METHOD FOR STERILIZING RICE-BREWED SAKE BY SLIGHTLY HIGH-PRESSURE TREATMENT WITH CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for performing the non-heating sterilization or bacteriostasis of rice-brewed sake by treating the sake under the carbon dioxide of a slightly high pressure. PSOLUTION: The method for performing the sterilization or bacteriostasis of the rice-brewed sake includes the treatment of the rice-brewed sake in the presence of 1.5 to 50 atm carbon dioxide gas, and carrying out the sterilization or bacteriostasis of microorganisms to inhibit the amylase activity of the microorganisms.
