This study was conducted to analyze the polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities of small-black-bean-Chungkukjang-added black food (SBCB) and soybean Chungkukjang (SC) extracts for the development of functional materials. The yields of the hot-water-and-ethanol SC extracts were higher than those of the hot-water-only SC extracts, which were higher than those of the ethanol-only SC extracts. The total phenol contents of the hot-water-and-ethanol SBCB extracts were higher than those of the other extracts. The EDA values of the hot-water-and-ethanol SBCB extracts were higher in the 0.625~5.0 mL/mL extract concentration than those of the other extracts, and those of the SC extracts were high in the 10 mg/mL extract concentration. The SOD-like activities of the hot-water- and ethanol-only SC extracts were higher than those of the other extracts. The nitrite scavenging ability of the ethanol-only SC extracts was higher at pH 1.2 than that of the hot-water-only SC extracts. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of the hot-water- and ethanol-only SBCB extracts were higher in the 0.625 mL/mL extract concentration than those of the other extracts, and increased along with the extract concentration. The inhibitory activities of tyrosinase also increased along with the extract concentration, and the reducing power increased along with the extract concentration and was high in the hot-water-only SBCB and SC extracts.

This study was conducted to compare the antioxidant activities of fermented soy products such as chungkukjang, meju and doenjang with soybeans. Total phenolic, flavonoids contents and antioxidative activities of the methanol extract of soy and fermented products were compared with specific reference to alpha-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrozyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging effects, ferric /reducing power (FRAP), inhibition of conjugated diene formation and tyrosinase activities. Total phenolic and flavonoids contents increased in soybeans after fermentation. Fermented soy products also displayed enhanced antioxidative activities in comparison with the non-fermented soybeans. There were linear relationships between total phenolic and flavonoids contents and ferric reducing/antioxidant power of the samples. Overall, the fermented soy products showed a better antioxidant activity than soybeans. Among the 3 kinds of fermented soy products, chungkukjang, meju and deonjang, doenjang exhibited the highest levels of DPPH-free radicals scavenging activity, ferric /reducing power, inhibition of conjugated diene formation and tyrosinase activities. The fermented soy products with longer fermentation time demonstrated the higher antioxidant activities as well as higher total phenols and flavonoids in the order of doenjang > meju > chunghlkjang> soybeans.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of the hamburger patty to which Chungkukjang powder (CJP; 0, 2, 4, and 6%) had been added. The contents of moisture, crude protein and crude ash in the control group(0%) were significantly(p<0.01) lower than that of the CJP patties, but crude lipid content in the control group was significantly (p<0.01) higher than that of the treated group. The values of L(brightness) and b(yellowness) of the control group were lower than that of the CJP patties, but a-value(redness) of the control group exhibited the highest score. The texture of the control group was significantly(p<0.05) harder than that of the CJP patties. Among the mean scores of sensory characteristics of samples, the patty with 2% CJP powder showed the highest sensory score, and also, had significantly(p<0.05) higher chewiness than the control group. In preference, the control group showed a higher score than the treated group, but this difference was not statistically significant. The patty with 2% CJP had significantly (p<0.01) higher consumer sensory score in texture than that of markets. The results showed that the CJP patties could contribute toward complementing the nutrients of hamburgers on sale. Furthermore, the results of this study can contribute toward improving the nutritional and functional well-being of products.
