Abstract
Korean traditional rice wine Takju and Yakju were manufactured using 2-step-brewing method. To investigate microflora involved in fermentation step, number of microorganisms, pH, titratable acidity, and alcohol contents of Takju and Yakju were measured. In Takju and Yakju, although not significantly, $1.1{\times}10^{8}$ and $2.0{\times}10^{6}\;CFU/mL$ lactic acid bacteria at initial stage of second fermentation decreased to $8.3{\times}10^{6}\;and\;1.0{\times}10^{4}\;CFU/mL$ at the end of second fermentation, respectively. For Takju, micrococci and yeast occupied 80 and 20% at initial stage of second fermentation, whereas bacteria and yeast occupied 35 and 65% at the end of second fermentation, respectively. Yeast occupied 88% throughout the second fermentation of Yakju. The main yeast isolated from both Takju and Yakju was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae using API 20C AUX kit. The yeast strain Candida magnoliae was also detected during fermentation of Takju and Yakju.
