Description

 The invention relates to the food industry, and more specifically to alcoholic beverages, and can be used in the production of vodka.

 Known carbonated drinks containing as a food additive particles of gold [1].

 The disadvantage of these drinks is the rapid sedimentation of suspended particles of gold, and the more quickly, the faster the partial pressure of the gas decreases in solution.

 The closest in its technical essence and the achieved effect to the claimed vodka is vodka, described in patent UA 40124, cl. With 12 G 3/06, 2001, and the method of production of vodka - in the patent RU 2055872, cl. C 12 G 3/06, 1996 [2, 3].

 The disadvantage of this vodka is the rapid settling of the precious metal plates after mixing and low consumer properties due to the lack of sparkling effect.

 The technical result is to improve the consumer properties of the target product by increasing the duration of soaring suspended particles and giving the target product the effect of "sparkle".

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that vodka as a food additive additionally contains forged silver leaf plates with a silver / gold ratio of 1: 1-3: 1 in an amount of 0.01 ÷ 0.02 g / l, and the plates have an area from 2.0 mm ² with linear dimensions 1.0 • 2.0-1.5 • 1.5 mm ² up to 25 mm ² with linear dimensions 3.0 • 8.0-5.0 • 5.0 mm with thickness 0.0001 ÷ 0.0005 mm for gold and 0.0008 ÷ 0.001 mm for silver and have different settling rates, and the number of suspended plates in a row from smaller to larger corresponds to the Gaussian distribution curve.

 A method of producing vodka includes preparing sorting by mixing the corrected water with ethyl alcohol, purifying and filtering the vodka, keeping it in a fine vat and adjusting the strength, followed by bottling in the container, and before the bottling the food additive is placed in the form of a precious metal, bottling is carried out and further crushed gold and silver by stirring with a paddle stirrer for 10-30 seconds or ultrasound for 2-5 seconds, followed by capping.

 The technical task was to create a composition "water-alcohol solution - a suspension of a mixture of gold and silver plates", which has two consumer qualities: the effect of "sparkling" and the effect of "presence of precious metal", i.e. visually distinguishable soaring plates of precious metals.

 In addition, the task was also to determine the boundary geometric parameters of suspended particles of gold and silver, ensuring the preservation of the above effects in such a period of time that usually passes on average or between two mixes of contents (in this case, a gold and silver-containing drink) - the process of the next “pouring” ", or in the continuation of a long toast. On average, the indicated period of time is 8-10 minutes and this is a guideline for maintaining the effect of "sparkling", and for the effect of "presence of precious metal" the specified period of time is 3-5 minutes.

 In the claimed technical solution, the size and shape of the suspended particles of the precious metal are crucial to achieve improved consumer characteristics. The authors found that in order to maintain a sparking effect that is stable for 5–10 min, the linear dimensions of the precious metal plates should be in the range 1.5–2.0 mm. Large linear dimensions, for obvious reasons, settle faster. Plates with linear dimensions less than 1.0 mm impart turbidity to the solution. In addition, since a substantial part of the light reflected by the plates is scattered, with a decrease in the linear dimensions of the plates, the brightness of the “bunnies” of reflected light weakens and, accordingly, the effect of “sparkling” practically disappears. It should be noted that with a surface area / thickness ratio> 100, the plates are floating in the solution, and the higher the ratio, the higher the aerodynamic quality. In the claimed technical solution, the thickness of the plates varies between 0.0001 ÷ 0.0005 mm for gold and 0.0008 ÷ 0.001 mm for silver (the ratio "surface area / thickness" in this case for plates of smaller and larger sizes is 100-400 and 1000-40000, respectively), such a thickness with the claimed geometric parameters of the plates ensures their long soaking in solution and at the same time the specified thickness is technologically achievable. Today, such a level of thickness can be provided only by the technology of gold leaf and silver production.

 As for the mass content of precious metal plates in a water-alcohol mixture and the quantitative ratio of plates with different sizes to each other, to create the effect of the presence or presence of a precious metal, it is necessary, taking into account the settling of the plates, to maintain a concentration of at least 1-2 plates with dimensions 5.0 • 5.0 mm in 10 ml of solution. To create and maintain the effect of "sparkling" it is necessary to have a concentration of plates with dimensions of 1.5-2.0 mm at least 3-5 plates per 10 ml of solution. Calculations show that the total mass content of precious metal plates in this case will be 0.015-0.020 g / l. Of course, the sizes of the plates cannot be the same for both size intervals and therefore both the number of plates and their mass will fluctuate within certain limits. Therefore, the total mass of the plates in the aqueous-alcoholic solution is maintained in the range from 0.01 to 0.02 g / l and the number of suspended plates in a row from smaller to larger in size, corresponding to the Gaussian distribution curve.

