This study was performed to examine the physicochemical characteristics and sensory properties of makgeolli with dried citron peel and levels (3, 6, and 9%) of citron (Citrus junos) in makgeolli during fermentation with two-stepbrewing. The pH of makgeolli with citron dried peel increased within 5 days of fermentation, and decreased until 11 days of fermentation. Total acidity increased after 3 days of fermentation then decreased after 5 days of fermentation, but continued to increase slightly up to 12 days. Changes in alcohol content and amino acidity increased during fermentation. A sensoryevaluation of appearance, flavor, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, and overall acceptance of makgeolli with citron dried peel showed lower values than those of the control.
