  • Although Doenjang is a representative traditional fermented food in Korea, made mainly from soybeans, it has been classified into a food group identified as having high sodium in the National Health and Nutrition Examination. It is necessary to develop a low sodium Doenjang to prevent the excessive sodium intake which may cause various diseases. However, the development of Doenjang with low sodium, without significant changes on quality, is an ongoing challenge. Therefore, the experiment was designed to reduce the salt content of the soaking water to 12.5-45%. The pH, saltiness. moisture, sodium, color, amino-type nitrogen, free amino acids and constituent amino acids composition of Doenjang were investigated to determine the effect of this salt reduction on the sensory quality of Doenjang. The reduction of sodium did not affect the pH, moisture and saltiness, and this changed maintained the same range as the control. The sodium content was reduced proportionally, and the amino acid nitrogen level was 500 mg%. Therefore, this study considered that a reduction of 25% of salt in the soaking water does not affect the quality of the Doenjang while reducing the sodium content of the final Doenjang.

  • Doenjang, traditional Korean soybean paste without soysauce and soondoenjang that was not isolated soysauce from soybean paste were thermally processed by the addition of dry anchovy, garlic, red pepper powder and green onion. The volatile flavor components generated from doenjang soup and soondoenjang soup were studied and compared with the change in the various flavors. It was confirmed that some difference of the flavor components was found in two type of soups. Doenjang soup contained a plenty of aldehydes and ketones that revealed the savory flavor. The major flavor components in the soondoenjang soup were sulfur containing compounds that appeared the highest ratio than any other types of flavors and 10 pyrazines. On the sensory evaluation, a great number of pyrazins may be considered as a characteristic of the savory flavor of soondoenjang soup, however, it was not give the reliable result. Stepwise multiple regression analysis of two type of soups indicated that aldehydes, alcohols, ketones were contributory flavor components for overall smell preference and quality preference.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Doenjang made by seven different traditional soybean paste manufacturers, in Chungbuk province during fermentation. The moisture content of Doenjang declined in the process of fermentation, from 58.07~68.86% to 52.32~63.79%. The salinity increased from 7.47~14.38% to 10.42~17.73%. Sample B was the lowest, and G was the highest. The pH showed a tendency to decline from 5.36~6.22 to 4.30~5.66 except for sample F, which increased 6.33~7.10. In contrast, the total acidity showed a tendency to increase from 0.56~1.77% to 1.11-1.83% except for sample F, which declined 0.71%~0.54%. The lightness declined from 44.33~55.90 to 26.68~49.66. However, the redness and the yellowness generally increased. The content of amino type nitrogen generally increased with the progress of fermentation from 93.33~408.80 mg/kg to 314.07~1,258.13 mg/kg and sample D, with Aspergillus oryzae added, was the highest. The volatile flavor compounds of Doenjang had 10~20 types. Sample D had the fewest number of volatile flavor compounds (10 types of compounds), and sample C had the largest number of it (20 types of compounds). Four types of compounds, ethanol, 3-methyl butanal, ethyl acetate, and 3-methyl butanoic acid, were detected from all samples.

  • The content of vitamin $D_2$, including its precursor ergosterol, was determined in some cultivated mushrooms to manufacture fortified Doenjang (Korean traditional soybean paste) with vitamin D by supplementation with mushroom. Ergosterol was the most abundant sterol in the mushrooms (50 to 140 mg/100 g dry weight) but the ergocalciferol portion made up only 0.065% (Pleurotus eryngii) to 2.5% (stipe part of Lentinus edodes, shiitake) of the total vitamin $D_2$ of each mushroom. Changes in these compounds in L. edodes caused by UV or solar irradiation were also evaluated. Ergocalciferol content in the pileus part of L. edodes went up to $424\;{\mu}g/100\;g$ dry weight and ergosterol levels reached 139.3 mg per 100 g dry weight at maximum levels. Ergocalciferol content increased about 50% when exposed to solar radiation and increased 377% with UV irradiation. These compounds level in Doenjang was enriched as much as supplied UV irradiated L. edodes powder to before fermentation, and the supplemented mushroom did not influence the palatability of Doenjang.

