Lotus seed wine and brewing technology thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to lotus seed wine and a brewing technology thereof. The lotus seed wine is brewed by using primary lotus seed processing wastes, namely lotus seed shells, ground lotus powder and lotus seed core powder, as raw materials according to a solid state fermentation method. The wastes produced in the primary lotus seed processing process are used as the wine brewing raw materials, so that the brewing technology is not only a deep lotus seed processing technology, but also a method for improving the economic efficiency of the lotus seed industry, and furthermore meets a requirement of creating a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. By the brewing technology, the cost of the raw materials of the lotus seed wine can be reduced to 10%, but the wine yield rate and the wine quality are not affected, and more customers can drink the high-quality and cheap lotus seed wine. By the lotus seed wine brewing technology, all parts of the lotus seeds are used as the raw materials, and the brewed lotus seed wine is puree wine without any additive and has the characteristics of clearness, transparence, strong lotus seed fragrance and pure mouth feel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of brewing, in particular to a lotus seed wine brewed from various waste materials formed in the primary processing of lotus seeds and a production process thereof. Background technique [0002] The nutritional value of lotus seeds is high, rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates. The content of calcium, phosphorus and potassium in lotus seeds is very rich. In addition to the ingredients that can form bones and teeth, they can also promote blood coagulation and activate certain enzymes. Maintain nerve conduction, calm nerves, maintain muscle flexibility and heartbeat rhythm. Rich phosphorus is also the main component of nuclear protein, which helps the body to metabolize protein, fat, and sugar, and maintains acid-base balance, and also plays an important role in the formation of sperm. Lotus seeds have the effect of nourishing the mind and calming the nerves. Middle-aged and elderly people, especially mental workers,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Dehulling of lotus shells: dried lotus shells are processed to obtain red lotus shells and produce waste lotus shells. Usually, lotus shells can only be burned to fertilize the field, which pollutes the environment and has a low utilization rate

[0005] (2) Red lotus skin grinding: the red skin of red lotus after shelling is mechanically ground to obtain white lotus and waste grinding lotus powder. The nutrients of grinding lotus powder are equivalent to those of white lotus, but it is usually only used as a feed ingredient. The resulting economic benefits and utilization are extremely low

[0006] (3) Drilling core of lotus seeds: the lotus cores are drilled out mechanically to obtain lotus seeds with cores. During this process, the lotus cores with complete appearance can be sold as lotus core tea, and the remaining incomplete wastes are difficult to be used

However, because the starch content of lotus seeds is much lower than that of other grain raw materials, the wine yield is low and the cost is high, so few people use lotus seeds for wine making

The existing lotus seed wine making process lacks lotus seed flavor due to the addition of other raw materials such as glutinous rice, or the product price is high and the quantity is low due to the use of high-priced finished lotus seed wine. The taste is similar to that of general grain wine
