Glutinous rice Sikhye was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 10 day at 29$^{\circ}C$. Fermentable sugars such as maltose and maltotriose in glutinous rice Sikhye were converted into ethanol by the yeast, but limit dextrin was remained after the fermentation. fermentation rate of sugars in glutinous rice Sikhye was lower than that in rice Sikhye. Glutinous rice Sikhye wine was found to contain 7.3% of limit dextrin, 3.6% of ethanol, 0.35$\mu$mol/ml of amino acid, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of protein, and the acidity of the Sikhye showed 3.2, respectively, and its pH was 3.23. Limit dextrin in glutinous rice Sikhye wine showed both signal of $\alpha$-1, 4- and $\alpha$-1,6- glucisidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 5.6:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. The taste of rice Sikhye wine was similar that of wine.

Bench scale Sikhyes were produced from rice and glutinous rice and limit dextrins in rice Sikhye and glutinous rice Sikhye were purified by ethanol precipitation and Biogel P-2 gel chromatography and FPLC on Superose 12 column and analyzed. The purified limit dextrin in rice Sikhye and glutinous rice Sikhye showed bot signal of $\alpha$-1,4- and $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 4.5:1 and 5.9:1, respectively, by 1H-NMR analysis. Limit dextrins were hydrolyzed by pullulanase. The enzyme hydrolysis products contained maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose and matohexaose. These results suggest that limit dextrins were composed of these maltoolgosaccharide series with $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic bond.

Sikye was produced from glutinous rice. The glutinous rice Sikhye was found to contain 7.3% of limit dextrin, 10.1% of maltose, 1.3% of maltotriose and 1.75% of rice residue. Limit dextrin in glutinous rice Sikhye was purified by ethanol fractionation followed by gel chromatography on Biogel P-2. The purified limit dextrin showed both signal of $\alpha$-1,4- and $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 5:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. Limit dextrin was digested with enzymes(30units/ml) of $\alpha$-amylase, $\alpha$-glucosidase and glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori, sweet potato $\beta$-amylase and human salivary $\alpha$-amylase at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, respectively. Hydrolysis rates of these amylases on it were similar that of rice Sikhye. $\alpha$-Glucosidase plus human salivary $\alpha$-amylase hydrolyzed it to 18%. The results suggest that glutinous rice is more effective to produce high level of branched maltooligosaccharide compared with rice as raw material for Sikye making.
