양조용 발효제 비율을 달리한 현미 술덧을 정치배양하여 현미식초를 제조하여 품질특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 발효과정에서 알코올 함량은 (B) 9.1%, (C) 8.8%, (D) 8.6%, (E) 8.5%로 조효소제 비율이 높을수록 감소하였고 (A)는 7.7%로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 또한 적정산도는 모든 구간에서 0.7% 정도로 나타났다. 정치배양 현미식초의 최종 적정산도는 (BV)가 약 5.2%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 초기 pH는 3.6~4.0으
Brown rice vinegar was made from brown rice mash with different brewing starter addition rates in static culture, and its quality characteristics were investigated. As a result, the amounts of alcohol produced in the fermentation process were shown to be 9.1, 8.8, 8.6 and 8.5% in the Nuruk 75 : crude enzyme 25 (B), Nuruk 50 : crude enzyme 50 (C), Nuruk 25 : crude enzyme 75 (D) and Nuruk 0 : crude enzyme 100 (E), respectively. The higher the percentage of crude enzyme added was, the lower the alcohol content that was produced. Nuruk 100 : crude enzyme 0 (A) was appeared to contain the lowest alcohol content (7.7%). In addition, the titratable acidity in all the groups was about 0.7%. The final titratable acidity (BV) of brown rice vinegar made with static culture was the highest (approximately 5.2%). The initial pH appeared to be between 3.6~4.0 and steadily decreased as the fermentation progressed, and the pH was almost unchanged after 15 day fermentation. The examination of the changes in the organic acids showed that the acetic acid content was similar in all the groups, and that the single starter added (AV, EV) group had much more other organic acids than the mixed starters added (BV, CV, DV) group. From these results, the mixed starters (Nuruk and crude enzyme) added group appeared to be superior to the single starter added in terms of alcohol production ability and vinegar quality. As the future aging process, however, is expected to change the flavor components and sensory characteristics, studies on various quality factors of vinegar are needed.