  • To improve the quality of traditional Doeniang, the sea tangle, sea mustard, or anchovy powder were added to soybean paste and matured for 90 days. The quality and sensory evaluation of the Doenjang were analysed. The addition of anchovy showed higher fat and protein contents in the Doenjang. In the mineral contents, the sweet tangle and anchovy addition significantly increased Mg and K contents. The reducing sugar content showed 9.4% in the Doenjang prepared with sweet tangle and anchovy powder than 6.0% of the control. However, the pH and acidity were not showed any significantly difference at the 5% level by Duncan's multiple range test. The amino nitrogen content was 618.7 mg% in the anchovy Doeniang that is higher than 531.1 mg% of the control. The addition of sweet tangle and anchovy to the Doenjang showed higher score in the sensory evaluation.

  • For standardization of quality of traditional fermented soybean products manufactured in Folk Villages of Sunchang Region, the physicochemical characteristics of 28 Kochujang, 28 Doenjang, and 18 Chunggukjang were compared. Moisture contents of Kochujang, Doenjang, and Chunggukjang were $46.9{\pm}3.6,\;60.6{\pm}1.9,\;and\;57.0{\pm}3.10%$, respectively. On the basis of average moisture contents, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash contents were calculated to $6.2{\pm}0.7,\;2.0{\pm}0.5,\;and\;8.2{\pm}1.1%$ in Kochujang, $13.2{\pm}1.0,\;7.1{\pm}0.6,\;and\;15.2{\pm}1.5%$ in Doenjang, and $18.9{\pm}1.2,\;6.1{\pm}1.4,\;and\;5.1{\pm}1.7%$ in Chunggukjang, respectively. Reducing sugar, salinity, and water activities in Kochujang were $19.25{\pm}4.1%,\;7.3{\pm}1.1%,\;and\;0.790{\pm}0.003$, in Doenjang were $2.38{\pm}0.89%,\;14.2{\pm}1.4%,\;and\;0.835{\pm}0.020$, and in Chunggukjang were $0.51{\pm}0.24%,\;4.2{\pm}1.6%,\;and\;0.962{\pm}0.028$, respectively. Amino-type nitrogen contents, which affects delicate flavors of fermented soybean products, of Kochujang, Doenjang, and Chunggukjang were $114.03{\pm}19.04,\;734.32{\pm}147.70,\;and\;600{\pm}150mg%$, respectively. Lightness (l), redness (a), and yellowness (b) values in color of Kochujang were $14.49{\pm}1.44,\;15.45{\pm}1.77,\;and\;8.34{\pm}1.02$, respectively, and the redness was lower than that of other ones. Those of Doenjang were $26.69{\pm}4.33,\;7.25{\pm}1.03,\;and\;12.02{\pm}1.82$, respectively, and those of Chunggukjang were $35.62{\pm}2.05,\;6.31{\pm}0.37,\;and\;13.50{\pm}0.78$, respectively. These results indicate that the salt concentration and quality of traditional fermented soybean products manufactured in Folk Villages of Sunchang region must be lowered and standardized, respectively.

  • Samjangs (Korean-style mixture of soybean paste) were prepared using magjang, traditional doenjang (Korean style soybean paste), and mixture of traditional doenjang and magjang (a kind of Korean style soybean paste) as a main composition. Charateristics including volatile compounds were investigated. Total sugar in samjang by using magjang was higher than that of other treatment while reducing sugar of the mixed treatment was high. Glutamic acid $(230.6{\sim}310.9\;mg/100\;g)$ was highest among free amino acids. Hunter color values of samjang with magjang was lower than those of others. Volatitle flavor components of smajang were identified with GC and GC-MSD. Fifty four components including 11 alcohols, 7 esters, 13 acids, 3 aldehydes, 4 alkanes, 4 phenols, 3 pyrazine and others were found in samjangs. Ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester, 3-methyl butanoic acid, 2,4-hexadienoic acid and acetic acid might be major volatile components considering of high peak area. Pentanoic acid methyl ester and 4-methoxy-2-buten-1-ol were higher than other components in samjang with magjang while 2-methyl-1-propanol, butanoic acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid were in samjang with traditional doenjang and ethanol, acetic acid ethyl ester and 2,4-hexadienoic acid were in the mixed treatment.

