Abstract
The study was conducted to confirm the possibility of producing alcohol beverages from Dae-hong peaches. Upon examining the quality characteristics of distilled soju using Dae-hong peaches, the alcohol content was 1.12 to 1.16 times higher than that from the atmospheric distillation method. Soju with 20 % peach extract content had the highest alcohol content and the lowest volatile acid content, indicating a low possibility of causing irritating odors. Acetaldehyde was 1.3-1.94 times lower in vacuum-distilled soju, and methanol was not detected in all samples. The absorbance value of furfural, a burnt component generated during distillation is high in atmospheric distillation, which can cause irritating odors. Upon examining the volatile fragrance components, isoamylalcohol and 1-propanol were found to be the main components, both of which were the highest in the treatment group with 20 % peach extract content. The electronic nose analysis revealed that this group showed the most opposing flavor patterns to the control group, and when distilled under reduced pressure with 20 % addition of Dae-hong peaches can produce high-quality soju.
