Quality assessment and design of alcoholic beverages based on grain distillates

The article presents data on the method of quality assessment and the design of beverage recipes with the use of extracts of plant raw materials: oak, cherry and plum wood. The method includes establishing a correlation between physical-chemical and organoleptic indices of beverages and consumer properties with mathematical processing of experimental data and determining the optimal quantitative ratio of oak, plum and cherry wood extracts in blends, at which the beverage will have the maximum values of quality, organoleptic evaluation and “psychological price”. The optimal mix of extracts is 0-7% of oak wood extract, 70-100% plum wood extract, 0-25% cherry extract. The “Consumer quality” indicator was over 0.9, organoleptic evaluation was over 9.25, “psychological price” was over 500 rubles/l.
