Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of chungkukjang with added isoflavone extracted from arrowroot and to determine its utility as a functional food substance. Crude isoflavone was prepared from arrowroot by the ethanol extraction method and frozen dried (AI). Samples of chungkukjang each had different amounts of isoflavone extracts added to them: 0 (control), 1.76 (AC1-chungkukjang), 3.52 (AC2-chungkukjang), and 7.11 (AC3-chungkukjang) g/kg. The pH, color, slime material content, calcium, and isoflavone of each sample were measured to investigate the quality and changes in isoflavone content. As AI increased, the pH of chungkukjang decreased to 7.46~7.53 compared to the pH of control (7.63). The slime material content range increased to 4.46~6.16%. However, there was no significant difference in the general components of chungkukjang between each of the groups (Con, AC1, AC2, AC3). In colors of chungkukjang, values for $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ decreased as AI increased. Meanwhile, the calcium content of AC1, AC2 and AC3 tended to increase by 11.18~12.82% compared to the control. This may be due to the influence of Ca in the arrowroot extract powder. There was a remarkable increase in total isoflavone content, by 30.81~130.66%, with an order of AC3>AC2>AC1. In all of the groups, the content of genistein and daidzein, aglycone form, increased dramatically, by 65.00~128.34%, and 89.38~142.91%, respectively, compared to the control. In AC3, in particular the genistin and daidzin content increased by 103.47% and 188.13%. These results showed that AI can be used as a source of isoflavone supplementation in chungkukjang.

칡에서 추출한 이소플라본(AI)의 첨가량을 0, 1.76, 3.52 및 7.11 g/kg으로 각각 달리하여 제조한 청국장(Con, AC1, AC2, AC3)의 품질 특성 및 이소플라본의 함량을 조사하여, 칡 이소플라본 첨가 청국장의 건강기능성 식품으로서의 이용 가능성을 알아보았다. AI 첨가량이 증가할수록 청국장의 pH는 낮아졌고, 점질물의 함량은 4.46~7.36%로 대조구(4.36%)에 비해 높아졌으나, 일반 성분 함량은 차이가 없었다. 청국장의 색도는 AI 첨가량이 증가할수록 $L^*$, $a^*$ 및 $b^*$ 값 모두 낮아져 전체적으로 옅은 초록색을 나타냈다. 칼슘 함량은 AI 첨가구(AC1, AC2, AC3)가 대조구에 비해 11.18~12.82% 증가하였다. 청국장의 이소플라본 함량은 AI 첨가량의 증가에 따라 AC3>AC2>AC1 순으로 유의적으로 증가하여, 대조구에 비해 30.81~130.66% 증가하였다. Aglycone 형태인 genistein과 daidzein은 AI 첨가구(AC1, AC2 및 AC3)가 대조구에 비해 각각 65.00~128.34%와 89.38~142.91% 증가하였으며, glycoside 형태의 genistin과 daidzin 역시 AI 첨가량의 증가에 따라 그 함량이 증가하였다. 이상의 결과, 칡 이소플라본을 첨가하여 제조한 청국장은 일반 청국장에 비해 이소플라본의 함량이 높을 뿐만 아니라 특히, 체내 이용 효율이 높은 aglycone 형태의 이소플라본을 높게 함유하고 있으므로 건강기능성 식품 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
