Research on the Production Process of Lotus Seed-Glutinous Rice Huangjiu
In this study,heartless lotus seeds and glutinous rice were used as the raw materials to produce Huangjiu,and the production process was optimized by orthogonal experiments with physicochemical properties and sensory score as the indicators.The results showed that when adding 40%lotus seeds,soaking rice for 1 day,fermenting with water by 1.3 times of raw material,and adding 10%wheat Qu,a Huangjiu product with suitable physicochemical properties,excellent sensory quality,and rich nutrition was obtained.The alcohol content of the Huangjiu was 17.44%vol,the pH was 4.6,the total acids was 3.34 g/L,the amino acid nitrogen was 0.66 g/L,and the total sugar was 12.75 g/L.The Huangjiu had bright orange color and glossy appearance,with clear aroma of lotus seeds,mellow aroma of Huangjiu,mellow taste and no sourness.
