Description

 The invention relates to the food industry, and more specifically to alcoholic beverages, and can be used in the production of vodka.

Carbonated drinks are known containing gold particles as a food additive. [1]
The disadvantage of these drinks is their low consumer quality, since when the container with such a drink is uncorked, the dissolved gas almost instantly “boils” on the precious metal particles and the latter completely leave the container at the very beginning of the spill.

 The closest in technical essence and the achieved effect to the claimed object is vodka containing gold particles as a food additive [2].

 The disadvantage of this vodka is its low consumer quality due to the rapid settling of suspended gold particles.

 The technical result achieved in the invention is to improve the consumer properties of the target product by increasing the duration of the soaring of suspended particles of the food additive and giving the target product the effect of "sparkle".

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the aqueous-alcoholic solution as a food additive contains forged gold leaf plates with a thickness of 0.0001-0.0005 mm with linear dimensions of 1.0 • 2.0-1.5 • 1.5 mm with an area of 2.0 mm ² and linear dimensions 3.0 • 8.0-5.0 • 5.0 mm with an area of up to 25 mm ² in an amount of 0.01 - 0.02 g / l, while the plates have different settling rates, and the number of weighted plates in a row from smaller to larger corresponds to the Gaussian distribution curve.

 A method of producing vodka includes preparing sorting by mixing corrected water with ethyl alcohol, purifying and filtering the vodka, keeping it in a fine vat and adjusting the strength, followed by control filtration and filling in the tank, while plates of forged gold leaf of the calculated mass are placed in the tank before bottling, pouring and then crushed the gold by stirring with a paddle mixer for 10-30 s or ultrasound for 2-5 s, followed by capping.

 The technical task was to create a composition "water-alcohol solution - a suspension of gold plates", which has two consumer qualities: the effect of "sparkling" and the effect of "presence of precious metal", i.e. Visually distinct soaring gold records.

 In addition, the task was also to determine the boundary geometric parameters of the gold plates, ensuring the preservation of the above effects in such a period of time that usually takes place on average, or between two mixes of the contents (in this case, a silver-containing drink), the process of the next “pouring” or during a long toast. On average, the indicated period of time is 8-10 minutes, and this is a guideline for maintaining the effect of sparkling, and for the effect of the presence of precious metal, this period of time is 3-5 minutes.

 In the claimed technical solution, the size and shape of the suspended particles of the precious metal are crucial to achieve improved consumer characteristics. In order to maintain a sparking effect that is stable for 8-10 minutes, the dimensions of the precious metal plates should be in the range of at least 1.0 • 1.0 mm. Large linear dimensions for obvious reasons are deposited faster. Plates with linear dimensions less than 1.0 mm impart turbidity to the solution. In addition, since a substantial part of the light reflected by the plates is scattered, with a decrease in the linear dimensions of the plates, the brightness of the "bunnies" of reflected light weakens and, accordingly, the effect of "sparkling" practically disappears. As for the thickness of the gold plates, it should be noted that the duration of soaring of the latter in the fluid is determined to a greater extent by the ratio "surface area / thickness" rather than the overall dimensions. It should also be noted that when the surface area / thickness ratio is> 100, the plates have a new aerodynamic quality - they soar in solution, and the higher the ratio, the higher the aerodynamic quality of the plates. In the claimed technical solution, the thickness of the plates varies between 0.0001-0.0005 mm (the ratio "surface area / thickness" in this case for plates of smaller and larger sizes is 100-300 and 1000-4000, respectively), since it is such a thickness at the claimed geometric parameters of the plates provides a long soaring in solution and at the same time, the specified thickness is technologically achievable. Today, such a level of thickness can be provided only by the technology of gold leaf production.

 As for the content of gold plates in the water-alcohol mixture and the quantitative ratio of plates with sizes from 1.0 • 1.0 mm to 5.0 • 5.0 mm, to create the effect of the presence or presence of gold, it is necessary, given the settling of the plates, to maintain a concentration of at least 1 plate with dimensions greater than 1.0 • 1.0 mm in 1 ml of solution. To create and maintain the effect of "sparkling" it is necessary to have a concentration of plates with sizes in the range of 1.0 • 1.0 mm, at least 5-10 pieces per 1 ml of solution. Calculations show that the total content of gold plates by weight in this case will be 0.01-0.012 g. Naturally, note that the sizes of the plates cannot be the same, and therefore both the number of plates and their mass will vary within certain limits . The authors therefore declare the total mass of the plates in an aqueous-alcoholic solution from 0.01 to 0.02 g / l, and the number of suspended plates in a row from smaller to larger corresponds to the Gaussian distribution curve.

