막걸리는 탁주이지만, 탁주가 모두 막걸리인 것은 아니다. 우리는 막걸리와 탁주를 뒤섞어서 사용한다. 탁주는 그 색깔을 보아 회주(灰酒), 백주(白酒)라고도 했고, 그 형상을 보아 재주(滓酒)라고도 했다. 막걸리는 옛 문헌에서는 막걸리 요, 또는 탁료라는 표현을 많이 썼다. 한자로 막걸리(莫乞里) 또는 탁백이(濁白伊)라고 쓰기도 했는데, 이는 차음해서 표현한 것이다.

A. oryzas 의 밀가루 누룩과 R. japonicus의 밀가루 누룩으로 탁주를 제조할 때에는 두 누룩의 혼합 비율이 탁주의 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아조기 위하여 두 누룩의 혼합 비율을 달리하여 7종의 탁주시료를 제조하고, 탁주의 이화학적 및 관능적 특성들을 조사하였다. R. japonicus는 누룩의 사용 비율이 높을 때에는 술덧의 산도와 유리당 함량이 높았고, 제성주의 부유물 함량과 부유물의 현탁 안정성도 높았다. 그러나 A. oryzas 누룩의 사용 비율이 높을 때에는 술덧의 산도와 유리당 함량이 낮았고, 제성주의 부유물 함량과 부유물의 현탁 안정성도 낮았다. R. japonicus 누룩과 A. oryzas 누룩을 2 : 1~5 : 1의 비율로 병용했을때에는 주박의 양이 크게 줄어들었고, 아미노산 함량이 증가하였으며, 기호성도 더 좋아졌다. 탁주의 전반적이 특성으로 볼 때 각 누룩의 단용시에는 R. japonicus 누룩이 A. oryzas 누룩보다 좋았다. 그러나 R. japonicus 누룩과 A. oryzas 누룩을 병용했을때에는 탁주의 전반적인 품질이 더욱 개선되어졌는데, 이때 두 누룩의 최적 혼합 비율은 대략 5 : 1이었다.

Influence of L. bu1garicus on the brewing of Takjoo by the use of commercial anylase and yeast was investigated. 1. The acidities of the mash in which L. bulgaricus was cultured at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and 16 hours before the addition of yeast into mash were 11.6 and 13.9 (titration volumn ml with N/10-NaOH) respectively, which were slightly in excess of the nomal takjoo mash. 2. The best brewing product could be attained when L. bulgaricus was inoculated and fermented simultaneously with the yeast at 3$0^{\circ}C$. 3. When the commercial amylase and Lactobacillus were used in the brewing of Takjoo, the best condition of saccharification could be attained on the treatment of the amylase for six hours before the inoculation of Lactobacillus and yeast.

The volatile flavor components in Takju made from mashed glutinous rice and barley rice were identified by GC and GC-MS using polar column. Twenty eight kinds of flavor compounds including 10 alcohols, 9 esters, 2 acids, 7 aldehydes were identified. At the beginning of fermentation 14 kinds of volatile components were detected and the kinds of volatile components were increased up to maximum after fermentation for 16 days. The contents of volatile components in the sample made from glutinous rice contained slightly higher than the sample made from barley rice. Ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol, n-hexyl alcohol, hexenyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, ethyl succinate, 2-phenylethyl acetate, butyic acid, benzaldehyde and 3-methoxybenzaldehyde were detected in the both of the sample throughout the fermentation process. Five kinds of aldehyde including ethyl propionate, iso-amyl acetate, ethyl caprylate and ethylphenyl acetate were detected only in the sample fermented for 16 days. The main components of the both sample were ethyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl acetate, hexenyl alcohol and iso-butyl alcohol. Besides ethyl acetate and benzaldehyde from glutinous rice Takju and hexenyl alcohol from barley rice Takju were found as main components.

A cylindrical ultraviolet (UV) sterilization system was developed for decreasing microorganisms in takju. The takju was passed through 110 strips of honeycomb-type teflon tubing with 9 UV lamps (1,395 W) set between the teflon tubes. Thus, during passage, the takju was effectively exposed to the UV rays without loss. In terms of the overall quality aspects of the takju, the optimum sterilization condition was set for 4 min at 2 L/min. A 2-3 log cycle decrease in viable cell numbers of total bacteria and fungi was observed at this operating condition. Quality changes in the UV-sterilized takju were examined via UV irradiation of samples followed by storage at 30oC for 8 days. To evaluate the quality changes, pH, amino nitrogen content, acidity, reducing sugar content, and viable cell numbers of total bacteria and fungi were measured. Increases in pH, acidity, and amino nitrogen content were observed in both the takju control and UV sterilized takju with increasing storage time. However, reducing sugar content was decreased in both samples. The L, a, and b values of the control takju and UV sterilized takju showed similar trends over the storage period. Viable cell numbers of fungi did not change in the control or UV sterilized takju during storage, showing approximately $10^8\;CFU/mL$ and $10^4-10^5\;CFU/mL$, respectively. In addition, viable cell numbers of total bacteria remained lower in the UV sterilized takju over 4 days compared to the non-sterilized takju.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of Takju under different storage temperatures ($4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$) and alcohol contents (6%, 8%, 10%, and 12%) during 90 days of storage. The counts of yeast were lower in Takju samples stored at $4^{\circ}C$ than in those stored at $20^{\circ}C$ after 90 days of storage. No significant differences were observed for total acidity and free amino acid contents in Takju stored at $4^{\circ}C$ during 90 days of storage. Lactic acid contents in Takju stored at $4^{\circ}C$ changed little after 90 days of storage from 1,883.5 mg/L to 1,914.6 mg/L, whereas those in Takju stored at $20^{\circ}C$ increased to 4,736.1 mg/L after storage. Free amino acid contents in Takju stored at $20^{\circ}C$ increased after 90 days of storage regardless of alcohol content. Thus, we concluded that the shelf-life of Takju could be extended more than 30 days, currently the most common shelf-life of Takju, when stored at $4^{\circ}C$.

