Abstract

A palatable paste-type lactic fermented rice (LFR) was prepared by lactic acid fermentation after liquefaction and saccharification of cooked rice. A mixed culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (1 : 1) produced the LFR of the best quality. A great improvement in quality of the LFR was achieved by 0.02% each ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase treatment during the fermentation (simultaneous saccharification and fermentation), which resulted from the increased sourness and sweetness and the decreased size of solid particles contained in the LFR. The resulted LFR was superior in quality. Physical and chemical properties of the LFR were evaluated.

호화시킨 쌀을 액 당화한 후 젖산발효하고 균질화하여 호상 쌀젖산발효물을 제조하였다. 발효시 ${\alpha}$-아밀라제와 글루코아밀라제를 각각 0.02%수준으로 처리하여 2차 당화와 동시에 발효를 진행함으로써 쌀젖산발효물의 품질을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이들 효소처리에 의하여 쌀젖산발효물의 신맛과 단맛이 증대되었으며 꺼끌꺼끌한 촉감을 주는 불용성 고형물 입자의 크기가 감소하였다. 쌀젖산 발효물의 관능적 품질은 매우 양호하였으며 기호도가 높았다. 최적화된 공정에 의거하여 제조된 쌀젖산발효물의 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다.
