This study was conducted to investigate the properties of rice makgeolli stored with different quantities of Cheonnyuncho fermentative extract (1%, 3%, 5%). Plain rice makgeolli(control)and cheonnyuncho-containing rice makgeolli(cheonnyuncho makgeolli) were stored and ripened for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days at $5^{\circ}C$. The mineral contents of cheonnyuncho Makgeolli was higher than that of rice makgeolli. At the end of storage periods, the pH value of 1% cheonnyuncho makgeolli was higher than that of rice makgeolli. Of the major organic acids found in cheonnyuncho makgeolli (succinic, lactic, acetic, phosphoric, and malic), succinic acid had the highest concentration. Similarly, of all the free sugars, glucose was the most prominent. Before storage, hunter color L and b values were the highest in control followed by 1%, 3% and 5% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. At the end of storage period, color a value decreased in 1% cheonnyuncho makgeolli, whereas it increased in 3% and 5% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. The antioxidative effect of makgeolli was seen in 3% cheonnyuncho makgeolli. Total viable counts were the lowest in 3% cheonnyuncho makgeolli at the end of storage periods. A sensory evaluation test showed that the taste of cheonnyuncho-containing makgeolli was significantly better than that of control. From these results, we conclude that addition of cheonnyuncho fermentative extract at a concentration of 1-3% is suitable for the manufacturing of makgeolli products.

This study aimed to characterize and compare makgeolli (a Korean rice wine) made using different raw materials. Five cultivars of rice and wheat flour were used as starch materials for makgeolli and assessed for their moisture, crude lipid, crude protein, and crude dietary fiber content. Overall, wheat flour was higher in crude lipid and crude protein and lower in moisture than rice. Makgeolli characteristics were assessed for pH, total acids, organic acids, free sugars, color and appearance. We found no significant differences in pH and total acids between makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour. In addition, the major free sugar in the makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour was glucose, although the content of total free sugars was lower in the wheat flour makgeolli (67.75 mg/mL) than the rice makgeolli (76.41~84.53 mg/mL). In terms of organic acids content, the total organic acid content was highest in the wheat flour makgeolli, while the major organic acids of the makgeolli made from rice and wheat flour were lactic acid and succinic acid, respectively. There were no significant differences in color values among rice makgeolli, but the rice makgeolli was higher in sensory scores (indicating preference) than the wheat flour makgeolli. As the degree of milling increased, moisture, crude lipid, and crude protein in the rice decreased. Acetic acid in the makgeolli also decreased, while there were no significant differences in pH, total acids, free sugars, color values, and sensory scores (except fruitiness). Traditional nuruk (TN) and cultured nuruk (CN) were compared as fermentation starters. Nuruk is a Korean traditional starter for fermentation of makgeolli and a raw material for makgeolli making. The pH in the makgoelli made with TN and CN were 4.29~4.65 and 4.02~4.23, respectively. Total organic acid content was higher in the TN makgeolli (3.5~6.3 mg/mL) compared to the CN makgeolli (2.3~4.3 mg/mL). The content of free sugars in the makgeolli made with CN was higher (59.44~73.34 mg/mL) than that with TN (56.45~59.75 mg/mL). The Hunter color test showed that makgeolli made with TN was lighter and higher in red and yellow color compared to CN. Overall sensory acceptability was higher in the CN makgeolli compared to the TN makgeolli.

For the production of Korea traditional cereal wine makgeolli, a rice fermentation starter nuruk was Rhizopus oryaze CCS01 commercial nuruk. The carbohydrate content of rice nuruk was higher, the levels of moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat were lower. In particular, the saccharifying activity of rice nuruk was 2.2 times higher than commercial nuruk. pH, alcohol, and viable yeast cells of makgeolli made rice nuruk were higher than those of makgeolli made commercial nuruk. In contrast, the levels of acidity, $^{\circ}Brix$, viable lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cells, and browning of makgeolli made rice nuruk were lower than those of makgeolli made commercial nuruk, the alcohol content of glutinous rice (GUR) makgeolli made rice nuruk higher other samples. These results suggest that rice nuruk R. oryzae CCS01 make new type cereal makgeolli.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the physicochemical and microbiological properties of Korean traditional rice wine, Makgeolli, supplemented with black garlic extract during fermentation. Black garlic extract was diluted with distilled water to produce 0.5% and 1.0% black garlic solutions. Those solutions were then used to make rice solutions which included 2 kg rice, 40 g Nuruk (a fermentation starter), and 14 g yeast. After being mixed, the rice solutions were fermented for 7 days in a water bath at $28^{\circ}C$. The alcohol contents of the control, 0.5% and 1.0% black garlic Makgeolli were 16.9, 16.0, and 16.2%, respectively. Total acidity, total soluble solids, and color increased throughout the fermentation process. There was an increase of microorganisms throughout the fermentation period in all the samples. Glucose was the highest free sugar, and succinic acid was the highest organic acid detected in all the samples. Thirty nine volatile compounds were detected in black garlic Makgeolli.

