The invention belongs to the technical field of
food processing, and relates to a preparation method of a Chinese yam fermented beverage and a product thereof, the preparation method comprises the following steps: pulping Chinese yam, gelatinizing, and carrying out enzymolysis treatment by using
alpha amylase to obtain a first mixture; and performing mixed
fermentation on the first mixture by using
streptococcus salivarius subsp. Thermophilus and
lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus to obtain the fermented beverage. The beverage prepared from Chinese yam as a
raw material is extremely easy to layer and precipitate, and
starch in the Chinese yam is hydrolyzed by alpha-
amylase, so that on one hand, the fermentability of the Chinese yam is enhanced, the
fermentation efficiency is improved, and the generation of
flavor substances in the
fermentation process is promoted; on the other hand, the stability of the product in the
shelf life is improved to a certain extent. The prepared product is fresh, cool, soft and rich in nutritional value.
