[0012] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application clearer and more explicit, the application is further described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0013] Some embodiments of the application provide a low-sugar and low-alcohol health-preserving yellow rice wine and a production process thereof.

[0014] Embodiment: In combination with Figure 1 the accompanying drawings, the application provides a low-sugar and low-alcohol health-preserving yellow rice wine and a production process thereof, which include a rice soaking pool, a steaming box, a fermentation cylinder, a filter press, a filter, a pasteurization cabinet, a pottery jar, a precision filter and a sterile filling machine, the rice soaking pool is used for soaking glutinous rice to obtain soaked glutinous rice, the steaming box is used for steaming the soaked glutinous rice to obtain glutinous rice, the fermentation cylinder is used for fermenting the glutinous rice to obtain fermented glutinous rice, the filter press is used for squeezing the fermented glutinous rice to obtain wine liquid, the filter is used for filtering the wine liquid to obtain raw wine, the pasteurization cabinet is used for heating the raw wine to perform pasteurization to obtain cooked wine, the pottery jar is used for storing the cooked wine to perform storage aging for a certain time to obtain pure yellow rice wine, the precision filter is used for filtering the pure yellow rice wine after blending of different years to obtain finished yellow rice wine, and the sterile filling machine is used for filling the finished yellow rice wine into wine bottles to obtain packaged yellow rice wine.

[0015] In this process, every step needs to go through strict quality control to ensure the quality of the final product. The water temperature and time of the rice soaking pool are precisely controlled to ensure that the glutinous rice is fully soaked and does not spoil; the steaming box uses a specific steam pressure and time setting to make the glutinous rice reach the ideal degree of ripening, providing a basis for subsequent fermentation; after adding self-made wheat koji to the fermentation cylinder, the temperature and humidity are controlled to promote the activity of microorganisms, making the fermentation process stable and avoiding excessive fermentation that leads to an unbalanced taste; the operation of the filter press focuses on the uniformity of pressure to maximize the extraction of wine while reducing the mixing of impurities; the filter uses multiple layers of filter material to effectively remove suspended particles and make the raw wine clear. The heating curve in the pasteurization cabinet is optimized to kill harmful bacteria while preserving the nutritional ingredients and flavor substances in the wine body; the use of pottery jars not only gives yellow rice a unique aging aroma, but also promotes the natural maturation of the wine body through its air permeability; the fine filter further improves the purity of the blended yellow rice, and the sterile filling machine completes the packaging in a highly clean environment to ensure the safety and reliability of the product from production to consumption.

[0016] Among them, the koji is made of wheat, the selected wheat is dry, full and with moisture ≤13%, no impurities and no insect damage, the pure water is made from clean water source that meets GB5749 "Drinking Water Health Standards", and the microbial and heavy metal indicators are detected regularly, the temperature control fermentation technology is that the fermentation temperature is constant at 26℃, the alcohol content, PH value and sensory state are recorded daily, abnormal state is found immediately for manual intervention, and the fermentation time should not be less than 50 days to ensure the generation of flavor substances, in the fermentation step, the strains in the koji will first decompose starch into sugar (saccharification), then the yeast will start to proliferate and convert sugar into alcohol (alcoholic fermentation), in the bottling step, sterilization is performed again to kill the microorganisms (yeast, lactic acid bacteria, etc.) in the blended yellow rice, terminate the fermentation process and further improve the wine quality stability.

[0017] In actual operation, in order to ensure the activity of koji and the fermentation effect, the wheat needs to be screened and moderately baked before koji making to remove possible moldy particles and improve its aroma, at the same time, the selection of glutinous rice is also crucial during the brewing process, requiring uniform particles, no mold, no odor, to ensure that the cooked rice can achieve the desired stickiness and taste, in addition, the sanitary conditions of the fermentation environment must be strictly controlled, all contact materials must be sterilized at high temperature to avoid interference of bacterial contamination on the fermentation process.

[0018] For the use of pure water, in addition to meet the national standards, also need to adjust its temperature according to seasonal changes, so that it matches the fermentation system, thus promoting the normal activities of microorganisms, and in the temperature control fermentation stage, in addition to maintain a constant temperature, also need to pay attention to the adjustment of humidity, because the humidity is too low or too high will affect the reproduction speed of bacteria and the accumulation of metabolites. When the fermentation cycle is over, through the combination of sensory evaluation and physical and chemical analysis, to confirm whether the fermented grains reach the expected maturity, only the fermented grains that meet the standards can enter the next step.

[0019] Finally, after filling, the packaging of yellow rice wine needs to be stored in a cool and dry place for short-term standing, in order to further stabilize the wine body structure, and also helps to eliminate the slight oxidation taste that may be introduced during the sterilization process, and finally presents a better flavor performance.

[0020] Specifically, the process can add different flowers, grasses, melons, fruits or Chinese herbal medicines and other materials for synchronous fermentation according to demand, so that the final pure yellow rice wine obtains different flavors and different beneficial ingredients, and after blending, the blended yellow rice wine with mellow flavor and multiple levels can be obtained, and different blending standards can be set to obtain more flavor unique blended yellow rice wine, so as to meet the needs of more people, obtain greater market, and better economic benefits.

[0021] Moreover, through this flexible production process, not only the traditional characteristics of yellow rice wine can be preserved, but also innovative elements preferred by modern consumers can be integrated. In the selection of added materials, attention is paid to their natural properties and nutritional value, so as to ensure that the final product not only meets the health concept, but also has a unique taste experience; At the same time, according to the taste preference and health needs of different groups of people, the classification of products can be further refined, such as launching fruit-flavored yellow rice wine suitable for young people, or medicinal rice wine for the elderly. Such diversification strategy not only can enhance the market competitiveness of products, but also can open up more consumer groups in the subdivided field, and bring wider recognition and loyalty to the brand.

[0022] It should be understood that the 12151 process adopted in the present application is specifically that 100 kg of glutinous rice is selected, 20 kg of wine starter is added, 100 kg of wine is produced, and the fermentation time is not less than 50 days and the aging time is at least 1 year.
