To assess the actual status of businesses selling fermented soybean products, this study surveyed 130 Farmhouse style small size soybean sauce processing sites supported by the Rural Development Administration nationwide. The sex composition of the businesses representatives of 2% male and 98% female showed that a farmhouse soybean processing business is generally operated by rural women as a non-filming business. The percentage of co-worked sites was 71.2 and that of sites with permits was 39.2. The main products were meju, doenjang, and kanjang. Total production volume was found to be 523 tons, 256 tons, and 135 k$\ell$s, respectively. The number of years of experience of the manufacturers of the kanjang and doenjang was found to be 25.7 on average which shows that long-experienced, skilled manufacturers are participating in this project. The traditional measuring unit differed greatly depending on the region. This difference in the measuring unit of soybeans resulted in a large difference in the volume of doenjang and kanjang produced Per Province. For one kg of raw soybeans, the weight of Doenjang produced also varied from 2.14 kg in the Gyeongbuk area to 1.62 kg in Jeju. In the aspect of salt use, 1.75 $\ell$ (translated by volumetric unit 0.704 due) of salt pet kg of meju, in Jeju, was the highest in Korea. Government supervision would be beneficial in the areas of raw material products, standardization of measuring units and production methods, organization and operation of a conference for the different groups of producers, and in construction of a nationwide database.

Bacilli with fibrinolytic activities were isolated from traditionally-prepared Meju and some of these strains showed strong antifungal activities. One isolate, MJ1-4, showed the strongest antifungal activity. MJ1-4 and other isolates were identified as B. amyloliquefaciens strains by recA gene sequencing and RAPD-PCR results. B. amyloliqufaciens MJ1-4 efficiently inhibited an Aspergillus spp.-producing aflatoxin B1 ($AFB_1$) and a Penicillium spp.-producing ochratoxin (OTA) in addition to other fungi. Antifungal activity of B. amyloliquefaciens MJ1-4 culture reached its maximum (40 AU/mg protein) in LB or TSB medium around 48 hr at $37^{\circ}C$. Antifungal activity of the concentrated culture supernatant was not decreased significantly by protease treatments, implying that the antifungal substance might not be a simple peptide or protein. Considering its antifungal and fibrinolytic activities together, B. amyloliquefaciens MJ1-4 can serve as a starter for fermented soyfoods such as Cheonggukjang and Doenjang.

Ten yeast strains affecting doenjang flavor were isolated from soybean fermented foods (traditional meju and doenjang), among which Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5, showing excellent growth, glucose consumption, pH, and flavor production, was selected. Higher alcohols produced by Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5 related to flavor were 2-propanol, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 3.3-dimethyl-2-butanol. Optimal culture conditions for Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5 were 10% (w/v) NaCl, pH 4.0, 3.0% (w/v) glucose concentration, and inoculation time day 0 or 15 doenjang fermentation.

감마선 조사를 이용한 장류제품의 미생물 살균 시, 감마선 조사가 장류제품의 효소활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위한여 된장, 고추장, 간장, 청국장, 메주에 5, 10, 20 kGy의 선량으로 감마선을 조사한 다음 amylase, protease, lipase 그리고 혈전용해효소 활성을 비교하였다. 가수분해효소의 활성은 메주, 청국장, 된장에서 대체로 높았고 간장과 고추장은 상대적으로 낮았다. Amylase, protease, lipase의 효소활성은 10 kGy까지의 감마선 조사에 의하여 영향을 받지 않았으며, 20 kGy의 감마선 조사구에서는 10% 내외의 효소활성 감소가 있었으나 청국장의 protease 활성감소(15%)를 제외하고는 통계적인 유의차가 없었다(p<0.05). 혈전용해효소 활성은 20 kGy까지의 감마선 조사에 의해서 효소활성 변화가 없었다.

Jeupjang like salted soybean paste with vegetable is the Korean traditional side order eating at table. Bibliographical studies on the Jeupjang in historic books such as Jeungbo-Sanlim-Keongjae(Re-edition of agriculture economic), Imwon- Keongjae Ji(Book of country economic) and Keuhap-Chongseo(Handbook of household) described the Korean food in the 18 century carried out. In addition, investigation and analytical studies on various home-made Jeupjang in present was accomplished. Jeupjangs were classified into three types according to variety preparing methods. Three types were fermented soybean paste (Doenjang) type using traditional Meju(soybean cake stater) for Jeupjang, salted pickle (Jangachi) type buried cucumber and eggplant into soybean paste or soysauce (Kanjang), and salted sauer kraut (Kimchii) type prepared vegetable in Jeupjang-Meju mash. The procedures for producing Jeupjang were Jeupjang-Meju making, and mixing vegetable with Meju powder into brine. At last process was fermented in horse wastes or grasses for 7-14 days. But manufacturing methods of Jeupjang before the 18 century were different in present. Nowadays glutinous rice, red pepper powder and various vegetable were used for domestic Jeupjang.

