Changes in components of onion vinegar during two-stage fermentation were investigated. One sample group (A) was prepared with onion juice by extraction and concentration (15 brix), and the other group (B) was prepared using the same method but supplemented with sucrose. Comparison of glucose (4.1%), fructose (4.2%), and sucrose (0.6%) found in A as major sugars with those (3.2, 3.3, and 4.6%, respectively) of B showed a significant difference in sucrose concentration. During alcohol fermentation, S. kluyvery DJ97 consumed these sugars completely. At 36 hr of alcohol fermentation, concentrations of reducing and total sugars decreased to 0.5 and 0.8%, in A, and 0.4 and 0.6%, in B, respectively. No further changes were detected in the concentrations of these sugars thereafter. From 12 hr of fermentation, alcohol concentrations in groups A and B increased markedly, maximizing at 7.0% at 36 hr A and at 8.2% at 48 hr in B, and finally decreased thereafter in both groups. The detected alcohol components were ethanol, acetaldehyde, methanol, n-propyl alcohol, iso-butanol, and iso-amyl acohol. During acetic acid fermentation, the concentration of acetic acid as the major organic also increased significantly in both groups (4,776.72 and 4,894.93 mg% in A amd B, respectively). Other organic acid contents such as malic and succinic acids were higher in A than B. these results indicate that vinegar is better produced in onion extract with no sucrose supplementation based on its organic acid contents.

The indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains S13 and D8 were isolated at the microbial succession stage during spontaneous fermentation of Campbell Early wine as a resistant to potassium metabisulfite and a high sugar concentration. In this study, the fermentation characteristics of Campbell Early wine were investigated and compared with those of S. cerevisiae W-3, an industrial wine yeast. Alcohol production by the two strains was delayed at the initial fermentation stage, but increased fast when the fermentation continued. After the fermentation, the S13 and D8 wines contained 12.6% and 13.2% (v/v) alcohol, respectively, which were significantly higher than the alcohol content of the W-3 wine (12%, v/v). No marked differences were observed in the residual soluble solid content and the pH. However, the S13 and D8 wines showed high levels of total acid content, including malic and lactic acids. Especially, the lactic acid content was 8.9-fold in the S13 wine and six-fold in the D8 wine, compared with that of the W-3 wine. The two strains produced a higher level of acetaldehyde and a lower amount of methanol in the wine than the W-3 strain. The iso-Butanol content was lower in the two indigenous yeast wines with similar levels of n-propanol and iso-amyl alcohol contents than that in the W-3 wine. In the sensory evaluation, the S13 and D8 wines had higher scores for their color, flavor, taste and overall preferences than the W-3 wine. Especially, the S13 and D8 wines had much higher scores than the W-3 wine for flavor and color, respectively.

The chemical components and quality of Takjoo mash were examined on the product brewed by the case of commercial amylase, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and the yeast. 1. Lactic acid was produced at the range of 917~1,350 mg per 100 ml of the mash brewed using wheat flour, corn flour, rice and pressed barley, while succinic acid was formed at the range of 6~32 mg per 100m1 of the mash. 2. Citric acid was formed at the concentration of 6.5mg per 100m1 of the mash on the use of pressed barley, and malic acid formed at the concentration of 1.7 mg and 1.4 mg per 100m1 of the mash respectively, on the use of wheat flour and corn flour. 3. No remarkable differences between the kind of raw materials and commercial amylases and compared with the mash brewed with Nurook were observed in the components of fusel oil formed in the mash. 4. Seventeen kinds of the amino acids of the mash brewed with commercial amylase, Lactobacillus and the yeast were detected and its content was 31mg per 100ml, which is less than that of the conventional takjoo, but the contents of glycine and alanine which pray as the component of seasoning in takjoo were sufficient.

The cavity of triple filter was filled with the mixture of clinoptilolite and charcoal(1:1, V/V). The particle size of clinoptilolite was 30$\pm$5 A.S.T.M mesh. The reduction effects of the important gaseous components by this mixture were obtained as follows: 1) In comparison with the normal cellulose acetate niter, the contents of nicotine and T.P.M. were reduced about 35% and 22% respectively. 2) Many aliphatic and cyclic compounds were also substantially reduced in an average of 60%. 3) In contrast with the charcoal, the removal efficiency of clinoptilolite was revealed as higher (15-20%) in case of aliphatic compounds than the one (10-15%) of cyclic compounds. The above results showed us that the removal function of gaseous components was quite complementary each other (charcoal and clinoptilolite).

