Abstract

Bacillus subtilis K-20 chunggukjang is widely used in making soy sauces and bean pastes which are Korean traditional fermented foods. Bacillus subtilis K-20 chunggukjang was cultured, and fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ and 90% humidity for 96 hr after homogenizing with garlic, garlic and onion, and garlic, onion, and ginger. As a result, a product with pizza flavor and taste was obtained from Bacillus subtilis K-20. This product could be used as a functional food to promote immunity.

청국장의 이취를 저하시키기 위하여 Bacillus subtilis K-20에 의하여 제조된 청국장을 분리 배양하여 마늘, 양파 등의 재료를 균질화시킨 후 재료성분이 다른 조건으로 발효 및 후숙하였다. 본 실험의 청국장과 시중 M제품의 향미를 관능 평가한 결과 K-20d, K-20e, K-20f로부터 청국장 특유의 냄새가 저해되었다. 특히 볶은 마늘과 양파를 첨가한 시료에서는 피자향의 우수한 향미 성분을 얻었다. 기능성 청국장은 위생적인 균주 개발이 중요한데, 본 실험의 청국장이 시중 M-청국장보다 contamination이 낮게 나타났다. 청국장의 이취를 제거하기 위하여 재료를 볶지않은 구룹, 볶은 구룹을 비교한 결과 총균수에는 별다른 형태와 차이가 없었다. 분리정제한 Bacillus subtilis K-20의 청국장과 시중 M-청국장을 비교할 때 10배이상 높은 균주을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에 의한 청국장은 기능성을 보유하면서 냄새를 억제시켜 또한 향미를 부여하였으므로 기능성 식품으로 평가할 수 있다. 금후의 연구는 Bacillus subtilis K-20이 혈전용해효소인 fibrin과 apoptosis의 생화학적인 특징인 DNA fragmentation를 분석할 필요가 있다. 이상의 좋은 결과를 얻어낼 때 향미성이 높은 Bacillus subtilis K-20의 청국장으로부터 기능성 식품 및 의약용 개발의 기초자료를 얻을 수 있음을 시사한다.
