Abstract

To improve the quality and palatability of Kochujang, the physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, and sensory evaluation of Kochujang were assessed when red ginseng and wild herbal extract were added during fermentation. This study investigated the antioxidant capacities of general Kochujang (GK) and Kochujang prepared with red ginseng and fermented wild herbal extract (RGK) by employing various in vitro antioxidant assays such as DPPH and FRAP assays. Inhibition of lioxygenase (LOX) activity was also investigated. RGK exhibited significant antioxidant effects compared to control in DPPH, FRAP, and LOX assays. The LOX inhibitory activity of RGK ($68.68{\pm}3.37%$) at 100 ${\mu}g$/mL was markedly higher than those of GK ($31.21{\pm}2.64%$) and NDGA (positive control, $30.54{\pm}1.36%$). All concentrations of RGK showed significantly higher FRAP activities than that of GK. The addition of red ginseng and fermented wild herbal extract exhibited better sensory characteristics in terms of color, flavor, taste and overall preference. We concluded that RGK improves not only functional properties but also sensory properties as well.

본 연구는 홍삼 및 전분질 원료로 산야초 발효액을 첨가하여 제조한 고추장의 이화학적 특성과 항산화 및 관능적 특성 등 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수분함량은 일반 시판 고추장에 비해 6% 정도 낮았고 회분과 조단백의 경우 각각 3.7%, 0.9% 정도 높게 나왔다. 조지방에 경우는 두 시료 모두 별다른 차이가 나타나지 않았다. pH는 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 편이었는데 이는 다른 기능성 소재를 첨가한 고추장보다도 낮은 값으로 홍삼과 산야초 발효액 첨가가 더 많은 유기산을 생성한 것으로 생각된다. 색도의 경우 L, b값은 홍삼, 산야초 발효액 첨가 고추장이 높은 값을 띄는 반면 a값은 시판 고추장이 더 높게 나왔다. 이러한 차이는 색도의 관한 기호도 평가에서 대조군 보다 훨씬 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 기능적인 측면을 살펴보면, DPPH 활성의 경우 전 농도에서 대조군보다 높게 나왔지만 특히 가장 높은 농도인 100 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 유의적으로 라디칼 소거능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, ferric reducing antioxidant power는 모든 구간에서 유의적으로 뛰어난 항산화 활성을 보였다. 지질산화를 일으키는 효소인 lipoxygenase의 저해능을 평가한 결과 100 ${\mu}g$/mL의 고농도에서 시판 고추장뿐만 아니라 양성대조군보다 2배가량 높은 저해활성을 띄는 것으로 나타났다. 관능검사에서는 맛, 색깔, 풍미, 종합적 기호도 모든 항목에서 시판 고추장보다 유의적으로 우수하다는 평가를 얻음으로 홍삼과 산야초 발효액의 첨가가 전반적인 고추장 품질을 향상시킬 수 있었음을 알 수 있었다.
