Description

State of the art

Special vodkas differ from ordinary Russian vodkas in their original tastes and specific flavors created by adding aromatic components to them, such as aromatic alcohols, infusions, and essential oils.

Special vodkas are widely known for the preparation of which they use pine nuts - a valuable food product containing a complex set of natural chemical elements and minerals that increases the value and quality of vodka. So, for example, special “Baikal” vodka is known, the composition of which includes hydroalcoholic liquid and aromatic alcohol of pine nut in the amount of 28-31 l per 1000 decaliters of finished vodka (see patent for invention No. 2243256, IPC: C12G 3/06, publ. 2004.12.27). However, the taste and aromatic characteristics of the mentioned vodka can be more likely attributed to “nutty, creamy” than to “cedar, coniferous”.

Special vodkas are known, characterized by “coniferous” aromas. So, vodka “Severnaya” is known, containing aromatic alcohol of needles and branches of larch, sugar syrup and water-alcohol liquid (RF patent No. 2034919) and vodka “Siberia” containing aromatic alcohols made from branches and bark of larch and pine needles (patent No. 2034920), (see the book. Karagodin G.M. Book on Vodka and Winemaking. Chelyabinsk. Ural LTD, 2000, p. 280). However, for the preparation of the mentioned vodkas, only vegetable, “lean” raw materials were used, not differing in the richness of useful components, which is characterized by pine nuts.

The closest, by the presence of essential features to the claimed invention adopted special vodka containing infusion of pine nuts, oil, a sweetening ingredient and water-alcohol liquid (RF patent No. 2165965, IPC: C12G 3/06, publ. 2001.04.27). Vodka is characterized by high organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value. The disadvantages of this solution include the use of such an expensive product as honey, as well as the inability to obtain a coniferous resinous aroma, despite the content of “cedar” products.

Disclosure of invention

The task of the invention is to expand the assortment of special vodkas with high organoleptic characteristics, which have an original resinous "coniferous" aroma based on cedar notes.

The problem is solved in that special vodka containing pine nuts infusion, oil, a sweetening ingredient and a water-alcohol liquid, according to the claimed invention, it contains fir oil as oil, sugar syrup as a sweetening ingredient, and pine nuts infusion, prepared only on cedar kernels, while it additionally contains a water-alcohol infusion of cedar gum, with the following content of components l, per 1000 gave the finished product:

infusion of cedar kernels 3.8-4.2 cedar resin infusion 4.6-5.0 fir oil 0.018-0.022 sugar syrup 65.8% 9.1-9.3 water-alcohol liquid rest

The technical result of the claimed invention was the creation of a special vodka, characterized by a specific resinous "cedar" aroma and a soft aftertaste, and at the same time characterized by high quality indicators.

Distinctive features of the proposed solution are the use of infusion of cedar resin (resin), fir oil and infusion prepared on peeled pine nuts - kernels.

Siberian cedar resin is called “resin” for its ability to heal wounds, for possessing a strong bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, absorbent and balsamic effect. In the claimed solution, this unique vital product of cedar is used as an infusion. In the process of infusion, a significant amount of nutrients is extracted from the resin into the infusion, endowing it with the mentioned properties. However, the infusion of cedar resin is a dark saturated brown color. Therefore, to obtain a drink such as vodka, this infusion can be used only in small, small quantities, because Vodka, including special vodka, according to GOST R 51355-99, is a "clear, colorless liquid without impurities and sediment."

A lot is known about the biological value of pine nuts, which led to their widespread use, including for the preparation of special vodkas. So, the use of the whole pine nut infusion takes place in the patent No. 2171282, and in the decision on the patent No. 20186891, the infusion prepared on the waste products of cedar oil, which is a mixture of 20% of the kernels and the rest, is used.

In contrast to the known solutions mentioned, where the infusions are prepared on a mixture of kernels and shells, in the claimed solution, the infusion is prepared only on the kernels of pine nuts (peeled pine nuts). This infusion has all the beneficial substances extracted into the liquid from nuts during the infusion process, but it does not have a saturated dark color. The use of the infusion on the kernels of pine nuts allowed, firstly, to significantly increase the biological and nutritional value of the drink, because this infusion has no restrictions on use and can be added to the drink in large quantities. Secondly, the use of the mentioned infusion significantly increased the percentage of cedar resin added to the drink.

Adding fir oil to the composition makes it possible to enhance and enrich the coniferous aromatic and flavoring shades of the drink, given to it by gum infusion, to obtain a new original aroma rich in various coniferous tones.

Thus, the combination of the starting ingredients of the claimed composition in the indicated ratios allows to obtain a new saturated resinous aroma of the product, to increase its biological and nutritional value, due to the high percentage of useful additives in the final product, and at the same time to ensure the transparency of the resulting product, which is a necessary condition for such a drink as vodka.

If the amount of added ingredients is less than the specified limits, then the drink will not have a rich aroma and taste characteristics. If the specified quantitative proportions of the ingredients are exceeded, a yellow tint, bitterness, turbidity appears in the finished product, as a result of which the drink ceases to meet the requirements of GOST and becomes already a bitter tincture (see the examples below).

