Abstract:
|
Tchoukoutou is an opaque beer produced from red or brown sorghum. This beverage is consumed
right after the manufacturing process otherwise the continual and uncontrolled fermentation turns it into an
acidic drink unsuitable for consumption after few hours. The present study has combined the traditional brewing
method, the rustic "champenoise" method of wine-making and heat treatment to produce a bottled and stabilized
drink with a long shelf-life. The chemical analysis of the resulting product displayed pH 3.45±0.15 and an
alcohol content of 3.28±0.40%. The sensory evaluation showed aspect and taste similar to those of the
traditional brew. The microbiological analyses revealed that no germs survived the heat treatment. The product
was kept for 6 months without any noticeable change of the organoleptic attributes.