  • To improve quality as a food source and functional properties of traditional fermented soybean paste (Doenjang), the Korean herb medicines (group I ∼ IV) extracted at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 hours were used as brine sources. Capsule Meju were fermented in cool brines with three different concentration (group A, B and C) of the extracts at room temperature for 3 months in large earthenware jars. The effect of traditional soybean Doenjang (refer as DHM below) supplemented with the extract of herb medicines on the food quality and chemical characteristics were examined. General composition of DHM (moisture 58.2%∼61.9%, pH 5.32∼5.56, total acidity 3.07∼3.70 ml, salt 11.7∼13.9%) did not differ from those of control (moisture 61.9%, pH 5.50, total acidity 3.25 ml, salt 12.6%). Concentration of reducing sugar, crude protein, crude lipid and amino type nitrogen were higher in DHM than those of control without addition of the extracts. Water insoluble-brown index showed no difference by the extracts. However, the former had higher water soluble-brown index than the latter, and within the DHM, groups I and II were higher than groups III and IV. Lightness values (L) of Hunter color index in groups I and II were 24.32 and 31.04, respectively. Redness values (a) of all DHMs were lower than that of control. Yellowness value (b) of groups III and IV were similar to that of control group, and Hunter b values of group I and II were lower than that of control.

  • To assess the quality characteristics of home-made Doenjang prepared by traditional methods, general components, organic acids, amino acids and fatty acid composition of Doenjang were investigated. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, salt and the titratable acidity(as milliliter of 0.1 N NaOH consumed) of Doenjang were 57.3%, 11.6%, 8.3%, 13.9%, and 11.8, respectively. There were wide variation in the contents of crude protein and salt among all samples. The average content of amino type nitrogen was 308.4mg%(w/w), however, it ranged from 202.3 to 416.3 mg% in which the contents some samples were 1.3∼2.1 folds greater than others. Hunter color values of L(lightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) were 37.3, +19.6, and +17.5, respectively. Browning index value(expressed as optical density at 425 nm) of water-soluble compound(2.23) was more than 5.7 times higher than that of water-insoluble compound(0.39). The contents of free and total amino acids were 2908.9 and 9019.3 mg%, respectively, and the range of free amino acids(1.8∼6.2 times) were much wider than the range of total amino acids(1.2∼2.0 times). Glutamic acid was most abundant in free and total amino acids as 576 and 1,126 mg%, respectively. The main organic acid was lactic acid as 326.8 mg% ranging from 59.4 to 613.4 mg%. Linoleic acid(49.24%) showed the highest content in total fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acid comprised 81.97% of total fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid ranged from 51.79 to 62.97%.

  • A physicochemical assessment of Doenjang (traditional fermented soyfood) prepared with Korean black soybeans (Glycine max) was carried out. The T-N rate increased slowly during storage up to 120 days and the A-N rate increased up to 80 days of ripening and then decreased slightly. The caseinolytic activity increased slowly during storage up to 80 days and then decreased after 80 days. In addition, the fibrinolytic and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activities increased up to 80 and 30 days and then decreased. Genistin and daidzin concentrations gradually decreased with increased fermentation time. However, genistein and daidzein slowly increased with fermentation time. Genistein and daidzein reached maximum concentrations (316.8 and $305.2{\mu}g/g$, respectively) and plateaued thereafter. The anthocyanins increased greatly during fermentation up to 50 days and then remained constant between 50 and 90 days. Polyphenol contents showed a slight increase up to 80 days and then slowly decreased. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased linearly during storage up to 50 days, reached about 28.9% and 2.17 mg/g, respectively, and then slowly decreased. At 20 days of fermentation, macrophage-stimulating activity of the extract showed a maximum activity.
