Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the fermentation characteristics of cheonggukjang prepared with soybean germinated under light condition. The moisture content and pH of cheonggukjang made with soybean germinated under light condition (CGL) were higher than that of cheonggukjang made with non-germinated soybean (CNG). The color of CGL was darker than that of CNG and cheonggukjang made with soybean germinated under dark condition (CGD). The number of live bacteria in the CGL ($10.7{\pm}0.3\;\log\;CFU/g$) and CGD ($10.7{\pm}0.4\;\log\;CFU/g$) was higher than that of CNG ($9.7{\pm}0.4\;\log\;CFU/g$). The levels of isoflavone in CGL, CGD and CNG were 2,038.0, 1,993.6 and 1,747.0 ug/g, respectively. There were no significant differences in the appearance, aroma, taste and overall acceptability of the cheonggukjang made with different germination conditions. Therefore, it was expected that the cheonggukjang prepared with soybean germinated under light condition could be practically used as a new fermented food.

본 연구에서는 명조건 하에서 발아된 콩으로 청국장을 제조하여 발효특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 수분함량은 명조건과 암조건에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 미발아 청국장에 비해 10%이상 수분흡수가 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 암조건 청국장과 명조건 청국장의 pH는 각각 미발아 청국장에 비해 1.0 이상 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 색도는 명조건 청국장이 미발아 청국장과 암조건 청국장에 비해 좀 더 어두운색을 띄는 것으로 나타났다. 암조건과 명조건 청국장의 세균수는 미발아 청국장에 비해 10배 이상 성장이 활성화되는 것으로 확인되었으나 원료 콩의 발아조건에 따른 차이는 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 암조건과 명조건 청국장의 점질물은 미발아 청국장에 비해 약간 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 암조건과 명조건 청국장의 isoflavone 함량은 미발아 청국장에 비해 10%이상 증가하였으며, 명조건 발아와 암조건 발아에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 관능적 특성을 확인한 결과 명조건과 암조건 청국장 모두 관능적 특성에서 미발아 청국장에 비해 떨어지지 않는 것으로 확인되어 새로운 발효식품으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
