Abstract
Volatile flavor components of Takjus mash prepared using Aspergillus kawachii nuruk were identified by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-two esters, 20 alcohols, 10 acids, 8 aldehydes, and 3 others were found in Takju mash. Thirty two components including 13 esters and 13 alcohols were detected at beginning of fermentation. Thirteen more components were detected after second day of fermentation, and 63 additional components after 12 days of fermentation. Twenty nine flavor components including 12 alcohols such as ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and benzeneethanol, 12 esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, and ethyl butyrate 3 aldehydes, and 2 acids were detected during fermentation. Major volatile components detected during fermentation included 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl caprylate, and benzeneethanol. Peak areas of 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-hexanol, 2, 3-butanediol (D.L), 1-dodecanol, 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and monoethyl butanoate were higher than those of other components depending upon fermentation period.
Asp. kawachii균을 파종하여 만든 누룩으로 담금 한 탁주 술덧의 발효과정 중 휘발성 향기성분을 GC와 GC/MS를 사용하여 분석 동정한 결과 ester 22종, alcohol 20종. acid 10종, aldehyde 8종, 기타 3종 등 63종의 향기 성분이 동정되었다. 동정된 향기성분 수는 담금 일에 ester 13종, alcohol 13종을 비롯한 총 32종이었으나, 발효 2일에 ester 6종, alcohol 3종을 포함한 13종이 추가 검출되어 45종으로 증가되었다. 발효 12일에는 63종으로 향기 성분수가 최대에 달하였다. Ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, benzeneethanol등 alcohol류 12종, ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, ethyl butyrate 등 ester류 12종, acetaldehyde, iso-butyl aldehyde등 aldehyde 3종, octanoic acid, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid 등 acid 2종, 총 29종은 발효 전 과정을 통하여 검출되었다. 향기 성분의 면적비율은 ethanol이 72.18-91.32%로 발효 전 기간을 통하여 탁주 술덧에서 타 성분보다 월등히 높았다. Ethanol을 제외하고 발효 전 과정을 통하여 면적비율이 높은 성분은 ethyl caprylate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, benzeneethanol 이었다. 이외 발효기간에 따라서 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-hexanol, 2, 3-butanediol(D.L), 1-dodecanol, 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethyl acetate, monoethyl butanoate, diethyl succinate, ethylbenzoic acid, acetic acid, iso-butylaldehyde 등의 성분도 동종 계열간의 향기성분 중 면적비율이 다소 높게 나타나기도 하였다.
