This invention belongs to the field of vinegar
brewing technology, and provides a multi-strain co-
fermentation selenium-enriched active
probiotic functional vinegar and its preparation method. Jujube enzymatic
hydrolysate, malt juice, and ultrafine
powder of
Astragalus-
Codonopsis compound
traditional Chinese medicine are mixed in a certain proportion, and
sodium selenite is added. Alcoholic
fermentation is carried out using
Saccharomyces cerevisiae CGMCC 34906. After alcoholic
fermentation,
acetic acid and
lactic acid fermentation is carried out using a compound inoculum of
Lactobacillus plantarum and
Acetobacter pasteurization. After fermentation, the mixture is centrifuged, filtered, sterilized, post-ripened, blended, and sterilized. Active
selenium-enriched
Lactobacillus plantarum microcapsules are added, resulting in a double enhancement of
selenium enrichment and active probiotics, yielding a selenium-enriched active
probiotic functional vinegar. The vinegar is reddish-brown in color and has a complex
aroma of jujube and malt fermentation, along with the
aroma of
traditional Chinese medicine. It has a mellow and pure
sour taste with a long
aftertaste. The
flavor is rich and pleasant; total selenium ≥ 0.10 mg / L, and the number of viable
lactic acid bacteria ≥ 10. 7 CFU / mL, polysaccharides ≥60.00 mg / 100 mL, saponins ≥2.50 mg / 100 mL.
