VODKA "ZOLOTAYA" AND METHOD FOR IT PREPARING Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: food and liqueur and vodka industry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of vodkas. Vodka contains ethyl alcohol, water and addition of forged mosaic gold as scales taken in the amount 0.01-0.02 g/l with linear sizes 1.0-3.0 and 0.1-0.3 mm and thickness 0.00008-0.0003 mm in the ratio of scales with greater and lesser sizes (8:1)-(12:1). Method involves preparing an aqueous-alcoholic mixture by mixing purified water with ethyl alcohol, its purification and filtration in finishing tank, correction of strength and addition to vodka of addition as gold followed by bottling. Before bottling part of vodka is removed, separated for two equal volumes and to each of volume gold with thickness 0.00008-0.0003 mm is added followed by ultrasonic treatment at frequency 22-25 kHz and power 0.2 kWt up to preparing gold scales with linear sizes 0.1-0.3 mm in the first volume and 1.0-3.0 mm in the second volume. Then these volumes are mixed in amounts providing the ratio of scales of greater and lesser sizes (8:1)-(12:1) and added to vodka. Invention provides the improvement of consumption properties due to elevation of suspended particle flight time and conferring "sparkling" effect to the end product. EFFECT: improved preparing method, enhanced quality and properties of vodka. 3 cl, 1 tbl, 9 ex
