This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles prepared with doenjang powder (0, 3, 6, 9%) in order to determine the most preferred noodle recipe. The proximate composition of the composite doenjang powder-wheat flours was as follows: calories 365 kcal, carbohydrates 79 g, saccharides 3 g, protein 10 g, fat 0.8 g, and sodium 65 mg. As the level of doenjang powder increased, the content of total amino acids increased; aspartic acid, glutamic acid, tyrosine, and lysine contents increased, in particular. Water-binding capacity decreased as the level of doenjang powder increased. When viscosity of composite doenjang powder-wheat flours was measured by amylography, gelatinization point increased as the level of doenjang powder increased. As the level of doenjang powder increased, L value decreased, whereas a and b values increased. Weight, water absorption, and volume of cooked noodles decreased, whereas turbidity of soup increased. For textural properties, hardness decreased, whereas springiness increased as the level of doenjang powder increased. For overall preference according to the results of sensory evaluation, noodles added with 3% doenjang powder were the most preferred. According to the results, addition of doenjang powder positively affects the overall sensory evaluation of dried noodle, and 3% is the optimal level for addition.

Changes in the Qualify Properties of Doenjang Prepared using the Powder or extracts of Paecilomyces japonica were investigated during fermentation at 20$^{\circ}C$. The moisture content was increased during fermentation but was not significantly different in all treatments. The pH of Doenjang with p. japonica was lower than the control group and decreased with the fermentation time. The amino nitrogen content increased gradually for up to 60 days and decreased slightly at 90 days. The L, a and b value decreased in proportion to the fermentation period and those of Doenjang with P. japonica powder were the lowest. From the results of the sensory evaluation, the color of the control group was similar to "yellow" but that of the Doenjang made from powder of P. japonica was close to "dark brown" and those of the Doenjang made from the P. japonica extract were darker than that of the control group. The texture was "glossy and smooth" in all cases and preference about the texture was high. The Doenjang with added P. japonica Powder had a saltier taste and the Doenjang with P. japonica Powder had the least sweet taste. In the flavor and overall Preference, the Doenjang with P. japonica powder was the lowest.

We examined sensory characteristics to obtain the optimal conditions for doenjang preparation, using response surface methodology (RSM) to evaluate addition of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) powder to, and the salinity of, doenjang. We aimed to develop a new variety of doenjang linking traditional Korean doenjang preparation with the physiological functionalities of sage. Color values were 1.20-2.70, flavor values 1.60-3.20, taste values 1.40-3.50, texture scores 1.60-3.50, and overall preference values 1.60-3.05, with the differences depending on experimental variations in preparation. Analysis of a reaction surface formed by a quadratic regression equation found that the R-squared values for overall preference, texture, taste, flavor,and color were 0.11-0.41, thus relatively low and insignificant, being less than 5%. In sensory tests, the color value was 2.91 when the salinity was 21.50%, and sage powder was added to a concentration of 3.10% (all w/w). The flavor score was 3.21 when the salinity was 22.52% and sage powder concentration was 3.68%. The taste value was 2.87 when the salinity was 8.62% and sage powder concentration was 4.46%. The texture score was 2.88 when the salinity was 8.00% and sage powder concentration was 6.06%. The overall preference score was 2.74 when the salinity was 20.40% and sage powder concentration was 2.66%. Although this preparation method is new to Koreans, doenjang with added sage was associated with higher sensory scores than traditional doenjang, confirming the possibility of development of a novel functional doenjang.

Sensory analysis and quality properties were performed on post-aged doenjang (fermented soybean pastes) in order to elucidate the contribution of citrus, green tea and cactus powder to their sensory evaluation. The doenjang added citrus fruits, green tea and cactus powder used a concentration of 0, 3 and 7% (w/w) at 4, 20, $30^{\circ}C$ respectively and analyzed the proximate composition, pH, salt, mineral and amino acid contents after 60 days. Moisture and protein changes during ripening did not show any significant difference. The pH showed lower in the doenjang added citrus and cactus powder than no added soybean paste. The glutamic acid content of doenjang added citrus fruits showed a little decreasing value although there were no differences between samples with various addition contents. Sensory evaluation of doenjang showed that there were no significant differences in preference in the case of added green tea and cactus powder; However, the flavor significantly increased doenjang added 3% citrus powder at $30^{\circ}C$. These results showed that the preference of doenjang containing 3% citrus powder was superior to green tea and cactus powder.

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.

This study investigated the changes in the quality of doenjang (a fermented bean paste) with the addition of Sea tangle Saccharina japonica powder fermented by lactic acid bacteria (FSP). Doenjang was prepared without or with FSP and with various amounts of doenjang (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 3% by volume), and fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, the antioxidant activity, microbiological characteristics, and physicochemical parameters were examined. We detected no significant differences in the color profiles. However, following the addition of FSP to doenjang, the amino nitrogen content and antioxidant properties were enhanced. Furthermore, the FSP-doenjang contained higher levels of ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (297.55-300.03 mg/100 g), a biofunctional ingredient. These results suggest the potential for developing a traditional Korean fermented food with enhanced antioxidant activity and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid content using FSP.

This study was carried out to develope yeast leavened pan bread using the commercial Doenjangs (Korean soybean pastes). Physicochemical properties of the Doenjang products were measured such as aminonitrogen, pH, titratable acidity and salinity, reducing sugar, total free sugar, total organic acid, PDI (protein dispersibility index) and color. Seven products of Doenjang were freeze-dried and powdered to be used in bread formula at the levels of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%. When the Doenjang powder was added up to 5.0%, the ovenspring during baking remarkably increased resulting in increased loaf volume. However, with Doenjang powder more than 7.5%, the loaf volume became smaller than the control as the dough expansion and ovenspring decreased. Thus when Doenjang was added to bread dough, the loaf volume was highly correlated with ovenspring (r=0.92) but it was not with dough expansion during 1st fermentation (r=0.56). The browning color of bread crust and crumb became deeper with decrease in L value as the addition of Doenjang powder increased. From the mechanical texture measurements of bread crumb, hardness, gumminess and chewiness decreased with addition of Doenjang powders. Regardless of the kinds of Doenjang, the Doenjang powders could be added into the bread dough up to 5.0%, improving the loaf volume and texture of yeast leavened pan bread and demonstrating the possibility of producing a functional bread using the Doenjang powders.

This study sought to prepare Doenjang with added Ulmi cortex, to improve functionality and flavor, while retaining the original Doenjang scent. Ulmi cortex powders were added during fermentation. The Ulmi cortex-containing Doenjang showed lower pH and less salinity than did the Doenjang prepared without Ulmi cortex. Sensory evaluation data showed that Doenjang with Ulmi cortex tasted sweeter, and less salty, and was preferred over Doenjang without Ulmi cortex. In the DPPH assay, Doenjang with Ulmi cortex showed much higher free-radical scavenging ability (IC50 of 29.16 g/mL)did Doenjang without Ulmi cortex(IC50 of 155.67 g/mL), indicating that Ulmi cortex Doenjang has higher antioxidant levels. Doenjang prepared with 1%(w/v) Ulmi cortex powder was best in terms of consumer preference and functionality.
