Alkali treatment following acidic hydrolysis (ATAH) of defatted soybean is currently used to reduce the level of 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), a known carcinogen, in commercial Korean soy sauce. 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial soy sauces made by ATAH were compared with those made only by acidic hydrolysis, and products that combine soy sauce made by acid hydrolysis (followed by alkalinization) and enzymatic methods. The four soy sauces made by ATAH had lower 3-MCPD concentrations (below 0.078 ppm) than 4 commercial products (0.147∼0.481 ppm) made only by acidic hydrolysis. On the other hand, 3-MCPD concentrations in 4 commercial products made by combining soy sauces made enzymatically with that made from acid (with alkali treatment)-hydrolyzed soybean protein in varying ratios were in a range of 0.016∼0.053 ppm. The 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial Korean soy sauces, with the exception of 2 of the soy sauces made only by acidic hydrolysis, were lower than allowable limit of 0.3 ppm in Korea. These results demonstrated that currently produced commercial soy sauces on the Korean market hate toxicologically save 3-MCPD concentrations. It is also provides evidence that ATAH is an effective process for reducing 3-MCPD concentrations in commercial soy sauce.

This paper provides the analysis and the comparisons of three kinds of soy sauces based on the manufacturing sources. The main factors of this study are concentrated on general and amino acids components. Three samples represented as domestic market soy sauces, imported Japanese soy sauces and homemade soy sauce are analyzed and compared by Kjeldahl and AOAC method and amino acid autoanlyzer method which have the results as follows; 1. For total nitrogen and pure extract and sodium chloride known as general components, the domestic market soy sauces show the ranges of 0.85~1.51%, 11.37~17.4% and 16.03~17.43% and the imported soy sauce shows the ranges of 1.65~1.83%, 19.54~19.80%, 17.20~18.46% and the homemade soy sauce indicates 0.73%, 30.96% for each components. The results implicates that the homemade soy sauce contains less total nitrogen and pure extract while it contains more sodium chloride than the domestic market soy sauces. 2. The amount of total amino acids contained in each soy indicated the range of 3.864~6.883% for the domestic market soy sauce and the range of 7.705~7.839% for the imported soy sauce and 2.035% for the homemade soy sauce. Especially, 20~50% glutamic acids are contained in total amino acids of each soy sauces.

To assess the dietary exposure to 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) from soy sauces, the levels of 3-MCPD in commercial soy sauces were analyzed with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Sixty nine out of the 72 soy sauces tested contained a level of 3-MCPD below $0.3\;{\mu}g/g$, the maximum limit in Korea. The average concentration of the 72 samples was $0.080\;{\mu}g/g$ and the highest concentration was $3.131\;{\mu}g/g$. On the basis of the consumption data, 3-MCPD concentration and body weight, the estimated daily exposures to 3-MCPD were ranged from 0.037 to $0.146\;{\mu}g/kg$ body weight (bw)/day for 95th percentile exposed population groups. Our estimated daily exposures are significantly lower than the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) of $2\;{\mu}g/kg$ bw/day, which was established by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).

Soy sauce, a basic ingredient in Asian cuisine, is made of fermented soybeans, salt, water, and barley or wheat flour. The sensory characteristics of soy sauce are not only determined through its main ingredients but also by various flavor compounds produced during the fermentation process. This study was conducted to identify the sensory attributes of five different commercial soy sauce samples that differ in Meju types (traditional Meju or modified Meju) and usage types. Thirty three sensory attributes, including appearance (1), odor (16), flavor (14), and mouthfeel (2) attributes, were generated and evaluated by eight trained panelists. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and principal component analysis. There were significant differences in the intensities of all sensory attributes among the soy sauce samples. Soy sauce made with traditional Meju had high intensity of fermented fish, beany, musty odors and salt, Cheonggukjang, fermented fish flavors. Whereas two soy sauces made with modified Meju were strong in alcohol, sweet, Doenjang, roasted soybean flavors. Two soy sauces for soup made with modified Meju had medium levels of briny, sulfury, fermented odors and bitter, chemical flavors and biting mouthfeel characteristic.

