Abstract:

Being one of the critical crops available in large quantities during the season in the South of Vietnam, jackfruit is a good source of sugars, proteins, and flavoring compounds, making it a potential substrate for beverage production. In this study, the
optimal conditions of jackfruit pulp and seed fermentation for further distillation were revealed. Optimal yeast ratio, the concentration of initial dry matter, pH value, and fermentation time were determined. It was shown that preliminary pulp and seed
treatment with commercial enzyme formulations amylosubtilin and glucavamorin increased ethanol yield. Obtained jackfruit distillated strong drink (40 % ethanol v/v), meets the safety requirements, and shows high organoleptic properties.
