Abstract

A semi-product of sugarcane shrub,an alcoholic drink,was brewed from sugarcane juice by submerged fermentation using fruit wine yeast at room temperature.The characteristic parameter variations of sugarcane juice in the process of alcohol fermentation were investigated to determine the action mechanism of fruit wine yeast.The results showed that the alcohol fermentation cycle of sugarcane juice with 0.15 to 0.30 g/L fruit wine yeast ranged from 14 to 20 days,the alcohol content was 4.5%,the acidity ranged from 1.8% to 2.4%,and the total sugar content decreased to 0.1%.The fermented juice was delightful,clearer and bright with yellowish-brown color.It exhibited full-bodied vinosity and soft taste.The present study has provided a reference for producing fruit drinks and vinegar drinks by the submerged fermentation of sugarcane juice.
