Havivg investigated on 58 fresh Mirin samples the interrelation of the activities of remaining enzymes, especially these partial enzymes, with the quality and the concentration of Mirin, we obtained the following results;
1. The activities of α-and β- amylase and protease were lower, while the activity of maltase was not, in superior quality of Mirin.
2. The activity ratios of these partial enzymes were mostly lower in superior quality.
3. In the aging stage, the ratio of increased sugars depended upon R (α/β) of remaining enzymes, and that of amino acids was proportionated with the activity of protease.
4. There were found proportional relations of tue power and the ratio of α-and β-amylase with the concentration (Bournè) of Mirin.
