Abstract

FIELD: alcoholic beverage industry. SUBSTANCE: process involves preparation of water-alcohol mixture by mixing rectified ethyl alcohol called "Extra" with drinking water characterized by hardness 1.5 to 3.5 mole/cu.m to give 40% alcohol concentration followed by clarification of mixture with milk. Addition of the latter is preceded by adding acetic acid. Milk can be used in dry defatted state or in the form of skimmed milk in amounts sufficient to precipitate undesired substances from vodka. After addition of milk, mixture is settled during a few hours and then clarified liquid is subjected to preliminary filtration, activated carbon treatment and poured into adjustment tank.

Description

 The invention relates to the distillery industry.

 A known method for the production of vodka, providing for the sorting by mixing the corrected water with rectified ethyl alcohol "Lux", introducing into the sorting of succinic acid and sodium bicarbonate, treating with active carbon, adding fructose to the finishing vat, followed by filtering and bottling (RF patent 2143485, C. C 12 G 3/08, 1999).

 Despite the fact that the well-known vodka has antitoxic properties, its disadvantage is not enough high biological activity.

 The addition of pantocrine to vodka is known. (RF patent 2098470, class C 12 G 3/06, 1997).

 However, the known method does not provide vodka with high storage stability.

 To solve the problem of creating highly stable vodkas during storage, as early as the 70s there appeared developments based on milk processing of vodkas and on the basis of this new types of traditionally Russian vodkas are created. So, for example, in the copyright certificate 401713, cl. C 12 G 3/06, 1972 provides for the production of Posolskaya vodka in order to introduce milk into a water-alcohol mixture, and in patent 2135576, cl. C 12 G 3/08 - skim milk is mixed with tartaric acid in the production of another brand of vodka, with the aim of increasing the adsorption surface of coagulated protein flakes and increasing the stability of vodka during storage.

 However, during the storage of Posolskaya vodka, according to its creators, opal in the bottle is still formed and further developments are aimed at improving its technology in order to increase storage stability.

 In subsequent patents 2078136 and 2078137, cl. C 12 G 3/08, 1997, the authors propose introducing acetic acid additionally with skim milk, but not into the water-alcohol liquid, but into the water and use special membrane filters for filtration.

 Closest to the proposed method is the production of vodka, which involves introducing into drinking water acetic acid and skimmed milk powder, previously diluted in warm water, with stirring, preparing an aqueous-alcoholic liquid by mixing the above drinking water with additives with rectified ethyl alcohol "Extra" to 45% strength, settling the mixture, filtering it, cleaning through a coal-cleaning battery, final filtering through a membrane filter and filling. (RF patent 2078137, class C 12 G 3/08, 1997).

 The disadvantages of this method are the following: a) the addition of acetic acid and skim milk to drinking water, and not to sorting, in our opinion, is impractical, since the impurities contained in the sorting are not adsorbed in milk by water; b) when mixing water with alcohol, the temperature of the mixture rises slightly, which complicates the gluing process, since precipitates form more dense and less flocculent; c) known vodka has an increased strength and does not reduce a hangover syndrome; d) vodka is not enriched with a complex of biologically active components.

 The problem solved by the present invention is the production of vodka, which allows to reduce the hangover syndrome, highly stable during storage and having high biological value.

 The technical result is an increase in the biological activity of vodka and its stability during storage, expanding the range of low toxic vodkas.

The problem and the technical result are achieved in a method for the production of vodka, which provides for the preparation of a water-alcohol liquid by mixing drinking water and rectified ethyl alcohol, introducing acetic acid and milk, mixing the mixture, settling, filtering, cleaning the mixture through a coal-cleaning battery, directing the vodka to finishing vat, final filtration and bottling, in that the preparation of the water-alcohol mixture is carried out on the basis of obtaining its strength of 40%, the sorting is carried out tvlyayut administration of acetic acid and milk, and in dovodnoy vat administered succinic acid, and glucose, previously dissolved in drinking water, as well Pantocrinum with the following ratio of ingredients, kg per 1000 dal of finished product:
Succinic acid - 0.09 - 0.15
Glucose - 3.5 - 4.5
Pantocrine - 0.04 - 0.06
as well, l
Acetic acid - 0.1 - 0.3
Water-alcohol liquid - The rest
It is recommended to use drinking water with a hardness of 1.5 to 3.5 mol / m ³ .

 It is advisable to add additional ascorbic acid, previously dissolved in drinking water, in an amount of 0.09 - 0.15 kg per 1000 dal to the litter vat.

 As milk, you can use skimmed milk powder or fresh skim milk with a fat content of up to 1%, and rectified ethyl alcohol "Extra" as rectified ethyl alcohol.

 To increase the biological activity of vodka, it is recommended to introduce additional St. John's wort into a vodka vat.

 The synergistic action of the components and methods of the method is as follows. The combination of succinic acid with glucose is easily absorbed by the body, reducing the hangover syndrome, as it neutralizes the dangerous poison - acetaldehyde, which is formed during the oxidation of alcohol. And in the presence of pantocrine, vodka is enriched with a biologically active complex, but also due to the presence of tannins and tannins in the latter, it performs a new function - a flocculant, positively affecting the aggregation of organic microimpurities remaining in the vodka, causing their enlargement and precipitation, which is removed by final filtration.

 Preliminary treatment with milk in an acidified environment performs one of the main functions - flocculation and clarification (pasting), which together with pantocrine provides stabilization and clarification of vodka, and the introduction of glucose and succinic acid into a clarified environment creates favorable conditions not only for neutralizing harmful substances in vodka, but also for the formation with esters of a pleasant aroma-forming complex, imparting softness to vodka, pleasant taste and aroma without the smell of alcohol, while pantocrine enhances mass transfer in bottom-alcoholic environment all input components.

 Vodka is obtained as follows.

A water-alcohol solution (sorting) is prepared with the expectation of obtaining vodka with a strength of 40% from rectified ethyl alcohol and drinking water with a hardness of 1.5 to 3.5 mol / m ³ .

 The resulting sorting is pumped into a special container, where acetic acid and milk are introduced with continuous stirring. When using skimmed milk powder, it is pre-dissolved in warm water in a ratio of 1: 2.

 After adding milk, the resulting mixture is thoroughly mixed with a stirrer and left to settle for 5-6 hours.

 At the end of the sedimentation, the water-alcohol mixture is filtered on a Progress type filter press.

 The resulting sorting is passed through a coal-cleaning battery with a filtration rate of up to 40 dal / h for fresh coal and up to 30 dal / h for regenerated.

 The resulting vodka is sent to a finishing vat.

 Succinic, ascorbic acid and glucose are dissolved in corrected water and added to the litter tank.

 Pantocrine is introduced into the litter vat, where St. John's wort is also introduced.

 The contents of the finishing vat are mixed, adjusted if necessary and sent to the bottling with mandatory control filtering.
