<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient alcohol fermentation method in saved resources and saved energy, wherein the fermentation ability of an alcohol fermentation microorganism such as yeast is reinforced in a high temperature region at a fermentation temperature of ≥33°C, and to provide an alcohol fermented by the fermentation method. <P>SOLUTION: There is fundamentally provided the alcohol fermentation method comprising adding the ground product of Japanese pepper to an alcohol fermentation raw material and fermenting the alcohol fermentation raw material in a temperature region of 33 to 40°C, characterized by using the pericarp of the Japanese pepper as the Japanese pepper and adding the ground product in an amount of 0.0004 to 0.4% (w/v) dry weight to the alcohol fermentation raw material. Yeast, Zymomonas bacterium, or Zymobacter bacterium is used as the alcohol fermentation microorganism. Furthermore, there is provided the alcohol fermented by one of the methods. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
