Abstract
This study was to develope health promoting and better quality of Kochujang. Three kinds of medicinal plants, Angelica acutiloba (AA), Akebia quinate decaisne (AQ), Caragana chamlagu (CC) were extracted with water. Hanbang Kochujang was prepared by adding water extracts of medicinal hem to the ingredients of Kochujang. Quality characteristics of Hanbang Kochujang were evaluated by its water content, color and sensory evaluation during storage at $5^{\circ}C$: and $20^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. Moisture contents of Hanbang Kochujang before storage were $33\~38\%$ and increased to $48\~51\%$ at the end of storage. Color values(L, a and b) of Hanbang Kochujang were decreased as the progress of storage period at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Redness (a) values of Hannbang Kochujang with Akebia quinate decaisne (KAQ) and Caragana chamlagu (KCC) were lower than that of control Kochujang (KC) during storage at $20^{\circ}C$(p<0.05). Yellowness(b) values of Hannbang Kochujang with Caragana chamlagu (KCC) was lower than that of control Kochujang (KC) during storage at $5^{\circ}C$(p<0.05). From sensory evaluation, preference was higher in Hanbang Kochujang (KAA, KAQ and KCC) stored at $20^{\circ}C$ than that stored at $5^{\circ}C$ during 60 and 90 days of storage. Sensory evaluation scores of color, sweet taste and overall preference were the highest in Hanbang Kochujang added Caragana chamlagu (KCC) during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ for 90 days (p<0.05).
