This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different active gluten and rice Nuruk(Asp. oryzae, Asp. kawachii rice Nuruk) levels on the quality properties of steamed rice breads. Enzyme(amylase and acidic protease) activity of Asp. oryzae rice Nuruk is higher than Asp. kawachii rice Nuruk. Among the loaf volume of active gluten that were tested (10, 13, 15 and 17%) an active gluten loaf volume of 15% produced the best steamed rice bread. As a result of the loaf volume test steamed rice bread with rice Nuruk was decreased than steamed wheat bread. Regarding color, all treatments produced significant differences. The L value was decreased in steamed rice bread more than in steamed wheat bread, and a and b values were increased, respectively. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness of SRB-2, 3, 4 were lower than SWB-1 but springiness were higher. According to the sensory evaluation of steamed rice bread, color, flavor, and uniformity of pores were the highest in the steamed wheat bread, and the chewiness and texture were good in the steamed rice bread containing added active gluten and rice Nuruk. In this study, addition of rice Nuruk in steamed rice bread did not increase loaf volume, but had an advantage for overall desirability.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Korean traditional alcoholic beverages, such as Kwahaju, Sokokju, Baikhaju, Samhaeju and Hosanchun were investigated during fermentation with the difference of input step and treatment of rice and Nuruk (Korean-style bran koji). pH values in all treatments were similar to be ranged 3.1~3.2, but acidity of the treatment brewed without seed mash was 1.5~2 times higher than that of the treatment brewed with seed mash. The concentration of alcohol in all treatments increased as the concentration of the Nuruk increased. The alcohol concentrations of Samhaeju and Hosanchun ranging from 6.5% to 7.7% were higher than those of Kwahaju, Sokokju and Baikhaju ranging from 7.9% to 10.6%. Residual reducing sugar contents of Kwahaju, Sokokju and Baikhaju ranging from 4.6 g/L to 9.7 g/L were lower than those of Samhaeju and Hosanchun ranging from 14.2 g/L to 15.5 g/L. The consumed total sugar contents of Kwahaju, Sokokju and Baikhaju ranging from 125.4 g/L to 159.2 g/L were higher than those of Samhaeju and Hosanchun ranging from 111.2 g/L to 123.8 g/L, and the treatments brewed with seed mash showed more sugar consumption than the treatments brewed without seed mash. Sensory quality in the treatments brewed with seed mash was better than those of without seed mash. Concentration of Nuruk and preparation of seed mash from it were critical factors compared to input step and treatment of rice in Korean traditional alcoholic beverage brewing.

본 연구에서는 기능성이 밝혀져 있는 여주 분말을 첨가 하여 쌀누룩을 제조하고 이 누룩을 이용하여 막걸리를 제조 하였다. 여주 분말-쌀누룩(BMP-RN)은 BMP를 0, 0.5, 1.0 및 2.0%로 쌀에 첨가하여 제조하였고, 막걸리 발효가 진행 되는 동안 발효 특성, 미생물 특성 및 항산화 특성을 확인하 였다. 막걸리 발효 중 pH는 담금 직후(발효 0일째) 각각 4.52(0% BMP-RN), 4.93(0.5%), 4.80(1.0%) 및 4.88(2.0%)에 서 발효 7일째 4.15, 4.30, 4.57 및 4.77로 감소하였고, 이에 상응하여 총산은 0.60~0.78%에서 1.18-1.42%로 증가하였 다. 가용성 고형분은 발효 초기(0일째) 2.2~4.4 oBrix에서 발효 종기(7일째)8.6~9.3 oBrix로 증가하였고 알코올 함량 은 발효 종기 13.0%로 증가하였다. 한편, 수용성 phenolics 함량은 발효 0일째 각각 0.92~1.41 mg/mL에서 발효 종기(7 일째) 1.85~2.48 mg/mL로 증가하였고 이에 상응하여 DPPH 와 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성 및 FRAP 환원력은 각각 발효 0일째 46.95~70.04%, 55.33~74.13% 및 0.629~1.243에서 발 효 7일째 54.98~83.4%, 70.34~92.39% 및 0.964~1.455로 증 가하였다. 여주 분말 첨가 막걸리가 여주 분말 무첨가 막걸 리(일반 막걸리)보다 수용성 phenolics 및 항산화 활성이 높았다. 이 결과로 여주-쌀누룩을 이용하여 기능성 막걸리 제조가 가능할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

유용 양조용 효모를 선정하기 위해, 효모의 알코올 생성능을 조사한 결과, Y268 효모가 알코올 생성능이 가장 높았으며 그 중, 0.3% 접종한 효모를 최종 선정하여 사용하였다. 2종류의 양조용 곰팡이(A. luchuensis 34-1, Lich. ramose CN042)와 2종류의 쌀 품종(추청미, 한아름)으로 제조한 4종류 쌀누룩의 특성을 분석한 결과, 쌀 품종에 관계없이 A. luchuensis 34-1 균주의 이화학적 특성이 우수하였고, 균주별 및 쌀 품종별로 제조된 4종류 누룩의 유기산과 유리아미노산을 분석한 결과에서 주요 유기산은 citric acid와 malic acid로 분석되었다. 유리 아미노산은 각각 25~28개로 구성되어 있으며, 균주별과 쌀 품종별에 따라 차이를 보였다. 균주별로 제조한 쌀누룩의 배합비율을 달리하여 4가지 조합(A. luchuensis 34-1: Lich. ramose CN042=1:0, 0:1, 1:1, 1:3)과 2종류 쌀 품종으로 빚은 탁주의 발효기간에 따른 특성을 분석한 결과, 누룩의 배합비율과 쌀 품종에 따라 이화학적 특성 차이를 보였고, 알코올 함량은 발효 6일째 16%로 가장 높았다. 제조한 탁주의 유기산과 유리 아미노산 분석 결과, 전체 7종류 이상의 유기산이 검출되었으며, 주요 유리 아미노산은 arginine, citrulline이었고, 누룩의 배합비율과 쌀 품종에 따라 차이가 있었다. 탁주의 관능특성을 비교한 결과, 전반적인 기호도는A. luchuensis 34-1 누룩의 함량이 높을수록 높은 기호도를 보였고, 누룩 배합비율별로 비교했을 때는 쌀 품종에 관계없이 1:1 비율로 제조한 탁주가, 쌀 품종별로 비교했을 때는 한아름으로 제조한 탁주의 선호도가 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The temperature changes and quality characteristics of Makgeolli produced using rice treated with Gaeryang-Nuruk (commercial improved Nuruk) extract were investigated. During fermentation, the treated rice maintained a lower temperature than the control and then rose after the fifth mashing day. For all the treatments, the numbers of yeast, LAB and AAB colonies increased on the second mashing day, and then gradually decreased. As the fermentation proceeded, the pH gradually increased from the third mashing day, and eventually became higher than that on the initial mashing day. The total acid contents increased on the first mashing day, but as the fermentation progressed, they showed little change. The amino acidity and soluble solid contents during overall fermentation and reducing-sugar contents was reduced until the first mashing day, and increased from the day after. As for the alcohol content, that of the control was 6.87% on the first mashing day, and then gradually increased, nuruk-extract-treated rice began with 9～10% alcohol content and then increased as the fermentation proceeded. Among the organic acid contents, lactate was the main material. In the sensory evaluation, the 24 h-, 48 h- and 72 h- treated rice samples showed somewhat good response.
