This study identified and compared the volatile flavor components of two commercial rice wines: one fermented using the mycelium of Phellinus linteus and a regular commercial rice wine. The volatile flavor components were isolated from the infusions by Porapak Q (50-80 mesh) column adsorption. The concentrated aroma extracts were then analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. Thirty-four kinds of flavor components were identified in the mycelium-fermented rice wine, including 11 alcohols, 8 esters, 3 ketones, 6 acids, 3 hydrocarbones, and 4 others. In the regular commercial rice wine, 36 kindss of flavor compounds were identified, including 9 alcohols, 6 esters, 4 ketones, 6 acids, 9 hydrocarbones, and 2 others. Therefore, the data indicate that the primary flavor components in the rice wines were alcohols and esters.

Effects of Takju(Korean turbid rice wine) lees on noodle investigated by substituting Takju lees water extract powder for each 2% and 4% wheat flour in sample II and III, respectively. The lightness(L) of uncooked noodles was decreased, whereas that of cooked noodles was increased with increasing amount of extract added. Redness(a) and difference of total color(δE) were significantly increased according to the amount of extract added in uncooked and cooked noodles. Yellowness(b) of the noodles containing 2% Takju lees water extract powder was exhibited lowest values in uncooked and cooked noodles. In cooking property of noodles, turbidity of soup decreased in proportion to amount of extract added, 2% and 4% in sample II and III, respectively whereas the weight and volume of noodles were not significant than those of control. Tension of cooked noodle was highest in sample II and lowest in sample III. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodle showed an significant increase of hardness in addition of Takju lees water extract powder but not significant different in springiness, chewiness, adhesiveness. Cohesiveness was significantly lowest in sample II. The sensory evaluation showed that significant difference between noodles with 2% addition groups and control was not recognized but was recognized 4%. Therefore, based on cooking properties and sensory evaluation, Takiu lees water extract powder up to 4% could be substituted for wheat flour.

This study was performed to determine the effect of Takju(Korean turbid rice wine) lees on the serum glucose level in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into three groups: normal control(NC), diabetic control(DC) and diabetic rats(DS) were fed on experimental diet and water ad libitum for 4 weeks. DS diet was containing 20% Takju lees. Body weight gain and food Efficiency Ratio(FER) were significantly lower in DC and DS than NC. DS tended to have higher weight, weight gain and FEF than DC nevertheless food intake. Therefore Takju lees could possibly complement casein as a protein source. Gastrointestianl transit time in DS significantly decreased than NC while not significantly than DC. Serum lipid profiles and AST. ALT and amylase were not significantly different between diabetic DC and DS. Blood glucose was measured at fasting state and 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute by oral glucose tolerance test, DS tended to lower the mean(± SE) incremental blood glucose concentrations than DC and was significantly low at 120 min. But incremental AUG(area under the curve) of postprandial glucose response was not significantly different. In conclusion, in spite of high contents of carbohydrate Takju lees perhaps have a benefit effect on the diabetes.

Recently,mushrooms have received attention because they are material of nutritious food health-stimulating properties and medicinal effects. For the purpose of application the antihypertensive Pholiota adiposa and S. cerevisiae into development of new functional traditional rice wine, optimal fermentation condition and sensory evaluation of functional traditional rice wines were investigated and further its angiotensin-I converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activities were determined. Addition of antihypertensive Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012 into the mash was unaffected to ethanol production. The best acceptability showed in the PS-1 traditional rice wines which was brewed byaddition of 0.1% Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012 fruiting body into mash containing antihypertensive S. cerevisiae and cooked and also showed high ACE inhibitory activity of 78.3%.

본 연구에서는 전통적 강정제조법의 표준화를 위해 부재료인 청주와 콩의 첨가 수준에 대한 최적 조건을 결정하였다. 청주의 수준이 낮을수록 콩의 수준은 높을수록 강정의 팽화도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 강정의 기름흡수율은 청주 30 ml, 콩 10 g 첨가 수준에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 반응 표면 방법을 이용한 관능검사 결과로부터 찹쌀가루 200 g 당 청주 35 ml와 콩 8.5 g 첨가 수준이 부재료의 최적 조건으로 결정되었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changes in the quality of rice wine (Makgeolli) treated with UV-C and electron beam (EB) irradiation during its storage at 4℃ for 15 days. The EB irradiation was found to be more effective than the UV-C irradiation for microbiological control. The pH tended to be increased by UV-C, EB irradiation, and storage period. Acidity was significantly higher in rice wine treated with EB irradiation than those of control and UV-C irradiation during storage period. The L*-value of the samples treated with UV-C and EB irradiation tended to be proportionately higher than that of the control, but this was not consistent during storage period. The a*-value of the sample treated with EB was higher than that of the others, but this was not consistent during the storage period. The reducing sugar content was higher in the control at day 0, but it rapidly decreased compared with the control during the storage. The results indicate that EB irradiation was more effective than UV-C irradiation in controlling microorganisms of rice wine. However, a further study is needed to minimize the rice wine quality deterioration caused by UV-C or EB irradiation during storage.

The quality characteristics of rice wine seed mash and rice wine made with different lactic acid concentrations were investigated. The pH decreased along with the lactic acid concentration. The total titratable acid content of the rice wine seed mash was lowest when 0.5% lactic acid was added, and the ethanol contents of the mash samples were not significant. The results of the measurement of the microorganism number, C (cell numbers of the total bacteria and the lactic acid bacteria), decreased along with the lactic acid concentrations of the mash samples. The yeast cell numbers of the rice wine seed mash samples according to the lactic acid concentrations were high (0.5, 0.3, 1.0, control, and 0.7%, respectively). The pH and total titratable acid levels of rice wine according to the lactic acid concentration were stable during fermentation, according to the increase in the amount of lactic acid. The organic acids in the rice wines were highest in the lactic acid. The rice wines to which lactic acid had been added had lower acetic acid contents than the control. Also, the acetic acid contents decreased along with the lactic acid concentrations, except in the rice wine treated with 1.0% lactic acid. The ethanol contents of the tested rice wines were not significant. All in all, in the sensory evaluation, the rice wines treated with 0.5 and 0.7% lactic acid scored higher than the other treatments.

The antioxidant activities of makgeolli and other alcoholic beverages were compared. Based on the same volume (70 μL eq.) of the alcoholic beverages, the 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid ammonium salt) (ABTS+) radical-scavenging activities were as follows: whisky > makgeolli crude extract (MCE) > rice wine (RW) > clarified makgeolli (CM) > soju. Based on the same alcohol concentration (6%) of the alcoholic beverages, however, makgeolli showed the highest activity. In addition, based on the same volume (70 μL eq.), the inhibition effects against the formation of cholesteryl ester hydroperoxide (CE-OOH) were as follows: soju > whisky > RW > MCE > CM. Based on the same alcohol concentration (6%), however, the inhibition effects against the formation of CE-OOH were as follows: RW > MCE > soju > whisky > CM. Therefore, it was suggested that makgeolli may contain radical-scavenging- and metal-ion-chelate-type antioxidants and may increase the antioxidant activity in the blood.
