Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the quality characteristics of Doenjang manufactured with or without soaking Meju in brine according to salt concentrations (8 and 12%) during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content and salinity of Doenjang fermented for 6 months were 54.9-60.3% and 7.8-12.5%, respectively. Doenjang using soaking Meju in brine had higher pH and lower titratable acidity than that using non-soaking Meju. The reducing sugar content in all samples was increased until 2 months and then decreased regardless of soaking Meju, especially that of non-soaking 8% Doenjang was the highest. The 8% low-salt Doenjang was shown the highest amino-type nitrogen content, especially the soaking Doenjang was higher than the non-soaking Doenjang. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of all samples during fermentation were continuously decreased from 0.91-0.94 Unit/g to 0.01-0.06 Unit/g, especially the 8% soaking Doenjang was shown the highest activity after 2 months. Total bacterial count of the soaking Doenjang at the 6 months was in range of 7.8-8.0 log CFU/g and that of the non-soaking Doenjang was in range of 7.2-7.5 log CFU/g. By taste analysis, the 8% soaking Doenjang was shown the similar taste pattern with commercial Doenjang. In conclusion, the 8% low-salt Doenjang manufactured with soaking Meju in brine was a suitable concentration in order to reduce salt intake.
