Abstract

Quality characteristics of kochujang made with Aspergillus oryzae-and/or Cordyceps sp.-inoculated koji were investigated. Protease activity of Cordyceps sp.-inoculated koji was higher than that of A. oryzae-inoculated one. Sensory evaluation showed that kochujang made with mixture of A. oryzae-and Cordyceps sp.-inoculated koji (70 : 30, w/w) was superior to others.

기존의 황국균을 이용하여 제조하는 고추장의 품질을 개선 하고자 항암 및 강장에 효과가 있는 동충하초를 이용한 코오지로 제조한 고추장의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 동충하초를 이용하여 제조한 코오지가 황국균을 이용하여 제조한 코오지에 비해 효소역가의 경우 protease의 활성은 우수한 것으로 나타난 반면 amylase의 역가는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 고추장을 제조하여 맛, 향, 색 및 전체적인 기호도에 있어 황국균을 이용하여 제조한 코오지와 동충하초를 이용하여 제조한 코오지를 7:3의 비율로 혼합하여 숙성한 것이 기존의 황국균만을 이용하여 제조한 고추장에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타나 동충하초를 이용할 경우 기존의 황국균으로 제조하는 고추장에 비해 품질을 개선할 수 있는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
