Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fermentation equipment, in particular to an antibacterial device in the process of red yeast rice fermentation. Background Art

[0002] Red yeast rice is a fermentation product formed when the mycelium of the Aspergillus fungus Monascus parasitizes on japonica rice. It has the appearance of broken rice, a brown-red exterior, a pink cross-section, and a crisp texture. Red yeast rice can be used as a natural food colorant and is commonly used to color foods such as fermented tofu, red velvet cake, and sausages, enhancing their color and aesthetic appeal. In the brewing industry, it is one of China's unique saccharifying and fermenting agents used in the production of yellow rice wine, and can be used to brew red yeast rice wine and other alcoholic beverages. Red yeast rice is also a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient with a warm nature and sweet flavor. It enters the liver, spleen, and large intestine meridians, and has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, strengthening the spleen, and promoting digestion. It can be used to improve symptoms such as indigestion, flatulence, and food accumulation. It can also assist in the treatment of postpartum lochia retention, abdominal pain due to blood stasis, dysentery, and traumatic injuries.

[0003] When red yeast rice is fermenting inside a fermentation vessel, it needs to be in a sealed environment. The seal can prevent external bacteria from entering the fermentation system, avoiding contamination and affecting the fermentation quality and yield. There are various microorganisms in the outside air. If the fermentation process is not sealed, these bacteria may enter the fermentation barrel, compete with red yeast rice for nutrients, and even produce harmful metabolites, destroying the fermentation process of red yeast rice. The existing fermentation sealing method is: the top cover is fixed to the fermentation vessel by bolts, clamps or other fastening devices; during the fastening process, pressure should be gradually and evenly applied to compress the sealing ring to achieve sealing; during the sealing process, due to processing accuracy, component wear and other reasons, it is difficult to ensure uniform and complete sealing on the entire contact surface; there may be tiny gaps, resulting in gas or liquid leakage, or external gas entering the fermentation vessel, which cannot play a role in antibacterial.
