Effect of Chinese rice wine sludge on the production of Chinese steamed buns

Abstract

Chinese rice wine sludge (CRWS), analogous to beer yeast sludge, is the filter cake remaining after squeezing the fermentation mash of Chinese rice wine. CRWS contains high levels of protein (44.74%), nonstructural carbohydrates (37.33%), crude fiber (13.5%), and essential amino acids, which could enhance the trophic value of Chinese steamed buns. In our research, the microbiota of CRWS (mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus sp.) was analyzed at the species level by single‐molecule real‐time DNA sequencing technology. Interestingly, the microbiota of CRWS was similar to that of the starter dough typically used to prepare Chinese steamed buns. Incorporation of CRWS significantly influenced the pasting properties and farinograph characteristics of the dough, which control the texture of the Chinese steamed buns, and supplementation with 5∼30% CRWS caused the properties of the resulting buns to be more similar to those of northern‐style steamed buns. CRWS addition also significantly enhanced the content of aroma compounds in the Chinese steamed buns. Practical applications In China, approximately three million tons of CRWS is produced per year, and the reutilization of CRWS is a challenge faced by the Chinese rice wine industry. Meanwhile, Chinese steamed buns prepared with CRWS are becoming increasingly popular, and CRWS has been used in the preparation of homemade Chinese steamed buns. However, the use of CRWS in the industrial production of Chinese steamed buns has not yet been developed. The productive use of CRWS could have substantial economic benefits. In this study, the effect of CRWS incorporation on Chinese steamed buns is reported for the first time. The results showed that CRWS improved the quality of Chinese steamed buns. The results of this study suggest a simple and convenient method for incorporating CRWS into the industrial production of northern‐style Chinese steamed buns.

The occurrence, enzymatic production, and application of ethyl butanoate, an important flavor constituent

“…Marselan wine is made from Marselan variety of grape that is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, where ethyl butanoate is found to be a key aroma compound with a concentration of 400 µg/L 43 . The concentration of ethyl butanoate in some other wines, where it is found as a key aroma compound, is as follows: Cabernet Franc wine 265.8 µg/L, 44 Cherry wine 393.0 µg/L, 45 and Chinese rice wine (Chinese Huangjiu) 424.3 µg/Kg 46,47 . Baijiu 2,48 is another Chinese famous wine containing many kinds of flavor esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, and ethyl octanoate along with ethyl butanoate 49,50 …”

Effect of tea polyphenols on the quality of Chinese steamed bun and the action mechanism

“…Before measuring, CSB samples were all cut into pieces (20 mm in height, 60 mm in diameter), and pre‐test speed, test speed, and post‐test speed were set at 1.0, 2.0, and 2.0 mm/s, respectively. Meanwhile, distance target was 10 mm and trigger was 5 g. Hardness, chewiness, springiness, resilience, and gumminess were determined in three replicates for each sample (Ai‐Lati et al., 2018).…”

A Holistic Review on Euro-Asian Lactic Acid Bacteria Fermented Cereals and Vegetables

“…The Chinese steamed bun also called baozi is a traditionally fermented wheat product originating from China, but it is consumed in many other countries in Asia. The bun has been a staple food for more than 2000 years [121], and is broadly classified into two types. The first needs starter dough for fermentation, just like sourdough, while the second type requires baker's yeast.…”
