In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of Makgeolli made with loquat fruits during fermentation. The pH values of all samples decreased after 3 days of fermentation, with a final pH ranging from 3.91 to 4.05. Total acidity increased (from 0.71 to 0.76%) from the addition of loquat fruits after 15 days of fermentation. Amino acid content increased (from 0.13 to 0.22%) with fermentation time after 15 days of fermentation. Total sugar and reducing sugar content decreased with fermentation, but was significantly higher with the addition of loquat fruit. The alcohol content of the loquat-added groups was also higher compared to the control group after 15 days of fermentation. The microbial and yeast count of all samples increased to its maximum after 3 days and then decreased after 5 days of fermentation. The sensory score of Makgeolli made with 3% loquat fruit showed higher values than other samples. The results of this study suggest that loquat effectively serves as a natural additive for improving the sensory qualities of Makgeolli and potentially other foods.

The goal of this study was to screen a useful alcohol fermentative yeast for Gugija leaf makgeolli (Gl makgeolli) brewing and establish its optimal fermentation condition. Gugija leaves with various alcohol fermentative yeasts were added into the mixture of cooked non-glutinous rice and koji, and then fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Among several Gl makgeolli, ethanol contents was the highest in Gl makgeolli made by S. cerevisiae F-1. Therefore, we selected S. cerevisiae F-1 as suitable yeast for brewing of Gl makgeolli. Gl makgelli with the best total acceptability and high antihypertensive action was obtained when cooked non-glutinous rice (120 g), boiled D.W (100 mL) and JJ koji (60.5 g/300 sp) were mixed and fermented for 2 days at $30^{\circ}C$ with S. cerevisiae F-1 (5%), and added again cooked non-glutinous rice (150 g), glutinous rice (100 g), D.W (500 mL) and Gugija leave (0.1%/cooked rice) and further fermented for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$.
