[0002] Selenium-rich food has the potential value of supplementing essential trace elements selenium in human body, and becomes a research hotspot in the field of food processing. Among them, selenium-rich wine has a growing market demand due to its drinking value and nutritional characteristics. Millet, as a traditional raw material for wine brewing, is rich in starch and natural organic selenium, and is a high-quality base material for preparing selenium-rich wine. However, the existing millet wine brewing process has many shortcomings: The existing wine brewing method mainly includes liquid method and solid method. The liquid method is based on liquid fermentation, and is brewed through different distillation and seasoning methods. The raw materials used are substances containing starch and sugar, which are subjected to liquid saccharification, fermentation, and then distilled by white wine raw material brewing equipment to obtain base wine. This method requires perfect equipment, has high automation degree, and the raw material yield is 5% higher than that of solid method, and the technology is relatively mature. However, the esters and total acid content of the wine produced by the liquid method are relatively low, which greatly reduces the drinking quality and the taste is not good. The existing technology improves the flavor by adding food flavorings, but artificial additives destroy the naturalness of the wine body. When using traditional solid-state fermentation process, the millet itself has less flavoring substances, and pure reliance on traditional koji fermentation results in a thin wine body and insufficient layering.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a processing technology of selenium-rich millet wine to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0024] S2: Raw material ratio: prepare 100 kg of main food selenium-rich millet (selenium content is 0.2 mg / kg), 15 kg of auxiliary material fresh fruit (select apple, grape), 35 kg of wine starter. Main food treatment: wash the selenium-rich millet, then soak for 2 hours after adding appropriate amount of water, then put it into the steamer and steam until it is soft and loose, then take it out and cool it to 30℃. Wine dregs making: mix the cooled selenium-rich millet with the fresh fruit crushed to a particle size of 0.5 cm, wine starter and appropriate amount of water evenly, control the moisture content to be 55%-65%, and make wine dregs. Put into the pool: evenly put the wine dregs into the fermentation cellar pool that has been built, and gently compact it. Specifically, the wine starter and the starter powder in S1 are both fragrant type wine starter, which is prepared by crushing, mixing, making starter base and fermenting bacteria from barley, peas and wheat in a mass ratio of 6:1-3:1-2.

[0025] S3: Cover the fermentation cellar pool with plastic film. Maintain the temperature in the cellar pool at 20-25℃, and ferment for 20 days. During the fermentation period, the temperature in the cellar pool is monitored every day to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range. During the period, the temperature in the cellar pool is monitored every day, and if the temperature exceeds the upper limit of the set range, immediately start the cooling fan to control the temperature, to ensure that the fermentation environment temperature is always in a stable state. Take out the fermented wine dregs and put them into the distillation equipment for distillation to obtain wine. Remove the head wine and tail wine, and cut the middle fraction as base wine.

[0026] S4: Cool the wine dregs after distillation to 20℃, then add 15% of the fragrant type wine starter, and mix evenly. S5: First round of circulation: put the wine dregs with added wine starter back into the cellar pool, seal it and maintain the temperature in the cellar pool at 20-25℃, ferment for 20 days, then distill, the operation is the same as step S4. Second round of circulation: cool the wine dregs after distillation to 30℃, add 10% of the wine starter, mix evenly and put into the pool, maintain the temperature at 20-25℃, ferment for 20 days, then distill. Third round of circulation: maintain the temperature at 20-25℃, ferment for 20 days, and distill in the above manner. Fourth round of circulation: maintain the temperature at 20-25℃, ferment for 20 days, and distill. After four cycles, four rounds of fermentation and four times of distillation are completed, a total of five times of fermentation and five times of distillation are performed.

[0027] Example Four The difference between example one and example four is: the wine starter and the starter powder in S1 are both strong-flavor type wine starter, which is prepared by fermenting bacteria from wheat; the mixed mud is made under anaerobic fermentation at 35-38℃ for 30-35 days; during the fermentation of wine dregs, the temperature in the cellar pool is maintained at 35-38℃, and the wine dregs are fermented for 30-40 days.

[0028] Example Five Different from example one, when the distiller's yeast is added, fresh fruit is also added, and the amount of the fresh fruit is 5%-8% of the dry matter mass of the fermented grains after distillation.

[0029] Example six Different from example four, when the distiller's yeast is added, fresh fruit is also added, and the amount of the fresh fruit is 5%-8% of the dry matter mass of the fermented grains after distillation.

[0030] Example seven Different from example one, the main grain also includes waxy rice and sorghum, and the proportion of the selenium-rich millet, waxy rice and sorghum is 80:5:15.

[0031] Example eight Different from example four, the main grain also includes waxy rice and sorghum, and the proportion of the selenium-rich millet, waxy rice and sorghum is 80:15:5.

[0032] In the production of Baijiu, when millet is mixed with fresh fruit for fermentation, the addition of fresh fruit can optimize the liquor body in terms of fermentation efficiency and flavor improvement: on the one hand, the soluble monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose contained in fresh fruit can be directly utilized by yeast and quickly enter the fermentation cycle without the need for the decomposition link of amylase necessary for millet starch, thus accelerating the alcohol conversion process and reducing the fermentation time; on the other hand, the flavor precursor substances (such as esters, terpenes, aromatic compounds, etc.) contained in fresh fruit will be further transformed by microorganisms during fermentation, and at the same time interact with the flavor substances produced by millet fermentation, increasing the content of ester substances such as ethyl acetate and ethyl hexanoate in the liquor, making the liquor body more mellow and sweet. Mature fruits should be selected for fresh fruit, and unripe fruits should be avoided due to their high organic acid content affecting the pH of the raw materials; the pretreatment steps include: rinsing the fresh fruit with water for 2-3 times to remove surface impurities; for stone fruit, manual or mechanical pitting is performed first; and a crusher is used to crush the treated fresh fruit into fruit pulp particles with a particle size of 5-10 mm.

[0033] After five rounds of fermentation and distillation, the selenium content of the liquor changes in the following trend: the highest in the first round, rapid decline in the second to third rounds, and slow decline and stabilization in the fourth to fifth rounds; the total ester content generally shows a downward trend, especially in the first three rounds. The liquor distilled in each example is mixed in equal proportions for detection.

[0034]

[0035] As can be seen from the table, the selenium content is positively correlated with the proportion of selenium-rich millet, and the total ester content is positively correlated with the amount of fresh fruit added.

[0036] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely exemplary of the principles and application of the present application. Numerous modifications and adaptions can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which is not limited to the exact construction and arrangement described. It is intended, therefore, to cover all modifications and adaptions that fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
