The present invention relates to a method for dividing alcoholic beverages into fractions of various concentrations. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for separating alcoholic beverages into fractions having different concentrations using a simple physical phenomenon, namely the freeze-thaw phenomenon. Demand for alcoholic beverages is said to be stagnant recently. The reason for this is thought to be that, despite the diversification of consumer demands (tastes), there are few distinctive products. Therefore, it can be said that responding to the diversification of consumer demands and expanding the demand for alcoholic beverages will be an important issue for this industry in the future. Furthermore, many attempts have been made to diversify alcoholic beverages, but among them, so-called low-concentration sake was obtained by diluting unprocessed sake with water; The harmony between water and water is not achieved properly, causing so-called "water collapse".
It was not satisfactory in terms of flavor etc. Furthermore, so-called high-concentration sake has conventionally been obtained by adding alcohol during fermentation, but in this case as well, harmony with alcohol has not been achieved well, making it impossible to obtain a satisfactory product. Therefore, the present inventor has developed a new method for diversifying alcoholic beverages that overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks. The purpose of the present invention is to diversify alcoholic beverages and increase their added value, thereby increasing the demand for alcoholic beverages. Another object of the present invention is to separate alcoholic beverages into fractions of various concentrations that retain characteristics such as flavor inherent in alcoholic beverages by simple operations. That is, the present invention freezes alcoholic beverages, then thaws them,
The present invention relates to a method for producing alcoholic beverages of various concentrations, characterized in that the liquefied portion is collected at predetermined time intervals at a predetermined temperature. Although the method of the present invention is applicable to all alcoholic beverages, it is particularly effective for sake, fruit wine, and liqueurs. Hereinafter, the present invention will be further explained using sake as an example, but it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that almost the same operations can be applied to other alcoholic beverages, and the same effects can be achieved. Generally, sake is known to contain water, ethanol, organic acids, reducing sugars, and other trace components such as alcohols other than ethanol, amino acids, and the like. They differ from each other in their melting points as well as their latent heats of fusion and, as a result, their melting rates. In principle, the present invention utilizes the latent heat of fusion and the difference in melting speed based on the difference in melting point, and by appropriately selecting the melting time at a predetermined temperature, sake components containing various concentrations can be produced. It is thought that it will be possible to obtain various types of sake products that are produced by this method, but the detailed theoretical background is not clear. The melting temperature that can be used in the present invention is conceptually in the range from higher than the freezing point of the alcoholic beverage to just below the boiling point; however, if the temperature is too high, the volatile trace components of the alcoholic beverage will be lost, resulting in the loss of the original flavor and flavor of the alcoholic beverage. Due to the loss of properties and the high melting rate, it becomes difficult to obtain a product of a given concentration. Therefore, it is preferable to use a temperature from higher than the melting point to at most room temperature. For reasons of melting speed, loss of volatile components, ease of working, and economical reasons, melting at room temperature is most desirable. According to the method of the invention, for example, alcohol fraction
20%, sake content approximately (-)6.0, and extract content
When using 7.47% unblended sake and melting at room temperature, the maximum alcohol content is 30.5% and the sake content (-)
It is possible to obtain a variety of sake products ranging from those with a minimum alcohol content of 1.0% or less, a sake content of ±0, and an extract content of 0.3% or less. Thus, according to the method of the present invention, the lower the melting temperature and the shorter the melting time, the more highly concentrated sake can be obtained which is rich in alcohol and other components with low latent heat of fusion. Therefore, the fraction obtained later becomes a low-concentration sake with a lower alcohol content. In general, alcoholic beverages with a higher alcohol content than unprocessed sake are called ``high-concentration sake,'' and those with lower alcohol content than the general commercial standard are called ``low-concentration sake.'' For example, in the case of sake, those with an alcohol content of 25% or more are considered high-concentration sake, while those with an alcohol content of 15% or less are considered low-concentration sake. According to the method of the present invention, excellent low-concentration sake is obtained that does not cause water droplets that occur when producing low-concentration sake by diluting unprocessed sake with water, that is, it retains the original characteristics of sake such as flavor. On the other hand, it is possible to obtain an excellent high-strength sake that does not exhibit the drawbacks seen in products produced by addition of alcohol. Furthermore, according to the present invention,
