When using rice wine to make dough, we mix rice wine and water to stir the dough, and then ferment the dough, just like using yeast powder.
Yellow rice wine has a long history of brewing and drinking in China, and its production is mainly divided into saccharification and alcoholization.
First, saccharification process:
The saccharification process is mainly the process of decomposing starch into glucose, in which Rhizopus plays a major role.
At first, it was the work of Rhizopus, which produced a lot of amylase after mass reproduction, and then decomposed the starch in glutinous rice into glucose.
Second, the alcoholization process:
The process of alcoholization is mainly to decompose glucose into ethanol and water, and yeast plays a major role in this process.
Yeast will decompose the produced glucose into alcohol and water to complete the whole alcoholization process.
It should be noted that in order to brew excellent rice wine, the ratio of the two is very important, because too much Rhizopus will interfere with the alcoholization process of rice wine.
