Xintian promotes the new process of methanol steaming
The Xintian County Science and Technology Bureau and the County Association for Science and Technology organized and promoted the new method of “sweet potato fire wine†to Tangjia Village in Shantou Town, which was well received by the masses. Xintian promotes the new process of methanol steaming In order to reduce the content of methanol in fire wine, the county science and technology department asked experts to study and trial and error, through careful selection of materials, cut off the "head pot water" (in the distillation process, will start to produce a kilogram of fire wine (commonly known as “Heart pot water†is intercepted. When the second pot is burned, the cut-off part is poured into the sputum, and so on, the one-kilogram “head pot water†that was intercepted in the last pot is removed, which effectively reduces the methanol in the last wine. The content.
"Sweet potato fire wine", also known as shochu, is a wine produced by fermenting and distilling with sweet potato and glutinous rice. It is the favorite wine of Xintian people and is called "Xintian Maotai" by the outside world. The main ingredients of liqueur are ethanol (alcohol) and water. Fire wine has a high calorie, and each kilogram of alcohol can produce 7 calories, which is equivalent to the calorie supply of fat, which is significantly higher than the heat production of sugar and protein. Acetic acid, lactic acid and other substances in the fire wine are necessary for human health. However, if the firing process is not appropriate, a small amount of substances harmful to the human body such as methanol may be generated.
Experts believe that the “sweet potato fire wine†cooked by the new process is more delicious and safer. People drink alcohol to methanol, enjoying the beauty of the wine and protecting the body.
