Main achievements of the Scientific Research Laboratory

In 1973, Moutai Distillery officially established the Scientific Research Laboratory. It consists of a microbiome, an analysis group, and a test class for production experiments. With the combination of scientific theory and production practice, the following scientific research results were achieved from the establishment of the company to 1989:

Among them, the most important achievement is the successful trial production of 39-degree Moutai liquor. According to changes in market demand and the development trend of the contemporary brewing industry, the scientific research office of Moutai Distillery began to develop low-alcohol Moutai liquor in 1978. In March 1983, China Cereals and Oils Import and Export Corporation and Hong Kong Ng Fung Trading Co. proposed to Moutai Distillery a trial production of low-alcohol Moutai liquor. The Provincial Department of Light Industry attached great importance to it and immediately assigned the task to the Provincial Light Industry Research Institute. In close cooperation with the scientific research office of Moutai Distillery, a batch of low-alcohol Moutai was successfully trial-produced that year, and passed the provincial pilot test in March 1984.

In 1984, the Ministry of Light Industry based on the provincial small-scale test appraisal, the trial production (pilot test) ) The project of low-alcohol Maotai-flavor Maotai liquor is listed as a ministerial-level project and issued. The Light Industry Department and Moutai Distillery formed a joint trial production team headed by Ding Xiangqing (senior engineer of the Light Industry Research Institute), Ji Keliang, Wang Hua, Xu Ying (director of the scientific research office and deputy chief engineer of the Moutai Distillery) and other comrades. After more than years of hard work, the trial production of low-alcohol Moutai liquor was finally successful. It passed the provincial and ministerial appraisals in August and September 1986 respectively, and won high praise from experts. The successful trial production of 39-degree Moutai liquor is a major scientific research achievement in the history of Moutai liquor development and scientific research.

Other scientific research results of Moutai liquor

In 1974, in order to further explore the secrets of the traditional craftsmanship of Moutai liquor and find an effective way to expand the production of Moutai liquor, the Guizhou Provincial Science and Technology Commission issued the " "Kweichow Moutai Liquor Relocation Production Intermediate Trial" was a science and technology intermediate pilot project of Guizhou Province in 1975, and was approved by the Ministry of Light Industry and various national science and technology commissions. The ex-situ trial of Moutai was put into production in Zunyi in 1975, and it passed the appraisal in 1985 (the quality of the wine produced was better, but compared with Moutai, there was still a certain gap). It demonstrates from another aspect the close relationship between the scientific nature of the traditional brewing process of Moutai and the unique natural conditions and the perfect style of Moutai. It shows that it is indeed difficult to make Moutai from another place that meets the standards of Moutai without leaving Moutai Town. liquor.

The 1975 "Summary of Moutai Traditional Process Operation and Research on Quality Improvement" was regarded as the 1975 Guizhou Province Scientific development plan, included in the key scientific research projects of Guizhou Province in 1975. The project finally did a lot of scientific research from the following aspects and achieved certain results.

At the end of 1975, the National Famous Liquor Technology Association was held at the Moutai Distillery , representatives of eight famous wineries in the country and some high-quality wineries attended the meeting. At the meeting, representatives from each winery introduced their valuable experiences in developing production and improving the quality of famous wines in recent years, and exchanged the latest scientific research information with each other.

Moutai Distillery benefited a lot from this conference, which further promoted the development of scientific research activities in the factory.

In 1978, the Guizhou Provincial Light Industry Research Institute and the Kweichow Moutai Distillery*** We also conducted a series of scientific research on the aroma components and flavor types of Moutai liquor. Dozens of aroma components of Moutai have been newly analyzed, and the mystery of the aroma of Moutai has been initially revealed. This scientific research achievement won the Guizhou Provincial Science Conference Award issued by the provincial government.

In 1982, Guizhou Light Industry Research Institute and Kweichow Moutai Distillery *** cooperated "Moutai Aroma and Main Microorganisms for Making Koji and Liquor" conducted further scientific research, analyzed the composition of the aroma components of Moutai and the types and quantities of the main microorganisms during the brewing process of Moutai, and obtained a large amount of precious data, forming reached correct scientific conclusions. This research won the third prize of Guizhou Province Science and Technology Award.
