In order to establish the quality standard of commercial soybean paste, pH, color, moisture, crude protein, isoflavone, free amino acid and organic acid contents of the fermented soybean food in both traditional and commercial products were analyzed. The crude protein contents were from 5.0 to 11.9% in commercial soybean pasted of Samjang and traditional soybean paste of Chungugjang, and the latter showed higher value than those of the former. The contents of isoflavones in commercial soybean paste were less than those of traditional soybean paste. Total contents of free amino acids were distributed from 301 to 4,602mg%, respectively, in which Chungugjang showed the smallest value of 301mg% and the traditional soybean paste showed the most abundant one of 4,602mg%. The ratio of glutamic acid to total free amino acids were 15.9% and 30.1% in traditional soybean paste and commercial soybean paste, respectively. The major organic acid both commercial soybean paste and Samjang was citric acid containing 109.9~196.5mg%. On the other hand, that of traditional soybean paste and Chungugjang was oxalic acid containing 82.8~130.1mg%. This results might be caused by the differences of brewed periods, microflora, processing methods and used raw materials.

양식산 굴을 동결 건조 및 분쇄하여 분말화한 다음 된장에 첨가하여 양식산 굴 첨가 된장의 제조를 시도하였으며, 아울러 이의 특성에 대하여 살려보고자 하였다. 시판 된장에 굴 분말을 첨가하는 경우 첨가량의 증가에 따라 굴 첨가 된장의 수분은 감소를 하였고, 조단백질 및 아미노질소 함량은 증가를 하였으며, 염도 및 산도는 거의 변화 없었다. 또한 굴 분말의 첨가량을 증가시킬수록 굴 첨가 된장의 색조는 짙어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과와 관능검사로 미루어 굴 첨가 된장의 제조를 위한 최적 굴 첨가량은 시판 된장에 대하여 9%로 판단되었다. 이와 같은 비율로 첨가하여 제조한 굴 첨가 된장은 시판 된장에 비하여 구성아미노산 함량의 경우 약 2% 정도 많았고, 무기질의 경우 칼슘과 인의 비율이 1:2-2:1의 범위로 개선되었으며, 건강 기능성 지방산으로 대표되는 EPA 및 DHA이 검출되었다. 한편 굴 첨가 된장의 맛을 지배하는 유리아미노산 중 대표되는 맛은 glutamic acid와 aspartic acid로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 시판 된장에 굴 분말을 9%정도 첨가하여 제조하는 경우 된장의 영양성 단백질 및 건강 기능성 지질의 강화, 뿐만 아니라 다소의 맛 개선으로 된장 이외에 엑스분의 추출을 위해 별도의 굴과 같은 해산물을 첨가하기 위한 노력을 단축할 수 있으리라 판단되었다.

To identify antimicrobial activities of soybean paste, studies have been carried out with laboratory manufactured soybean paste, traditional and improved type soybean paste purchased on the market. The soybean paste fermented with Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus tamari and commercial soybean paste were shown antimicrobial activities for Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphy lococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhimurium. Non fermented soybean paste did not show antimicrobial activities against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis. The extract of soybean paste extracted by 80% methanol showed the highest antimicrobial activities of in ethyl acetate fraction and followed butanol fraction, respectively. Antimicrobial activities of traditional and improved type soybean paste were shown against all tested microorganisms and clear zone length of traditional soybean paste was slightly larger than that of improved type. Components of antimicrobial fractions of soybean paste were guessed peptides, 4 hydroxy benzoic acid, benzoic acid by GC MS.

Traditional soybean paste from Shandong Liangshan and Tianyuan Jiangyuan commercial soybean paste were chosen for analysis and comparison of their bacterial and fungal dynamics using denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis and 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. The bacterial diversity results showed that more than 20 types of bacteria were present in traditional Shandong soybean paste during its fermentation process, whereas only six types of bacteria were present in the commercial soybean paste. The predominant bacteria in the Shandong soybean paste were most closely related to Leuconostoc spp., an uncultured bacterium, Lactococcus lactis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus spp., and Citrobacter freundii. The predominant bacteria in the Tianyuan Jiangyuan soybean paste were most closely related to an uncultured bacterium, Bacillus licheniformis, and an uncultured Leuconostoc spp. The fungal diversity results showed that 10 types of fungi were present in the Shandong soybean paste during the fermentation process, with the predominant fungi being most closely related to Geotrichum spp., an uncultured fungal clone, Aspergillus oryzae, and yeast species. The predominant fungus in the commercial soybean paste was Aspergillus oryzae.

