Abstract

Kochujang was prepared for this study with raw material inoculated by commercial enzyme of amylase and protease. Volati1e compounds of Kochujang were analyzed using a purge and trap method during fermentation and identified with GC-MSD. Total 54 kinds of volatile flavor components like 16 kinds of alcohol, 16 kinds of ester, 7 kinds of acid, 4 kinds of aldehyde, 2 kinds of alkane, 1 kind of benzene, 3 kinds of ketone, 1 kind of alkene, 2 kind of amine, 1 kind of phenol, other 1 were found. Total number of volatile flavor detected right after manufacturing were 23 kinds like 3 kinds of alcohol, 6 kinds of ester, 3 kinds of aldehyde. After 30 days storage, total number of volatile flavor went up to 31 kinds with addition of 4 kinds of alcohol, 1 kind of ester. The total number of volatile flavor after 120 days storage were increased to 49 kinds. Volatile flavor compounds detected during the storage period were total 20 kinds like 6 kinds of alcohol such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 5 kinds of ester such as ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, 3 kinds of aldehyde such as butanal, acetaldehyde and 6 kinds of others. Even though peak area % of flavor compound varied depends on fermentation period, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethenone, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol were the main compounds that consisted of flavor from Kochujang which was made with enzyme treatment. Ethly acetate showed the highest result in the treatment of right after manufacturing, 3-methyl-1-butanol had up to 90th day and ether were the other days.

시판의 amylase와 protease효소제로 원료를 처리하여 담금한 효소제 사용 고추장 숙성과정 중 휘발성 향기성분을 purge and trap 장치로 포집하여 GC-MSD로 분석, 동정한 결과 alcohol 16종, ester 16종, acid 7종, aldehyde 4종, alkane 2종, benzene 1종, ketone 3종, alkene 1종, amino 2종, phenol 1종, 기타 1종 등 54종의 휘발성 향기성분이 동정되었다. 동정된 향기성분 수는 담금직후에 alcohol 7종, ester 6종, aldehyde 3종 등 총 23종이 검출되었으나, 30일에는 alcohol 4종, ester 1종을 비롯한 8종이 추가 검출되어 31종으로 증가되었다. 120일에는 49종으로 향기성분 수가 최대에 달하였다. 숙성 전 과정을 통하여 검출된 향기성분은 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol 등 alcohol류 6종, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl butyrate 등 ester류 5종, butanal, acetaldehyde 등 aldehyde 3종, 기타 6종 등 총 20종이었다. 향기성분의 면적비율(peak area%)은 숙성기간에 따라 다소 차이가 있으나 ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethenone, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol 등이 높아 이들 성분이 효소제사용 고추장의 향기 주성분으로 나타났다. 숙성시기별로는 담금직후에 ethyl acetate가, 90일에는 3-methyl-1-butane이, 이외의 기간에는 ethanol이 가장 높았다.