 The task of obtaining precious metal plates of the required size and introducing them into an aqueous-alcoholic solution is accomplished by grinding sheet of gold leaf and silver in a tank, while plates of forged gold leaf and silver of the calculated mass and calculated ratio are placed in the tank before bottling, bottling is carried out, and then they are ground gold and silver by stirring with a paddle stirrer for 10-30 seconds or ultrasound for 2-5 seconds, followed by capping.

 The average sizes of flakes of gold leaf and silver formed in this case are determined by ultrasound parameters: frequency, power, processing time (or parameters of mechanical mixing).

 The claimed technical solution can be implemented as follows.

 Drinking water is corrected by filtration through activated carbon impregnated with silver, and then sorting is obtained by mixing water with rectified ethyl alcohol "Lux". Then, the vodka obtained in this way is purified and filtered by sequential passing through quartz sand, activated carbon and quartz sand. Next, the prepared vodka is sent to the finishing vat, the target additives are introduced, the strength of the vodka is adjusted and bottling is carried out in the tank, while plates of forged gold leaf and silver leaf of the calculated mass and calculated ratio are placed in the tank before bottling, the bottling is carried out and the gold is further mixed by mixing with a paddle stirrer within 10-30 seconds or by ultrasound for 2-5 seconds, followed by capping.

 As ethyl alcohol, rectified ethyl alcohol of the highest purification "Lux" according to GOST 5962-67 is used.

 The corrected drinking water is used as water.

 As a dietary supplement, forged gold leaf containing 20-25 wt.% Silver and forged silver leaf are used.

 For a better understanding, the invention can be illustrated, but not exhausted by the following examples of its specific implementation.

 Example 1

Drinking water is filtered by passing through activated carbon impregnated with silver, and then filtered water is mixed with rectified ethyl alcohol of the highest purification Lux according to GOST 5962-67. Thus purified water is sent to the preparation of sorting. 5.86 dal of water and 4.14 dal of rectified ethyl alcohol "Lux" are mixed in a lapping tank. Next, the vodka is purified and filtered, passing it through quartz sand, carbon battery and quartz sand, and then incubated for 2 hours. After mixing, determine the strength of vodka (39.92%). The fortress is adjusted as follows: 1.0 decalitre of vodka is taken, 20 ml of alcohol is introduced into it with stirring, and the resulting solution is introduced into the sorting in a finishing tank with stirring. The mixture is kept for 1 hour, after which control filtration is carried out and poured. Before bottling, forged gold leaf weighing 0.006 g and 0.012 g of forged silver leaf are placed in containers (0.7 L bottles). After bottling, a paddle mixer is immersed in the vessel and the liquid is mixed with the gold leaf and silver leaf plates inside it for 15 seconds. In this case, the metal plates are crushed and then the containers are corked. Thus obtained target product contains 0.018 g / l of gold and silver in the form of plates with sizes from 0.5 • 0.5 to 5.0 • 5.0 mm. After shaking the contents of the bottle (solution temperature 15 ^{° C.} ), the large plates completely settled after 5 minutes; smaller plates soared and created a sparkling effect for 9 minutes.

 Example 2

The claimed technical solution was carried out as in example 1, except that a waveguide was immersed in a filled container (0.7 L bottle) with wrought gold leaf and silver plates placed in it and subjected to ultrasonic treatment (UZDN-2T generator, frequency of ultrasonic vibrations 22 kHz, output power 200 W, oscillation amplitude 12-15 μm) for 3 s. In this case, the metal plates are crushed and then the container is corked. Thus obtained target product contains 0.018 g / l of gold and silver in the form of plates with sizes from 0.5 • 0.5 to 5.0 • 5.0 mm. After shaking the contents of the bottle (solution temperature 15 ^{° C.} ), the large plates completely settled after 5 minutes; smaller plates soared and created a sparkling effect for 8 minutes.

 Examples 3-10.

 The claimed technical solution was carried out as in example 1, except that the ratio of components and methods of grinding plates of food additives were changed.

 The results are shown in the table.

 As can be seen from the description and the above examples, the claimed technical solution improves the consumer properties of the target product by increasing the duration of soaring of suspended particles and giving the target product the effect of "sparkling".
