탁주의 품질개선 및 율피의 활용도 증대를 위하여 율피가루를 증자미에 5%, 10%,20% 및 30%로 첨가하여 탁주를 담금한 후 발효 과정 중 술덧의 품질특성 변화를 검토하였다. 율피가루의 첨가량이 증가할 수록 pH 감소가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 발효 2일부터 18일까지는 완만하게 상승한 후 발효 18일에서는 pH 수준이었다. 발효과정 중 술덧의 총산은 담금일에 였으며, 발효 1일에 로 크게 증가하여 pH의 급격한 저하 시점과 일치하였다.
The characteristics of mash qualities of takju prepared by addition of chestnut peel powder(5%, 10%, 20% and 30% per steamed rice) were investigated during fermentation. That is, in all fermentation periods, changes of pit total acid, organic acids, solids, amino nitrogen, total sugar and reducing sugar, microorganisms, alcohol and color were determined and analyzed. There was significant differences in characteristics of mash qualities by addition of chestnut peel powder. In general, contents of total acid, organic acids, amino nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar and ethanol of takju added with chestnut peel powder were lower than those of steamed rice only, whereas solid contents was higher. But ethanol content of takju added with 5% of chestnut peel powder after 8 days of fermentation was 9.6% which was similar to that of takju prepared by addition of steamed lice only. Also, microbial populations such as total viable cells, yeast and lactic acid bacteria of the treatments were increased to about after 2 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually. In the beginning stage of fermentation color differences value of the treatments were , and the differentials reduced gradually during fermentation.
