This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of 'Kaoliang' spirit by grain materials for developing the Korean-style 'Kaoliang' spirit. Each grain was crushed for solid fermentation, and re-fermentation was performed three times in total. There was no significant difference in temperature during solid fermentation by different grains, but it rose to up to 31℃ until the first two days of fermentation, and then the fermentation was completed while maintaining 27℃. Agglomeration occurred in solid fermentation using wheat, resulting in lower work efficiency than other grains. The total acids increased after fermentation, and was the highest at 0.77% in distilled spirit using sorghum, and the major organic acids were lactic acid and acetic acid. A lot of glycerol and glucose were detected, and after three re-fermentation, all sugars were converted to ethanol. Through three re-fermentation, ethanol was the highest in distilled spirit using corn and barley. The volatile compounds, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, and ethyl lactate, were detected at the high level in distilled spirit using sorghum, and the highest ethyl caproate component in using wheat. Therefore, this study proposed to use the mixed grain materials, sorghum and wheat, in order to increase the production of ethyl caproate, the main aroma compound in 'Kaoliang' spirit.
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.
