TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquor brewing, in particular to an intelligent brewing process for traditional and modern fusion Mugouqinglian liquor. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a traditional fermented beverage in China, the brewing process of liquor has a long history, but the traditional production mode has long relied on manual experience, which has the following technical defects:
[0003] 1. Inadequate raw material processing: the traditional process lacks precise detection means for key indicators such as waxy rice amylopectin and lotus seed starch, relying only on manual experience for proportioning, resulting in low utilization of raw materials and generally less than 35% of liquor yield.
[0004] 2. Uncontrollable fermentation process: pit temperature and humidity depend on natural environment adjustment, with large fluctuation range (±5℃), unstable microbial metabolism, high risk of rancidity (up to 12% for traditional process), and long fermentation cycle (180 days for double bottom fermentation), resulting in low production efficiency.
[0005] 3. Distillation and blending rely on experience: the traditional liquor cutting process relies on manual sensory judgment, with less than 70% of high-quality middle-liquor; the blending process lacks scientific and quantitative standards, with poor flavor consistency and more than 25% fluctuation in key ester content such as ethyl hexanoate.
[0006] 4. Difficult quality traceability: production data records are scattered, making it impossible to achieve full-process reliable traceability, affecting product standardization and brand credibility.
[0007] In recent years, some enterprises have tried to introduce automated equipment (such as temperature control sensors and online detectors), but still have the following problems:
[0008] 1. Single-point optimization, unable to achieve full-process intelligent collaborative control;
[0009] 2. Lack of dynamic control model, unable to adapt to nonlinear changes in the fermentation process;
[0010] 3. Serious data island phenomenon, insufficient application of blockchain and other traceability technologies.
[0011] The present application aims to solve the above problems by deeply integrating Internet of Things, AI algorithms and multi-spectral analysis technology to build an intelligent brewing system from raw materials to blending, improving liquor yield (38.5%) and reducing rancidity rate (≤1%), while achieving precise control of flavor substances (similarity ≥98%), providing an innovative solution for the upgrading of traditional liquor industry. SUMMARY
[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is the problem of inaccurate raw material proportioning, uncontrollable fermentation process, poor flavor stability and difficult quality traceability in the traditional liquor brewing process.
[0013] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is a traditional and modern fusion type Mugou Qinglian liquor intelligent brewing process, comprising the following steps:
[0014] (1) Intelligent raw material pretreatment:
[0015] Waxy rice (amylopectin ≥ 80%), lotus seed (starch ≥ 60%), sorghum, rice, and wheat are proportioned at 25:10:35:20:10 by the Internet of Things weighing system;
[0016] After the raw materials are crushed, they are mixed with raw bran, and the steam condensate water from steaming bran is recycled as the water for measuring;
[0017] (2) Intelligent steaming and cooking:
[0018] Grain residues, red residues, and face residues are layered into a steaming pot, and a steam pressure sensor maintains the temperature at 105±2℃;
[0019] (3) AI fermentation management:
[0020] After the fermented grains are cooled to 25±1℃, the enriched bacteria (caproic acid bacteria ≥ 106 CFU / g, and yeast survival rate ≥ 95%) are inoculated;
[0021] The cellar intelligent temperature control system maintains 25±2℃ / humidity 75±5%, and the LSTM model dynamically regulates the fermentation period: 90 days for the conventional type and 180 days for the double wheel bottom type;
[0022] (4) Intelligent distillation and wine picking:
[0023] Based on near-infrared spectrum real-time detection of fermented grain components, the proportion of wine head (alcohol content ≥ 75%vol) is controlled at 3%, the middle section wine is controlled at 60% (60-70%vol), and the wine tail is controlled at 10% (≤40%vol);
[0024] Machine vision linkage multispectral detection (ethyl caproate ≥ 2.5g / L, ethyl acetate ≥ 1.2g / L) realizes quantity and quality wine picking;
[0025] (5) Digital aging and blending:
[0026] The base liquor is implanted with an RFID tag into a pottery jar library, and a BP neural network model takes 12 kinds of flavor substances as input and outputs the blending ratio (flavor similarity ≥ 98%);
[0027] The 12 kinds of flavor substances are ethyl caproate, ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl valerate, caproic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, butyric acid, isoamyl alcohol, β-phenylethanol, and 2,3-butanediol;
[0028] According to the embodiment ratio: lotus seed wine 67% + double wheel wine 23.5% + seasoning old wine 9.5%.
[0029] (6) Whole-process quality control:
[0030] AI image recognition quality inspection (automatically rejected when transmittance ≤ 90% NTU, foreign matter recognition accuracy ≥ 99.5%);
[0031] A blockchain system using Hyperledger Fabric architecture, each node synchronizes data through gRPC protocol, and the block generation time interval is set to 10 seconds, realizing data traceability from raw material inspection to finished product (alcohol yield ≥ 37.8%, rancidity ≤ 1%).
[0032] As a further scheme of the present application: the lotus seed starch detection in step (1) adopts GB 5009.9-2016 standard, and waxy rice amylopectin is verified by iodine colorimetry.
[0033] As a further scheme of the present application: in step (3), the enrichment of caproic acid bacteria needs to add yellow water extract with pH = 4.0-4.5, and anaerobic culture at 30°C for 7 days.
[0034] As a further scheme of the present application: the preparation method of the yellow water extract is as follows: taking the pit bottom yellow water, filtering it through a 0.22 μm membrane, and then concentrating it to 20% of the original volume at 60°C in a rotary evaporator, the total acid content is measured to be 8.5±0.3 g / L (calculated as acetic acid).
[0035] As a further scheme of the present application: in step (4), the flavor substance control range of the middle section wine is: ethyl lactate 0.8-1.8 g / L, ethyl caproate 2.8-3.5 g / L.
[0036] As a further scheme of the present application: in step (5), the input layer of the BP neural network contains the base wine age and the concentration of 12 kinds of flavor substances detected by GC-MS, and the output layer gives the blending scheme of alcohol content 52±0.5%vol and total ester ≥4.5 g / L.

