Abstract

To produce bio-active Kochujang, 1.2% of pomegranate powder, 1.0% of hawthorn berry extract powder, 0.01% of ginko biloba extract, 1.2% of red yeast rice powder, 1.2% of silk powder, 0.2% of garlic oil, 0.2% of chitosan, 1.2% of wax gourd extract powder, and 1.0% of pine mushroom were added individually with raw materials that are needed for Kochujang process. These Kochujangs were fermented for 45 days at $30^{\circ}C$, and examined for changes in their physicochemical properties. There were no significant differences in pH, acidity, formol-N content, color and total cell count by plate count agar between Kochujangs fortified individually with functional ingredients and the control Kochujang. When 0.2% of garlic oil was added, antioxidant activity of its Kochujang product increased twice as much as that of the control Kochujang. Improved ACE inhibiting activities were observed in 1.2% of red yeast rice powder. When 1.2% of silk powder or 0.01% of ginko biloba extract were added, antithrombotic abilities were remarkably enhanced up to two times of the control Kochujang.

기능성 강화를 목적으로 키토산 0.2%, 송이버섯 1.0%, 석류분말 1.2%, 산사추출분말 1.0%, 실크분말 1.2%, 은행잎추출분말 0.01%, 동아분말 1.2%, 마늘유 0.2%, 홍국분말 1.2%를 각각 첨가하여 고추장을 제조하였다. 각각의 소재가 고추장의 숙성에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 45일간의 숙성 기간별 pH, 산도, 포르몰태 질소함량, 색도의 변화는 소재 첨가구와 control 간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 항산화활성은 0.2%의 마늘유 첨가구가 control에 비해 약 2배 증가하였고 ACE저해활성은 1.2%의 실크분말 또는 0.01%의 은행추출분말 첨가 시 control에 비해 약 2배의 효과가 있었다.
