In recent years Mag-Geol-Li is becoming popular again and the consumption layer of Mag-Geol-Li is definitely younger. Nowadays, Mag-Geol-Li is the main traditional alcohol and without consideration of ages and genders whoever can enjoy Mag-Geol-Li. Producers should ensure fair price of goods and improve production facilities to maximize products to meet the needs of consumers who will buy. In the studies I discuss about the ways to improve the distribution of Mag-Geol-Li, the theories about Mag-Geol-Li, Social backgrounds and effects of Mag-Geol-Li why it is becoming popular and improvement of the distribution structure of Mag-Geol-Li and impact of big Mag-Geol-Li company in Mag-Geol-Li industry. Lately, people can enjoy Mag-Geol-Li without burden because of low alcohol. It is gaining a good response by consumers because Mag-Geol-Li contains lactobacillus, yeasts and dietary fiber, also it is well balanced with nutritional aspects. There are not only huge factory to produce Mag-Geol-Li but also most are still cottage industry. Therefore, quality management does not work well because the majority of Mag-Geol-Li is small businesses. In spite of there are a lot of ways to improve the distribution structure and problems of Mag-Geol-Li, but none provide any improvement that make consumer awareness about the main cause of the problem is inaccurate. The ultimate goal of improving the distribution structure of Mag-Geol-Li is activating the market, the improvement of production facilities and safe for consumers with affordable price and good quality product. As mentioned above, to improve and change the logistics systems and hygiene, government support is required and Mag-Geol-Li companies should be recognized the distribution system as a major problem.

Normal alcoholic fermentation took place at $20-25^{\circ}C$ in yakju (traditional Korean rice wine) prepared without the addition of protease (non-addition group). The total concentration of organic acids increased by 1.0-2.7 fold in the non-addition group. While the concentration of lactic acid and acetic acid increased, the pyroglutamic acid concentration decreased by 51.1 fold. Consequently, the total acidity and volatile acid concentration increased, and the overall pH decreased. Compared to the addition group, the non-addition group showed a 3.0-5.2 fold increase in the amount of amino acids; however, the total estimated concentrations of free-form amino acids were 5.2-11.9 times lower than those in the latter group. The major amino acids found in the non-addition group were alanine, arginine, leucine, and phenylalanine. The yakju preparation from the non-addition group showed a 1.2-3.0 fold decrease in the final color intensity as compared to that from the addition group.

This study is to isolate and identify ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid (GABA) producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Makgeolii, traditional Korean rice wine and then establish the optimal culture conditions for GABA production. Sixty four LAB from Makgeolli were isolated according to the characteristics of the shape and color of the colony grown on MRS agar plate. The GABA production of the isolated strain cultured in MRS broth contained 1% MSG (mono-sodium glutamate) were determined and evaluated by TLC and HPLC analysis. Strain B-134 was selected for highest GABA production. From the analysis of 16S rRNA and glutamate decarboxylase B (gadB) gene sequences, strain B-134 was tentatively identified as a Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum B-134. Effects of culture parameters, including glutamic acid level, culture temperature, NaCl level, and pH on GABA production were investigated for culture optimization. The optimum culture condition for GABA production by B-134 were culture temperature of $37^{\circ}C$, pH of 5.7, NaCl content of 0% (w/v) and MSG content of 3% (w/v), which produced 25 mM of GABA during cultivation time of 48 hr. From these results, strain B-134 is expected to be utilized as useful microorganisms for GABA-enriched health beneficial food.

This study's purpose was to investigate the characteristics of a traditional Korean rice wine containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB), called makgeolli. The makgeolli was brewed with the alcohol-tolerant Pediococcus acidilactici strain K3, and was analyzed for LAB cell counts, alcoholic content, turbidity, pH, total acidity, amino nitrogen, total sugars, reducing sugars, solid contents, and organic acids. The physicochemical properties of the makgeolli were mostly maintained during fermentation (9 d) and storage (15 d). We also monitored the properties of LAB-supplemented commercial makgeollies, after adding P. acidilactici K3 at a concentration of $10^7CFU/ml$ makgeolli, for one month. Most of their properties, such as alcoholic content, turbidity, pH, total acidity, amino nitrogen, total sugars, reducing sugars, solid contents, and organic acids, were preserved during storage at $10^{\circ}C$, suggesting that makgeolli supplemented with live LAB can be produced. These results suggest that alcohol-tolerant P. acidilactici K3 can be used for makgeolli brewing either as a starter or as a supplement.

In order to find the reason for souring of Hansan sogokju (Korean traditional rice wine), microbial distribution, pH change and organic acids were analysed. Besides 161 mM of lactic acid as a major organic acid, small amount of acetic acid, malic acid, propionic acid were found in sogokju. Four different microbial strains were identified from the sogokju. These are two strains of Lactobacillus spp., Bacillus sp. and yeast. The pH of sogokju was changed from 4.01 to 3.29 during 18 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$. Amount of total acidity increased from 9 to 34.86 at the same condition. Notable change in the soured sogokju was an increase of the lactic acid (from 161 mM to 192 mM). So, we could assume that it was soured by an additional production of lactic acid by lactic acid bacteria during storage. The shelf life of sogokju was 41 days below $15^{\circ}C$ degree because this temperature was hard condition for the growth of Lactobacillus spp., causative bacteria responsible for additional lactic acid production.

