In order to enhance the flavor and storage stability of meat sauce, the manufacturing process of fermented beef-rib sauce was developed in a two-step process. The fermented sauce base was manufactured with Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Y-80 yeast cultivation in raw sauce ingredients for 3 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermented beef-rib sauce (FBS) was produced by mixing fermented sauce base with side ingredients. Comparison of the physicochemical and sensory properties with non-fermented beef-rib sauce (NFBS) revealed that the content of ethanol and volatile flavor compounds were higher in FBS; also, the result of sensory evaluation showed that FBS obtained excellent scores for overall taste. To determine the storage stability, FBS and NFBS were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The extent of decrease of pH and increase of titratable acidity in NFBS were faster than FBS. After 7 days, ethanol concentrations in FBS and NFBS were 3.77% and 2.04%, respectively. Therefore, based on these results, it can be suggested that storage stability of FBS is superior.

In order to use nutraceutical components in Yulmoo (Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. ma-yuen Stapf), the acceptability of Yulmoo for Takju (Korean rice wine) was examined in terms of the production of volatile components. When Yulmoo was added to the Takju made by commercial koji as a substitute of starch at 0 (rice 100%), 15, 30, 60, and 100%, the ethanol content slightly increased to 13.6, 15.2, 15.2, 14.1, and 13.8%, the Production of isobutanol and iso-imyl alcohol increased as the amount of Yulmoo increased. While the use of Yulmoo to the Takju as the nuruk (Korean traditional koji), inoculated with Aspergillus kawachii (AK) and Rhizopu japonicus (RJ), decreased the contents of n-propanol, iso-butanol, and iso-amyl alcohol as well as the contents of ethanol from 14.3% to 11.2 [AK], 7.5 [RJ], and 10.4% [AK + RJ]. The Yulmoo nuruk in Takju increased the production of acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate indicating the negative effect in the organoleptic evaluation. It was determined that the addition of Yulmoo as a starch source or as nuruk has a critical effect on the production of fusel oils and other volatile compounds in Takju fermentation.

Oak barrel have been used for a long time for the aging of wine. Instead of oak barrel aging, however, roasted oak chips can be directly added in the wine before aging. In this study, Korean oak chips roasted for different time durations were used for the red wine aging, and the properties of wine aged through the addition of the roasted oak chips were characterized. No significant differences were observed in the alcohol, soluble-solid, reducing-sugar and total-acid contents based on the oak chips aging, but the total phenol content increased. The methanol, ethyl acetate, propanol, isobutanol and isoamyl alcohol contents also increased. Especially, the methanol and propanol contents increased as the roasting time was prolonged. Although the hue values were similar to one another, the intensity as well as the lightness, redness, and yellowness values were high in the wine aged with the roasted oak chips. In the sensory evaluation, the wine aged with oak chips roasted for 2 h showed the highest scores in the flavor, taste, and overall preference.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of varying the amount of water added on the characteristics of mash fermented using modified Nuruk for distilled-Soju production. As the amount of water added to the mash increased from 120 to 300%, the pH dropped from 4.6 to 4.2, resulting in reductions in the acidity from 6.0 to 5.2, in the amino acid level from 6.0 to 4.2, and in the soluble-solid content from 18.4 to $7.4^{\circ}Brix$. The alcohol concentration of the mash was highest at 17.6%, when 150% water was added, while the alcohol yield showed water-content-dependent increases of 59.7, 74.5, 80.8, 82.8, 89.4, and 90.6% with 120, 150, 180, 200, 250, and 300% water added, respectively. The values of the organic-acid content in the mash were 207.85, 222.38, 222.06, 204.56, 194.34, and 204.34 mg/100 mL, showing the highest values when 150 and 180% water was added. The total amino-acid content showed water-content-dependent decreases at 474.60, 317.32, 241.89, 244.51, 189.00, and 208.12 mg/100 mL, with arginine, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, tyrosine, and valine as the major components. The concentrations of isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, 1-propanol, and 2-phenylalcohol were 154.88~182.62, 320.59~394.47, 91.50~170.91, and 108.93~144.26 ppm, respectively, while ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, furfural, and butyric acid were also detected.
