영지의 수용성추출물이 alcohol발효에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해 영지추출물을 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0% 되게 첨가한 맥아즙에 S. cerevisiae를 접종하고 120시간 발효 ($15^{circ}C$)과정중 S. cerevisiae의 생육도, pH의 변화 및 당 소비량, alcohol생성 등을 조사하였다. 영지추출물 첨가량이 증가 할수록 균체 증식은 현저하였고, 발효 120시간에서 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%구는 대조구보다 각각 1.2배, 1.5배, 1.9배 증가하였다. 발효액(120시간)의 당함량은 영지추출물 첨가량 순으로 낮았으나 pH 는 높았다. 발효 과정 중 총 alcohol 생성량은 영지추출물 첨가구가 모두 대조구보다 많았고 특히 고급 alcohol의 생성량은 120시간 발효후 1.0%구가 대조구에 비하여 약 1.8배 증가 하였다.
This study has investigated the effect of Ganoderma lucidum water soluble extract on higher alcohol production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae was inoculated in malt wort media which were added 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5 or 1.0% extracts of G. lucidum and fermented at $15^{circ}C$ for 120 hours respectively. Some results about cell growth, changes of pH and sugarity and alcohol composition during fermentation are as follows; The cell growth of S. cerevisiae was remarkablely increased as G. lucidum extract was added into each step. It was increased to 1.2, 1.5, 1.9 times on added group of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0% G. lucidum extract than control group after the fermentation of 120 hours. Content of sugar was systematically low on step of addition of G. lucidum extract after the fermentation of 120 hours but pH was systematically high. The more the quantity of G. lucidum extract was added, the more total alcohol quantity were produced during fermentation. Especially higher alcohol content was more increased about 1.8 times on 1.0% group (219.9 ppm w/v) than on control group (117.26 ppm w/v) after the fermentation of 120 hours.
