저염양파오곡된장(DFO)의 품질과 저장특성을 조사하였다. DFO는 양파분말(3%)과 소금(8%)을 혼합한 대두코지분말에 쌀, 보리, 차기장 및 차조분말을 등량으로 혼합, 증자하여 $10{\sim}30%$ 범위로 섞어 숙성시켰다. 저장은 polypropylene 튜브에 250 g씩 진공 포장한 후 $121^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 살균하였다. 발효와 저장은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 각각 60일간 행하였으며, 대조구 된장(GD)은 염도 16%의 대두된장으로 살균하지 않고 plastic 용기에 담아 저장하였다. 발효중 DFO의 pH는 GD보다 낮았으며 저장 중에는 안정성을 유지하였고 혼합곡의 첨가율이 높을수록 낮은 경향을 보였다. 산도도 pH와 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. 발효 중 DFO의 당도는 GD에 비하여 높았으며 저장중에도 안정성을 유지하였다. 발효 및 저장중 DFO의 amino태 질소함량은 $400{\sim}470mg%$으로 GD에서 보다 높았으며 저장 중에도 안정성을 유지하였다. 발효 중 pretense와 ${\beta}$-amylase의 활성은 DFO에서 높게 유지되었으나 저장 중에는 GD에서 높았다. 발효 및 저장 중의 색상 $L^*$값은 DFO가 GD에 비하여 높게 유지되는 반면 $a^*$ 값은 낮은 경향을 보였다. DFO의 총유리아미노산은 $1,918{\sim}2,290mg%$로 GD의 1,291 mg%보다 높았다. 발효와 저장을 각각 60일간 행한 DFO에 대하여 관능검사를 행한 결과 특히 혼합곡을 $20{\sim}30%$ 첨가한 경우는 GD에 비하여 구수한 맛, 향미, 감미가 우수하고 색상과 맛에 대한 종합적 기호도가 높았다.
The quality and storage characteristics of low salted onion and five cereals-doenjang (DFO) were investigated. At the DFO, soybean koji ($57{\sim}62%$), onion (3%) and salt (8%) were mixed with equal amount of rice, barley, glutinous millet and glutinous indian millet ($10{\sim}30%$), and water ($7{\sim}12%$). The storage of DFO was done by vacuum packing in polypropylene tube, and sterilized at $121^{\circ}C$. The fermentation and storage was conducted for 60 days at $25^{\circ}C$ at each condition. Control doenjang (GD) was the salinity of 16% soybean doenjang that was not sterilized and packed in plastic containers for storage. During the fermentation, pH of DFO was lower than GD. The pH maintained stability during the storage, and revealed to be lowered, as the proportion of mixed cereals was higher. During the fermentation of DFO, the brix degree revealed to be higher than GD and maintained s1ability during the storage. During the fermentation and storage, the amino nitrogen content of DFO was ranged $400{\sim}470mg%$ by showing higher content than GD and maintained stable content during the storage. During the fermentation, the activities of protease and ${\beta}$-amylase were maintained to be high at DFO, but the activities during the storage were high at GD. The color $L^*$ value of DFO during fermentation and storage maintained higher values than GD, but $a^*$ value revealed lower pattern. Total free amino acids of DFO was ranged $1,918{\sim}2,290mg%$ which was higher than GD that recorded 1,291 mg%. When the sensory evaluation was conducted for DFO that was fermented and stored for 60 days, the DFO mixed with $20{\sim}30%$ of cereals resulted to have more savory taste, flavor, and sweeter than GD, and overall acceptability for color and overall taste was high.