Goami2, Goami3 and Goami4 were identified as fiber-rich rice cultivars which were developed by mutation breeding with Ilpum. The purpose of this study was to develop a method for producing Makgeolli with the fiber-rich rice cultivars, Goami2, Goami3, Goami4, and to investigate the characteristics of Makgeolli during the fermentation process. Makgeolli was produced herein by fermentation steamed rice (SR), raw rice flour (RF), and steamed rice flour (SF) from Goami2, Goami3, Goami4, Ilpum and Sealgaeng rice cultivars. The physicochemical characteristics including alcohol and sugar content, pH, total acidity, TDF (total dietary fiber), and color of the Makgeolli samples were analyzed. Makgeolli produced with Ilpum and Sealgaeng showed satisfactory fermention characteristics in alcohol and sugar content when SR, RF and SF were used. In the case of Goami2, Goami3, and Goami4, the use of SF resulted in 17.2~20.1% alcohol content, whereas only 10% alcohol was produced by SR. The sugar contents in the SF-makgeolli samples were also higher ($9{\sim}10^{\circ}Brix$) than in the SR-makgeolli ($5.35{\sim}5.44^{\circ}Brix$) for Goami2 and Goami4 cultivars. The dietary fiber contents of the Makgeolli samples produced using SF from the fiber-rich rice cultivars were higher (1.35~1.52 g/100 mL) than those produced with Ilpum and Sealgaeng (0.74~0.87 g/100 mL). From these results, it may be suggested that SF would be an appropriate material to brew Makgeolli using fiber-rich rice cultivars to obtain better physicochemical and functional qualities.

In this study, to develop a higher value-added makgeolli, the Korean traditional rice wine were made of four kinds of raw material cereals (wheat flour, puffed rice, non-glutinous rice, and glutinous rice). To investigate the development potential of makgeolli as functional materials, their physicochemical characteristics, phenol, flavonoid, and vitamin contents, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) radical scavenging activity were evaluated. Puffed rice makgeolli and non-glutinous rice makgeolli among four types of makgeolli were higher contents of alcohol (16-16.5%). Of four types of makgeolli, puffed rice makgeolli showed 5.2±0.06 mg GAE/mL, the highest level content of total phenol, and flavonoid contents of them were similarly high, with a level of 470-490 ㎍ QE/mL. Puffed rice makgeolli containing the highest level content of total phenol resulted in 81.5%, the highest activity of ABTS radical scavenging. These results suggest that puffed rice may be an effective raw material for makgeolli to be developed the antioxidant functional materials.

To improve of the quality of Korea traditional wheat-rice wine (makgeolli) production, we used a rice fermentation starter (rice nuruk) made by inoculation of Rhizopus oryzae CCS01 which was isolated and selected from commercial nuruk. Amylase activity of a rice nuruk was 1.8-2.4 times higher than those of commercial nuruks. The best acceptability of wheat-rice wine in a sensory test was observed at 4 : 6 ratio of wheat-rice mash at experimental condition. During the fermentation period, pH of wheat-rice makgeolli made with a rice nuruk was higher compared to those made with commercial nuruks such as Sanseong, Jinju, and Songhak. Acidity of makgeolli mash was lower in case of using a rice nuruk and birx and alcohol production were higher compared to those of makgeolli mash using commercial nuruks. Highest alcohol production was observed at makgeolli mash using a rice nuruk and 12% of alcohol was produced at fermentation end. These results suggest that production of a new type of wheat-rice makgeolli using a rice nuruk was possible.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of Makgeolli (a traditional Korean rice wine) made with Etteum bell flower root (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% with steamed rice) during fermentation. The pH values of Makgeolli with Etteum bell flower root powder decreased after 3 days of fermentation and then increased after 5 days of fermentation. Sugar content decreased after 3 days of fermentation. Color evaluation showed the L values of these drinks decreased during fermentation, whereas a and b values both increased. The alcohol content of Makgeolli increased after fermentation, reaching a maximum concentration of 7.90-8.07% by the end of fermentation. Total phenolic compound contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities increased as the ratio of Etteum bell flower root increased. Sensory scores of Makgeolli fermented with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root ware greater than those of Makgeolli prepared by other treatments. Therefore, Makgeolli added with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root added considered to be the most suitable for manufacturing.

This study was performed to elucidate the fermentation and sensory characteristics of Korean traditional rice wine, makgeolli, made from GABA rice, which has a high content of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA rice is a brown rice that is not easily fermented by general makgeolli manufacturing methods. Thus, the Geupchungju method, which is a Korean traditional manufacturing method for makgeolli using a fermentation starter and additional malt, was considered for making makgeolli from GABA rice. We confirmed that Geupchungju method showed a high saccharification and stable alcohol fermentation ability in the early stages of fermentation. However, malt addition more than 2% resulted in a lower score in the sensory evaluation of the final product. It was also confirmed that GABA content of GABA makgeolli was higher than that of commercial makgeolli by 2.3-fold. Our result provides useful information toward improving quality of brown rice makgeolli.
