CO, The same volume of 10% malt extract and ‘Seomaeyaksuk’ water extract mixture was adjusted the alcohol concentration to 6% with edible ethanol; SEE-0.5, The same volume of 10% malt extract and 2.75 °Brix ‘Seomaeyaksuk’ 70% ethanol extract mixture was adjusted the alcohol concentration to 6% with edible ethanol; SEE-1.0, The same volume of 10% malt extract and 5.5 °Brix ‘Seomaeyaksuk’ 70% ethanol extract mixture was adjusted the alcohol concentration to 6% with edible ethanol.
Each value represents mean±SD, n=3.
Means with different superscript in the same fermentation days are significantly different at p<0.05.
Means with different superscript in the same sample code are significantly different at p<0.05.
