Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the appropriate mixing ratio of Koji and rice Doenjang. Brown rice Doenjang (BR) was prepared with three different ratios of cooked soybean to brown rice Koji [1.5:1 (BR-1); 2:1 (BR-2); and 3:1 (BR-3)], and polished-rice Doenjang (PR) was prepared with cooked soybean and polished-rice Koji (2:1). The components related to the quality of Doenjang were analyzed during 60-day aging. No significant differences were found in the moisture and salt contents between the brown rice Doenjang and the polished-rice Doenjang. The pH, titratable acidity, and bacteria cells increased at 20-30 days aging time, and decreased thereafter. The reducing-sugar and ethyl alcohol contents, on the other hand, increased at 10-20 days previously. These analytical values of the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics increased with the increase in the percentage of koji in each Doenjang. The amino-nitrogen and free-amino-acid contents showed the highest levels in BR-1: 887.6 and $4047.0{\pm}1.5$ mg%, respectively. The ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric-acid (GABA) contents slightly increased with increasing aging time. In the color of Doenjang, the lightness and yellowness increased along with the aging time, but the redness decreased as the aging time increased. These results showed that BR-1 processed the fermentation the fastest compared with the others. Moreover, the reducing-sugar, ethanol, and free-amino-acid contents as palatable components increased rapidly until 30 days aging time.

코지와 대두의 혼합비율을 달리하여 제조한 된장을 60일간 숙성하면서 품질을 비교 평가하였다. 대두와 현미코지의 비율은 1.5:1 (BR-1), 2:1 (BR-2), 3:1 (BR-3)로 하고, 대조구로써 대두와 백미코지를 2:1 (PR)로 하였다. 60일 숙성 후 수분과 염도는 시료 간에 큰 차이가 없었으나, 숙성 경과에 따라 pH, 산도 및 미생물수는 숙성 20~30일 째에 최대에 이르렀고. 이에 앞서 10~20일째에 환원당 함량과 에칠 알코올 함량이 최대로 증가하였으며 이러한 변화는 코지비율이 높을수록 빠르고 변화 값이 높은 경향이었다. 된장의 숙성지표가 되는 아미노태 질소 함량도 숙성 경과에 따라 증가하여 60일 숙성 후 BR-1이 가장 많은 887.6 mg%이었으며, 유리아미노산 함량도 BR-1이 가장 높아 $4047.0{\pm}1.5$ mg%이었으며, 코지비율이 높을수록 아미노산 생성이 많았다. GABA함량은 숙성 경과에 따라 소량 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 색도는 숙성 경과에 따라 L값과 b값은 점차 감소하였으며 a값은 점차 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과에서 현미코지를 이용한 된장은 백미코지를 이용한 된장에 비하여 숙성이 빠르게 진행되었고, 이와 함께 된장의 풍미를 결정하는 환원당, 에칠 알코올 및 아미노산의 함량이 상대적으로 다소 높게 나타났으며 이러한 변화는 숙성 30일 까지 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 현미코지 된장은 백미코지 된장에 비하여 단백효소활성이 우수하므로 상대적으로 숙성이 빠르게 진행되며 에칠알코올과 아미노산 성분 등의 풍미물질이 많이 생성될 뿐만 아니라 현미의 영양성분이나 기능성물질인 GABA성분의 생성이 유도되어 산업적으로도 의미가 있는 것으로 생각되며, 현미코지 비율이 가장 높았던 BR-1이 품질면에서 바람직할 것으로 생각되었다.
