Procedure for obtaining chestnut spirit

Procedure for obtaining chestnut spiritThe procedure consists in distilling the mass that results from simultaneously performing the enzymatic hydrolysis of chestnut starch and fermentation of the glucose generated with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the absence of a free liquid phase. The result of such a procedure is a distillate of between 30 and 50 grade alcohols and with levels of methanol, superior alcohols and other volatile compounds that guarantee both the absence of organoleptic defects as well as the alimentary security of the product. The procedure and product application is of interest to chestnut transformation industries and distilleries.

El procedimiento consiste en destilar la masa resultante de realizar de forma simultánea la hidrólisis enzimática del almidón de castaña y la fermentación de la glucosa así generada con una levadura seleccionada en ausencia de una fase liquida libre. El resultado de tal proceder es un destilado de entre 30 y 50 grados alcohólicos y con niveles de metanol, alcoholes superiores y otros compuestos volátiles que garantizan tanto la ausencia de defectos organolépticos como la seguridad alimentaria del producto. El procedimiento y su producto de aplicación son de interés en industrias transformadoras de la castaña y en destilerías.
