In order to study ecology of microorganisms during Takju brewing, microflora changes were examined fromm the start to the sixth day of Takju fermentation in 24 hours intervals. Takju made from rice, flour and dried sweet potato in a liter volume open container at the laboratory and a sanple of Takju brewing factory were studied for their microflora and their changes during fermentationl together with a sample of Kokja. Results obtained were as follows ; 1. The followings were the identified microorganisms in Kokja. The molds ; Absidia spinosa, Aspergillus parasiticus. The yeasts ; Candida melinii, Candida Solani, Hansenula anomala. The bacteria ; Luctobacillus casei, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus. 2. Torulopsis inconspicua, Lactobacillus casei, Leuconotoc mesenteroides, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus were isolated from main mash of laboratory-made Takju samples. The yeast, Torupsis inconspicua which was not present in Kokja and, probably of a contaminant yeast, dominated the yeast flora of Takju mash of rice, flour and sweet potato of labotatory brewing. The laboratory brewing lost also always showed large population of lactic acid bacteria flora. 3. None of the wild yeasts which were present in Kokja appeared in Takju mashes. The Kokja appears to be of no use as the yeast source for Takju fermentation. Also the Kokja appears to be of not so effective amylolytic and proteolytic enzyme sources considering the microflora characteristics. Probably the major role of Kokja in Takju fermentation may be to contribute in taste formation. 4. Inoculation of Sacharomyces cerevisiae into the mash to the level of $10^7$ ml at the start of fermentation greatly changed the ecological aspects eliminating conditions of rather slow rising of natural contaminant yeast populaiton and fermentation which might give rise to prosperity of lactic acid and Bacillus bacteria that would be avoidable. 5. Examination of microflora of the large factory scale Takju fermentation showed the quite similar pattern of microflora and their changes to that of the cultured yeast-inoculated laboratory batch Takju fermentation. The cultured yeast dominated as the only predominant microflora, and the lactic acid bacteria flora were completely suppressed and aerobic bacteria, greatly. Probably this may be the regular microflora pattern of normal Takju fermentation. The role of lactic acid bacteria and aerobic bacteria in Takju fermentation may not be clear yet from this experiment alone.

During transportation and preservation of Takju, alcohol fermentation has continued to produce $C0_2$ from residual sugar and frequently spoiled owing to bacterial contaminants wich produce organic acids. The authors could preserve Takju for more than 50 days at room temperature by pasteurization without any changes of quality. For the optimal condition of pasteurization, fresh Takju was heated at various temperatures and times. D-Value of the Saccharomyces sp. which isolated from Takju collected at seoul area was 19 see at $55^{\circ}C$. Non-spore forming bacterial contaminants, most of which known to cause acid-spoilage, were decreased when heated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. The optimal pasteurization condition of Takju was at $55^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Spore forming bacterial contaminants, considered to be EuciiLw sp., were not sterilized after pasteurized at the optimal condition. However, the spore-forming bacteria could not increase any more and also not cause increment of acidity during preservation even at room temperature for 50 days. Reducing sugar was increased during storage of Takju after pasteurization. This suggests that the residual glucoamylase in Takju is still active after pasteurizsation and keep sweet taste.

The purpose of this research was to investigate consumption and satisfaction of Takju (Makgeolli) among consumers ages 20 to 29 living in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. It was found that 86.2% of the respondents drank Takju once or twice a month, and the high satisfaction group drank Takju with a frequency of 8 times a month (P<0.01). Respondents selected market (44.4%) and restaurants (34.9%) as the most common place of purchase, whereas pub (42.2%) and Takju bar (32.8%) were the drinking places selected. Regarding the preferred ingredients, respondents liked pear the most followed by Lycium chinense, corn, pine nuts, ginseng, and citrus fruit. The most compatible foods with Takju were identified as Buchimgae (Jeon) (97.4%), Kimchi (45.6%), Bokkeum (36.4%), Namul & Muchim (25.0%), and Jjim (21.5%). Pajeon was mentioned as the most compatible food with Takju, followed by Bulgogi, Gamjatang, Agwijjim, Dubukimchibokkeum, and Ojingeotwigim. Regarding consumers' satisfaction of Takju, taste was the most highly valued, with color, price, alcohol content, function, flavor, diversity of raw materials, and accuracy of label also highly considered. Further, to formulate a plan to encourage consumption of Takju, the high satisfaction group decided that promotion of local festivals and events related to Takju, standardization of quality, creation of brands, expansion of distribution network, and organization of relevant departments are the most important compared to other items (P<0.05).

The principal objective of this study was to assess the radical scavenging activities and total polyphenols, flavonoids, and flavonol contents of takju, a Korean traditional rice wine. The antioxidant properties of the wine and takju samples were evaluated using five distinct assays: specifically, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS); hydroxyl; superoxide anion; and nitric oxide (NO) radical-scavenging activity assays. In this study, the takju evidenced strong scavenging activities against the hydroxyl, superoxide anion, and NO radicals. Furthermore, the total polyphenol contents of T-2 were similar to those previously observed in white wine (p<0.05). However, the flavonoids and flavonol contents of all takju samples were significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of white wine. The results of this study show that takju possesses a powerful radical scavenging activity against a variety of oxidative systems. The findings of this study also indicate that takju should be considered a useful antioxidant, and that their functional compound reduces oxidative stress.

The purpose of this study was to develop measures for establishing and enforcing legal nutrition labeling for Takju based on results from consumer awareness surveys, statistical model development, and evaluation of nutrients. The statistical model developed with consumer survey results showed that consumers would like to know the nutrients they intake from drinking Takju, as their awareness about Takju was low. Specifically, consumers would like to see information regarding alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, and saccharides on the label. Structural equations from the research model showed that consumers who had some knowledge of Takju also had positive thoughts of the nutrition fact labels for Takju. Evaluation of nutrients in Takju showed that the starch sources and other ingredients used in Takju fermentation did not influence nutrient facts, and nutrient concentrations also varied among the different Takju. In addition, this research suggests methods for consumers to make reasonable selections and to inform them of the nutrition fact labeling for Takju. Benners and pop-up were manufactured to promote voluntary participation of companies and to provide nutrition facts from Takju. Eventually, a measure was suggested to establish and enforce nutrition labeling, using results from consumer and nutrient surveys of Takju.
