Abstract

Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) is one of the korean traditional fermented soybean product which is consumed with cooked rice as a soup or paste. During the fermentation, soybean protein hydrolyzed into amino acids and various peptide, and various organic acids by mirobes related and enzymes produced by meju fermentation. Some commercial products locationally samples give more sour taste than normal due to abnormal fermentation which the reasons are not clear. Three samples that gave sour taste organoleptically were collected and analyzed their characteristics such as pH, moisture content, acidity and microbial counts. The pH of the sour sample were lower than the normal with higher acidity as pH 5.39 (normal) to pH 4.36 (S2) and 15.80 ml of(0.lN NaOH consumed) to 21.80 ml (S1) respectively. Salt and moisture contents were different with sour and normal Doenjang as 16.38% (normal) to 8.92% (S3) in salt and 55.94% (normal) to 49.34% (S1) in moisture content. Total viable counts were $4.1{\times}10^8$ (normal) to $8.0{\times}10^5$ (S2), and $3.4{\times}10^8$ (normal) to $8.0{\times}10^5$ (S2) in acid producing microbes at BCP plate. Yeast and mold were not detected. The composition of acids as mainly lactic acid and acetic acid of sour Doenjang. Total free amino acids content were lower the sour Doenjang than the normal.

본 연구는 전통적으로 제조된 정상된장과 유통중 신맛이 생성된 된장의 일반성분, 색도, 유기산, 유리아미노산의 함량 및 미생물 분포를 비교하였다. 수분함량은 신맛된장에서 낮게 나타났으며, 염도 함량은 정상된장은 16.37%로 높으나 신맛된장은 14.48%~8.92%로 낮았다. pH는 정상된장이 높았고 신맛된장은 숙성기간 중 유기산이 많이 발생되어 pH 값이 낮게 나타났다. 적정산도는 신맛된장이 높게 나타났고 항온($45^{\circ}C$)에서 1~4주간 저장기간에 적정산도가 높아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 아미노태 질소 함량은 정상된장과 신맛된장이 비슷하였고 시료에 따라 함량차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 유기산은 옥살산, 호박산, 초산 및 젖산이 신맛된장에서 현저하게 높았고 초산은 신맛된장에서 2.5~3.2배, 젖산은 신맛된장에서 11~18배 높았다. 항온저장($45^{\circ}C$)에서 4주 후 유기산 함량을 측정한 결과 저장기간이 경과하면서 젖산함량은 정상된장에서 8.4배정도 증가하였으며 구연산은 정상된장과 신맛된장에서 모두 증가하였다. 유리아미노산의 경우 정상된장에서 글루탐산, 아스파트산 및 아르기닌 등이 4~5배정도 높았다. 항온저장($45^{\circ}C$)에서 4주 후 유리아미노산 함량을 측정한 결과 신맛된장에서는 변화가 없었고 정상된장에서는 1/3배정도 감소하였다. 일반세균수(생균수) 및 산생성균은 정상된장보다 신맛된장에서 낮게 나타났고 효모, 곰팡이, 대장균군은 정상된장과 신맛된장에서 검출되지 않았다. 항온저장($45^{\circ}C$)에서 저장 중 미생물 변화는 정상된장과 신맛된장에서 일반세균수(생균수), 산생성균 모두 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 정상된장과 비교하여 신맛된장은 염도가 낮았으며 수분함량이 높았고 이에 따라 숙성과정 중 발효 미생물에 의하여 pH가 낮아지고 적정산도가 증가 하였으며 신맛된장은 글루탐산, 아스파트산, 아르기닌 등 유리아미노산 함량이 정상된장 보다 낮아 신맛에 영향이 없으나 신맛된장에서 젖산, 초산 등의 유기산 함량이 높아져 된장에서 신맛이 발생되는 것으로 확인되었다.
