Fermentation characteristics of kwahaju (a typical Korean traditional alcoholic beverage) base were investigated during fermentation with different contents of nuruk (Korean-style bran koji) extract. The nuruk extract which was prepared by incubating the mixture of nuruk powder and water at $25^{\circ}C$ overnight and by filtering it was used to be 0.6%, 2.7%, 5% and 10% (v/v). Total and reducing sugar contents as well as acidity of the kwahaju base with 0.6% nuruk extract were higher than those with 2.7%, 5% and 10% at the fermentation end. Final pH values of all the base samples were ranged from 3.3 to 4.1. Alcohol concentrations of the base samples with 2.7%, 5% and 10% nuruk extract were higher than those with 0.6%. Microbial growth rate was great and inner temperature was high in the sample with high content of nuruk extract, but fermentation period was short. Total sugar consumption and alcohol production increased as the content of nuruk extract increased, but total acid production decreased. The base sample with 10% nuruk extract showed the most excellent fermentation efficiency. Fusel oil content of the base sample with 2.7% nuruk extract was the highest (457.3 ppm), and those wity 5% and 10% nuruk extract were 438.9 ppm and 442.6 ppm, respectively. The sample with 0.6% nuruk extract had the lowest content (409.5 ppm). Sensory evaluation of both the kwahaju base and kwahaju mix with 25% and 40% alcohol by adding soju (Korean distilled liquor) showed that the base with 2.7% nuruk extract had the highest score, and that the kwahaju mix with 25% alcohol had higher score than that with 40%. The sensory results on overall desirability were consistent to those on color and alcohol concentration, and it turned out that the two factors were important to make kwahaju.

Nuruk, which is a natural inoculator and source of amylolytic enzymes, is used in Korean traditional rice wine. A methanol extract of nuruk (NE) attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitrite and interleukin (IL)-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. Both the n-hexane and water fractions from NE (MEH and MW, respectively) inhibited the production of nitrite and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. MEH and MW also inhibited the LPS-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. Further, and MEH protected against the LPS-induced activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Together, these results indicate that nuruk may contribute to the anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive effects of Korean traditional rice wine.

In this study, the condition for preventing abnormal fermentation was set by heating the nuruk extract, such that glycosyl enzymes maintain its activity and unnecessary microbes are removed. The total colony of microbes in the heated nuruk extract was highest in number at $25^{\circ}C$ and began to reduce at 50, $60^{\circ}C$ and sharply reduced over $70^{\circ}C$. Saccharogenic power (SP), glucoamylase and acidic protease activities were highest at $50^{\circ}C$, 10, 20, 30min and ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was lower at $50^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$. In the pHs of the nuruk extract, as the heat temperature became higher and treatment time was longer, the pHs were reduced significantly. The total acidities of heat treatments at 50, $60^{\circ}C$ were lower by 0.2% than at $25^{\circ}C$, where as the 70, $80^{\circ}C$ treatments showed a sharp rise from the early stage of fermentation. Soluble solids showed the same aspects with the glycosyl enzymes cases. In reducing sugar, 25, $50^{\circ}C$ treatments were sharply increased from the first day of fermentation while $60^{\circ}C$ treatments began to rise from second day 70, $80^{\circ}C$ were slightly increased after the fourth day. The normally alcohol fermented treatments were 25, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$ 30min. The $70^{\circ}C$ treatments almost did not alcohol fermentation. In the preference tests, taste and total acceptability were high at 25, $50^{\circ}C$ treatments. These results suggest that makgeolli using heat treated nuruk extract also has good taste as well as did not.

무증자 개량누룩 추출물을 흡착처리한 쌀을 이용한 막걸리의 온도변화와 품질특성을 분석 하였다. 술덧 발효 기간 중 대조구에 비해 누룩물처리쌀에서 전반적으로 낮은 품온을 유지하였고, 술덧발효 5일차부터 상승하는 양상을 보였다. 처리구 모두 효모, 젖산균, 초산균의 colony 수는 발효 초기 증가하다가 2일 이후부터 점차 감소하였다. pH는 발효 초기 낮았으나 발효가 진행됨에 따라 발효 3일차부터 상승하기 시작 하여 최종적으로는 초기보다 높은 양상을 보였다. 총산함량은 발효 1일차까지 급격히 증가하다가 그 이후에는 변화가 미미하였다. 전체적으로, 아미노산도와 가용성 고형분은 발효가 진행됨에 따라 증가 하였으며, 환원당은 발효 초기 낮아지다가 1일차부터 증가하였다. 알코올 함량은 대조구는 1일차에 6.87%로 시작하여 점차 증가하였으며, 이에 비해 누룩물처리쌀의 경우 1일차부터 9~11%로 높은 알코올 함량을 보이며 점차 증가하다가 발효 5일차이후에는 알코올 발효가 종료되었다. 최종 발효 후 술덧 내 유기산은 lactic acid가 주를 이루었다. 기호도평가에서는 24, 48, 72시간 누룩물처리쌀이 다른 처리구에 비해 맛과 전반적인 기호도에 있어서 우수한 평가를 받았다.

누룩은 전 세계적으로도 독특한 우리만의 발효제로, 전분 당화 및 발효미생물의 접종원으로 이용된다. Rhizopus oryzae KSD-815로 제조된 개량누룩(R4로 명명)은 발효제 특성 이외에 암세포 생육억제, 항비만 활성 등이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 R4 누룩의 열수 및 ethanol 추출물과 이들의 순차적 유기용매 분획물을 조제하여 항혈전 활성을 평가한 결과, ethylacetate 분획에서 우수한 항응고 활성을 확인하였으며, 열수 추출물의 ethylacetate 및 butanol 분획은 인간 적혈구 용혈활성을 나타내지 않으면서 혈소판 응집저해 활성을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 R4 누룩이 항응고 및 혈소판 응집저해 개발의 유용자원으로 이용 가능함을 제시하고 있다.
