Abstract

The quality characteristics and functional properties of fermented soybean by lactic acid bacteria (FSB) were investigated and compared with those of soybean (control) and commercial cheonggukjang Powder (CGP). The crude protein, lipid, and fiber contents of FSB were similar to those in CGP. The vitamin $B_2$ content in FSB (1.4 mg%) was similar to the control (1.3 mg%) whereas it was remarkably low in the CGP (0.2 mg%). The bright yellow color of FSB determined by Hunter's colormeter was quite different from the dark reddish brown color of the CGP. The pH of FSB was the lowest and thee amino-nitrogen was 517.2 mg%, which was higher than that in CGP (468.1 mg%). Glutamic acid, aspartic acid and leucine were the most abundant amino acids. In particular, the increase in the glutamic acid level was noticeable in FSB. The fatty acid compositions of FSB and CGP were similar to the control. However, the sucrose and fructose levels were lower after fermentation but the glucose level was higher. The results of isoflavone analysis by HPLC showed that the levels of daidzein and genistein in FSB were as much as 48.33 and 52.82 mg%, respectively, which is higher than that found in CGP. The DPPH free radical scavenging effects of FSB and CGP were 1.8 times higher an those of the control. The fibrinolytic activity determined by the diameter of the lysed area on the fibrin plate was the most effective in FSB. In conclusion, it is believed that FSB has a similar or higher quality than CGP. Therefore, FSB is expected to be good functional food material.

유산균으로 발효시킨 대두의 품질특성과 생리활성을 원료대두 및 시판 청국장분말과 비교분석하였다. 조단백, 조지방 및 조섬유 함량은 청국장분말과 유사한 수준으로 증가하였고, 청국장분말의 비타민 $B_2$ 함량이 0.2mg%인데 비해 유산발효대두는 발효후에도 1.4mg%로 원료대두의 1.3mg%과 거의 동일하게 유지되는 특징을 보였다. 색도 측정결과 발효생대두 분말은 붉은 갈색에 가까운 청국장분말과 달리 원료대두분말과 유사한 미황색으로 나타나 발효에 따른 색의 변화가 거의 없었으며, pH는 가장 낮았다. 대두 발효식품의 품질평가 지표가 될 수 있는 아미노태 질소량도 원료대두의 194.3m% 보다 높은 517.2mg%로 468.1mg%의 청국장분말보다도 높았다 아미노산은 모두 glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine의 순으로 많이 존재하였고, 특히 유산발효대두의 glutamic acid 증가량이 두드러졌으며, 발효에 의한 지방산 조성은 큰 차이가 없어 발효에 따른 지질의 변화는 영향이 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 유리당은 발효에 따라 sucrose와 fructose가 현저히 감소하고 glucose가 증가하였으며, isoflavone 함량 분석결과 daidzein과 genistein이 원료대두보다 크게 증가하였을 뿐만 아니라 각각 38.04 및 27.37mg%인 청국장분말에 비해 48.33 및 52.82mg%로서 더 많이 생성된 것으로 나타났다. DPPH free radical 소거능으로 측정한 항산화활성은 청국장과 유사하게 원료대두의 1.8배에 달했고, fibrin plate법으로 측정한 항혈전 활성은 혈전용해환의 직경이 시간경과에 따라 차이가 커져 6시간 후에는 유산발효대두가 0.80mm로 원료대두의 0.37mm 및 청국장분말의 0.70mm과 차이가 있었다. 이상에서 유산발효대두는 영양성분이나 생리활성에 있어 청국장과 유사한 또는 그 이상의 품질을 지닌 것으로 나타나 향후 생선식을 비롯한 다양한 기능성 식품의 소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
