What are the nutritional values of liquor?

Since ancient times, it has been thought that liquor is a mixture of alcohol and water. Actually, it's not. Liquor contains not only alcohol and water, but also more nutrients. Beer is known as "liquid bread", and yellow wine and wine are known as "liquid cakes". However, it seems that wine can't be compared with other seemingly nutritious foods. Ordinary consumers may think that liquor is just alcohol and water, because alcohol and water generally account for the proportion of liquor. Over the years, the research on the remaining 1%~2% components in white wine except alcohol and water has become more and more in-depth. Through modern analysis and detection technology, more than 2000 substances (including alcohol, aldehyde, acid, ester, ketone, phenol, trace elements, etc. ) has been detected in liquor.

? Esters are an important part of liquor aroma. Although the binding acids of these esters are different, they are almost all ethyl esters. Esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate and ethyl acetate are chromatographic skeleton components in liquor, which play an important role in the formation of liquor aroma, taste and style. Isoamyl acetate was found in some high-quality liquor. Ordinary liquor with short fermentation period has the highest content of ethyl acetate among esters, ranking second except alcohol and water. Ethyl propionate is rare in wine. Ethyl butyrate smells much better than butyric acid, and in rare cases it will have the aroma of fruit. Ethyl lactate has a soft fragrance, but if it is too much, it smells like grass. Others are keto acid esters, which have excellent aroma, but generally not much in liquor. In addition, ethyl acetate has a restrictive effect on acetaldehyde, which can mobilize body fluids through the kidney and eliminate substances that are uncomfortable to the human body in wine. Ethyl lactate can promote ethanol to stimulate cerebral cortex and make people excited. Ethyl acetate can reduce lung fire and stabilize cardiopulmonary function.