The volatile compounds of soybean pastes(home made soondoenjang, commercial doenjang) were classified into basic, acidic and neutral fractions by dynamic headspace method. The fractionated flavor isolates were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Each peak area of the flavor components was quantified at its ratio to the peak area of internal standard. Sixty one compounds from home made soondoenjang, and forty three compounds from commercial doenjang were identified. The different distribution of volatile compounds between the two soybean paste samples was observed. Ten pyrazines and benzothiazole were identified in the basic fraction of home made soondoenjang. On the other hand, trimethylpyrazine was the only one of nitrogen containing compounds in the commercial doenjang, which was made from soybean(28.3%), wheat(22.2%) and alcohols. The factors which influenced the levels of these identified compounds were considered to be the starting materials of soybean paste. Alcohols, esters and aldehydes in the neutral fraction of both samples were seemed to be characterisitic soybean paste flavor and showed much higher quantities than those of the basic or acidic fractions. Furfural in the commercial doenjang was the highest content (45.28ppm) among all of the compounds identified in the samples.

한국과 일본에 있어서 된장은 극히 보편화된 전통식품이다. 최근에 양국에서는 된장의 가공과정에서 영양상 문제가 되고 있는 감염과 맛의 향상을 위한 연구가 활발하다. 그 중의 일환으로 저자는 앞서 김치중의 Na과 K에 관한 보고를 했으며 금번 보고에서는 된장중의 유리아미노산 조성에 관한 분석을 시도함으로서 양국의 된장의 차이를 비교 해보고자 한다. 그 결과 유리아미노산 조성에 있어서 한국의 시판 된장과 가정에서의 재래식 재료된장이 유사했고 한편 일본도 시판 된장과 가정 제조 된장에서 길은 경향을 보였다. 유리아미노산 중에서는 glutamic acid의 수치가 가장 높은 점에서도 한국과 일본 된장에서 유사하여 한국시판 된장 22.7%. 한국가정 제조된장 17.5%, 한국시판청국장 11.5%, 일본 시판 10.4, 일본 가정 1% 등으로 분석 되었다. 즉, 이들의 글루타민산의 높은 함량이 양국의 된장의 맛에 크게 영향을 준다는 것을 알게 되었다.

This study is proceeded on the development of standard method for making soybean paste by Korean traditional method. Fermentation condition of Meju was 1) Pre-fermentation : 30 days in about 20$^{\circ}C$ room, 2) Main fermentation : 5 days in 30$^{\circ}C$ or upper temperature, 3) Post fermentation and drying : 30 days in well sunlightened room in January. Meju was soaked in 18% salt solution(Meju 7kg/salt solution 20L) for 35～40 days (from late February to early April) and after soaking Meju was filtered as unsoluble solute and crushed and put into traditional Korean receptacle(named 'Dok'). Crushed Meju was stored from early April to mid September and Meju was changed into soybean paste(Doen-jang). During fermentation amino acid nitrogen in Doen-jang was slightly increased in early period and decreased lately. It has been proved that by panel test soybean paste made by the method suggested in this study was more excellent than commercially fermented soybean paste. This study has presented the possibility of commercial production of soybean paste made by traditional method.

Time-dependent flow properties of commercial kochujang (hot pepper-soybean paste) were evaluated at various shear rates (5, 15, 25, and $35\;sec^{-1}$) and temperatures (5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$). Flow properties of all samples showed thixotropic behaviors, which were qualitatively evaluated and quantitatively described by the Weltman, Hahn, and Figoni and Shoemaker models. Time-dependent flow properties of kochujang were found to vary over the range of the shear rate and temperature investigated. Time-dependent models of Weltman and Hahn were suitable ($R^2=0.923-0.987$) for commercial kochujang.

This study was performed to investigate the possibility of using three commercial bifidobacteria as a starter for soybean paste fermentation. In order to determine susceptibility to inhibition by high concentrations of salt in soybean paste, cell growth of three strains in sterilized soybean paste was analyzed. Bifidobacterium breve KCTC 5081 was the most resistant to salt, whereas Bifidobacterium bifidum KCTC 5082 showed low cell viability. Conversion efficiencies from glycoside isoflavone to aglycon isoflavone in soybean paste ranged from 11.3~28.6%, with Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 5734 the best strain. Therefore, B. longum KCTC 5734 may be used as a starter for Cheonggukjang fermentation, which is low-salt fermented soybean paste.
