Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate quality characteristics of soy sauce by various manufacturing methods. We examined color values, contents of saccharide and free amino acid. Regarding color values, brewed soy sauce showed lower level of L-values than traditional soy sauce, and the L-value was increased with time dependent manner in traditional soy sauce. The one year old traditional soy sauce exhibited the lowest a-value whereas the three years old traditional soy sauce showed the highest b-value (+4.27). The content of the bitter and savory taste amino acids was the highest in commercial soy sauce with the values of 28.98% and 18.93%, respectively. In addition, traditional soy sauce contained more GABA than brewed soy sauce.

본 연구는 재래간장, 양조간장 및 산분해간장 등 제조방법에 따른 색도, 유리당 및 유리아마노산 함량 등의 품질특성을 비교하였다. 실험결과, 명도를 나타내는 L값의 경우, 산분해 간장 및 양조 간장이 재래 간장보다 낮은 값을 나타내었고, 재래 간장의 경우 제조 후 시간이 지날수록 L 값이 높아졌다. 또한, 재래 간장의 단맛 함량이 개량식 간장보다 비교적 높은 경향을 보였으며, 재래 간장의 경우 제조 후 시간이 지날수록 함량이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 쓴맛의 지표가 되는 아미노산 총 함량의 경우, 제조 후 시간과는 큰 차이가 없었으며 산분해 간장이 다른 간장보다 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 감칠맛과 가호성에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있는 glutamic acid의 함량은 양조 간장이 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 산분해간장, 제조 2년 후 재래 간장, 제조 당해 재래 간장의 순으로 나타났다. 개량식 간장이 재래 간장보다 glutamic acid 함량이 높았으며, 재래 간장에서는 제조 후 시간이 지날수록 glutamic acid 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. GABA는 재래 간장보다 개량식 간장에 더 많이 함유되어 있었고, 재래 간장의 경우 숙성기간이 길어질수록 그 함량이 증가하였다.
