Abstract
Effects of clarification and aging of honey wine(mead) and fruit honey wine(melomel) were investigated. Among the clarifiers tested, 'kaki shibu' and 'sake light' were effective in clearing honey wine. Clear honey wine with more than 90% light transmittance was obtained by treatment with $0.05{\sim}0.1%$ of 'kaki shibu' and 'sake light' for 2 days. Higher concentration of these clarifying agents was needed for the clarification of fruit honey wines. Treatment with 0.5% of 'sake light' and $0.05{\sim}0.1%$ of 'kaki shibu' for 4 days was effective for clearing Tangerine honey wine and Japanese apricot honey wine. Though Hunter L-values of honey wines decreased a little bit by using clarifiers, their light transmittance became more than 98% after ultrafiltration. As the content of soluble solid in mash at the beginning of fermentation increased, the content of acetaldehyde, n-propyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol and iso-amyl alcohol of honey wine increased during aging, while the content of iso-propyl alcohol decreased. During the aging of honey wines, the sensory quality of them became milder as the amount of acetaldehyde and fusel oil decreased. Among more than twenty different volatile flavor components detected from honey wines, 1-phenyl ethyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenyl ethyl alcohol, octacosane and triacotane were identified as the major components for the flavor of honey wines. Sensory evaluation of the honey wines indicated that the melomel made with Japanese apricot was better than the Tangerine melomel in the aspects of taste, flavor, color and the overall acceptability. Tangerine melomel was even inferior to honey wine(mead).
맑고 풍미 있는 벌꿀주 생산을 위하여 벌꿀주의 청징조건과 숙성조건을 조사하였다. 벌꿀주의 청징은 kaki shibu와 sake light를 $0.05{\sim}0.1%$ 첨가하여 실온에서 2일 간 처리하여 광투과도 90% 이상인 맑은 벌꿀주를 얻어졌으나, 벌꿀 과실주는 감귤주의 경우 sake light 0.5%, 매실주는 kaki shibu $0.05{\sim}0.1%$를 첨가하여 4일간 처리할 때 양호하였다. 벌꿀 과실주를 미세여과하여 광투과도 98% 이상의 맑은 제품을 얻을 수 있었으나. 청징제 처리에 의하여 벌꿀주의 Hunter-L값은 저하 하였다. 발효시 가용성 고형분 함량이 높을수록 벌꿀주의 acetaldehyde와 n-propyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol함량은 증가하였으나 iso-propyl alcohol함량은 감소 하였다. 벌꿀주는 숙성으로 acetaldehyde와 fusel oil함량이 감소하여 관능적으로 부드러워졌다. 벌꿀주는 20여개의 휘발성 향기성분 중 l-phenyl ethyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenyl ethylalcohol, octacosane, triacotane이 주성분을 이루었다. 벌꿀 매실주는 관능적으로 맛, 색, 항기, 전체적인 기호도에서 모두 벌꿀 감귤주에 비하여 양호 하였으며, 벌꿀 감귤주는 벌꿀주 보다도 기호도가 낮았다.
