Vinegar was prepared from the fruits produced in Gangwon province, and major metabolite and aroma components were investigated for acetic acid fermentation. In the case of Meoru-Bokbunja vinegar, the Lalanine content was greatly changed by acetic acid fermentation. Acetic acid had the highest content (43%) of total aromatic components, and the contents of ester compounds, such as ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate, were significantly increased after fermentation. Omija-Makgeolli vinegar produced linalool and hexanoic acid by fermentation, and terpenoid compound was prevalent (41.5%). L-alanine was also increased in Omija-Makgeolli vinegar, similar to that of Meoru-Bokbunja vinegar. Terpene compounds, such as terpinel-4-ol and α-terpineol in Omija-Makgeolli vinegar, and ethyl acetate in Meoru-Bokbunja vinegar, were identified as major components in each aromatic formulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
