Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the amino acid content and physicochemical properties of Cheonggukjang prepared by using various soybean cultivars (Daewon, Deapung, Seadanbeak, and Taekwang) and a functional microorganism (Bacillus subtilis HJ18-9). These soybeans were conventional Cheonggukjang (control) and Cheonggukjang fermented with Bacillus subtilis HJ18-9 (treated). The moisture contents of steamed, control, and treated soybean were 62.45~67.12%, 63.28~67.14%, and 64.50~66.87%; amino-type nitrogen contents were 6.53~24.25 mg%, 27.63~122.09 mg%, and 37.29~133.48 mg%; and ammonia-type nitrogen contents were 26.92~47.95 mg%, 45.45~156.36 mg%, and 28.02~121.13 mg%, respectively. The umami taste associated with several amino acids (aspartic acid and glutamic acid) in Cheonggukjang was lower than that for steamed soybeans, while the bitter taste from amino acids (methionine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine) was higher than that for steamed soybeans. The result of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the molecular weight of steamed soybeans was less than 100 kDa, while control and treated groups showed low molecular weights below 34 kDa, confirming their protein hydrolysis to small molecular weight. These results are information for developing functional fermented soybean paste and diversification using soybean cultivars.

본 연구는 장류용 주요 콩 품종별, 유용발효미생물인 Bacillus subtilis HJ18-9 첨가 유무에 따른 청국장의 이화학적인 특징과 맛에 관여하는 아미노산 및 유기산 구성을 비교하고자 하였다. 원료콩 으로는 대원, 대풍, 새단백, 태광을 사용하였다. 원료콩(찐콩), starter를 첨가하지 않은 전통방법으로 제조한 청국장(청국장 c)과 starter를 첨가하여 제조한 청국장(청국장 t)의 수분함량은 62.45~67.12, 63.28~67.14, 64.50~66.87%이었으며, 아미노태 질소는 6.53~24.25, 27.63~122.09, 37.29~133.48 mg%, 암모니아태 질소는 26.92~47.95, 45.45~156.36, 28.02~121.13 mg%로 나타났다. 유리아미노산 함량은 원료콩이 청국장보다 감칠맛을 내는 glutamic acid, aspartic acid이 더 많은 반면, 쓴맛을 내는 valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine은 starter 첨가 유무에 관계없이 청국장이 원료콩보다 더 많은 양이 검출되었다. 유기산은 원료 콩에서 청국장으로 발효되면서 oxalic acid와 citric acid의 경우 그 함량이 감소하였고, malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid는 그 함량이 증가하였다. SDS-page 확인 결과 원료콩에서는 넓은 분포로 band가 보였지만 청국장의 경우 분자량이 큰 단백질이 사라지고 작은 분자량이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 총 균수는 원료콩, 청국장 c 및 청국장 t의 경우, 각각 3.80~5.67, 8.14~8.85, 7.48~8.46 log CFU/mL의 범위로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 콩품종에 따라 발효정도에 차이를 보이는 것과, starter첨가에 따른 품종별 발효양상이 다른 것을 확인하게 되었다. 특히, starter첨가 시, 다른 품종에 비해 새단백 청국장의 감칠맛과 연관된 glutamic acid와 aspartic acid의 함량이 증가하는 것으로 보아 주로 두부제조용으로 이용되었던 새단백의 용도다양화가 가능 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 내용은 콩품종 및 starter 첨가에 따른 청국장의 이화학적인 특징과 맛에 관여하는 아미노산 및 유기산 구성을 비교하여 청국장의 품질을 향상시키는데 필요한 기초자료로써 향후, 기능성 콩발효식품 및 콩품종 이용다양화에 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
