Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing alcoholic beverages, and more particularly to a method for producing alcoholic beverages by using irradiation-treated and electrolyzed water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, alcoholic beverages are known to have side effects due to the effect of alcohol on the fat content accumulated in the liver of the human body. Specific methods for solving the above problems have been disclosed in the art known in the art. Although the alcohol content is insignificant, non-alcoholic beverages with a taste of alcohol have been disclosed in the prior art. This solution is not always satisfactory because the drinker chooses other effects of the alcohol that can be obtained physically or mentally. Furthermore, there is no certainty that the taste of the beverage will be delicious due to the lack of alcohol content.

[0003] Water (H ₂ O) is a polar molecule having a bent structure that is not linear. When hydrogen bonds occur between molecules due to the polarity of water in an ordinary liquid state, water molecules (lumps) are formed. This group obstructs the flow of water and increases the viscosity of the water. If you break down the water molecules to lower the viscosity of the water,
The actual size of this group should be reduced. As a result, the molecules of the decomposed water have a greater polarity than the molecules of the water that have been aggregated, and thus have a higher affinity for fat particles and the like passing through the blood vessels. In the prior art in this field, a method similar to that disclosed in the present invention has not been published. Thus, this method is a new one that has never been revealed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method for producing an alcoholic beverage having less side effects on the human liver. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method for reducing the viscosity of water without the need for expensive equipment.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for obtaining an alcoholic beverage having less side effects on the liver of the human body. This method is a method for producing an alcoholic beverage by using specially produced water instead of general distilled and filtered water used in the fermentation process.

[0006] Special water production processes include a multi-step process to obtain low viscosity water. This step consists of a plurality of individual batch processes, where the subsequent process results in a lower viscosity product than the product obtained in the previous process. The first process is to pass an electric current through the electrolyte-free water to obtain a low viscosity water. This can be achieved by reducing the size of the water molecules formed by hydrogen bonding. Reduction of the size of the water molecules can be achieved by electrolysis of water. When water is electrolyzed, the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are broken and the water molecules can be decomposed, thus reducing the viscosity of the water. As a result, the obtained water is fed again to the batch-type batch energy supply reactor, whereby the water is continuously irradiated with far infrared rays in each batch-type reactor for a certain residence time, and as a result, A low viscosity product is obtained in the reactor.

[0007] The effluent discharged from the final container is supplied in accordance with the flow chart of the conventional brewing process, and as a result, it is possible to obtain a product having less side effects on the human liver during drinking.

[0008] The conventional brewing process includes a method in which malt (sugar syrup) -treated barley and other grains are pulverized by a mill. If malt known as "grist for brewing (grist)" is mixed with hot water in a mash type keg,
Enzymes in the malt can convert starch into fermentable and non-fermentable sugars. The resulting sweet liquid is called "wort", which is fed into a boiling pot. Hops are added at time intervals during the feed phase where the liquid enters the kettle. The selected hop oil solution affects the taste, aroma and concentration of the ale and lager solution. Cool the hop-treated wort and pump it into the fermentation tank,
At this time, if yeast is added, the fermentation reaction is started. Yeast converts fermentable sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide, while non-fermentable sugars remain liquid and contribute to the flavoring of beverages. After 3 to 5 days, the active fermentation process is completed, and then the tank is sealed and the liquid is allowed to undergo a natural carbonization reaction (aging). The end of the reaction in the active fermentation step can be determined by measuring the specific gravity of the liquid in the tank. Apart from these main production steps, special brewing methods and further filtration and processing tanks can be used depending on the type of product desired. The alcoholic beverage used in the present invention,
Not particularly limited, beer, wine, sake, awamori, shochu, whiskey, vodka, brandy, rum, gin,
Includes Kaoliangchu, pikal, liqueur, various cocktails, etc.

[0009] The above content, together with other objects, will be more specifically described in the appended claims. For a better understanding of the present invention, operational advantages and special objects achieved by using the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The principles and characteristics of the present invention may be better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIG. 1, the method for producing water of the present invention is a multi-step process comprising a plurality of batch processes, and the products obtained at each stage of the entire process are continuously Supplied to a batch process. The first batch process involves passing an electric current through the water. The water used is preferably filtered, and water containing dissolved contaminants, such as salts, cannot be completely saturated with oxygen.In order to maximize the oxygen content in the water, electrolytes and contaminants must be removed from the water. Must not be included. The current voltage is about 50 to 10
0V is preferred. This method can use multiple cathode and anode leads to maximize the current effect.
Furthermore, the use of a stirrer is advantageous for the reaction because it can be exposed to the entire solution to the maximum. At this stage, a low-viscosity product can be obtained by decomposing water molecules that interfere with the operation of the fluid and cause an increase in the viscosity of the solution.

The second batch process involves an energy supply reactor which is a batch process tank reactor fitted with several far infrared electrodes. This electrode is located along the tank and has maximum exposure to water. The effluent obtained from the first batch process flows into the energy supply reactor, where the water is irradiated with far-infrared rays emitted by the electrodes, in particular far-infrared rays of varying wavelength. In addition, the irradiation treatment with far-infrared rays has a substantial effect on reducing the viscosity of exposed water by supplying energy that breaks hydrogen bonds between agglomerated water molecules, etc. Can be reduced to reduce the viscosity of the water.

[0012] The energy supply reactors are arranged in series, and the effluent from one reactor flows into the subsequent reactor according to a continuous process sequence. The amount of change in viscosity of water is proportional to the residence time exposed to far infrared rays. Still other reactors can be added in process order, but the efficiency in each subsequent reactor is greatly reduced.

[0013] The effluent from the fourth reactor is supplied with a basic or acidic compound to adjust the pH of the solution.
It can flow into the H adjusting vessel. The effluent from the fourth reactor is further separated by an active salt electrode, especially
It can also be fed to a reactor equipped with a water-insoluble salt electrode.

[0014]

According to the present invention, an alcoholic beverage is manufactured using special water obtained through a multi-step process of obtaining low-viscosity water, and the beverage at this time has a side effect on the human liver when drinking. Has less effect.
