Philippine rice wine commonly called tapuy has great market potential. However, the traditional culture used produces unstable quality. This study aspired to come up with a standardized starter culture with known microorganisms and to evaluate the effect of different ratio of yeast-bacteria and mold starter culture on rice wine quality. Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus plantarum were used in yeast-bacteria starter culture, and Aspergillus oryzae for mold starter culture. The yeast, bacteria, and mold count were 1.05 x 10 E8, 1.14 x 10 E9, and 3.5 x 10 E6 CFU/g, respectively. One percent each of the 6 yeast-bacteria : mold ratios considered (30:70, 50:50, 60:40, 70:30 and 80:20) was evaluated. A 30:70 yeast-bacteria : mold ratio yielded the highest (675 ml/1 kg glutinous rice) but not significantly different from the other ratios. The alcohol content was higher in wine using 30:70 ratio (11.88 percent) and significantly lower in 70:30 ratio (9.45 percent). Moreover, the TSS of wine using 30:70 ratio (19.48 deg Brix) was significantly lower than wine produced from 60:40 (25.18 deg Brix), 70:30 (24.50 deg Brix) ratios. the pH using 60:40 ratio was significantly higher from wine with 40:60 and 70:30 ratio but not from the other ratios used. Among starter culture ratios tested, wine made from 30:70 yeast bacteria : mold ratio generally gave the highest overall acceptability and alcohol content. Moreover, it was less sweet compared to the other ratios.
