[ Method] The saccharification process of citrus vinegar was investigated preliminarily with fruit-grain mixed fermentation method using liquor starters as saccharif- erous agents. [Result] The results indicated that the optimal glutinous rice saccharification conditions were as follows: fruit-grain ratio 3: 1, Aspergillus niger- Monascus purpureus ratio 3: 1, saccharifieafion temperature 60℃, and saccharification time 2.5 h. Under the optimized saccharification conditions, reducing sugar content in saceharified glutinous rice reached 146.43 mg/ml; after fermentation, alcohol content in fermentation broth was 6%, amino nitrogen content was 0.44 mg/ml, and acid yield was 3.1 g/L. [ Conclusion] Citrus vinegar brewed based on the optimized technological conditions exhibited better sensory and physico-chemical properties than that brewed with pure juice.展开更多
