METHOD FOR PRODUCING VODKA "SEREBRO SIBIRI LUKS" Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C12G3/08 A23L1/30 

FIELD: liqueur and vodka industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves mixing rectified ethyl alcohol "Luks" and purified water to provide the strength 40% in the prepared alcoholic liquid. Natural honey is diluted with softened water in the ratio = 1:5, stirred thoroughly, brought about to boiling, filtered in hot state, cooled and separated for two equal parts. Sodium hydrocarbonate is dissolved in alcoholic liquid in the ratio = 1:10 and separated its for two equal parts. Wheat grains taken in the amount 0.1-0.2 kg is poured with an aqueous-alcoholic liquid with the strength 50% in the ratio = 1:10, infused for 10 days and infusion is poured off. Residue is poured again with an aqueous-alcoholic liquid with the strength 44% in the amount equal with poured off infusion volume, infused for 5 days, infusion is poured off and both infusions are combined. Then infusion is filtered and separated for two equal parts. Honey, sodium hydrocarbonate and infusion taken in equal parts are added to alcoholic liquid, stirred its thoroughly and treated with activated carbon by its passing through carbon cleansing battery at the filtration rate up to 40 dal/h for fresh carbon and 30 dal/h for regenerated carbon followed by feeding vodka into finishing tank. Remaining parts of honey, sodium hydrocarbonate and infusion are added to finishing tank with vodka wherein the carbohydrate modulus ameliorant "Yantalak GF" dissolved preliminary in an aqueous-alcoholic liquid is added also. After addition of components vodka is stirred thoroughly and its strength is controlled. Ready vodka is fed for bottling with obligatory control filtration. Method involves the following consumption of components per 1000 dal of vodka: natural honey, 10.0-11.0 kg; sodium hydrocarbonate, 0.3-0.5 kg; carbohydrate modulus ameliorant "Yantalak GF", 0.3-0.5 kg; wheat infusion, 2.0-4.0 l, and aqueous-alcoholic liquid, the balance. Proposed method provides enhancing the content of biologically active substances by 1.5% due to using wheat infusion wherein proteins, sugars, lipids, vitamins - tocopherols, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, pantothenic acid, mineral substances and organic acids are extracted from grains. This allows by using carbohydrate modulus "Yantalak GF" to reduce vodka toxicity by 40%. Also, addition of infusion for two stages allows activation of honey effect at early stage that promotes to more intensive reducing vodka toxicity also.

EFFECT: improved producing method, improved and valuable properties of vodka.
