Rice wine contains more than ten kinds of amino acids, 8 of which are indispensable for human synthesis. The content of lysine per liter of yellow rice wine is several times higher than that of wine and beer, which is rare in other nutritious wines, so people call it "liquid cake".
The nutrients in yellow rice wine are more easily absorbed by the human body, and it is a good product for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and the weak. Rice wine has the effects of stimulating appetite, helping digestion, warming and nourishing deficiency, refreshing and relieving fatigue, quenching thirst and relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and moistening skin.
Extended data
At present, there are three kinds of koji used in rice wine production: folk traditional koji, industrialized koji and pure koji. Among them, root koji is a necessary microbial strain for all yellow rice wine fermentation. After soaking and cooking glutinous rice, starch particles will fully absorb water and gelatinize, which is beneficial to saccharification of rhizosphere bacteria, that is, the process of decomposing starch into sweet products by adding water.
After the glutinous rice was inoculated with distiller's yeast, the microorganisms in it multiplied and secreted amylase, which made most of the starch saccharified into glucose, maltose and dextrin, a small amount of glucose decomposed into ethanol and organic acids, and a small amount of protein formed free amino acids. After fermentation, the soluble vitamins, minerals and sugars in glutinous rice are dissolved in rice wine, which is more conducive to human absorption.
During the fermentation of yellow rice wine, some glucose decomposes to produce organic acids, so it has a certain sour taste. These organic acids, together with sugars such as glucose, give yellow rice wine a sweet and sour flavor, and aromatic substances such as alcohol, ester and acid produced during fermentation give yellow rice wine a unique aroma.