In this article, we report a case study on the cause of abnormal fermentation of Takju based on a microbial community analysis of wheat-based Nuruk and Takju using next-generation sequencing. The microbial community showed notable changes during alcoholic fermentation. Members of the genera Aspergillus and Staphylococcus were dominant in Nuruk, whereas Saccharomyces, Pediococcus, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and Enterobacter were predominant during Takju fermentation. In particular, members of the Enterobacter and Bacillus genera that were present were identified as the opportunistic pathogens B. wiedmannii and E. cloacae. The relative abundance of two species increased in Mitsul-3, wherein the concentration of organic acid rapidly decreased, and in Deotsul-1, in which raw materials were added. Furthermore, the relative abundance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in both the Nuruk and Takju was very low. Therefore, this result showed that the abnormal proliferation of E. cloacae and B. wiedmannii in Takju was due to the absence of LAB.

Spray-dried (SD) and freeze-dried (FD) takju powders were stored at 5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$, and various quality characteristics such as moisture, amino nitrogen, color value, total viable cell count, total sugar, reducing sugar organic acid, and flavor compounds were measured for 50 days at 10-day intervals. After 50 days of storage, the moisture content was increased from an initial 6.64% to 7.24-7.38% in the SD powder, and from an initial 4.86 to 5.43-5.61% in the FD powder. pH, total acid content and total viable cell counts were slightly increased. Organic acid content was decreased in the SD powder from an initial 3,949.9 mg% to 805.9-922.3 mg%, and in the FD powder from an initial 5,171.5 mg% to 3,646.0-4,110.2 mg%. Amino nitrogen content was increased in the SD powder from an initial 1.2% to 1.9-2.2% and in the FD powder from an initial 1.9% to 2.2-2.5%. Total sugar and reducing sugar contents were increased in the SD powder from an initial 17.2% and 4.0% to 25.9-27.3% and 5.8-6.9%, and in the FD powder from an initial 19.1% and 5.2% to 29.2-30.2% and 8.3-8.8%, respectively. With increasing storage time, L and b values in the SD powder increased slowly, while L value in the FD powder tended to decrease and b value tended to increase. About 20 major volatile flavor components were identified in the SD and FD powders by GC-MS and all such component levels were decreased with increasing storage time.

A fermented alcoholic beverage made from Sikhae, a Korean traditional fermented rice beverage, has been developed using a dextran producing isolate from Kimchi and Takju yeast. When both of yeast and the isolate inoculated for fermented beverage production it produced around 4% (w/v) ethanol and oligosaccharides during fermentation. Inoculation of Takju yeast and the dextran producing isolate showed a similar fermentation profile with case of yeast inoculation only, but the rate of sucrose use was slower than the case of yeast only. TLC analysis showed that oligosaccharides were produced during the fermentation of Takju yeast and the isolate from Kimchi. Therefore, it is possible to produce a functional fermented beverage by modification of dextran fermentation.

Quality characteristics such as alcohol, acid, and sugar contents of takju brewing mashes prepared using several yeasts were investigated during 12-days of fermentation. Among the yeasts examined, S. cerevisiae led to the highest level of ethanol (10.2-13.4%) and total minor alcohols (0.729-0.831 mg/mL). Regardless of the yeasts used, the acidity showed drastic changes (pH from 3.4-4.2 down to 2.4-2.7) during the first 2 days, and displayed negligible changes from day 4. The total acid contents rapidly increased to the first 4 days of fermentation and leveled off from 4 to the end of fermentation period. The common organic acid components were lactic, succinic and acetic acids. The total and reducing sugar contents varied depending on the yeasts used, with mashes prepared using S. coreanus and S. rouxii producing the maximum total sugar contents (5.43-5.5%) at the end of fermentation. The reducing sugar showed its maximum (7.53-14.89%) at day 2, after which it decreased to its minimum levels (3.04-4.52%). The common free sugar components were glucose and fructose, while S. ellipsoideus led to a higher free sugar level (0.35-5.29%).
