Introduction to Sweet Wine Sweet wine, also known as rice wine, glutinous rice wine, fermented grains, fermented sweet wine, is a kind of food with rice as the main raw material fermented by steamed glutinous rice mixed with sweet wine koji (mainly Rhizopus). Because of its unique taste, sweet taste and low alcohol content, it is deeply loved by people.

Sweet wine is easily digested and absorbed by human body. The main raw material for making sweet wine is glutinous rice, which is made into sweet wine through elutriation, cooking, cooling, koji mixing and fermentation.

Glutinous rice contains about 80% starch, about 6.5%~8% protein, about 10%~ 15% moisture, and also contains fat, various minerals, vitamins and other nutrients. When brewing liqueur, starch and protein were hydrolyzed by the fermentation of liqueur koji.

The koji used to brew liqueur is mainly Rhizopus and a small amount of yeast. Rhizopus can produce a large number of glucoamylase and protease.

Glucoamylase can convert starch in glutinous rice into glucose, fructose, maltose and so on. Proteases convert protein into peptides or amino acids. Yeast fermentation produces carbon dioxide and ethanol. Glucose, fructose, maltose, ethanol, amino acids and other ingredients make sweet wine unique and sweet, and contain a small amount of alcohol.

Because starch and protein in glutinous rice are fermented into glucose, fructose, maltose, ethanol, peptides and amino acids, sweet wine is easily digested and absorbed by human body.

Special instructions:

People with high blood sugar and diabetes are not suitable for drinking liqueur.

The nutritional components in liqueur are ≤70% water, about 2.6% protein, about 0.2% fat, about 22.9% carbohydrate and about 0.5% dietary fiber. At the same time, sweet wine also contains a small amount of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, iron, copper, manganese, selenium and various vitamins.

100 g of sweet wine has a calorie of 100 kcal, the alcohol content of sweet wine is less than 6%, and the calorie of 1 g of alcohol is about 7 kcal.

Therefore, sweet wine mainly supplements water for human body, followed by carbohydrates (sugar and alcohol), protein (polypeptide or amino acid), a small amount of fat, various minerals and vitamins.

Because liqueur contains alcohol, eating too much at a time is not good for your health.

It is concluded that sweet wine is unique in taste, sweet in taste and contains a small amount of alcohol (the alcohol content is less than 6%). Moderate consumption of sweet wine can make people feel refreshed and happy.

Because the starch and protein in glutinous rice have been transformed into glucose, fructose, maltose, ethanol, peptides or amino acids through the fermentation of sweet wine koji, sweet wine is easily digested and absorbed by human body.

Sweet wine mainly supplements water for the body, followed by carbohydrates (sugar and a small amount of alcohol are converted into heat), protein (polypeptide or amino acid), a small amount of fat (converted into heat), various minerals and vitamins.
