Therefore the content
of ethyl acetate in OFM was detected, and higher ethyl acetate
producing rice cultivar was preferable.
The contents of ethyl acetate in OFM varied from
57.04 3.30 mg/L to 87.30 5.25 mg/L (Table 2). Significant
differences (p < 0.05) were observed between some different
individual rice cultivars. However, no significant differences were
observed among the rice groups of HY-rice, HEQ-rice and glutinous
rice (p > 0.05). The coefficient between sensory overall
preferences and ethyl acetate contents was 0.06 (Fig. 1),
showing nearly no correlativity. This indicated that the variation
of the ethyl acetate within 57.04 mg/L to 87.30 mg/L in OFM has
no significant difference in the influence to the taste of turbid rice
wine. This again indicated that the sensory overall preference of
turbid rice wine represents for all the influences of overall
physicochemical properties, rather than determined by a single
