Abstract : The aim of the research was to investigate the optimal condition for malt vinegar production from Thai rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.), black waxy rice (Kam) and black non-waxy rice (Homnin). The production of rice malt vinegar consisted of 3 stages. Firstly, study of the starch conversion to sugar by mashing process using the modified procedure of wort preparing for beer production. Then, study of the sugar conversion to alcohol in 4 days that showed alcohol content of 6.98% and 6.42%, respectively. Finally, study of the alcohol conversion to acetic acid for 30 days that showed amount of acetic acid content of 4.5% and 4%, respectively. The bio-functional compounds’ contents Kam and Homnin rice malt vinegar were analysed and compared to commercial malt vinegar (5.12% acetic acid). The results showed that Kam malt vinegar had the highest content of phenolic (105.14mg GAE/100ml) and antioxidant activity (62.99%), whereas Homnin and commercial malt were at the same level. The GABA contents in Kam, Homnin and commercial malt vinegar were 9.04, 8.61 and 12.05 (mg/100ml), respectively. The free amino nitrogen (FAN) contents were157.81, 142.31 and 125.87 mg/L, respectively. However, the vitamin B1 content in the 3 finished products was mostly the same (average 20.39 mg/100ml). Moreover, the flavonoid content in Kam malt vinegar was higher than Homnin and commercial malt. Therefore, Kam rice malt has high potential for use as raw material for malt vinegar production. Keywords - malt vinegar, rice malt vinegar, bio-functional compounds.
