Optimization of Raw Material Ratio for Liquid-State Fermentation of Baijiu Based on D-Optimal Mixture Design
Three major grains planted in Hexi Corridor were used to produce Bajiu by liquid-state fermentation.A total of sixteen blending formulas were designed by using D-Optimal mixture method.The sensory quality,total acids,total esters and liquor yield of Baijiu were adopted as the re-sponse term(Y)to establish the regression model between the raw material ratio and the four response terms.The results showed that the optimal raw material ratio was 69.5%of corn,19.7%of barley malt,and 10.8%of wheat.Under the above conditions,the liquor yield was 51.123%,the total ac-ids was 0.723 g/L,the total esters was 1.923 g/L,and the sensory score was 87.167.The produced Baijiu had transparent appearance,harmonious aro-ma,mellow and sweet taste,and sweet aftertaste.
