<p>PURPOSE:To prepare a new-type sake containing >=15% alcohol, by carrying out the alcoholic fermentation using a red yeast having specific characteristics and capable of producing non-carotinoidal and non-pulcherrimin pigment. CONSTITUTION:The objective sake is prepared by the alcoholic fermentation using a red yeast having strong fermenting power and capable of producing a non-carotinoidal and non-pulcherrimin red pigment and having the following four properties. (1) In the cultivation in an MY liquid medium, it gives little clouding in the liquid, proliferates mostly at the bottom, generates carbon dioxide gas and scarcely forms rings and thin films by long-term cultivation: (2) In the cultivation on a YM agar medium, it gives a pink or red colony after 3-4 days at 25-28 deg.C: (3) There is no formation of ascospore and ballistospore: and (4) It ferments glucose, maltose, saccharose and raffinose vigorously and trehalose slowly, and there is no reproducibility in the fermentation of galactose and melibiose.</p> |
