ALCOHOL FERMENTATION PROMOTER, ALCOHOL FERMENTATION METHOD AND ALCOHOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alcohol fermentation promoter that improves a fermentation rate, conserves resources and energy and is efficient by enhancing fermentation ability of alcohol fermentation microorganism such as yeast, and to provide an alcohol fermentation method and an alcohol.

SOLUTION: The alcohol fermentation promoter in which volatile components of pericarp or fruit of Japanese pepper are adsorbed on an ion-exchange resin or a gel filter material is obtained by storing pericarp or fruit of Japanese pepper and an ion-exchange resin or a gel filter material in a weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:0.001 in a container and making them in contact with each other for a prescribed time period. The alcohol fermentation method includes addition of the alcohol fermentation promoter in an amount of 0.04-2% (w/v) based on the volume of initial unrefined sake of an alcohol fermentation raw material.
