Abstract

In this study, two kinds of mealworm seasoning pastes (naturally fermented or inoculation of Bacillus subtilis) were prepared by applying fermentation method of chungkukjang. The samples were labeled into soybean control (SC; no fermentation), mealworm control (MC; no fermentation), mealworm natural fermentation (MR) and mealworm inoculated fermentation of Bacillus (MB). Water content, color, pH, titratable acidity, salinity, amino acid nitrogen, reducing sugar and preference test were examined on the pastes. Moisture contents were 46.9 with soybean control (MC) and 54.5~73.3 with mealworm pastes. The L-value was not significantly different between the samples. In the case of the a-value and the b-value, SC showed the highest value whereas mealworm pastes showed lower values than SC. pH and salinity were higher in mealworm pastes. Amino nitrogen and reducing sugar showed the highest values of MR 326,67 and 63.33 mg%, respectively. In the preference test, the appearance and flavor were the highest values with SC, but texture, taste and overall acceptability were with MR, Therefore, soybean fermentation method with Bacillus species could be applied to use protein of mealworm and possibly edible insects as well.
