In Japan will make alcohol from trees

Japanese experts of the research Institute of forestry and forest products spoke about that in the near future will appreciate the alcohol made from wood.

The fact that drinks on the basis of the trees have a taste like alcohol, which is aged in wood barrels. This is what makes the experts seriously considered the competitiveness of the new drink.

How is he preparing? The wood is ground into a thick paste, it added yeast and enzymes, starts the fermentation process. The lack of heating of the drink (unlike traditional methods) helps to keep the specific flavors of each tree.

At present, scientists were able to create alcoholic beverages made from cedar wood, birch and cherry. So, for example, 4 kg of cedar wood allowed to a 3.8 liter of beverage with an alcohol content of 15%, while this drink is very similar to a favorite Japanese sake.

The developers expect that in the next three years, “wood” alcohol will appear on store shelves.
