The correlation coefficients between sensory overall preferences
(Table 3) and the pH, total acidity, amino acidity, soluble
solid and reducing sugars of OFM were calculated and
were 0.280, 0.180, 0.112, 0.000, 0.000, respectively (Fig. 1).
Each of these chemical properties showed weak-correlation
(r < 0.3) or no correlation (r ¼ 0) with sensory overall preference.
This indicated that the sensory overall preference of turbid
rice wine almost received no sensory recognizable influence by
these slight differences in each of the above properties
