The purpose of this study was to confirm the quality characteristics of distilled soju with different rice pretreatment processes. The non-steamed fermentation method is a technology that uses starch to produce saccharification and alcohol without going through the steaming of raw materials. It has advantages such as reduction of manpower and cost, prevention of nutrient loss, and minimization of waste water. In this study, rice used were non-steamed and pulverized 'Baromi2', nonsteamed and steamed ‘Samgwang’, and puffed rice. As the fermenting agent, koji, modified nuruk, N9 yeast, and purified enzyme were used, and lactic acid was added to prevent contamination during fermentation. The amount of water was 300% in total, and after the first watering, 5 days after fermentation, the second watering was carried out. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the non-steamed fermentation method using ‘Baromi’ was superior to the existing fermentation method in terms of temperature during fermentation, final alcohol content, soluble solids, and pH. By expanding the stability of the production technology of non-steamed fermentation technology, product quality improvement can be expected.

가수량이 120%에서 300%로 증가하면서 pH는 4.6에서 4.2로 산도는 6.0에서 5.2로, 아미노산도는 6.0에서 2.5로, 가용성 고형분 함량은 18.4에서 7.4˚Brix로 낮아졌다. 술덧의 알코올 농도는 150%에서 17.6%로 가장 높았고 알코올 생산수율은 각각 59.7, 74.5, 80.8, 82.8, 89.4, 90.6%로 가수량에 의존적으로 증가하였다. 술덧의 유기산 총량은 각각 207.85, 222.38, 222.06, 204.56, 194.34, 204.34 mg/100 mL로 150%와 180%에서 높게 나타났다. 유리아미노산 총량은 각각 474.60, 317.32, 241.89, 244.51, 189.00, 208.12 mg/100 mL로 가수량에 의존적으로 감소하였고 arginine, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, tyrosine, valine이 주요 성분이었다. Iso-butanol은 154.88~182.62 ppm, iso-amylalcohol은 320.59~394.47 ppm, 1-propanol은 91.50~170.91 ppm, 2-phenylalcohol은 108.93~144.26 ppm농도로 분포하고 있고 ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, furfural, butyric acid가 검출되었다.
