The blend can mutually compensate for each other's deficiencies and bring out their respective advantages, resulting in a fruit wine with magnificent color, rich taste, mellow and harmonious flavor, full body, excellent quality, and at the same time retaining the nutritional components of fig.

[0009] The method for fermenting and clarifying fig and grape blended fruit wine provided by the present invention includes the following steps: S1: Pulp preparation: Weigh fig and grape according to the ratio of 1:1 - 1:2. The fig is washed, broken and pulped by a double - stage pulper, and then transferred to a fermentation tank. The Cabernet Gernischt wine grape is broken by a destemmer - crusher and then transferred to the fermentation tank, and circulated evenly by a screw pump. S2: Maceration and enzymatic hydrolysis: Add 100 - 200 ppm of potassium metabisulfite and 100 - 800 ppm of pectin lyase to the fermentation tank, and carry out maceration and enzymatic hydrolysis for 3 - 5 days. S3: Composition and aroma adjustment: Adjust the sugar content to 24 Brix with white granulated sugar, and add 5 - 20 kg / T of oak chips to improve the aroma. S4: Primary fermentation: Inoculate 200 - 400 ppm of imported wine yeast, ferment at 18 - 25 °C for 7 - 10 days until the specific gravity no longer changes. After fermentation, separate the pomace from the wine by a belt press. S5: Secondary fermentation: Add lactic acid bacteria to the wine tank for malolactic fermentation to convert malic acid in the wine into lactic acid. S6: Aging: After the secondary fermentation is completed, add 50 - 200 ppm of potassium metabisulfite, transfer to a storage tank and let it stand for aging for 3 - 6 months. S7: Comprehensive clarification: After aging, add one or several clarifying agents such as chitosan, bentonite, wine tannin, and plant protein to the raw wine for comprehensive clarification, and filter to obtain a clarified fig and grape blended fruit wine.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1)Whole fig process: Select crushed Cabernet Gernischt grapes and whole figs for fermentation, fully retaining the nutritional components of the figs, and finally obtaining a blended fruit wine rich in the nutritional components of the figs.

[0011] (2)Low-temperature cold maceration plus enzymatic hydrolysis process: During low-temperature cold maceration, it can promote the dissolution and exudation of amino acids, minerals, polyphenols, organic acids and aroma components, greatly increasing the content of glycerol and reducing the acid content, thereby reducing the irritating and unpleasant sour taste of the finished wine, and significantly increasing the content of a series of volatile aromatic substances, making the blended fruit wine brewed have a mellow taste, full of special aroma and fruit flavor, and fresh and refreshing. Add pectin lyase to enzymatically hydrolyze the fig pulp to improve the juice yield. At the same time, compared with ordinary pectinase, the enzymatic hydrolysis of pectin lyase can reduce the methanol content in the fruit wine and ensure the safety of drinking.

[0012] (3)Fermentation process: Adopt the main fermentation and malolactic fermentation secondary fermentation process. A series of biochemical reactions occur during the fermentation process to generate a unique ester aroma. Retain the effective nutritional components and trace elements in the figs and Cabernet Gernischt fruits, improve the nutritional value of the blended fruit wine, and retain the fruit flavor to the greatest extent.

[0013] (4)Comprehensive clarification process: By adding clarifying agents such as chitosan, bentonite, plant protein, and wine tannin, reduce the content of small molecular substances that are easily adsorbed and polymerized, and extend the shelf life of the fruit wine.
