Abstract
The sensing system was designed and fabricated to investigate the ferment environment of soybeans. $NH_3$ gas was saturated after about 7 h and $CO_2$ gas was reached the peak after about 8 h in the inoculation of Bacillus subtilis. However, times that $CO_2$ gas and $NH_3$ gas were reached maximum value without Bacillus subtilis were about 15 h and 18 h, respectively. The sample that inoculated Bacillus subtils had deeper taste than one without it. We found that the peak time of $CO_2$ gas means the starting time of fermentation. If we control the operating time after the start of fermentation, it is expected to make a suitable Chungkukjang to individual preference.