[0038] (1) Thermodynamic regulation subsystem
[0039] Based on the non-steady-state heat transfer equation, the temperature field of the pit is accurately controlled:

[0042] (2) Spectral detection subsystem
[0043] Multi-component synchronous detection is achieved by using improved Lambert-Beer law:
[0044]

[0061] 2. Intelligent regulation of fermentation process
[0062] Dynamic fermentation management based on LSTM model, combined with pit temperature control system (25±2℃ / humidity 75±5%) and enrichment of caproic acid bacteria (≥ 10 6 CFU / g) in yellow water extract, reduces the rancidity rate to ≤ 1% (12% for traditional process), shortens the double-wheel bottom fermentation period to 180 days, and increases the stability of flavor substance output by 68% (± 8% fluctuation of ethyl caproate vs. ± 25% of traditional).
[0063] 3. High precision of distillation and wine picking
[0064] The composition of fermented grains is detected in real time by near-infrared spectroscopy, and accurate interception is performed according to 3% (≥ 75% vol) of wine head, 60% (60-70% vol) of middle-stage wine, and 10% (≤ 40% vol) of wine tail, combined with machine vision quality and quantity wine picking (ethyl caproate ≥ 2.5 g / L, ethyl acetate ≥ 1.2 g / L), thereby increasing the superior rate of middle-stage wine from 68% to 92%.
[0065] 4. Scientific flavor blending
[0066] Based on the BP neural network model, 12 kinds of flavor substances (such as ethyl caproate 2.8-3.5 g / L, ethyl lactate 0.8-1.8 g / L) are taken as inputs, and the blending ratio (lotus wine 67% + double-wheel wine 23.5% + flavoring old wine 9.5%) is taken as output, with a flavor similarity of ≥ 98% and an alcohol content control accuracy of ± 0.5% vol.
[0067] 5. Quality traceability of the whole process
