This study examined the fermentation characteristics and antioxidative activity of makgeolli prepared with the addition of green tea (GTM). Alcohol content in GTM increased gradually during fermentation. GTM showed a slightly higher pH and lower total acidity than green tea-free makgeolli. THe HPLC chromatograms of GTM revealed an increase in various compounds including catechins depending on increase in green tea content. GTM showed higher DPPH radical-scavenging activity and total phenolic content than green tea-free makgeolli and commercial makgeolli. These results suggest that the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of GTM can be increased by the addition of green tea.
