Abstract

Using the wild Pueraria in the west of Hunan Province as raw materials,we studied the gelatinization of Pueraria starch using microwave technique,and then investigated the effects of the amount of α-amylase,glucoamylase,yeast and the fermentation time on alcohol concentration,puerarin concentration and sensory quality of Pueraria wine.Mathematical models tor the process were presented according to a central composite design experiment of Box-Behnken designs.The optimal conditions for preparation of Pueraria wine were:microwave radiation power 600 W,radiation time 5 min,the amount of α-amylase 140.0 u/g,the amount of glucoamylase 160 u/g,the amount of yeast 3.69%,and fermentation time 5.44 d.Alcohol concentration of the Pueraria wine produced was as high as 7.47%.The puerarin concentration 30.45 mg/mL.The Pueraria wine was lightly yellow clear liquid,with rich fragrances of natural wild Pueraria and a cool taste.
