Abstract:

In order to develop high quality watermelon wine, the brewing process using watermelon juice as the major material was investigated using single factor and orthogonal experiments. The optimal values of brewing conditions were main fermentation temperature 24 ℃ , yeast inoculation amount 0.3 g/L of and initial sugar content in watermelon juice 24%. The watermelon wine brewed under this optimal condition can provide not only high nutrition benefits and elegant flavor, but also health-promoting function. Therefore, it is a kind of healthcare drink.

Key words: watermelon, watermelon wine, brewing process, orthogonal experiment
