Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a yeast activating substance by which the production can be carried out in a few steps and fermentation can sufficiently be accelerated. SOLUTION: This method for producing a yeast activating substance comprises dipping barley, malt or malt roots in an acid containing phosphoric acid, etc., carrying out acid treatment, then removing solid residues after dipping in the acid, providing a supernatant, adding a precipitation accelerator such as calcium chloride to the resultant supernatant, conducting neutralizing treatment, separating a precipitate produced by the neutralizing treatment and affording the solid yeast activating substance. In this case, since the barley, etc., do not contain a large amount of water, the preservation and handling thereof are facilitated. Since the barley, etc., do not contain a large amount of lipids, operations to remove the lipids, etc., are not required. Thereby, the yeast can sufficiently be activated without deteriorating the quality of fermentation products such as beer.

Next, when the stirring is stopped, the solid component, which is an insoluble substance, precipitates quickly. Therefore, the insoluble substance is removed as an unnecessary component, and only the liquid component, which is a supernatant, is separated from the unnecessary component. As the separation method, for example, a sieve, and further, if necessary, a solid component is removed using a centrifuge, a screw decanter, a press filter, a filtration device, a membrane separation device, or the like, and only the liquid component as a supernatant is removed. A solid-liquid separation method for separation or a method in which only the supernatant is separated using the siphon principle may be used. The solid-liquid separation step is
Primary solid-liquid separation, which removes most of the extraction residues such as malt roots, and secondary solid-liquid separation, which removes fine solids that cannot be removed by primary solid-liquid separation. As the primary solid-liquid separation method, a method using a sieve, a screw decanter, a press filter, or the like is effective. On the other hand, filtration, centrifugation, membrane separation, and the like are mainly used as the secondary solid-liquid separation method.

Next, the germ-like malt root soaked in acid is heated. As a result, the inorganic salts, which are active ingredients for activating yeast, are eluted at a concentration of about 1.5 to 2 times as much as that without heating, and the microorganisms attached to barley, malt or malt root are killed. Is done. The heating temperature at this time is preferably 50 to 120 ° C, more preferably 60 to 120 ° C.
100 ° C. When the heating temperature is lower than 50 ° C., the dissolution efficiency of zinc tends to decrease, and the bactericidal effect tends not to be expected. , Astringency and the like tend to be extremely strong. The time for maintaining the temperature is 0.

Next, the liquid yeast activating substance is concentrated.
Examples of the concentration method include vacuum concentration and heat concentration. Heat concentration is preferably performed under reduced pressure since the product quality such as coloring, astringency, and bitterness may be adversely affected. Since the liquid yeast activating substance thus obtained contains a sufficient amount of components effective for activating yeast, the quality of fermented products such as beer can be improved by adding a small amount (usually 0.01 to 0.1%). The activation efficiency of the yeast can be sufficiently improved without impairing the yeast.

Therefore, a calcium or magnesium compound, which is an inorganic salt having a chemical property similar to that of the inorganic salt in the supernatant, is used as a precipitation promoter, and an acid capable of forming an insoluble salt by combining with the calcium or magnesium compound is used. As a result of examining whether it is possible to precipitate and solidify the yeast activating component by coprecipitation, when phosphoric acid or oxalic acid is used as the acid used during acid immersion, precipitation occurs with the precipitation accelerator, and the supernatant liquid It was confirmed that the amount of inorganic salts contained therein was significantly reduced.

That is, an inorganic salt which forms an insoluble salt by combining with a divalent anion whose chemical properties are similar to those of the yeast activating component in the supernatant as a precipitation accelerator, It has been found that solidification (concentration) of the yeast-activating component can be achieved by using an acid that binds to an ion to form an insoluble salt or an acid containing the acid in the acid immersion. When lactic acid or hydrochloric acid was used for the acid immersion, solidification could not be performed because these acids and the precipitation accelerator did not precipitate, but also in this case, divalent cations such as phosphoric acid and oxalic acid were used. The yeast-activating component can be precipitated and solidified by adding an acid which forms an insoluble salt by combining with the acid.

The amount of the liquid or solid yeast activating substance of the present invention to be added is not particularly limited and is selected according to the fermentation conditions, the content of the active ingredient in the yeast activating substance, and the like. For example,
When a dry yeast activator in solid form is added to wort when producing beer or low-malt beer as fermented liquor, the amount added is 1 g per 1,000 liters of wort.
-20 g, that is, 1 ppm to 20 ppm is desirably added. When a liquid or solid yeast activating substance is previously added to yeast used for fermentation, an amount corresponding to the amount added to wort may be used. If the amount is less than the above lower limit, it tends to be difficult to shorten the fermentation period. On the other hand, if it is more than the above upper limit, the degree of shortening of the fermentation period hardly changes, which is not practical.

That is, when the liquid or solid yeast activating substance is added to the yeast used for fermentation in advance, the addition time is not particularly limited, and the yeast activating substance is added on the day before the scheduled date of the fermentation. The yeast may be stored for a long time after the addition. The term “long-term storage yeast” as used herein is a concept that is compared with a yeast (a so-called normal yeast) that is collected after the end of fermentation and is continuously used as bleached yeast (even if stored temporarily for about one week).

As described above, inorganic salts (fermentation promoting components) containing zinc, manganese, phosphoric acid, magnesium and the like contained in the yeast activating substance are gradually produced during production of fermented products such as beer and low-malt beer (fermentation process). This is because the yeast ingests the yeast activating component. Therefore, in the method for producing a fermented product of the present invention, a fermented product is produced in a short period of time and stably.
