초록

에쿠올은 인간의 건강에 유익한 효과를 나타낸다. 발효된 콩 식품들은 에쿠올을 함유하고 있으며, 많은 미생물들이 에쿠올 생산과정에 참여하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 전통 발효 식품인 된장에 대해 조사하였다. 먼저 서로 다른 제조자로부터 수집 된 37개의 된장 샘플들을 대상으로 에쿠올의 농도를 측정하기 위해 LC-MS/MS를 시행하였다. 측정 결과 3개의 된장 샘플에서 에쿠올이 검출되었고, 507 ng/100 g의 농도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 에쿠올을 함유한 된장에서 15개의 미생물 종들이 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis와 2개의 MALDI-TOF MS분석법에 의해 분리, 동정되었으며 Bacillus spp, Paenibacillus spp, Tetragenococcus spp, Stapylococcus spp, and Clostridium species들이 가장 우세한 미생물들이었다. 이 연구결과로 한국의 전통 발효식품인 된장에서도 에쿠올이 검출되었음을 확인하였다.

Equol has beneficial effects on human health. Fermented soy products contain equol, and many microbes participate in the equol production process. This study investigated fermented Korean soybean paste, doenjang. Thirty seven doenjang samples collected from different manufacturers were examined. Equol was detected in 3 samples (D2, D13, and D19) at the maximum content of 507 ng/100 g by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Fifteen microbial species were isolated and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Bacillus spp, Paenibacillus spp, Tetragenococcus spp, Stapylococcus spp, and Clostridium species were the predominant bacteria in equol containing doenjang samples.
