"Sujeonggwa" is a traditional korean beverage made from dried persimmon, cinnamon, and ginger and is often garnished with pine nuts. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the ingredients, recipes, and processing of "sujeonggwa" in Korean cookbooks published since 1400. The name sujeonggwa is derived from jeonggwa. In the early 1600s, sujeonggwa was used in ancestral rites and as a reception beverage, although we don't know its cooking method. According to the literature of the early 1800s, sujeonggwa was made from various fruit ingredients such as pear and yuzu. But since the late 1800s, it has been mostly made from dried persimmon based on ginger and cinnamon boiled with water. Garyeon-sujeonggwa is made with lotus leaf while japkwa-sujeonggwa is made with pear and yuzu. Japkwa-sujeonggwa is similar to hwachae in terms of ingredients and cooking method.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the recipes of Hwachae in Korean cookbooks published from the 1600's to 1940's. Methods: We conducted a content analysis of thirteen old cookbooks (Eumsikdimibang, Jubangmun, Jeungbosallimgyeongje, Kyugonyoram, Imwonsibyukji, Gyuhapchongseo, Sieuijeonseo, Buinpilji, Chosunyorijebub, Chosunmusangsinsikyorijebub, Ganpyeonchosunyorijebub, Chosunyori, Chosunyoribub). We collected a total of 99 recipes of Hwachae and analyzed the ingredients used and characteristics of the recipes according to five groups of Hwachae: noodle type Hwachae, dumpling type Hwachae, fruit Hwachae, flower Hwachae, and the others. Results: The noodle type Hwachae included Changmeyon, Smyeon, Nanmyeon, and Waemyeon. Mung bean (81.0%) and Schisandra (95.2%) were mostly employed as solid ingredient and as beverage base, respectively. In the noodle type Hwachae, Wonsobyeong and Sudan belonged to the dumpling type Hwachae, in which mung bean (51.7%) was mostly used as solid ingredient and just water without any additive was used as the most popular beverage base (62.1%) unlike in other types of Hwachae. There were various types of fruit Hwachae, which used different fruits as solid ingredient such as pear, peach, cherry, strawberry, etc. Pears (44.4%) have been employed as the most popular ingredient and sweets such as honey and sugar have been used in all the fruit Hwachae. The flower Hwachae included Hwamyeon, Sunchaehwachae, Jangmihwachae, and Bomhwachae. In all the flower Hwachae, schizandra has been used as a beverage base.

The jujube alcoholic beverage, one of Korean traditional wine was manufactured by varying the additional levels of jujube fruits from 1.89 to 7.57% on the basis of raw material and the quality of wine was anaylzed by physical, chemical and sensory evaluation. Fermentation temperature of wines Increased to the highest value of $24{\sim}26^{\circ}C$ in the 2nd day of fermentation. Jujube fruits effected the increase in total acid contents. Both reducing and total sugar contents were on the peak values of $13{\sim}53%$ and $43{\sim}51%$ after the 2nd brewing stage$(1{\sim}1.5day) and continuously decreased afterwards. Ethyl alcohol concentrations were rapidly increased In $1{\sim}3days$ of fermentation and their increasing rates were affected with the added amount of jujube. Amylase activity was on the highest value in $2{\sim}2.5{\;}days$ and decreased afterwards. According to the sensory evaluation of the overall quality Dacchusul could be classified into 2 groups. The superior group was composed of E, C, B, D and the inferior group included A and F. However the highest sensory quality was observed from E which was added at the level of 7.57% jujube fruit.

The types and processing characteristics of traditional non-alcoholic beverage and their historical backgrounds were surveyed through the old literatures published from the 8th century to 1940. A total of over 70 different names of beverages were found in the literature. They were classified into 10 groups according to their processing methods and quality characteristics; Sunda (green tea), Yusada (tea analog with/without green tea), Tang (boiled herb extract), Jang (lactic acid fermented rice beverage), Suksu (rice tea), Mium (cereal gruel), Misik (roasted cereal powder), Sikhe (sweet rice beverage saccharified with malt), Sujonggwa (ginger-fruit drink) and Hwachai (fruits drink). In the old literatures, there was non exist clear distinction between Jang, Tang, Chong and Tea. Lactic acid fermented rice beverage seemed to be a common drink in Silla and Koryo periods (AD. 600-1400), but disappeared afterwards and completely forgotten today. Other beverages are maintained until today with almost identical methods of preparation as described in the literatures written in the 18th century.

Development of synthetic vinegar has been focused on the acidic taste typically caused by acetic acid. Recently, consumer interest in fermented vinegars which contain a variety of valuable nutrients increased growth of the beverage industry. Vinegar beverages made of a variety of foreign fruits such as pineapple, grapefruit, and aloe are being commercialized to meet market needs from female consumers interested in beauty. However, commercialization of traditional fermented vinegars using regional products such as rice has not been successful yet compared to fruit vinegar beverages. Systematic research for development and commercialization of functional value-added traditional vinegars made of regional agricultural products should be performed. In this study, type and manufacturing methods of traditional vinegar were reviewed based on classic literatures.

In the Joseon Dynasty, various fruit teas were popularized to promote health, with spread of Donguibogam and Hyangyag gugeupbang. As interest in fruit tea has recently increased, studies on its manufacture have become necessary. We used response surface analysis for rediscovery and commercialization of grape tea. Major materials of traditional grape tea are grape juice, pear juice, ginger juice, and honey, and the sugar contents of these materials were 12.3, 14.1, 3.3 and 75 $^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. When sensory examinations were conducted with subjects aged 40-60 years, the difference between dilution ratios of 100% and 150% was not significant, but tea diluted by 150% showed somewhat higher scores than did tea diluted by 100%. Ginger taste and sweetness were found to have the greatest effect on overall acceptance. Regression analysis on color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance values, with reference to ginger juice and honey as independent variables, revealed that the $R^2$ values were 0.8411, 0.6717, 0.9499, and 0.9015, respectively. Contour maps were superimposed to obtain an optimal combination of ingredients for traditional grape tea, and the indicated levels of ginger juice and honey were 0.46-0.69% and 3.85-5.20%, in combination with grape juice, pear juice, and water concentrations of 28%, 9% and 60% (all w/w), respectively. Thus, it is now possible to prepare traditional grape tea.