Different amounts of the Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten fruit were soaked in different alcohol concentrations of a Korean rice wine distillate for 4 months. Changes in pH, brix degree, contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol compound, alcohol concentration, turbidity, and color were analyzed during the soaking period. Quality of the final product was determined through the analysis of the volatile flavor compounds and sensory evaluation. During the soaking periods, pH, alcohol concentration, and contents of polyphenol compound decreased, whereas the content of reducing sugar increased. These changes were affected more by the content of the fruit than the alcohol concentration of the soaking media. Turbidity of the wine increased with higher fruit contents, while the increase of alcohol concentration resulted in the turbidity decrease. As the soaking period increased, lightness and yellowness increased but redness decreased. Acetaldehyde, acetyl acetone, ethyl alcohol, guaiacol, thymol, and acetic acid phenyl ester were detected in all liquors. Significant differences in all sensory attributes test were shown by six experimental groups (p<0.05), and the best overall acceptability was obtained from the liquor made of 67% fruits and 30% alcohol concentration.

The rhizomes of Polygonatum odoratum(Dunggulle in korean name) have been used as a traditional medicine for a tonic, remedy of fevers of influenza, cough and lung trouble. In this experiment, water extract of Dunggulle was added in brewing korean traditional rice wine. Fermentation characteristics such as content of total acid, pH, temperature, total sugar and alcohol concentration were investigated during fermentation periods. Changes of fermentation characteristics were remarkable in the initial period(0~3 days), slow in the middle(4~6 days), and almost unchangeable in the final(7~10 days). Total acid content was remarkably increased during the initial period but slowly decreased afterward. As the content of Dunggulle extract is increased, total sugar content was slightly increased. At the first day of fermentation, total sugar content was 19.6% in control, 22.6, 23.3 and 25.6% in Dunggulle extract 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% added group, respectively. In the initial period, content of alcohol in control was highest than in Dunggulle extract added group. The content of alcohol in 4 kinds of wine showed highest value at the sixth day and those of control and Dunggulle extract 2.5% were 16.0, 16.1%, respectively. Sensory evaluation in taste was not significantly different among control and Dunggulle extract added group.

Sourdough is made by fermentation of dough by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast to improve bread properties like volume, flavor, and texture. A Korean traditional sourdough was made by fermenting rice flour with rice wine (makgeolli) and used to make sponge-like bread (jeung-pyun). The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial diversity of makgeolli products and their influence on the organoleptic quality of jeung-pyun. Three commercial makgeolli were tested for jeung-pyun production, with each product exhibiting varied dough swelling rates and organoleptic qualities, and among them, J-product was ranked highest in texture and taste. Microbial analysis of the three makgeolli also showed a big difference in their population and diversity. J-product had the highest LAB and yeast counts, and the predominant species were Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc pseudomenteroides, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using J-product, sourdough was fermented at $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$, and the microbial growth in and textural properties of jeung-pyun were examined by instrumental and sensory tests. At high temperature ($35^{\circ}C$), the rates of dough swelling and acidification were fast due to rapid microbial growth mainly caused by LAB, resulting in a short leavening time and soft and sour jeung-pyun. Sensory tests showed consumer preference for the soft and mild-sour jeung-pyun. This study shows that LAB in makgeolli play key roles in production of jeung-pyun, influencing the textural and sensory properties. For the production of high-quality jeung-pyun, development of LAB starters with high gas productivity and low acidity and establishment of an optimal fermentation procedure for rice dough are necessary.

Rice wine (makgeolli) containing various amounts of mountain ginsengs (MG) are being prepared with nuruk and yeasts, and the physicochemical characteristics and contents of ginsenosides in MG-makgeolli were analyzed. Average particle size of MG powder is $29.1{\mu}m$. MG slice (20 g) or powder (0~20 g) and rice (3,000 g) were used for 12 days fermentation of makgeolli, makgeolli containing slice of MG (SW-makgeolli), makgeolli containing 2 g (PW1-makgeolli), 10 g (PW2- makgeolli), 20 g (PW3-makgeolli) of powder of MG, respectively. Soluble solids and pH levels show no differences between five kinds of makgeolli groups, whilst the presence of high amounts of MG (PW3-makgeolli) caused decreases in ethanol and acidity. Major free amino acids in MG-makgeolli are glutamic acid and arginine. Total contents of 14 ginsenosides are approximately 2.5 g/100 g of dried MG powder and major ginsenoside were ginsenosides Re, Rb1, Rb2, Rg1, Rc and Rf. During the propagation of makgeolli containing MG, the ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, and Rc decreased, whilst ginsenosides Rg3 and compound K increased highly. It indicates that ginsenosides in MG are metabolized to different forms of ginsenosides by brewing microorganisms.
