To develope the scientific preparation method of Dorean traditional rice drink 'Sikhye', effect of malt and commercial amylolytic enzymes in preparation of malt-Sikhye were studied. amylase activity of malt used in this study was 9,725unit/g. In malt-Sikhye preparation effective saccharifying conditions were 4% of malt 20% of rice at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 5hour. Commercial amylolytic enzymes such as $\beta$-amylase(Bio-zyme ML Himaltosin GL) $\alpha$-amylase(Bokhabhyoso 5000, Teramyl and Fungamyl) and pulluanase(en-zyme CK-20) were not effective in saccharification for Sikhye preperation.

Sikye was produced from glutinous rice. The glutinous rice Sikhye was found to contain 7.3% of limit dextrin, 10.1% of maltose, 1.3% of maltotriose and 1.75% of rice residue. Limit dextrin in glutinous rice Sikhye was purified by ethanol fractionation followed by gel chromatography on Biogel P-2. The purified limit dextrin showed both signal of $\alpha$-1,4- and $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 5:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. Limit dextrin was digested with enzymes(30units/ml) of $\alpha$-amylase, $\alpha$-glucosidase and glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori, sweet potato $\beta$-amylase and human salivary $\alpha$-amylase at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, respectively. Hydrolysis rates of these amylases on it were similar that of rice Sikhye. $\alpha$-Glucosidase plus human salivary $\alpha$-amylase hydrolyzed it to 18%. The results suggest that glutinous rice is more effective to produce high level of branched maltooligosaccharide compared with rice as raw material for Sikye making.

Isomaltooligosaccharides in Sikhye were digested with enzyme (30unit/ml) of $\alpha$-amylase, $\alpha$-glucosidase and glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori, sweet potato $\beta$-amylase and human salivary $\alpha$-amylase at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, respectively. These amylases acted on these saccharides to give hydrolysis products with less than 20% of degree of hydrolysis, except the case of glucoamylase with 62% of high degree of hydrolysis. $\alpha$-Glucosidase plus human salivary $\alpha$-amylase hydrolyzed it to attain the hydrolysis value up to 25%, but further increment of hydrolysis was not observed. Rice residue in Sikhye has similar sugar composition and structure, judging from sugar analyses by the enzymatic hydrolysis. These results suggest that isomaltooligosaccharides and rice residue in Sikhye can be a growth factor for Bifidobacterium and dietary fiber which is useful for human health.

Commercial Sikhye was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 10 day at 29$^{\circ}C$. Sucrose was hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose by invertase from the yeast, and the glucose and fructose were converted into ethanol by the yeast. Commercial Sikhye wine was found to contain 6.6% of ethanol, 0.32$\mu$mol/ml of amino acid, 226$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of protein, and 2.5ml 0.1N NaOH of acidity, respectively, and its pH was 3.21. Limit dextrin in commercial rice Sikhye wine showed both signal of $\alpha$-1, 4- and $\alpha$-1, 6- glucosidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 25:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. The taste of rice Sikhye wine was similar that of wine.

This study compared the physicochemical characteristics, proximate composition, taste compound and antioxidant properties of Sikhye prepared with pigmented rice. Proximate composition showed a significant difference depending on the type of pigmented rice except crude fat contents and pH, color was a significant difference depending on the type of pigmented rice. The highest brix degree was $15.07^{\circ}Brix$ in red and black rice Sikhye. Each highest value of reducing sugar and free sugar content showed milled rice and brown rice Sikhye. Titratable acidity and total acidity of the pigmented rice Sikhye were highest for black rice Sikhye, free sugar content were highest for green rice Sikhye. Analysis of their relative antioxidative properties indicated that black rice Sikhye had the highest total polyphenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin content, the highest levels of DPPH radical scavenging ability, and the highest level of reducing power and ferric reducing ability of plasma scores. Principal component analysis suggested that black rice Sikhye had a strong association with antioxidant properties, brown and red rice Sikhye had the strongest association with the sweetness and unique flavor.

