As can be seen from the above technological process, the processing methods of Cordyceps militaris soft drinks are divided into two types, namely, preparation type and fermentation type. Formulated beverage is a kind of beverage which directly uses Cordyceps militaris stroma for scientific extraction to obtain extract containing effective components, and then it is diluted, seasoned and colored to stabilize the system. This production method has simple equipment and short production cycle, but nutrients and medicinal components are often lost in the extraction process. Fermented beverage is produced by submerged fermentation in a large fermentor, which has the advantages of rapid, hygienic and industrialized production, but the equipment investment is large.
2. Production technology of alcoholic beverages
Process flow: Cordyceps militaris slant strain → shaking table strain → seed fermenter strain → fermentation product in fermenter → adding sugar solution → steam sterilization → inoculating yeast starter → secondary fermentation → canning → filtration → centrifugation → blending → subpackaging → sterilization → finished product.
