Rice wine contains more than ten kinds of amino acids, 8 of which are indispensable for human body to synthesize. The content of lysine per liter of rice wine is several times higher than that of wine and beer, which is rare in other nutritious wines, so people call it "liquid cake".
The nutrients in rice wine are more easily absorbed by the human body, and it is a good product for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and the weak. Rice wine has the effects of promoting appetite, helping digestion, warming cold and tonifying deficiency, refreshing and relieving fatigue, quenching thirst and relieving summer heat, promoting blood circulation and moistening skin.

At present, there are three types of koji used in rice wine production: folk traditional koji, industrialized koji and purebred koji. Among them, root koji is a necessary microbial strain for all rice wine fermentation. After soaking and cooking glutinous rice, starch particles will fully absorb water and gelatinize, which is beneficial to the saccharification of rhizobacteria, that is, the process of decomposing starch into sweet products by adding water.
After the glutinous rice is inoculated with distiller's yeast, the microorganisms in it multiply and secrete amylase, so that most of the starch is saccharified into glucose, maltose and dextrin, and a small amount of glucose is decomposed into ethanol and organic acids, and a small amount of protein forms free amino acids. After fermentation, the soluble vitamins, minerals and sugars in glutinous rice are dissolved into rice wine, which is more conducive to human absorption.
During the fermentation process of rice wine, some glucose decomposes to produce organic acids, so it has a certain sour taste. These organic acids, together with glucose and other sugars, give rice wine a special flavor of sour and sweet, and aromatic substances such as alcohol, ester and acid produced during the fermentation process give rice wine a unique aroma.