In Food revolution of Korea, colorimetries or a titration methods are introduced for the analysis of alcoholic liquors. But, these wet analyses have disadvantages such as individual errors, long process time, and sometimes tedious pretreatments. In the process of making alcoholic liquors, fusel oils are produced as by products. Five main fusel components that could be produced are 2-propanol, n-propanol, iso-butanol, n-butanol, and isoamyl alcohol. Also acetaldehyde and methanol could be produced as by-products of ethanol. With using capillary FFAP column in GC or GC/MSD, we analysed these five fusel components as well as internal standard (acetonitrile) including methanol, acetaldehyde and ethanol simultaneously. We obtained excellent mass spectra as qualitative data of all species. We also took excellent quantitative data with GC by using the internal standard method.

Muscat Bailey A (MBA) wine was fermented using the indigenous Korean Saccahromyces cerevisiae strains S13 and D8, and the fermentation characteristics were compared with those of S. cerevisiae W-3, an industrial wine yeast. The strains S13 and D8 showed delayed alcohol fermentation compared with the W-3 strain, but the final alcohol contents of the S13 and D8 wines after fermentation were similar to those of the W-3 wine. The S13 wine showed significantly lower malic-acid content than the W-3 wine, but the D8 wine showed a similar level. Both the wines fermented using the S13 and D8 strains showed significantly lower acetaldehyde, methanol, and fusel oil contents, including n-propanol, iso-butyl alcohol, and iso-amyl alcohol, compared to the W-3 wine. Especially, the methanol content was 98.6 mg/L in the S13 wine and 112.0 mg/L in the D8 wine, which were much lower than 192.8 mg/L in the W-3 wine. The S13 wine obtained the highest score in terms of color among the three wines in the sensory evaluation, with lower Hunter's L, a, and b values compared to the W-3 wine.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of rice nuruk prepared from rice with different degrees of milling (0, 10, 30, 50, and 70%) on physicochemical qualities of yakju. The results indicated significant differences in the qualities of yakju prepared using rice nuruk from rice with different degrees of milling. Specially, pH, amino acidity, brownness, b value, and color difference were significantly reduced as the degrees of milling increased, whereas contents of alcohol and volatile acid, reducing sugar, and L value were increased. Malic acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid were the main organic acids in yakju, and there were significant differences among the treatments in malic acid, lactic acid. However, there was no tendency according to different degrees of milling. In addition, contents of total free amino acids and nitrogen compounds showed no tendency according to degrees of milling, whereas the content of aspartic acid showed a tendency to decrease significantly. The content of 2-phenyl alcohol in the volatile flavor components showed a tendency to increase significantly with higher degree of milling of rice nuruk, whereas contents of n-propanol and iso-amyl alcohol tended to decrease significantly.

Quality characteristics of mash of takju prepared by different raw materials such at nonglutinous rice. glutinous rice, barley and wheat flour were investigated during fermentation. At the beginning stage of fermentation, ethanol content was in the range of $0{\sim}1.2%$ but it was increased to $9.8{\sim}11.6%$ after 16 day of fermentation. takju that was made of nonglutious rice with starter showed higher ethanol content than any other treatment. At the first stage, pH of takju that was made of nonglutinous rice without starter was 6.57 while other sample showed pH $5.04{\sim}5.80.$ There was no significant difference in pH value between treatments after 2 day of fermentation. Total acid was increased rapidly at the first stage of fermentation, and increased slowly after 2 day of fermentation. Takju that was made of nonglutious rice without of fermentation, and increased slowly after 2 day of fermentation. Takju that was made of nonglutious rice without addition starer showed higher total acid content than the other teratments. Total sugar contents were $19.18{\sim}20.23%$ at the beginning of fermentation, and decreased to $5.21{\sim}14.03%$ after 2-4 days of fermentation. Takju that was made of wheat flour showed higher value of total sugar during the fermentation. Reducing sugar contents of takju decreased with fermentation progressing to $0.2{\sim}0.5%$ after 16 day if fermentation. L value decreased during the fermentation. period and that of takju that was made of barley had lowest L value among the treatment. Alcohols, such as n-propanol ($nd{\sim}0.05\;mg/ml$), iso-butanol (0.02), iso-amyl alcohol ($nd{\sim}0.13$), n-hexanol ($nd{\sim}0.17$), n-heptanol ($nd{\sim}0.09$), and phenylethanol ($nd{\sim}0.02$) were detected. There were no alcohols detected at the beginning of fermentation, but their contents were increased during fermentation.

The objective of this research was to investigate the quality characteristics of the spirits by different distillation and filtrations. The contents of alcohol, total acids, and amino acids in rice mash were 15%, 0.25 g/100 mL, and 0.15 g/100 mL, respectively. The soluble content was $10^{\circ}Brix$, and pH was 4.6 in the rice mash. Lactic acid was the most prominent organic acid found in rice mash. The rice spirit distilled by a multi stage distiller showed the highest amounts of aroma compounds, such as fusel oil and esters. However, the filtration did not affect the amounts of total aroma compounds. It is suggested that a multi stage distiller may influence taste and flavor positively by enhancing the aroma and removing the impurities in rice spirits.
