The invention provides a preparation method of orange aromatic vinegar. The preparation method comprises the following steps: debitterizing green
orange juice, preparing green orange
wine mash, preparing orange vinegar
fermentation liquor, clarifying the orange vinegar
fermentation liquor, and
ageing the orange vinegar
fermentation liquor. In the green
orange juice debitterizing step, a debitterizing agent composed of
limonin dehydrogenase,
limonin epoxidase and modified
activated carbon according to the
mass ratio of (3-5): (1-3): (10-15) is added,
limonin is effectively removed, and the taste of the orange aromatic vinegar is improved. In the step of preparing the orange vinegar fermentation liquor, the immobilized
acetobacter aceti is added, so that the
acetobacter aceti is not easy to lose along with the fermentation liquor, the
utilization rate of thalli and the fermentation stability are improved, relatively high thalli concentration and activity can be kept, and the fermentation period is shortened. In the step of
ageing the orange vinegar fermentation liquor, a bamboo
barrel is used for
ageing, and the bamboo
barrel has good air permeability, so that trace
oxygen exchange of the orange vinegar fermentation liquor in the ageing process is facilitated, further fusion and development of
flavor components in vinegar are promoted, and the
flavor of the orange vinegar is more mellow and harmonious.
