During the fermentation process, temperature is one of the key parameters which decide the quality of Chinese rice wine. To optimize the SSF process for Chinese rice wine brewing, the effects of temperature on the kinetic parameters of yeast growth and ethanol production at various temperatures were determined in batch cultures using a mathematical model. The kinetic parameters as a function of temperature were evaluated using the software Origin8.0. Combing these functions with the mathematical model, an appropriate form of the model equations for the SSF considering the effects of temperature were developed. The kinetic parameters were found to fit the experimental data satisfactorily with the developed temperature-dependent model. The temperature profile for maximizing the ethanol production for rice wine fermentation was determined by genetic algorithm. The optimum temperature profile began at a low temperature of 26℃ up to 30 h. The operating temperature increased rapidly to 31.9 ℃, and then decreased slowly to 18℃ at 65 h. Thereafter, the temperature was maintained at 18 ℃ until the end of fermentation. A maximum ethanol production of 89.3 g.L 1 was attained. Conceivably, our model would facilitate the improvement of Chinese rice wine production at the industrial scale.展开更多

Post-germination treatment, the viscoelasticity of the rice pulp decreased, also the hardness of FBRC steadily decreased. The 24 h germination time FBRC is considered to have the best quality including the smallest pore average area on the sliced surface and highest sensory score. In addition, the germination treatment also positively impacted the flavor of FBRC. Compared with the non-germination, the germinated groups had higher contents of alcohols, ketones, and heterocyclic compounds. The flavor volatile compounds could be generated via the amino acid metabolism and lipid oxidation pathways. A close correlation was found between the free amino acids, the free fatty acids and the main flavor volatile compounds. Principal component analysis indicated that the germination treatment improved the yeast flavor of brown rice cake;a short germination time was found best to provide a richer flavor. Overall, this study proved that moderate germination treatment effectively could improve the whole quality of FBRC.展开更多
