Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the isoflavone contents including daidzein and genistein in soy sauces made with whole grain soybean Meju(WGSM), comparing with defatted Meju(DM) du.ins fermentation. Total isoflavone contents in 2 soy sauces made with DM, Control and product A, increased with period of fermentation and were 15 and 4.3 times higher after 180 days of fermentation than on the day before fermentation respectively. Meanwhile, 2 soy sauces made with WGSM, product B and C, had the highest amounts with $20.53{\mu}g/g\;and\;19.52{\mu}g/g$ of isoflavones on the day before fermentation respectively, and then decreased with fermentation time. High amounts of isoflavones were detected in 20 days of fermentation of soy sauce which made with WGSM and wheat Meju(product D). Daidzein was the largest amounts in isoflavone contents, regardless of total or free isoflavone types. The level of daidzein increased with fermentation time in 2 soy sauces made with DM, Control and product A, whereas 2 soy sauces made with WGSM, product B and C decreased with fermentation time, instead of increasing of genistein contents.

기존의 개량식 메주와 이를 콩알 메주로 대체하여 제국 공정을 생략함으로써 생산비 절감 효과 및 생리 기능성을 가진 한식 간장의 개발을 위한 일련의 연구로, 본 연구에서는 간장 발효 중의 이소플라본의 함량변화와 동시에 aglycone 형태의 daidzein과 genistein 함량의 변화를 분석 비교하였다. 개랑 메주 간장인 Control 및 제품 A의 총 이소플라본 함량은 발효 120일까지 증가하였다가 그 후로는 아주 완만하게 증가하였고, 발효 180일경에는 발효 초기에 비해 각각 15배 및 4.3배씩 증가하였다. 반면 콩알 메주 간장 B 및 C에서는 발효 0일차에 총 이소플라본 함량이 최대값(각각 $20.53{\mu}g/g$$19.52{\mu}g/g$)을 나타낸 다음 그 후부터는 감소하였다. 콩알 메주 및 밀싻 메주 혼합 간장 D에서는 발효 20일차에 가장 높은 함량이었고, 그 후로 서서히 감소하였다. 총 이소플라본 또는 유리형에 관계없이 이소플라본의 함량의 대부분을 daidzein이 차지하고, 개량 메주 간장(Control 및 제품 A)에서는 숙성과 함께 증가한 반면에, 콩알 메주 간장(제품 B와 C)에서는 발효 0일차에 daidzein의 함량이 최고 많았고, 숙성과 함께 서서히 감소하였고, 대신 genistein함량은 서서히 증가하였다.
