This study was conducted to examine the possibility of improvement effect in suppression of precipitation and nasty smell creation in Takju mash. First of all, gum shown to be lowest precipitation velocity was selected and this was applied to the fermentation of Takju mash for comparing with the control in terms of fermentation aspects and various qualities of Takju mash. Precipitation amount and precipitation velocity of suspension in Takju mash added with carrageenan was shown to be the lowest than that of others. Compared with the control, alcohol was highly generated in Takju mash added with carrageenan, especially between two and four days. Total acidity was shown to be highly increased until 2 days in Takju mash and thereafter to be slightly increased. Takju mash added with carrageenan was shown to be lower on the second stage than the control. Fusel oil produced from mash added with carrageenan was 0.0460.113l/ml and mash added with carrageenan generated less fusel oil than the control by 1.63.2 fold. Yeast growth on the mash added with carrageenan was revealed to be helpful during fermentation periods. In general, sensory characteristics of Takju mash were shown to be more superior in mash added with carrageenan than in other samples. While nasty smell produced from a sample without gums was perceived after 2 days of Takju mash storage, nasty smell of Takju mash added with carrageenan was recognized after 6 days during storage. In conclusion, precipitation of suspension and nasty smell production in Takju mash were found to be suppressed by addition of carrageenan during Takju fermentation.
