According to the study of terpenes in Dongjiu, the scientific understanding of bioactive components in China liquor and the health preserving methods of Dongjiu, the following ten health preserving methods of Dongjiu were summarized from a scientific perspective.
1. Microorganisms beneficial to human health in Dongjiu
Dongjiu has been made of artificial stone trough. Although this artificial method is slow, it will not produce high temperature, which is very beneficial to the preservation of microorganisms in koji. Li, deputy chief engineer of the old Dongjiu, said that the fermentation pool of Dongjiu is an alkali cellar made of local lime, white mud and carambola juice. It is the seemingly insignificant flora and microorganisms in pit mud that play a key role in the formation of Dongxiang style and quality, making Dongjiu have magical health care effects.
2. Trace elements beneficial to human health in Dongjiu
Trace elements such as K (potassium), Na (sodium), Ca (calcium), Mg (magnesium), Zn (zinc), Fe (iron), Cr (chromium) and Mn (manganese) in Dongjiu come from the pottery jars of brewing water and wine storage containers. Trace elements combine with protein/organic genes to form biological macromolecules such as enzymes, hormones and vitamins, which play an important physiological and biochemical role.
3. There are 52 kinds of terpenoids in Dongjiu which are beneficial to human health.
Terpene efficacy: 1. Antibacterial activity II. Antiviral activity 3. Antioxidant activity 4. Analgesic activity 5. Digestive activity 6. Anticancer activity.
There are many kinds of terpenoids, and they also have many biological activities: two-way regulation of blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure; Insecticidal, bactericidal, blood circulation promoting, blood stasis removing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, detumescence and anti-tumor; Local anesthesia and itching relief; Antipyretic, expectorant and antitussive; Enhance immunity; It smells pleasant.
4. Pyrazine compounds beneficial to human health in Dongjiu.
The terpenes and pyrazines in traditional pure grain solid-state fermented liquor are much higher than those in liquor, which is attributed to the technology of natural accumulation of multiple strains, multi-dimensional microbial solid-state fermentation and high-temperature distillation in traditional Chinese liquor. Foreign studies show that? Pyrazine compounds have the function of preventing cardiovascular diseases. Pyrazine compounds are the unique flavor components of traditional solid-state fermented liquor, which not only give Dongjiu rich aroma and unique flavor characteristics, but also prevent many diseases.
5. Phenolic substances beneficial to human health in Dongjiu.
Dongjiu contains 8 kinds of phenols which are beneficial to human health. These phenols are excellent free radical scavengers? It has antioxidant, scavenging active oxygen free radicals, anti-tumor, blocking carcinogen formation, inhibiting metabolic transformation in vivo, improving immunity, and resisting bacteria and viruses. It is recognized by the medical community that dry red wine can prevent cardiovascular diseases on the basis that it contains a lot of phenols. Because of the existence of these phenolic compounds in Dongjiu, it not only makes the wine fragrant and elegant, but also endows it with the function of scavenging free radicals, which can resist aging and prevent many diseases, thus being more conducive to improving human health.
6. Acids in Dongjiu that are beneficial to human health.
Organic acids in Dongjiu can promote the secretion and digestion of gastric juice. Trace element chromium can activate insulin and reduce blood sugar and cholesterol. Endocrine experiments show that after drinking alcohol for 60 minutes, insulin in the body increases obviously. Insulin is a digestive hormone secreted by pancreas, which is very beneficial to human health. For middle-aged and elderly people with decreased digestive function, moderate drinking can promote the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, and at the same time, pancreatic enzymes can stimulate the digestive enzyme system of the human body and promote the secretion of various digestive juices in the body, thus enhancing the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract.
7. Esters in Dongjiu that are beneficial to human health.
Esters are aromatic compounds, which play an active and important role in forming the flavor characteristics of various aromatic liquors. Dongjiu mainly contains ethyl acetate (the main flavor component, which has the functions of reducing lung fire and stabilizing heart and lung), ethyl acetate (which can mobilize body fluids through the kidney, remove substances with side effects in wine and accelerate human metabolism) and ethyl lactate (which has the functions of diminishing inflammation and dilating blood vessels).
8. Polyols beneficial to human health in Dongjiu.
Dongjiu contains cyclohexanol, glycerol and sorbitol which are beneficial to human health. These polyols not only give wine a healthy factor, but also give Dongjiu a soft and sweet aftertaste.
9. Dongjiu contains a small amount of volatile substances, which is less irritating to human body.
When Dongjiu is distilled, the temperature of liquor collection is as high as 40 degrees, which is nearly twice as high as that of other liquors. Volatile substances volatilize naturally at high temperature. Maotai-flavor liquor should be stored for more than three years, and the storage loss is as high as 2%. Obviously, a large part of volatile substances have been volatilized, so few volatile substances have been preserved in liquor. Nature is less irritating to human body and beneficial to health.
10. Dongjiu has the most active ingredients in the world, reaching nearly 1500 kinds.
These bioactive components of liquor can reduce alcohol damage, enhance human defense function, regulate physiological rhythm, prevent diseases and promote rehabilitation.
Inheritance is the root, wine quality is the soul, and Dong Dao is the foundation, benefit and benevolence.
59 degrees is the classic degree of Dongjiu at the peak of its award. Theoretically, the higher the degree, the higher the proportion of puree liquor, the higher the proportion and the higher the beneficial content, so 59 degrees is the king degree in Dongjiu series products. Why choose 59 Dongjiu? After long-term scrutiny by Dongjiu people, it is found that the maximum value of 59-degree Dongjiu and the health care effect of white grass can fully reflect Dongxiang flavor.
The essence of the world has inherited the charm of the years. Dongjiu inherits the living fossil of China liquor's all-manual ancient brewing technology, the technology of putting hundreds of medicinal materials into koji and the persistence of liquor production for five years, thus creating the high-end quality of Dongjiu. Today, Dongjiu still practices the promise of Dongjiu people to consumers with practical actions: insist on solid-state fermentation of pure grain, and ensure the unique and excellent quality of Dongjiu even if it slows down.
