This study was performed to determine the optimal composition of a makgeolli administered nuruk, water and Asparagus cochinchinensis. The experiment was designed base on BBD (box-behnken design), and an evaluation was carried out by means of RSM (response surface methodology), which included 15 experimental points with 3 replicates for the three independent variables nuruk, water and Asparagus cochinchinensis. The nuruk levels were tested in a range of 10~30 g, the water levels in a range 120~180% and Asparagus cochinchinensis was tested within a range of 2~6% by the weight of cooked-rice. Using the F-test, brix and appearance were expressed as a linear model, whereas the pH, acidity, DPPH radical scavenging, L-value, savory taste, taste, fresh aroma, after swallow and overall acceptability were expressed as a quadratic model. Increased amount of Asparagus cochinchinensis led to the reduction of the sensory scores for appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall quality. The optimum formulation by numerical and graphical method were similar: nuruk 24.50 g, water 174.95% and Asparagus cochinchinensis 2.40%.
