Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of health-care beverages, and in particular to a formula of a medicine-food wine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, edible and medicinal wines, known for their health benefits and drinking value, have garnered widespread attention. Prior art preparations for edible and medicinal wines often use Chinese medicinal herbs such as wolfberry, eucommia bark, and ginseng as raw materials, combined with baijiu (white wine) or yellow rice wine, through soaking and extraction processes. For example, some edible wines are simply made by soaking the herbs for several weeks, extracting the active ingredients, and then filtering them. These products have demonstrated efficacy in nourishing the body and enhancing immunity, are widely used, and feature relatively mature preparation techniques, making them suitable for home or small-scale production.

[0003] However, existing technologies have significant flaws. First, the traditional soaking process has low extraction efficiency, making it difficult to fully release the active ingredients in the medicinal materials, affecting the health benefits. Second, the existing formula design lacks a scientific basis, and the raw material ratios are very arbitrary, resulting in unstable product efficacy. In addition, the preparation process lacks standardized control. For example, parameters such as soaking time and temperature are unclear, which can easily lead to quality differences. These problems limit the industrial production and market competitiveness of medicinal and edible wines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a formula of a medicine-food wine and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Wolfberry, weight after drying: 1000g; Eucommia ulmoides, weight after drying: 300g; American ginseng, weight after drying: 100g; Rehmannia root, weight after drying: 50g; Longan pulp, weight after drying: 100g; Cistanche deserticola, weight after drying: 100g; 15L of white wine.

[0008] Preferably, the liquor is a grain liquor brewed from sorghum with a volume fraction of 50%.

[0009] A method for preparing a medicinal and edible wine, for preparing the medicinal and edible wine, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Pretreatment of medicinal materials: clean the following medicinal materials, remove impurities, and air-dry them for later use: 1000 g of wolfberry, 300 g of eucommia bark, 100 g of American ginseng, 50 g of prepared rehmannia root, 100 g of longan pulp, 100 g of cistanche deserticola, slice the eucommia bark, crush the American ginseng, and slice the prepared rehmannia root;

[0011] (2) Mixing: Mix the processed medicinal materials evenly according to the proportion;

[0012] (3) Extraction: Add the medicinal material mixture to 15 L of 50% by volume liquor, seal and soak, place in a cool, dark environment at 20-25°C for 30-45 days, and stir once every 5 days;

[0013] (4) Filtration: Take out the wine and use a filter or gauze to remove the medicinal residue to obtain the primary filtered medicinal wine;

[0014] (5) Aging: Seal the medicinal wine and age it for more than 30 days to make the taste more mellow;

[0015] (6) Packaging: pasteurize the medicinal wine at 60℃ for 30 minutes, and then pack it into finished products after cooling.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), Eucommia ulmoides is cut into slices with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm, Rehmannia glutinosa is cut into slices with a thickness of 1 to 2 mm, and American ginseng is crushed to a diameter of less than 5 mm.

[0017] Preferably, in step (3), intermittent stirring is adopted, and each stirring time is 5 to 10 minutes.

[0018] Preferably, in step (3), the container is made of food-grade polyethylene or a stainless steel sealed barrel.

[0019] Preferably, in step (4), three layers of medical gauze are first used for coarse filtration, and then a 0.3 mm stainless steel mesh is used for fine filtration.

[0020] Preferably, in step (5), the medicinal wine is sealed and stored in a constant temperature environment at a temperature of 15 to 20°C.

[0021] Preferably, before step (6), the medicinal wine is tested for dissolved oxygen to ensure that the oxygen content does not exceed 2 mg / L to avoid flavor degradation.

[0022] Preferably, the pH value of the final product of the medicinal wine is 4.0-4.5, and the alcohol content is 25%-30%.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention provides a formula for a medicinal and edible wine and a preparation method thereof. By scientifically proportioning medicinal materials such as wolfberry, eucommia bark, and American ginseng, and using 50% by volume of sorghum-brewed grain wine as a matrix, the health-care function of the medicinal wine is significantly enhanced. The medicinal materials in the formula work synergistically, nourishing kidney qi and enhancing immunity, making it suitable for long-term drinking to improve sub-health conditions. Experiments have shown that the content of active ingredients in the medicinal wine prepared by this formula is approximately 20% higher than that of the traditional soaking process, and the health-care effect is more stable. The precise ratio of raw materials and the selection of liquor ensure that the product has a mellow taste, is suitable for different groups of people to drink, and has high market acceptance.

[0025] 2. The preparation method of the present invention significantly improves production efficiency and product quality through standardized processes. A 30-45-day sealed soaking process combined with intermittent stirring effectively promotes the release of active ingredients from medicinal materials, and the extraction efficiency is increased by more than 15% compared to traditional methods. In addition, pasteurization and dissolved oxygen detection steps ensure the safety and flavor stability of the medicinal wine, extending its shelf life. The process parameters are clear, the operation is simple, and it is suitable for industrial production, which can effectively reduce production costs and improve market competitiveness.

[0026] 3. The present invention improves the clarity and taste of the medicinal wine through meticulous pretreatment and double filtration processes. The pretreatment method of slicing Eucommia ulmoides and Rehmannia glutinosa and crushing American ginseng increases the contact area between the medicinal materials and the liquor and optimizes the extraction effect. The filtration process combining coarse filtration and fine filtration effectively removes impurities, making the medicinal wine clear and transparent with a soft taste. The constant temperature environment of 15-20°C during the aging process further improves the flavor. The finished product has a pH value of 4.0-4.5 and an alcohol content of 25%-30%. The quality is stable and meets consumers' demand for high-quality health wine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
