Abstract

Alcoholic fermentations with rice koji [Aspergillus awamori Nakazawa KCCM 60246 (black), Aspergillus kawachii KCCM 32819 (white), Aspergillus oryzae KCCM 11372 (yellow)] and improved nuruk were carried out for the preparation of sweet potato soju using two different potato cultivars (Jinhongmi and Hobak). The Jinhongmi mashes showed $9.2-11.4^{\circ}Brix$, 195.6-260.5 mg glucose/100 mL, pH 4.6-4.9, 0.53-0.83% acidity and 13.2-16.2% alcohol content. The Hobak mashes showed $7.0-8.4^{\circ}Brix$, 31.9-47.4 mg glucose/100 mL, pH 4.4-4.7, 0.22-0.24% acidity, and 9.6-11.2% alcohol content. The alcohol yield of the Jinhongmi mashes using black, white, yellow koji and improved nuruk were 229.2, 194.5, 238.6 and 229.3 L/ton, respectively. The alcohol yields of Hobak mashes using black, white, yellow koji and improved nuruk were 132.8, 144.4, 141.6 and 167.4 L/ton, respectively. All types of sweet potato soju showed stronger flavor and taste than Kurokirishima (Japanese sweet potato soju). Especially, soju made from Jinhongmi with white koji and Jinhongmi with improved nuruk showed the strongest levels. Flavor components of sweet potato soju included decanoic acid ethylester, dodecanoic acid ethylester, tetradecanoic acid ethylester, hexadecanoic acid ethylester, 9-octadecanoic acid ethylester, and octadecanoic acid ethylester. Although the flavor profiles of Jinhongmi soju, Hobak soju, and Kurokirishima were very similar, the flavor content of Kurokirishima soju was lower. The results of the GC volatile analysis were in good correlation with flavor and taste.

진홍미와 호박고구마, 흑국, 백국, 황국, 개량누룩을 사용하여 고구마 소주를 제조하였다. 최종 술덧의 성상은 진홍미의 경우 $^{\circ}Brix$는 9.2-11.4, 환원당 195.6-260.5 mg glucose/100 mL, pH 4.6-4.9, 산도 0.53-0.83%, 알코올 함량 13.2-16.2%이었고, 호박고구마의 경우 $^{\circ}Brix$는 7.0-8.4, 환원당 31.9-47.4 mg glucose/100 mL, pH 4.4-4.7, 산도 0.22-0.24%, 알코올 9.6-11.2% 이었다. 알코올 수 득량(L/ton)은 진홍미의 경우 흑국, 백국, 황국, 개량누룩에서 각각 229.2, 194.5, 238.6, 229.3 L/ton, 호박고구마의 경우 132.8, 144.4, 141.6, 167.4 L/ton이었다. 향과 맛에 대한 관능평가에 있어서 대부분의 고구마 소주가 일본산 고구마 소주인 쿠로기리시마 보다 좋은 평가를 얻었다. 특히 향은 진홍미 흑국(3.75)과 호박고구마의 개량누룩(3.78)이, 맛은 진홍미 흑국(3.0)과 호박의 흑국(3.0)이 가장 강하였다. 또한 고구마 소주의 향기성분은 decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, 9-octadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid ethylester류가 대부분의 피크면적율을 차지하고 있었으며, 쿠로기리시마 소주의 향기성분은 종류는 유사하였으나 대체적으로 피크 면적율이 적었다.
