Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the fermentation characteristics of cheonggukjang made with smoked soybeans. The study found that the amino nitrogen content and pH of cheonggukjang made with smoked soybean (CSS) were significantly elevated compared to that of cheonggukjang made with non-smoked soybeans (CNS). On the other hand, the moisture content of CSS was significantly lower when compared to that of CNS. Moreover, there were no significant differences in the viscous substance content between CNS ($5.8{\pm}0.2%$) and CSS ($5.6{\pm}0.3%$). In terms of colour, the L and b values of CSS were higher than that of CNS, whereas the a value of CNS was higher than that of CSS. Hence, it was confirmed that the total isoflavone contents in CSS ($1,624.6{\pm}53.2{\mu}g/g$) were higher than that in CNS ($1,590.6{\pm}59.3{\mu}g/g$). In both CSS and CNS, the content of genistin was highest followed by glacitin and daidzein. Also, the number of aerobic bacteria in CNS ($8.1{\pm}0.4\;log\;cfu/g$) was higher than that in CSS ($7.3{\pm}0.3\;log\;cfu/g$). Taken together, a smoking process can useful for the development of new cheonggukjang products.

본 연구에서는 고부가 청국장을 개발하기 위해 원료 콩을 훈연 처리하여 청국장을 제조하였고, 훈연 공정이 청국장의 품질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 증자 후 훈연기에서 2시간 동안 훈연한 대두에 B. licheniformis를 접종한 후 48시간 동안 발효시킨 청국장의 품질 특성을 관찰하였다. 훈연 청국장의 아미노태 질소와 pH는 미훈연 청국장에 비해 유의적인 증가를 나타낸 반면, 수분 함량은 유의적인 감소를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 색도 측정 결과, 훈연 청국장의 L값과 b값은 미훈연 청국장의 비해 유의적인 증가를 나타낸 반면, a값은 미훈연 청국장에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. ${\Delta}E$값은 훈연 청국장이 미훈연 청국장에 비해 유의적인 증가를 나타내었다. 미훈연 청국장과 훈연 청국장의 isoflavone 함량은 각각 $1,590.6{\pm}59.3{\mu}g/g$과 $1,624.6{\pm}53.2{\mu}g/g$으로 훈연 시 약간 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 함량별로는 훈연 청국장과 미훈연 청국장 모두에서 genistin의 함량이 가장 많았으며, glacitin, daidzein의 순으로 나타났다. 훈연 청국장의 세균 개체수는 $7.3{\pm}0.3\;log\;cfu/g$으로 미훈연 청국장($8.1{\pm}0.4\;log\;cfu/g$)에 비해 성장이 억제되었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 원료 콩을 훈연 처리했을 때, 연기성분 중 phenol류의 흡착과 청국장의 수분 감소에 의해 미생물의 성장이 억제되어 저장성이 향상될 것이라 판단되며, 추후 훈연 처리 시 톱밥 종류 및 온도 등 조건을 달리하여 미생물의 생육변화 및 이에 따른 각종 발효산물의 변화에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