All the ingredients of the claimed vodka composition, each of which is characterized as a valuable biologically active substance, are harmoniously combined with each other, complementing and enhancing the effect obtained from the use of other components. This combination of ingredients provides not only an original aroma rich in various coniferous shades, but also high quality indicators of the finished product. The following examples confirm the high quality of the resulting product, its low toxicity due to the low content of impurities.

The implementation of the invention

The preparation of special vodka on cedar resin is carried out according to traditional technology and meets the requirements of GOST R51355-99 “Special vodkas and vodkas. General technical conditions ”and PTR 10-12292-99“ Production technological regulations for the production of vodka and alcoholic beverages ”, approved by the Food and Food Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia on 10.21.99. Typical equipment used in the alcoholic beverage industry is used in the production of vodka.

For the preparation of special vodka according to the claimed invention used the following raw materials:

- rectified ethyl alcohol from food raw materials "Lux" according to GOST R51652-2000,

- drinking water according to GOST R51232-98 and SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 with a hardness of up to 0.2 mol / m ³ for corrected water,

- refined granulated sugar in accordance with GOST 22-94,

- cedar kernels according to the manufacturer's nomenclature documentation (ND),

- cedar gum according to the manufacturer's documentation,

- fir oil according to the manufacturer's documentation,

- activated carbon from coconut shells of the KAU-V brand according to TU 6-00209591-458-97 and other brands (VSK, BAU-A) approved by the institutions of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare in the alcoholic beverage industry.

Infusions based on the kernel of pine nuts and pine gum are prepared in the production of vodka. The preferred (optimal) consumption of raw materials, kg per 1000 gave vodka is:

refined granulated sugar 8.0

pine nut kernels 0.5

cedar gum 0.3

fir oil 0.02

The process of preparing vodka is as follows.

The rectified ethyl alcohol “Lux” is mixed with the corrected drinking water at the rate of obtaining a fortress of 40%. The resulting water-alcohol solution (sorting) is cooled and then treated with activated carbon.

Prepare sugar syrup with a concentration of 65.8% by a known method.

Prepare an infusion of cedar kernels. Why 0.5 kg of raw materials - cores, pour 5 liters of water-alcohol solution with a strength of 50% and insist for 5 days. The finished infusion is carefully filtered. The yield of the finished infusion of cedar kernels is 4.0 liters, with a strength of about 48%.

An infusion of cedar resin is prepared. For this, 0.3 kg of raw material (gum) is poured with 6 liters of an aqueous-alcoholic solution with a strength of 50% and insisted ≈1 hour. Such a brewing time is enough to get a rich aromatic infusion. The finished infusion is carefully filtered. The yield of the finished extract of cedar resin is 4.8 liters, with a strength of about 48%.

A blend is prepared, according to the recipe used, from a water-alcohol solution, sugar syrup and infusions of cedar nuts and pine gum, to which fir oil is added, previously dissolved in a small amount of water-alcohol liquid. All components are thoroughly mixed. The optimal composition of the blend is shown in table 1, example 2.

Check the strength of the finished blend, carry out its adjustment and control filtering.

Table 1 Components Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Sugar syrup 65.8%, l 9.2 9.2 9.2 Infusion of cedar kernels, l 3.8 4.0 4.2 Infusion of cedar resin, l 4.6 4.8 5.1 Fir oil, ml 16 twenty 24 Rectified ethyl alcohol “Lux” and corrected drinking water, l Rest, calculated on the strength of the blend 40% Organoleptic properties: Transparent Transparent without impurities and sediment A subtle yellowish tint - appearance, - taste Soft Soft Soft - aroma Subtle gummy shade A specific pleasant resinous aroma subtle bitterness

The data given in table 1 allow us to conclude that when introducing into the blend an infusion of cedar kernels, an extract of cedar resin and fir oil in amounts, respectively: 3.8-4.2 l, 4.6-5.0 l, 18-22 ml, per 1000 gave ready vodka, the appearance of vodka has a pleasant resinous “taiga, coniferous” aroma and a soft pleasant aftertaste. At the same time, vodka fully complies with established standards, namely, a pouring strength of 40% and transparency. Infusion of cedar resin has a dark rich shade. An infusion of cedar kernels, in contrast to an infusion of unpeeled nuts or shells, has a light, almost transparent shade. Adding infusions to the blend in the indicated amounts ensures the transparency of the finished product.

As can be seen from example 1, the use of components of the composition in smaller quantities is impractical, because the aroma is weak or not at all.

The use of components of the composition in large quantities, as can be seen from example 3, leads to the appearance of bitterness in the taste and dark color shade of the drink. With a loss of transparency, the drink becomes a bitter tincture.

Table 2 shows the data of physico-chemical indicators obtained in the study of samples of the claimed vodka.

For comparison, in application No. 2002127922, a flavoring additive in the form of resin of coniferous trees is used, however, the physicochemical parameters indicated in the materials of this application are significantly worse than those obtained in the claimed solution, from which we can conclude: the components of the vodka composition work together, complementing each other friend, which allows to achieve higher quality indicators of the finished product. Physico-chemical characteristics of the claimed vodka can be attributed to its low toxicity vodka.
