Changes of Takju Qualities by Addition of Cyclodextrin during the Brewing and Aging

탁주 양조 중 Cyclodextrin의 첨가에 의한 주질 변화에 관한 연구

Cyclodextrin (CD), which is one of food additives, was applied to Takju in oder to suppress the production of a stinking odor which its brewing and storage. CD was added to Takju in two different manners: one right after its brewing dilution stage, the other during its second mashing stage. After equal intervals of time, each sample was tested for fermentation process, storage capability, and sensory characteristics. The amount of CD ranged from 0.1 to 0.3% (w/w). The effect of CD on alcohol concentration, pH, total acidity and sugar content of Takju was shown to be more greatly influenced in the second sample rather than the first. The qualities of Takju were not affected by the addition of CD in the first sample. The sensory evaluation showed that the sample of the brewing dilution stage proved to be more attractive in the level of acceptability. However, when CD was over-added to Takju, the degree of acceptability declined due to the fact that the over-addition of CD suppresses its unique taste and flavor.

식품첨가물의 일종인 cyclodextrin (CD)을 막걸리 저장중에 일어나는 이상 풍미(stinking odor)를 제거하기 위해 첨가하였다. CD는 탁주제조 후 제성직 후와 이단 담금시로 구분하여 $0.1{\sim}0.3%$ 범위에서 첨가하고 일정기간이 지난 뒤 각 시료의 발효상태와 저장성, 관능성 등을 검토하였다. 그 결과 CD를 제성한 후 첨가 하는 것보다 이단담금시에 첨가하는 것이 알코올 농도, pH, 총산, 당도에 더 많은 영향을 주었고 제성한 후에 첨가한 것은 큰 영향을 주지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 관능적인 면에서는 제성 후에 CD를 첨가하는 것이 선호도가 높게 나타났다. 그러나 CD를 많이 첨가한 경우(0.3%)에는 CD가 막걸리 자체의 고유향까지 은폐시켜 선호도를 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다.
