The invention belongs to the field of food
fermentation, and particularly discloses a
fermentation process of
pickled vegetables in old jars, which comprises the following steps: selecting fresh vegetables, carrying out
irradiation sterilization pretreatment, carrying out primary micro-aerobic
fermentation by using a compound
bacteria solution containing specific microorganisms, and carrying out secondary anaerobic fermentation by using a
steeping liquor with a specific ratio. In the process, the vegetables are diversified, the compound
bacteria liquid is rich in various beneficial microorganisms such as halophilic
archaea,
lactic acid bacteria and
yeast, the
steeping liquor 1 and the
steeping liquor 2 respectively optimize the fermentation environment and are rich in nutritional ingredients and
flavor substances such as
lactic acid bacteria exopolysaccharides, tea polyphenols and
selenium-enriched
yeast powder, and the taste and fragrance of the
pickled vegetables are improved. Besides, according to the process, by accurately controlling the fermentation temperature,
humidity and time, the fermentation period is remarkably shortened, meanwhile, the use of chemical additives is avoided, and the safety and health of the
pickled vegetables are guaranteed; the prepared pickled vegetables in old jars are delicious in taste, rich in fragrance, short in fermentation time and free of chemical additives, and the requirements of consumers for high-quality and healthy foods are met.
