This invention provides a non-bitter, highly clarified, and
flavonoid-rich pomelo rice
wine and its preparation method, belonging to the field of functional rice
wine technology. This invention uses pomelo juice, rice
wine body,
vitamin C, and
citric acid as raw materials. It employs a targeted enzymatic debittering process to specifically degrade bitter precursors such as
naringin and
limonene, completely eliminating bitterness and astringency. A low-temperature,
oxygen-free extraction technique is used to accelerate the gentle
dissolution of pomelo
flavor and functional components, avoiding the release of bitter substances and the degradation of heat-sensitive components. A β-
cyclodextrin encapsulation technique is used to selectively encapsulate bitter substances such as
naringin and
limonene, achieving debittering without loss of functional components and
flavor. A freeze-
sedimentation process is used to fully extract unstable substances and easily crystallized components that are difficult to settle at
room temperature, further improving shelf-life stability. The pomelo rice wine prepared by this invention has the advantages of a non-
bitter taste, high stability, and high
flavonoid content, making it easy to achieve large-scale
mass production.