It is possible to obtain sake products that contain the same alcohol content as the original sake, but have different extract content. These are significant advantages of the present invention in which sake is directly frozen and thawed. Thus, with the freeze-thaw method of the present invention, there is a low risk of losing volatile components, such as esters, which play an important role in preserving the flavor of the product; Products that retain the original characteristics of sake and contain various concentrations of sake components can be obtained by appropriately selecting the melting time at a constant temperature, making it possible to diversify sake. As a result, it becomes possible to increase the added value. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings (FIG. 1). FIG. 1 shows a specific example of the melting method of the present invention. In this example, an apparatus for producing two types of sake products was shown. In FIG. 1, 1 is a tank for freezing and thawing sake, and has a spout 2 equipped with opening/closing means. During thawing, the tank is connected via the inlet 7 by suitable coupling means to a sump 3 (not necessarily required) having an inlet 7 and an outlet 8, which sump is further provided with pumping means ( It is connected to the first tank 4 and the second tank 5 for sake products by conduit means 6 comprising a pipe (not shown). The conduit means has a distribution means (not shown), for example a three-way pot, at a branch point in the upper part of the first tank. According to another aspect of the invention, the conduit means 6 may include pump means and opening and closing means, such as a two-way cock. In this case, replace the sake product tank as appropriate. In addition, in the case of fractionating into three or more types of sake products, three or more tanks may be connected by a conduit means equipped with the necessary number of distribution means, or a pump means and one opening/closing system may be used as described above. The objective can be achieved by utilizing conduit means provided with the means and by replacing the tank accordingly. In carrying out the present invention, first, sake is charged into a freezing-thawing tank 1, and then stored in a suitable freezing means, for example, in a freezing chamber, at a temperature below the freezing point of sake, i.e., about -20°C.
The material is slowly and completely frozen to the following temperature over a long period of time, for example, two days, and then thawed. During thawing, the frozen sake is maintained at a temperature higher than its freezing point, for example at room temperature, and the liquefied portion obtained at predetermined time intervals is collected using an appropriate means, for example the apparatus shown in Figure 1. . For example, alcohol content 20.3, sake content (-)
6.0, extract content 7.47%, when fractionated into two types of sake products at a ratio of 16:9 (melting time 1 hour, 15℃), alcohol content 25.6%, sake content (-) 8.6, and extract content A high concentration sake of 9.68% and a low concentration sake with an alcohol content of 10.4%, a sake content (-) of 2.3, and an extract content of 3.73% or less are obtained. When changing the amount charged, a temperature gradient will occur in the frozen body due to the heat conduction rate, so by plotting the relationship between time and alcohol concentration at a predetermined temperature on a graph in advance, you can easily adjust the product concentration to any desired concentration. It can be manufactured with good reproducibility with an error of ±0.5% in alcohol concentration. As an example, the melting curve when one is used at room temperature is shown in FIG. Since the method of the present invention is based on a freeze-thaw method, the product of the present invention retains the original flavor of alcoholic beverages and does not exhibit the various drawbacks of conventional methods such as water deterioration. In the end, according to the method of the present invention, the following effects can be achieved. (1) Through the extremely simple operation of freezing and thawing,
It is possible to diversify alcoholic beverages, increase their added value, and eventually expand the demand for alcoholic beverages. (2) Since it does not involve processes such as heating, loss of flavor etc. can be kept to a minimum. (3) There is no need to worry about water leakage. (4) The high-concentration sake obtained by this method has a high alcohol content and is rich in extracts, so it is rich and has an excellent flavor, and has a high degree of utility, such as on-the-lock and cold use. Example 1 Sake level -7.5, alcohol 21.5%, acidity 1.90,
Sake 1 with amino acid content 2.3 and extract content 8.32%
was placed in a container and slowly frozen for 48 hours in a freezing room whose temperature was controlled to -20°C. The frozen sake was then taken out from the freezer, thawed at room temperature, and divided into seven fractions. The melting time was 300 minutes. The results are shown in Table 1.
