Optimization Research on Buckwheat Vinegar Fermentation Process

Buckwheat is rich in active substances with hypoglycemic effects. Submerged fermentation, as the method of brewing buckwheat vinegar, not only has the advantages of shortening production cycle, saving materials etc, but also has high functional active substances. In this study, the process of the submerged fermentation of acetic acid fermentation was optimized by the orthogonal experiments of L9 (34), which was also on the basis of single factor experiments. The results indicated that the conversion rate of acetic acid can become 95.8% when the initial alcohol at 6% (v / v), inoculum at 10%, fermentation temperature 30°Cand fermentation time 60 h.
