No space left at the mouth of the bottle

Or seal with breathable gauze

“Fermentation mainly relies on microorganisms such as yeast.

Yeast during fermentation

Whether it is the growth or rapid reproduction stage

Or enter the anaerobic fermentation stage

will be accompanied by the production of carbon dioxide.”

College of Food Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University

Professor Li Wei introduced

“The carbon dioxide cannot be released in time after it is produced.

For example, by releasing the air

This will cause excessive local pressure in the fermentation container.

There will be an explosion.”

besides

There is still a lot of room for homemade wine

Food safety risks

Industrial production of wine

It is a special fermentation agent

This ferment has been tested numerous times.

Very safe and reliable

Usually no toxic or harmful substances are produced

But the fruits and other ingredients used in homemade wine

Self-carrying strains

In the natural fermentation process

Various uncontrollable substances will be produced

“These wild strains are

It may produce substances that are harmful to us

For example, some wild yeast

During the fermentation process, alcohol is produced

It also produces formaldehyde and other substances that are harmful to the human body.

If this fermentation strain produces more substances

Content of harmful substances such as formaldehyde

It increases in fermented products.

Excessive consumption of these foods can cause harm to people.”

Professor Li Wei explains

To reduce the food safety risks of drinking homemade wine

Food safety risk warning for homemade medicinal liquor

In recent years, food safety incidents caused by drinking homemade medicinal liquor have frequently appeared in the news, and there have been new incidents recently. In order to reduce the food safety risks of drinking homemade medicinal liquor, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center reminds the public not to prepare or drink homemade medicinal liquor, and not to buy or drink unlabeled or unclearly labeled medicinal liquor.

Do not drink medicinal liquor or other foods prepared by yourself using medicinal materials that contain the following toxic side effects:

Do not drink medicinal liquor or other foods prepared by yourself using medicinal materials that contain the following toxic side effects:

1. Aconitine drugs (such as Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, Radix Aconiti Lateralis ... Artemisia selengensis, and Radix Aconiti Lateralis, etc.)

This type of drug is highly toxic. Oral intake of 0.2 mg of pure aconitine can cause poisoning in adults, and 3 to 5 mg can be fatal. Ordinary processing methods such as stewing and soaking are difficult to destroy its toxicity. Soaking or taking this type of drug with wine can enhance its toxicity.

2. Nux vomica

This drug is highly toxic. Overdose or long-term use may affect your health and may even lead to poisoning, convulsions, breathing difficulties, or even coma.

3. Chinese herbal medicines containing insects (scorpions, centipedes, leeches, etc.)

These types of medicines contain certain toxins and should be taken under the guidance of professional doctors in regular hospitals. It is not recommended to prepare medicinal liquor on your own.

The above three situations pose great health risks and may even lead to death. The public is advised not to make, purchase or drink them.
