Abstract
Unlike the traditional preparation method for Chungkukjang, we prepared Dua-Chungkukjang with soybean fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ after the soaking, germination and steaming process, and we studied the physico-chemical characteristics of Dua-Chungkukjang. Reducing sugar content in both traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang increased sharply after 10 hr of fermentation, but it decreased slightly after that. Total nitrogen content in both traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang increased slowly as fermentation took place. Total nitrogen content reached 3,500 mg% and 3,700 mg%, and soluble nitrogen compound reached 750 mg% and 1,800 mg% after 40 hr of fermentation, respectively. $\beta$-Glucosidase activity increased continuously as fermentation took place, and it reached 193, 223, 235 and 248 units in Dua-Chungkukjang while it reached 125, 178, 205 and 214 units in traditional Chungkukjang after 10 hr, 20 hr, 30 hr and 40 hr of fermentation. This means that $\beta$-Glucosidase activity in Dua-Chungkukjang was $1.2{\sim}1.5$ times higher than that in the control treatment, traditional Chungkukjang. Total isoflavone content was $101.44{\mu}g$/g and $365.92{\mu}g$/g for 10 hr of fermentation, and $225.98{\mu}g$/g and $441.37{\mu}g$/g for 40 hr in traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang, respectively. Isoflavone content of Dua-Chungkukjang was 2-3.5 times higher than that of traditional Chungkukjang. Anthocyanin content also increased continuously as fermentation took place, and it reached 5.0 mg/g and 6.9 mg/g in traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang after 40 hr of fermentation, respectively.
