Abstract
Physicochemical properties of marketing and intensive persimmon vinegar were investigated, the results are as following; Total acidity in D, H, S, J, sweet persimmon(SP) and persimmon vinegar were 4.20, 3.03, 2.58, 3.30, 5.92 and 5.81%, respectively, and the value of intensive persimmon(IP) vinegars wre higher than that of others. SP sample was lower than any other vinegar as compared to L value in colors, no sample was lower than H and S vinegar inturbidity and browning. Brix of IP samples were lower than that of other vinegars, there was a little fructose in the all samples. Among the organic acids, galacturonic acid content except acetic acid was the highest, and ascorbic and malic acid were detected a little, Calium content was the highest of minerals in persimmon vinegars, phosphorus was detected a little. Alcohols of 5~6 types were analyzed in each samples, free amino acids of 17~24 dypes were analyzed, D and IP vinegars have more acohols and amino acids, and their contents were higher than the others. Volatile components of 6~9 types were analyzed in each samples, these have more ethanols except acetic acids than other volatile components, and the contents of IP samples were higher than that of marketing persimmon vinegars.