The core ingredient of traditional Korean style soy sauce is soy bean without any wheat or rice incorporated. National brands as well as regional micro-brewed companies constitute the soy sauce market in Korea. The present study investigated the physico-chemical and sensory properties of soy sauces produced by small-scale or mass-production. Additionally, the key physico-chemical parameters sufficiently representing the critical sensory characteristics have been identified. Ten types of soy sauce brewed by the Korean traditional method were selected for the study. Among these samples, seven types were brewed in small-scales in the Gyeonggi-do region whereas the other 3 types were mass-production products of major national brands. The total solid, reducing sugar, salinity, sugar content, amino nitrogen, CIELAB, acidity, and pH of soy sauce samples were measured for the physico-chemical analysis. A generic descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the sensory characteristics of the samples using six trained panelists. The descriptive panel developed 21 sensory attributes. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, PCA and PLSR. Overall, the micro-brewed products showed significantly higher value of salinity and acidity but lower content of reducing sugar than the mass-production products. The micro-brewed soy sauces elicited stronger fermented flavor, sourness, and bitterness whereas the national brand products elicited stronger alcoholic odor, sweetness and umami taste. Sugar content, acidity, and amino nitrogen showed strong relationships with fish sauce flavor, umami taste, and rich flavor. Salinity was closely related to the overall flavor intensity.

Purpose: Physicochemical and microbiological qualities were investigated to compare quality characteristics of traditional with commercial soy sauce (Ganjang). Methods: Nineteen traditional products were collected from six provinces and three commercial products were purchased in domestic markets. The proximate composition, inorganic substance contents, viable bacteria, and chromaticity of the soy sauces were measured. Results: Although concentrations of crude fat and protein were not significantly different between traditional and commercial Ganjang, the moisture concentration of commercial soy sauce was significantly higher than in traditional Ganjang (p<0.05). However, the amount of ash in commercial soy sauce was significantly lower than in traditional Ganjang (p<0.05). Total nitrogen concentrations of traditional and commercial Ganjang were 0.50-1.59% and 0.86-1.26%, respectively. Concentrations of Na, Mg, K, Ca, Li, B, Fe, and Sr in traditional Ganjang were significantly higher than in the commercial products (p<0.05). The number of total bacteria in traditional and commercial Ganjang were $3.3{\times}10^1-6.4{\times}10^7CFU/mL$ and $5.5{\times}10^1-2.0{\times}10^3CFU/mL$, respectively. Bacillus cereus were below 10,000 CFU/mL in all samples, and Staphylococcus aureus was not detected. Fungi was not detected in 13 samples of traditional Ganjang and the three samples of commercial soy sauce. Although lightness, redness, and yellowness were not significantly different among the Ganjang, G10 was had the highest values (p<0.05). Conclusion: This research provided information about the quality characteristics of traditional and commercial Ganjang.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of Chinese foods in main ingredients, sauces, and cooking methods, and to assess the applicability of kochujang in Chinese foods. Twenty Chinese foods and commercial kochujang were selected by a Chinese head cook. The main ingredients were 24 kinds such as pork, chicken, shrimp, bok choy, bean curd, Chinese noodles etc., which were generally used in Korean foods. The main Chinese sauces were 11 kinds, and soy sauce was used in 12 foods, shang loo tau soy sauce in 2, wine in 8, oyster sauce in 7, rice wine in 6. The classification of cooking units in all Chinese foods was performed and the cooking frequency was deep frying>pan frying>boiling>stir frying>steaming>roasting. The proper amount of kochujang (weight ratio) was decided by pre-test of the Chinese head cook and Chinese food added kochujang was assessed by a Chinese focus group. The overall preference of Chinese food added kochujang was assessed highly and was related to the kinds of sauces, and to the kinds of main ingredients. The foods which used soy sauce or shang loa tau soy sauce were preferred. Sweetness by using kochujang wasn't preferred in several foods. Saltiness and aftertaste by using kochujang didn't affect the food preference, and the intensity of color and pungency were evaluated as a moderate level. An increased amount of kochujang would be possible in several foods. However, the increase in the amount of kochujang for intensive color and pungency in Chinese foods was directly related to the increase of sweetness, which had been discussed as the main problem in lowering the preference. Therefore, the screening of various Chinese foods harmonized with kochujang and the determination of the proper mixing ratio with Chinese sauces are very important. The results of this study could be used as basic data for the promotion of kochujang consumption in the Chinese market.
