Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a method for producing a health liquor in which the dipping period of a raw material is remarkably shortened. CONSTITUTION:This method for producing a health liquor is composed of (1) the first step for using a fruity or a vegetable galenical such as a pome or ginseng and drying the raw material from a raw state by a hot-air drying or a vacuum drying method, (2) the second step for roughly crushing the dried raw material and chopping the crushed dried raw material to about 2-3mm size, (3) the third step for thermally sterilizing the chopped raw material with high-pressure steam, (4) the fourth step for redrying the thermally sterilized raw material and (5) the fifth step for dipping the dried raw material in SHOCHU (low-class distilled spirit) of about 35 deg. alcohol strength and eluting the extract. The production period which has conventionally been several years can be shortened to about 1 week according to this method for producing the health liquor.

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 health liquor obtained by eluting an extract such as quince or ginseng in alcohol.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the above-mentioned method for producing healthy liquor, quince, ginseng and the like are soaked in shochu having an alcohol content of about 35 degrees for several years, and the extract is dissolved in the shochu.

[0003]

In the conventional manufacturing method,
Since the raw material extract elutes very slowly, it takes about several years after the raw material is soaked in alcohol until it is ready for drinking. Since it takes a very long time to be ready for drinking as healthy liquor, it is not suitable for production in general households. Because a person who wants to stay healthy with healthy liquor can not wait without doing anything for several years, and I can forget that the ingredients are soaked in alcohol over time. Because there is no. Therefore, the manufacturer will distribute the finished healthy liquor to the market,
Since it takes a long time to be ready for shipping, the investment efficiency is poor and the cost is correspondingly high. In addition, it is necessary to estimate the demand for a few years ahead of production, and if the demand forecast is missed, the product produced during that time will be wasted or, on the contrary, will be out of stock. Unlike healthy sake, which has a relatively stable demand, such as healthy sake, it is difficult to take a high risk because the sales are easily influenced by the fashion.

[0004]

The present invention provides a method for producing healthy liquor, which comprises the following steps. Karin, ginseng, other fruits and botanical crude drugs are used as raw materials, and the raw material is dried from the raw state by a hot air drying method or a vacuum drying method. The second step of carving into size, the third step of heat-sterilizing the carved raw material with high-pressure steam, the fourth step of drying the raw material after heat sterilization again, the dried raw material is soaked in alcohol to elute the extract Five steps.

[0005]

[Function] When the raw material is cut into small pieces and dried, the elution rate of the extract is remarkably high when immersed in alcohol. For example, when ginseng processed through the first to fourth steps is dipped in shochu with an alcohol content of about 35 degrees, the extract amount of healthy liquor soaked for about 7.5 years by the conventional manufacturing method is exceeded in one week.

[0006]

EXAMPLES The method for producing health liquor of the present invention will be described below. The raw materials are quince, ginseng, and other fruits and botanical crude drugs, which are used in a raw state. Then, the raw material is sufficiently dried from the raw state by a hot air drying method or a vacuum drying method (first step). Next, the raw material dried above is crushed by a crusher and cut into a size of about 2 to 3 mm (second step). Next, the chopped raw material is heat-sterilized by high-pressure steam (third step). At this time, a process of removing a peculiar smell or the like may be performed. Next, the raw material after the above heat sterilization is dried again (fourth step). The dried raw material is put into a non-woven bag in a fixed amount to form a tea bag. Finally, the dried raw material is immersed in alcohol (shochu with an alcohol content of about 35 degrees) to elute the extract (fifth step). The extract is sufficiently dissolved in alcohol when it is soaked for about 1 week.

[0007]

As described above, according to the production method of the present invention, the production period of healthy liquor can be drastically shortened. For example,
Regarding the production of healthy liquor made from ginseng,
Inspection results requested by the Japan Food and Oil Inspection Association (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Registration Rating Agency Registration No. 48)
According to the inspection certificate No. 5075 dated December 22, 2015, the amount of eluted extract is 1.35% in the conventional immersion period of 7.5 years.
In contrast to (W / V), in the present invention, the extract content is 1.94% (W / V) in a soaking period of 1 week, and the extract content that is soaked in the conventional manufacturing method for 7.5 years is only 1 week. It was higher than the immersion. Therefore, when the manufacturer completes the healthy liquor and then distributes it in the market, the manufacturing period can be shortened to several hundredths to one-hundredths of the conventional one, resulting in significantly higher investment efficiency and easier management. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since healthy liquor is completed in one week, it is sufficient to produce an appropriate amount according to the current market trends, and there is no need to take the high risk of demand fluctuations due to the trend unlike in the past. However, the manufacturing method of the present invention is
It is more efficient for the manufacturer to sell only the dried raw materials after performing the first to fourth steps, and to adopt a system in which the consumers individually soak the dried raw materials in alcohol at home. That is, the consumer can drink the dried raw material in alcohol at home for about one week, and therefore, the consumer does not have to wait for a long period of time unlike the conventional manufacturing method. On the other hand, the dried raw material is light and not bulky, and it has the advantage that it is easy to handle, such as it does not break like the bottled health liquor in the packaged state, and it reduces transportation and storage costs.
Demonstrate excellent economic effect.
