Burukutu is an African alcoholic beverage, brewed from the grains of Guinea corn (''Sorghum bicolor'') and Millet (''Pennisetum glaucum'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The historical development of science and technology in Nigeria )〕 The alcoholic beverage is often produced in Tropical African countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia and Burundi as one of the major traditional and local alcoholic drink. It is commonly consumed in Northern Guinea savanna region of Nigeria, Ghana and Republic of Benin. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vinegars of the World )〕 ==Production== Burukutu production involves five basic stages, which includes: steeping, malting, mashing, fermentation and maturation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FERMENTATION OF SORGHUM USING YEAST (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) AS A STARTER CULTURE FOR BURUKUTU PRODUCTION )〕 The production begins by malting, which involves the conversion of the Guinea corn or millet grains into malt and this takes place on a malting floor. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Journal of Institute of Brewing )〕 This process is followed by steeping, which involves the soaking of the grains in water for at least three days to allow the grain to absorb moisture and to begins to sprout. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=African system of science technology& art:The Nigerian experience )〕 When the grain has absorbed enough moisture, it is transferred to the malting floor, where it is constantly turned over for around five days while it is air-dried. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture )〕 This procedure is followed by mashing in which the milled grain known as the "grain bill" (malted grain) is mixed with water known as "liquor" and heating the mixture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Socioeconomic consequence of technological change of Rural )〕 This process allows the enzymes in the grain bill to decompose the starch in the grain into sugars (maltose) to form a wort. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chemoreception abstract )〕 The product is allowed to ferment using the sugar fungi form of yeast and allow maturation for 2 days or 48 hours. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southern Kaduna:a people misunderstood )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burukutu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
