Studies on the Effect of Seed Koji for the Soysauce Qualities

종국(種麴)의 종류(種類)가 간장의 품질(品質)에 미치는 영향(影響)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

The say sauce koji where made use of different kinds of seed koji were used to brewing of soysauce. The pure, complex and bacteria contaminated seed koji were used in this experiment, And the euzyme activity, Micrflora, chemical composition and TN-solubility ratio of each soysauce mash during the fermentation periods were measured respectively. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The neutral and alkali protease activity of each soysauce mash were decreassed in the process of fermentation period. In this case the activitities of protease in the bacteria contaminated koji were remarkably decreased. 2. The microflora in one ml of soysauce mash showed the tendency of increase in process of fermentation period. The increase in bacteria contaminated seed koji group was remarkable. 3. The content of total nitrogen, amino-N and ammonia-N in soysauce during the course of fermentation were increase. And alcohol, reducing sugar and pure extract contents in soysauce were also increased in the former stage of fermentation, but in the latter stage of fermentation decreased. 4. Though the content of ammonia-N in bacteria contaminated seed koji group was high, the pH value was low in comparison with the others. 5. Pure seed koji group were shown the most effective in the result of total nitrogen solubility ratio and sensual test, while the bacteria contaminated seed koji group was the worst.

종국(種麴)의 종류(種類)를 달리하여 제국(製麴)한것으로 담금하여 발효과정중(醱酵過程中)의 효소활성(酵素活性), 미생물균수(微生物菌數), 일반성분(一般成分), 질소용해율등(窒素溶解率等)의 변화(變化)에 대(對)하여 실험(實驗)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. (1) 간장 발효중(醱酵中)의 중성(中性) 및 alkali성(性) protease의 활성(活性)은 발효기간(醱酵期間)의 경과(經過)에 따라 실활(失活)되였고 세균함유종국구(細菌含有種麴區)가 더욱 현저하였다. (2) 간장 발효중(醱酵中)의 미생물균수(微生物菌數)는 발효기간(醱酵期間)의 경과(經過)에 따라 각시험구(各試驗區) 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타났으며 특히 세균함유종국구(細菌含有種麴區)가 현저하였다. (3) 일반성분중(一般成分中) TN, amino-N. ammonia-N 등은 발효기간(醱酵期間)의 경과(經過)에 따라 증가하였으며 alcohol, 유리환원당, 순고형물(純固形物) 등은 발효초기(醱酵初期)에 다소 증가하다가 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. (4) 세균함유종국구(細菌含有種麴區)는 타시험구(他試驗區)에 비(比)하여 ammonia-N의 함량(含量)이 높았으나 pH는 낮은 편이였다. (5) 질소용해율(窒素溶解率) 및 관능검사의 결과(結果) 순수종국구(純粹種麴區)가 가장 좋았으며 세균함유종국구(細菌含有種麴區)가 가장 불량(不良)하였다.