 The task of introducing a food additive in the form of plates with the claimed dimensions in a water-alcohol solution meets the inventive step and is realized in an unexpected way: by grinding sheet gold leaf in vodka spilled in a container (bottle). For this purpose, plates of forged gold leaf of the calculated mass are placed in the tank before bottling, bottling is carried out, and then gold is crushed by stirring with a paddle mixer for 10-30 s or ultrasound for 2-5 s, followed by capping. The tensile strength of the forged gold leaf plate is so insignificant that for grinding it, short-term intensive mechanical mixing of the liquid-gold leaf plate system is sufficient.

 The claimed technical solution can be implemented as follows.

 Drinking water is corrected by filtration through activated carbon impregnated with silver, and then sorting is obtained by mixing water with rectified ethyl alcohol "Lux". Then, the vodka obtained in this way is purified and filtered by sequential passing through quartz sand, activated carbon and quartz sand. Next, the vodka is sent to a finishing vat, targeted additives are introduced, its strength is adjusted and it is aged. Then carry out control filtration and poured into containers (bottles). Before bottling, plates of forged gold leaf of the calculated mass are placed in the tank, bottling is carried out, and then gold is crushed by stirring with a paddle mixer for 10-30 s or ultrasound for 2-5 s, followed by capping. As ethyl alcohol, rectified ethyl alcohol of the highest purification "Lux" according to GOST 5962-67 is used.

 The corrected drinking water is used as water.

 Forged gold leaf forged is used.

 For a better understanding, the invention can be illustrated, but not exhausted by the following examples of its specific implementation.

 Example 1

Drinking water is filtered by passing through activated carbon impregnated with silver, and then filtered water is mixed with rectified ethyl alcohol of the highest purification Lux according to GOST 5962-67. Thus purified water is sent to the preparation of sorting. 5.86 dal of water and 4.14 dal of rectified ethyl alcohol "Lux" are mixed in a lapping tank. Next, the vodka is purified and filtered, passing it through quartz sand, carbon battery and quartz sand, incubated for 2 hours and after mixing, determine the strength of vodka (39.92%). The fortress is adjusted as follows: 1.0 decalitre of vodka is taken, 20 ml of alcohol is introduced into it with stirring, and the resulting solution is introduced into vodka with stirring in a lapping vat. The mixture is kept for 1 hour, after which control filtration is carried out and poured. Before bottling, forged gold leaf weighing 0.012 g are placed in a container (0.7 L bottle). After pouring, a paddle mixer is immersed in a container and the liquid is mixed with the gold leaf plate in it for 15 seconds. In this case, gold leaf is crushed, and then the containers are corked. Thus obtained target product contains 0.0171 g / l of gold in the form of plates with sizes from 1.0 • 1.0 to 5.0 • 5.0 mm. After shaking the contents of the bottle (solution temperature 15 ^o C) large plates completely settled in 5 minutes; smaller plates soared and created a sparkling effect for 9 minutes.

 Example 2

The claimed technical solution was carried out as in example 1, except that a waveguide was immersed in a filled container (0.7 L bottle) with a wrought gold leaf plate placed in it and subjected to ultrasonic treatment (UZDN-2T generator, ultrasonic vibration frequency 22 kHz , output power 200 W, oscillation amplitude 12-15 μm) for 3 s. In this case, gold leaf is crushed and then the container is sealed. Thus obtained target product contains 0.0171 g / l of gold in the form of plates with sizes from 1.0 • 1.0 to 5.0 • 5.0 mm. After shaking the contents of the bottle (solution temperature 15 ^o C) large plates completely settled in 5 minutes; smaller plates soared and created a sparkling effect for 8 minutes.

 Examples 3 to 9

 The claimed technical solution was carried out as in example 1, except that the ratio of components and methods of grinding plates of food additives were changed. The results are shown in the table.

 As can be seen from the description and examples, the claimed technical solution improves the consumer properties of the target product by increasing the duration of the suspended particles and giving the target product the effect of "sparkle".
