Abstract
In this study, the fermentation characteristics of Yakju were investigated by addition of protein and lipid. These are classified according to raw material (rice, glucose) and inducing substance (rice protein, rice lipid). Alcoholic fermentation occurred at $25^{\circ}C$, after 14 days. The results of this study were as follows: Alcohol content of Yakju with rice protein was higher than those of other samples. The pH and glucose of rice Yakju were detemied to be 4.86~5.13 and 4.17~4.86, respectively. Titratable acid and the total amino acid content of the Yakju with rice protein were the highest among other samples. The optical density contents of the rice Yakju and glucose Yakju were 0.52~0.653 and 0.27~0.61, respectively. The concentration of organic acids in rice Yakju (433.98~519.31 mg%) was higher than that of glucose Yakju (303.76~387.50 mg%). The major organic acid components of the Yakju were succinic, citric, acetic and lactic acids. The nitrogen compound concentrations of rice Yakju (4377.38~10208.06 ppm) was higher than that of glucose Yakju (671.20~9368.93 ppm). The protein odor correlation coefficient was 0.98 (p<0.001) showing a very high correlation coefficient, while lipid odor coefficient showed a negative correlation with -0.038 (p<0.458).
본 연구에서는 약주 이취 원인물질을 알아보기 위해 단백질과 쌀지방을 첨가하여 약주를 제조하고 확인하였다. 알코올 함량은 쌀약주의 대조구가 14.5%, 단백질 첨가구 14.2%, 지방 첨가구 13.4%로 지방첨가에 의해서 알코올 농도가 낮아졌다. 포도당 약주에도 지방 첨가에 의해서 알코올 농도가 25.2% 감소하였다. 총산(succinic acid, %)은 단백질 첨가에 의해서 쌀약주가 0.33에서 0.48%로 포도당약주는 0.34에서 0.57% 증가하였고 총 아미노산 함량도 각각 0.67, 0.15%(as glycine)에서 1.48 및 1.29%로 증가하였다. 유기산은 succinic acid와 citric acid의 함량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 유리 질소화합물의 함량은 단백질 첨가에 의해서 각각 4,377.38, 699.35 ppm에서 10,208.06과 9,368.93 ppm으로 상승하였다. 주요 유리 질소화합물 성분으로는 arginine, glutamic acid, leucine, alanine이 총량의 8.17~10.40%의 범위로 가장 높게 나타났다. 단백질은 이취에 대하여 0.98(p<0.001)의 높은 상관계수를 보였고 지방은 -.038(p<0.458)로 음의 상관성을 나타내었다.
