Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beer brewing technology, and in particular to a beer rich in white fleeceflower root and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Beer is a low-alcohol beverage made primarily from malt, hops, and water, fermented with yeast to produce saturated carbon dioxide. It is rich in nutrients, refreshing, and has a unique flavor, often referred to as "liquid bread." As one of the world's three oldest alcoholic beverages, beer has become an indispensable part of human culture and social development. Its brewing techniques have undergone thousands of years of inheritance and innovation, resulting in significant advancements.

[0003] Specialty beers are beers brewed with unique styles by altering raw materials and brewing processes. Currently, they are primarily based on traditional brewing methods, making full use of new food resources rich in bioactive or flavor substances such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, dietary fiber, volatile oils, and polyphenols. By modifying processes such as gelatinization, saccharification, or fermentation, specialty beers are brewed with flavors and nutritional characteristics distinct from traditional beers. Beer contains at least 17 common amino acids, especially all types of essential amino acids. However, the types and amounts of amino acids in beer vary considerably depending on the brewing ingredients and yeast.

[0004] White Polygonum multiflorum, also known as Ear-leaved Ox-skin Herb, Geshan Herb, and Milk Vine, is the tuberous root of *Polygonum multiflorum*, a dicotyledonous plant belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family. It grows in mountain thickets, under forest slopes, along roadsides, and in meadows at forest edges, and is also found in fields and abandoned land. White Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicinal and edible plant, and a locally produced, authentic Chinese medicinal material. It is rich in starch, polysaccharides, amino acids, trace elements, and other nutrients, as well as various bioactive components such as C21 steroidal glycosides, flavonoids, and acetophenone. It possesses anti-tumor, antioxidant, liver and kidney protective, lipid-lowering, and immune-regulating effects.

[0005] Currently, the main products of Polygonum multiflorum are primary processed Polygonum multiflorum slices and refined powder. These products suffer from poor ready-to-eat properties, a strong herbal taste, and poor palatability. In particular, the processing of refined powder results in a significant loss of active ingredients. To address these issues in primary processed Polygonum multiflorum products, utilizing microbial fermentation technology to improve the flavor, nutrition, and added value of Polygonum multiflorum has become a new trend in the processing industry. For example, new products such as Polygonum multiflorum wine, fermented milk, and enzymes have been developed or launched.

[0006] In the prior art, patent document CN113831972A discloses a high adjuvant ratio coastal white Polygonum multiflorum beer and its preparation method. In this invention, the starch-rich characteristics of white Polygonum multiflorum are utilized, and white Polygonum multiflorum starch is used as the main saccharification raw material. The beer is brewed at a ratio of white Polygonum multiflorum to barley malt of 1:1. Exogenous enzymes such as cellulase and pullulanase are selected to enhance the saccharification of white Polygonum multiflorum starch. At the same time, the mixed saccharified liquid of white Polygonum multiflorum and malt is co-fermented to obtain a white Polygonum multiflorum beer rich in arginine. In this invention, the use of multiple exogenous enzymes to saccharify white Polygonum multiflorum can effectively reduce the impact of the bitter substances of white Polygonum multiflorum on the overall flavor of beer. However, the ratio of white Polygonum multiflorum to barley malt in the raw materials used in this invention is 1:1. White Polygonum multiflorum contains a large amount of polyphenols, which, while improving the overall antioxidant performance and flavor of white Polygonum multiflorum, have a certain impact on the non-biological stability of beer.

[0007] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop a beer rich in Polygonum multiflorum and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a beer rich in Polygonum multiflorum and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems of obvious bitterness and poor non-biological stability of Polygonum multiflorum beer in the prior art.

In this invention, barley malt, wheat malt, and Polygonum multiflorum are crushed, mixed, saccharified, filtered, boiled, vortexed, cooled, fermented, bottled, and sterilized. This yields a Polygonum multiflorum beer with good non-biological stability, a distinct Polygonum multiflorum flavor, no bitterness, and good antioxidant properties. Two types of hops are added during boiling and fermentation, respectively, providing a basic bitterness to the beer while maximizing the compatibility of the unique flavor of Polygonum multiflorum with the overall beer flavor, reducing the obvious bitterness of the beer, and enhancing the overall taste and complexity. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of α-amylase, proline endonuclease, saccharifying enzyme, and β-glucanase in the compound enzyme preparation promotes saccharification, fully releasing the active substances in Polygonum multiflorum. Simultaneously, the proline endonuclease improves the non-biological stability of the beer by reducing turbidity. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has broad application prospects.

[0123] Data Analysis:

[0124] As can be seen from Tables 1, 2, and 3, the beer prepared by this invention exhibits higher non-biological stability, lower bitterness, and better sensory evaluation. This may be due to the synergistic effect of α-amylase, proline endonuclease, saccharifying enzyme, and β-glucanase in the compound enzyme preparation, which promotes saccharification, reduces the impact of bitter substances from Polygonum multiflorum on beer flavor, and fully releases the active substances in Polygonum multiflorum, effectively exerting antioxidant functions. Furthermore, the proline endonuclease, on the one hand, allows proline to bind with polyphenols in Polygonum multiflorum to form sensitive proteins. The proline endonuclease can selectively cleave the polyphenol-binding regions of these sensitive proteins, providing certain amino acids for fermentation and reducing easily precipitated polypeptide fragments, thus improving the non-biological stability of the system. On the other hand, by decomposing proline polypeptides, it significantly reduces the interaction forces between polypeptides and proteins, improving the clarity and non-biological stability of the beer. Simco hops are added in three stages during the boiling process. While evaporating some aroma, the α-acid isomerization provides the basic bitterness to the beer, and during fermentation... Dry-hopped cascarter hops maximize the retention of volatile aromatic compounds without adding bitterness, and also improve the beer's antioxidant properties. Both types of hops provide the beer's base bitterness while also integrating the unique flavor of white shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) into the overall beer flavor as much as possible, reducing the pronounced bitterness of white shou wu beer and enhancing its overall taste and complexity. Furthermore, a small amount of grape leaves and white shou wu powder are added to the wort at the beginning of boiling; the bitter compounds in the second addition of white shou wu powder can interact with the bitter compounds in the hops. The synergistic effect of α-acids further enriches the flavor profile of beer. Moreover, the polyphenols in white shou wu powder added during boiling can synergistically work with the polyphenols in hops to promote the precipitation of thermal coagulated substances, thereby improving the non-biological stability of beer. Grape leaves not only have antioxidant properties, but can also form complexes with polysaccharides and other substances in white shou wu powder, enhancing the colloidal stability of beer and increasing the retention rate of active substances in white shou wu. Furthermore, the astringency of the tannins contained therein may harmonize with the bitterness in white shou wu, enriching the flavor profile.
