Research Progress in the Treatment of Rice Steeping Water in Yellow Rice Wine Production
Rice steeping water is the by-product of rice steeping process and it contains rich nutrients including starch, protein, sugar, organic acids, etc. The discharge of rice steeping water will seriously pollute the environment, however, scientific recycle of rice steeping water could produce satisfactory economic benefits. In this paper, we introduced the research progress in the treatment of rice steeping water, such as micro-biological method, absorption method, and the comprehensive utilization of rice steeping water. Furthermore, the development directions of rice steeping water treatment technology were discussed.