Meju is a traditional Korean fermented soy product used as a key element for soy sauce and doenjang. Bacilli with antimicrobial activity were isolated from meju prepared by traditional methods at Sunchang county, Jeollabukdo, Korea. Six isolates were identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by recA gene sequencing and RAPD-PCR. One isolate, B. amyloliquefaciens MJ5-41, showed the strongest fibrinolytic activity. A 27 kDa active fibrinolytic enzyme, AprE5-41, was purified from the culture supernatant of MJ5-41 grown on LB by chromatographic methods. The optimum pH and temperature for purified AprE5-41 were 7.0 and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively. AprE5-41 quickly degraded $A{\alpha}$ and $B{\beta}$ chains but not the ${\gamma}$-chain of fibrinogen. AprE5-41 exhibited the highest specificity for N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe p-nitroanilide, a known substrate for ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, and subtilisin BPN'. The structural gene, aprE5-41, was cloned by PCR and successfully expressed in B. subtilis.

Suaeda asparagoides (Miq.) is a salt marsh plant, long been prescribed in traditional medicine for the treatment of hypertension and liver toxification in Asian countries. The powder of S. asparagoides was added at the ratio of 0, 5, and 10%, respectively, of grain-type Meju to manufacture Doenjang in brine according to the salt concentration (8 and 12%). After 24 weeks of fermentation, the Doenjang samples were determined to have an anti-inflammatory effect on RAW 264.7 cells. Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory effect of Doenjang added S. asparagoides powder extracted using 80% EtOH, was performed to study the inhibition of pro-inflammatory factors such as NF-κB (nuclar factor κB), NO (nitric oxide), TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha), IL-6 (interleukin-6), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase), and COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that the Doenjang extracts reduced the production of NO, IL-6, COX-2, and iNOS increased in the LPS-stimulated RAW cell without cytotoxicity. In the case of the NF-κB and TNF-α there was no significant difference between the control and samples. In conclusion, these results suggest that Doenjang added with the S. asparagoides powder acts as functional fermented food with anti-inflammation effect.

재래식 된장의 품질을 고급화하기 위해 재래식 된장과 각종 한약제와 약초류를 달리 첨가하여 제조한 두 종류의 약용 된장들을 6개월간 숙성시키면서 성인병에 관련된 몇 가지 생리 기능성의 변화를 조사하였다 약용 된장들의 고혈압을 예방하는 엔지오텐신 전환효소(ACE) 저해활성은 숙성기간이 길어짐에 따라 급격히 감소하여 숙성 6개월 후에 39.0%∼51.7%을 보였고 혈전용해활성은 숙성 6개월후에 10.4∼11.3 U를 보였다. 약용 된장들의 전자공여능은 제조직후 95%∼97%을 보였고 숙성 기간이 길어짐에 따라 큰 변화가 없었으며 SOD 유사활성은 숙성 6개월 후에 모두 10% 내외를 보였다. 약용 된장(I)의 tyrosinase 저해활성은 숙성 기간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하여 숙성 6개월 후에 상온물 추출물에서 97.6%의 높은 활성을 보였다. 6개월 숙성된약용 된장들의 조단백질과 총당 함량은 각각 14%와 33%로 재래식 된장보다 높았다.

된장은 콩 발효식품으로 주원료인 콩류에 Bacillus subtilis, Rizopus, Mucor와 Aspergillus species를 접종하여 발효시킨 메주를 소금물과 혼합하여 숙성 시킨 한국의 전통적인 발효식품이다. 본 연구에서는 동물실험을 통하여 검정콩 된장의 항비만 효과를 확인하였다. 항비만 효과의 확인은 혈중 TG, TC, 아디포넥틴과 렙틴의 레벨을 측정함과 동시에 지방합성에 관여하는 전사인자인 SREBP-1c과 PPAR-g의 mRNA와 단백질 발현 정도를 측정하였다. 고지방 식이에 검정콩 된장을 첨가한 그룹에서는 고지방식이로 인해 증가된 체중을 유의적으로 감소시킴을 확인하였다. 혈중 중성지방, 콜레스테롤과 렙틴의 레벨은 고지방식이를 섭취한 마우스에 비하여 검정콩 된장을 섭취한 마우스에서 감소하였으며 아디포넥틴의 분비량은 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과가 지방 생성의 억제로부터 유도되는지를 조사하기 위하여 지방 합성에 관여하는 전사인자인 SREBP-1c과PPAR-g의 mRNA양과 단백질 발현을 측정한 결과 검정콩 된장을 섭취한 마우스에서 현저하게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 검정 콩 된장의 섭취가 지방대사와 지방 전사 인자의 활성을 감소시킨다는 것을 확인함으로써 검정콩 된장이 비만의 예방과 진행을 개선시킬 수 있음을 증명하였다.