Sik-hye(rice beverage) made of grain and malt is one of the typical traditional soft drink special day and as a seasonal food in these days as in those. In order to investigate the kind and the temporal variation of the raw materials and the cookery of the sik-hye, the literature survey was carried out. The related literatures after the 'Su-mun-sa-sul' published in 1740, which is known as the first detailed record of the sikhye, were collected. Among them, the 30 references were chosen for further investigation of the changes of the material and the cookery. The sik-hye was classified into two groups of a sweet rice drink type and sikhai type. The former includes sikhye, gamju and dansul, and the latter Andong sikhye. When to drink, how to drink, meterials and how to make according to the type of sikhye descirbed in the literatures were also summarised.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of Sikhye as affected by different amount of cooked rice and malt, and by different kinds of sweeteners. In the various Sikhyes made with the different amount of cooked rice and malt, the degree of such sensory properties as color and malt odor significantly increased with the increased amount of malt. As the amount of cooked rice increased, sensory properties such as turbidity, sweetness and viscosity increased. Reducing sugar content in Sikhye was consistent with those of sensory evaluation on sweetness. Sikhyes containing aspartame, saccharin, sorbitol or sucrose at equisweet levels to Sikhyes containing 10% sucrose showed different sensory characteristics except sweetness. Sikhye sweetened with mixtures of substituted sweeteners showed increase in sweetness and differences in bitterness and astringency compared with Sikhye containing 10% sucrose.

Ginseng sikhye is a unique beverage containing medicinal ingredients and having the unique flavor of ginseng. In this study, changes in the sugar composition of ginseng sikhye were investigated during the saccharification process. The concentration of ginseng sikhye was varied and the sugar content analyzed during the process. The amount of ginseng powder was varied from 3% to 12% in a mixture of malt (20 g), steamed rice (400 g) and 0.2 mL ${\alpha}$-amylase (Teramyl). With increasing time and temperature during the saccharification process, the sugar content in the ginseng sikhy eincreased, reaching levels similar to commercial sikhye. However, based on analysis of free sugars, the maltose content in ginseng sikhye was over 4.3%, which was higher than for commercial sikhye. Therefore, ginseng sikhye shows excellent marketability quality.

This study was prepared by varying the type of barley sikhye to promote the use of barley. to learn the quality characteristics of traditional beverage sikhye, sikhyes were made out of different kinds of barley such as amethyst barley, black naked barley, tetrastichum barley, tetrastichum waxy barley, naked barley and naked waxy barley. The result of the study is as following. Regarding the length/width ratio of barley grain, black naked barley was the biggest; while amethyst barley was the smallest. Moisture content of barley grain was in the range of 54.96~71.74%. The saccharification liquid pH was in the range of 5.40~5.63 and the soluble solid content was in the range of 15.37~18.73 brix %. The saccharification liquid of sikhye made of tetrastichum waxy barley had the highest soluble solid content; while the saccharification liquid of sikhye made of black naked barley had the lowest soluble solid content. Reducing sugar was in the range of 4.35~7.42 mg/ 100 g; at which tetrastichum waxy barley sikhye had the highest reducing sugar while black naked barley sikhye had the lowest reducing sugar. The result of reducing sugar was similar to the result of soluble solid content. Black naked barley had low Lightness, redness and yellowness in its cooked rice grain and saccharification liquid. The result of barley sikhye characteristics was as following. Black naked barley had the strongest fullness while tetrastichum waxy barley had the weakest fullness. Black naked barley had strong feeling after swallowing the barley rice grain; while tetrastichum waxy barley had weak feeling after swallowing the barley rice grain. The result of feeling after swallowing the barley rice grain had correlation with fullness. The result of preference test was as following. naked waxy barley sikhye and naked barley sikhye had best outlook. In the smell, amethyst barley sikhye was the best. regarding texture, naked barley sikhye and naked waxy barley sikhye had high preference. In overall preference, naked barley sikhye was the best. Like above, there were differences in quality in sikhyes dependent on the variety of barley. In particular, tetrastichum waxy barley and naked barley will be able to increase the amount of sweetness without malt production during sikhye.
