  • The objective of this experiment was to improve the quality of Kochujang and to shorten the aging time of it by using the Kojis of various Aspergillus strains. During the autumn season Kochujangs were mashed with Koji of Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus kawachii and Aspergillus shirousamii. Chemical composition of the Kochujang was determined during the aging period. There was no significant difference in quality and component between the Kochujang made with Aspergillus oryzae cultured Koji and Aspergillus kawachii cultured Koji. But the Kochujang with Aspergillus shirousamii cultured Koji was better in flavor, color and amino nitrogen contents than the Kochujang with Aspergillus oryzae cultured Koji, though two Kochuangs were almost the same in general components. The significant difference between the two tested Kochuangs was observed in pH, and the pH of the Kochujong with Aspergillus shirousamii cultured Koji was extremely low during the aging period. Thus it is presumed that Aspergillus shirousamii Koji can be used for the improvement of quality of Kochujang if a suitable method is applied to prevent pH from lowering.

  • To substitute the soy-sauce 'koji' used in fish sauce processing with molded sardine meal(MSM) 'koji', the culture conditions of MSM be inoculated with Aspergillus spp. were investigated. To prepare the MSM, Asp. awamori(KFCC. 11439), Asp. guercinus (KFCC. l1595), Asp. niger(KFCC. 11239), Asp. oryzae(KFCC. 32343), and Asp. sojae(KFCC. 11559) were inoculated upon the chopped sardine with $20\%$ (w/w) corn starch after steriling it at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15min. Sporulation time cultured with Asp. spp. at $30^{\circ}C$ was 48hrs and color of mycelium on the surface of MSM inoculated with Asp. awamari and Asp. oryzae were black, that of MSM inoculated with the other strains were yellowish brown. The activity of protease and lipase from the MSM were increased till the 72hrs of culture at $30^{\circ}C$, while the content of trimethylamine was decreased after 96hrs of culture period at same condition with exception of Asp. niger. Asp. oryzae and Asp. sojae showed superior in pro-tease and lipase activity in comparison with the other strains, and maximum activity of protease and lipase of MSM was observed after 72hrs of culture period. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of MSM inoculated with Asp. oryzae and Asp. sojae were pH 9.0, $30\~35^{\circ}C$ and pH $6\~7$, $35^{\circ}C$, respectively.

  • In this study, we investigated the altered enzymatic activities and metabolite profiles of koji fermented using varying permutations of Aspergillus oryzae and/or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Notably, the protease and ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities were manifold increased in co-inoculated (CO) koji samples (co-inoculation of A. oryzae and B. amyloliquefaciens). Furthermore, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolite profiling indicates that levels of amino acids, organic acids, sugars, sugar alcohols, fatty acids, nucleosides, and vitamins were distinctly higher in CO, SA (sequential inoculation of A. oryzae, followed by B. amyloliquefaciens), and SB (sequential inoculation of B. amyloliquefaciens, followed by A. oryzae). The multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) plot based on GC-MS datasets indicated a clustered pattern for MA and MB (koji samples inoculated either with A. oryzae or B. amyloliquefaciens) across PC2 (20.0%). In contrast, the CO, SA, and SB metabolite profiles displayed segregated patterns across PLS1 (22.2%) and PLS2 (21.1%) in the partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model. Intriguingly, the observed disparity in the levels of primary metabolites was engendered largely by higher relative levels of sugars and sugar alcohols in MA, SA, and CO koji samples, which was commensurate with the relative amylase activities in respective samples. Collectively, the present study emphasizes the utility of integrated biochemical and metabolomic approaches for achieving the optimal permutation of fermentative inocula for industrial koji preparation.

  • To improve the quality of mirin, various molds were screened for mutants with high acid carboxypeptidase (ACPase) by the method of ultraviolet radiation. Mutants, Aspergillus oryzae 9-12 and Aspergillus shiroussamii 6082-60 showed activities of ACPase about 2~6 times higher than their parent strains. Aspergillus oryzae 9-12 and Aspergillus shirosamii 6082-60 were the most suitable strains for preparing koji in mirin by the conventional or improved methods. The results showed that total sugar, reducing sugar and total nitrogen were almost the same values in mirin prepared by both methods. The yield of mirin was higher in the improved method than in the conventional method. The clouding formation of mirin appeared in the conventional method ; however, mirin prepared with the mutant koji by the improved method did not show clouding formation.

  • CNU O4-5 isolated from conventional Meju, which is used as raw material for making a soybean fermentation food, identified as an Aspergillus oryzae. To make koji, Aspergillus oryzae CNU O4-5 was cultured for 3-4 days at $30^{\circ}C$ with various grain materials such as flour, soybean powder, flour+soybean powder(1:1), soaked soybean and rice. The koji was evaluated for analyze the angiotesin converting enzyne(ACE) inhibition, antioxidative activity, superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity, amylase and protease activity. $\alpha$-amylase and glucoamylase activities of flour koji were higher than those of the koji soybean powder. However neutral and alkaline protease activities of flour koji were lower than those of flour+soybean powder and soybean koji. Amylase and protease activities of kojies of soaked soybean and rice showed very low level. The range of the ACE inhibition rate by hot water fraction of the kojies, which are cultured with various gain materials, were from 45% to 54%. The anti oxidative activity of ethanol-fraction of koji, which is made by using the soybean powder or soaked soybean, prolonged for 6 days in lard at $60^{\circ}C$. The SOD activity of grinded fraction of koji, which is made by using the flour or soybean powder, was same as 2,000 units per g of each koji.
