This study investigated changes in the quality of the Korean sparkling rice wine, 'Makgeolli' prepared by independent two-step fermentation and stored at 10, 15, and 25℃ for 91 days. The contents of total acid, volatile acid, and amino acidity increased as the storage period and temperature increased. The total acid content was 0.14% on day 0, and 0.33%, 0.35% and 0.40% at 91 days of storage at 10℃, 15℃, and 25℃, respectively. The pH was 3.86 on day 0 of storage and tended to decrease at all temperatures over the storage period, but the soluble solid and alcohol content did not significantly differ. Color significantly differed when stored at 15℃ and 25℃ (p<0.05), but not at 10℃. Consequently, the quality of 'Makgeolli' was altered during storage for 91 days, and the change was more rapid at higher storage temperatures. Key words:Makgeolli, independent two-step fermentation, storage, quality changes
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
