Study on Brewing Characteristics of Different Varieties of Rice
As rice varieties,Gangyou 188,Gangyou 900,Teyou 94 and Teyou 600 are generally used for Baijiu brewing,and their selection by Baijiu enterprises mainly depends on the market supply,while the differences between their brewing characteristics are rarely concerned.In order to optimize the rice varieties for Baijiu brewing,the brewing characteristics of these four kinds of rice were analyzed and compared.The results showed that the total ester content,total acid content,and liquor yield of Gangyou 900 rice were the highest,with an liquor yield of 49.25%.The content of ethyl lactate was relatively high,only slightly lower than that of Gangyou 188 rice.The sensory score of the base liquor reached the excellent standard in the national standard.
