gelatin can be made into bird's nest, white sugar can be made into honey, and thick soup only requires a pot of water and a spoon of " three-flower evaporated milk "... Recently, self-media bloggers Liu Shuang and Xin Jifei have become popular on the Internet, once again pushing food additives to the forefront.
In June this year, the new national standard for liquor was implemented, which clearly stipulated that no additives were allowed to be added to liquor, but in fact, these "alcoholic wines" containing additives are still circulating on a large scale.
Many wine lovers are not clear about the concept of liquor additives. So what additives are there in liquor? Is it really harmful to the body? Which liquors on the market contain additives?
What "white wine" contains additives?
Type 1: New type of liquor "solid-liquid-based liquor, liquid-based liquor"
Before the implementation of the new national standard, the liquor on the market was mainly divided into: solid-based liquor, liquid-based liquor, and solid-based liquor.
Among them, "solid-state liquor" is an authentic pure grain liquor, made of grain and grain as raw materials and brewed using traditional techniques. " liquid liquor " refers to the combination of edible alcohol and food additives seasoning and aroma; "solid-liquid combination liquor" is composed of solid liquor and liquid liquor.
Pure grain wine tastes pure and does not contain additives. However, the liquid method and some solid-liquid method liquor have a bad taste, so it is necessary to add saccharin , edible flavors, spices and other additives to blend the taste.
In addition, mixing aroma substances such as edible alcohol and edible spices (such as ethyl acetate ) can improve the utilization rate of brewing raw materials and increase the production of liquor. Therefore, many "white wine" used this method.
The second type: wine made of various additives
If the winemaking ingredients of a wine are not only conventional water and grain, but also edible alcohol, edible flavors and other additive ingredients, then it is a complete alcohol blending wine.
This is separated from the traditional brewing method, and there is not even a fermentation pool or a brewing workshop. They often buy base wine from some small wineries, then add various additives to blend, and the last packaging is on the market. Not only is the production cost low, the wine quality is also very bad. If you drink this kind of alcohol frequently, you will definitely suffer.
Type 3: Homemade loose wine made in small local workshops.
Small workshop loose wine is a severely affected area for the fraud of liquor. This kind of small winery has a simple environment and is not guaranteed for hygiene. It seems to be cheap and economical, but in fact it is to save trouble and have high profits. It buys loose wine from outside, then blends various edible alcohol, and puts it in a barrel and says it is homemade wine, which may harm your health.
What are the common additives in "white wine"?
So what are the common additive ingredients in these "white wines"? What are the functions of these additives?
1. Bitter removal agent
Bitter removal agent can remove the bitterness in white wine, improve the mellowness and taste of the product, and make the wine comfortable and natural. Almost all flavors of liquor are suitable.
bitter remover is generally divided into two types: acid type and sweet type. The main components of sweet bitter remover should be saccharin sodium , saccharin, etc.
2.Glycerol (commonly known as glycerol )
Glycerol is colorless, odorless, sweet in taste, and has a wide range of uses. A certain amount of glycerin is used in juice, fruit vinegar, various pickled wax products, and dried fruit. The main function of using
glycerin in liquor is to increase the strong and sweet taste of the wine, decompose tannin in the wine, remove bitterness and astringency, and improve the quality and taste of the wine.
3. Corresponding to fragrance flavor
flavors such as flavors are "universal" and include dozens of unthinkable fragrances, including rice flavors, fresh fragrances, sauce flavors, flavors, Wuliang flavors, cellar flavors, sorghum flavors, and dozens of flavors you can't imagine.
is mostly colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid. Combined with various other additives, you can prepare the corresponding fragrance of white wine. There are so many wineries that only see wine coming out but not food going in. I guess they know all kinds of flavors very well.
4. Lipid flavor
contains and is not limited to the main and auxiliary fragrance of various fragrance white wines such as ethyl lactate (colorless, soluble in water, fruity aroma), ethyl acetate (colorless, fruity aroma), ethyl hexanoate (Quxiang pineapple fragrance), ethyl butyrate (sweet fruity aroma such as pineapple bananas).
Various flavors can be mixed in a certain proportion and can be prepared with white wine with corresponding aromas, which is even fuller and richer than those brewed by pure grains.
5. Acid flavors
acidic (removing impurities and enhancing the thick feeling), butyric acid (making liquor have the characteristics of mellow, clean and refreshing), lactic acid (extending the aftertaste of the wine to enhance the thick feeling), formic acid (playing a taste effect on liquor), etc. are mostly colorless, transparent or light yellow oily and syrup liquids with irritating odors, and are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical industry, beer industry, etc.
6. Quick-acting clarification agent
edible grade white wine clarification agent is generally a colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid. It uses natural minerals as raw materials. Through selective adsorption, the palmitic acid, ethyl oleate, isobutanol and other compounds in the white wine are precipitated under a low temperature environment, thereby completely removing the crystalline objects and suspended debris in the white wine, making the turbid wine clear and transparent.
7. Plasticizer
The function of plasticizer in wine is to increase the viscosity and achieve the effect of hanging cups of old wine.
However, plasticizers are strictly prohibited substances in liquor. In 2012, the incident of Jiuguijiu plasticizer exceeding the standard caused a lot of controversy, and Jiuguijiu also lost its reputation due to the incident and its reputation declined seriously. Due to the chain reaction of the incident, various liquors were affected, and the market value of the liquor sector evaporated by nearly 43 billion during the session. At present, no wine company dares to add plasticizers to the wine.
8. Other flavors
Before the implementation of the new national standard, liquor was the hardest hit area for various flavors and flavors.
