Doenjang(fermented soybean paste) was prepared by the series of processes including soaking, cooking, first fermentation(3 days at 30$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$) for the preparation of meju(soybean koji) after inoclulation of Aspergillus oryzae, and further fermentation (60 days at 30$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$) for the ripening after addition of salt 13% to meju. the crude phenolics extracted from defatted soybean and doenjang were fractionated onto the neutral phenolics(isofavonoids) and acidic phenolics(phenolic acids), respectively. Composition and antioxidative characteristics of phenolic fractions were determined. The neutral phenolic fractions contained genistin, genistein and daidzein; on the other hand, acidic phenolic fractions had syringic acid and seven other components. The content of genistin in doenjang dramatically decreased at the early stage of fermentation, whereas the content of genistein rather increased. In addition, the content of syringic acid of acidic phenolic fractions were increased during fermentation. These changes in individual phenolic components affected the antioxidative activity of neutral phenolics or acidic phenolics. antioxidative activity of phenolic compounds were evaluated during soybean fermentation. The antioxidative and free radical scavenging activity of neutral phenolic fractions and acidic phenolic fractions on linoleic acid autoxidation were also investigated.

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.

Protease related mold was isolated and selected as a starter culture for commercial production of meju. Isolated microorganism was identified as Syncephalastrum racemosum PDA 132 2. To obtain basic data about protease for production of soybean peptides and application of the strain in meju fermentation, we extrated and purified protease and charateristics of the enzyme were investigated. The optimum condition for the production of enzyme was pH 4.0, 30oC, 5 days. The protease was purified 19.7 folds by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography and specific activity was 12.4unit/mg. The purified enzyme was 34kDa in size, thiol protease(100% inhibited by PCMB), and was acidic protease(stable between pH 2.0~5.0). Vmax of the enzyme was 2.14 g/min which was lower(1/50) than that of by Asp. wentti and B. subtilis.

전통 재래식 메주 3종을 수집하여 호기성 생균수, 유산균수, 효모 및 곰팡이의 수를 측정한 결과 각각 $10^7\sim10^8$ CFU/ g, $10^6\sim10^8$ CFU/g, $10^7\sim10^8$ CFU/g의 분포를 나타내었고, 일반적으로 메주의 발효에 가장 크게 관여하고 있는 효모 및 곰팡이이 외에도 유산균 역시 메주의 발효에 깊이 관여하고 있는 주요 균주인 것으로 나타났다. 재래식 메주로부터 몇 종의 유산균을 분리한 후, 3종의 우수균주를 선별하여 동정을 실시한 결과, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis로 밝혀졌으며, 이들을 각각 Lm-SMm, Lp-SMm, Ll-GAm로 명명하였다. 3종 유산균의 효소 활성을 측정한 결과, 모두 protease, lipase, $\alpha$-amylase 활성을 나타내었고 특히 Ll-GAm이 상대적으로 높은 효소 활성을 나타내었다. DPPH를 이용하여 항산화 효과를 측정한 결과, Lm-SMm, Lp-SMm, Ll-GAm은 각각 45%, 48%, 60%의 free radical 소거 효과를 나타내었고, MTT assay를 이용하여 HT-29 인체 결장암 세포 성장억제 효과를 측정한 결과 각각 45%, 67%, 70%의 성장억제 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 전통메주로부터 분리한 우수한 유산균은 장류제조 산업에 있어서 적용성이 있을 것으로 생각되어지며, 메주 제조에 있어서 스타터로 사용되었을 때 장류제품의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Five types of meju were prepared from 100% defatted soybean (DFSG0), a mixture of 90% DFS and 10% glasswort (DFSG1), a mixture of 80% DFS and 20% glasswort (DFSG2), a mixture of 70% DFS and 30% glasswort (DFSG3), and a mixture of 60% DFS and 40% glasswort (DFSG4). Five types of kanjang were separately prepared from the 5 types of meju by ripening in brine for 6 months. The contents of certain minerals (Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Zn), organic acids (citric acid, malic acid) and the antioxidative effects in the kanjang were increased in proportion to the glasswort content in the meju. However, the free amino acid contents in the kanjang were reduced in proportion to the glasswort content in the meju. DFSG1- and DFSG2-kanjang did not show distinct differences from DFSG0-kanjang based on aroma, flavor, and taste that were compared simply by panel tests. The bacterial and fungal community in the fermented meju and kanjang was not affected by the addition of glasswort to the meju-making process. Bacteria belonging to the Lactobacillus and Bacillus genera and the Lactobacillus family predominated, and yeasts belonging to the Saccharomyces genus and fungi belonging to the Aspergillus genus predominated in the fermented meju and kanjang. In conclusion, the glasswort was a supplement that nutritionally improved the kanjang (except for free amino acid contents) but didn't influence the growth of microorganisms that are responsible for the fermentation of meju and kanjang.

From five years' previous work, the fungal isolates of Scopulariopsis were reported to be important flora at the late stage of meju fermentation. Mainly, the white or pale brown powders of spore mass of these fungi were observed on the surfaces of rectangular mejus, and to be an important sign for well-done Korean traditional home - made mejus. Out of the five isolates previously collected and stored, two kinds of Scopulariopsis isolates were identified as S. brevicauli and S. fusca. The microscopic differences between two were found to be branching patterns of annellophore and ornamentations of spore wall (warty and smooth). However, the intermediate form between two ornamentations of spore wall were also observed in our isolates. This observation was consistent with other result made from the protein electrophoresis. The isolates of Scopulariopsis were considered to be similar or superior to those of Aspergillus species, as compared with production of protease and amylase related enzymes. Thus, these isolates were speculated to be important fungi in Korean traditional home - made meju fermentation and also in production of protease and amylase.

A new species named Aspergillus cumulatus sp. nov. is described in Aspergillus section Aspergillus (Eurotium state). The type strain (KACC $47316^T$) of this species was isolated from rice straw used in meju fermentations in Korea, and other strains were isolated from the air in a meju fermentation room. The species is characterized by growth at a wide range of water activities and the formation of aerial hyphae on malt extract 60% sucrose agar (ME60S) that resemble a cumulus cloud. Furthermore, A. cumulatus produces yellow ascomata containing small lenticular ascospores (5.1-5.7 ${\mu}m$) with a wide furrow, low equatorial crests, and tuberculate convex surface. The species is phylogenetically distinct from the other reported Aspergillus section Aspergillus species based on multilocus sequence typing using rDNA-ITS, ${\beta}$-tubulin, calmodulin, and RNA polymerase II genes.
