This study was conducted to identify characteristics of kanjang made with barley bran. Characteristics of kanjang made with barley bran were compared to those of kanjang made with soybean. Total nitrogen was maintained more than 0.7% at 90 days after fermentation. In case of free sugars, the contents of arabinose, xylose, fructose, glucose and maltose were more abundant in kanjang made with barley bran than kanjang made with soybean. The contents of propionic acid and butyric acid were rich among volatile organic acids. Nonvolatile organic acid of lactic acid which was known as abundant component in kanjang was not detected in kanjang made with barley bran. In case of free amino acid, glutamic acid was the most abundant in kanjang made with barley bran, followed by proline and phenylalanine. The ratio of glutamic acid content to total amino acid content was $24.8{\sim}28.0%$. Essential amino acid was $26.7{\sim}29.9%$. Total contents of amino acids were $0.7{\sim}1.4%$. Result of sensory evaluation showed that taste of kanjang made with barley bran was good for fermented after 45 days.

Methods of adding barley malt as source of carbohydrates and enzymes in the production of kanjang in order to improve it's tastes and qualities were investigated. Soybean meju, soybean-malt meju and soybean meju cummalt was mashed with 20% salt brine in the ratio of 1:3 respectively, matured and analyzed the chemical compositions of the soy sauce mash samples for 150 days of maturing. Organoleptic evaluations for the matured soy sauce samples were done. The higher total nitrogen, TCA soluble nitrogen, O.D. at 500 nm, pure extract and lactic acid content could be observed with the soy sauce mash made of soybean-malt meju than those of contrast one from the beginning of the mashing throughout to the whole maturing period of 150 days. The higher the content of malt in the soybean-malt meju, the higher those content in the mash. But the lower content of those compositions in the soy sauce mash made of soybean meju cum malt than those in the contrast was found. The highest scores in all the sensory characteristics including 7.56 points, which were significantly different from that of contrast soy sauce at 5% level, in overall palatability were obtained by the soy sauce made of soybean-malt meju added with 30% malt in the organoleptic evaluations.

This work was carried out to investigate the effects of mashing proportion of meju(as wet weight basis of raw soybean) to 20% salt brine on the chemical compositions and sensory characteristics of kanjang. By increasing the salt brine proportion in the kanjang mash, total nitrogen, TCA soluble nitrogen and total free amino acid content in kanjang were decreased accordingly, but although pH values and organic acids content were not different noticeably, the major organic acids in kanjang, lactic acid, pyroglutamic acid and acetic acid were increased up to the mashing proportion of 1:2 from 1:1 and pH values decreased up to that of 1:2.5. Residual sugar content in 1:1 kanjang was exceptionally high. The major free amino acids in kanjang were glutamic acid, lysine, alanine and leucine. The acceptability scores of kanjang tested by sensory evaluation were decreased in inverse proportion to the salt brine proportion of kanjang mash, but those of kanjang samples with $1:1{\sim}1:2.5$ mashing proportions were not significantly different but that of 1:3 different from 1:1 statistically at 5% level. The major chemical compositions, significantly effective to the acceptability of kanjang, were found to be glutamic acid and free amino acid by statistical analysis.

한식간장은 콩을 주원료로 하여 콩속의 성분을 수용성단백질 및 아미노산으로 변화시켜만든 조미료로서, 콩으로 메주를 만든다음 20일 동안 배양해서 만든 종국(Seed)과 혼합후 발효시킴으로써 제조되며 발효공정을 통해 Total Nitrogen이 증가되게 된다. 이러한 한식간장은 탈지대두를 사용하는 양조간장과는 달리 메주를 쑤어서 만들기 때문에 탈지가 되지 않은 제조과정으로 인하여 여과 및 공정중 발생하는 잡물질의 제거가 어렵게 된다. 제조공정중 여과공정을 거치게 되는데 여과포를 사용한 압착공정으로 이루어지며 여과된 간장에는 발효에 사용된 균$\cdot$효모등이 $10^7$개/ml 수준으로 존재하여 저장안정성 및 품질보전을 위해 열처리 과정을 거치게 된다. 이 열처리가 끝난 간장은 방치$\cdot$냉각시켜 첨가제를 혼합한 후 포장된다. 냉각과정중 2차 침전물이 생성되기도 하며 멸균이 확실치 않거나 2차 오염등으로 인한 발효로 인해 $CO_2$ Gas가 발생하기도 하여 품질이 나빠지는 원인이 된다. 이러한 열살균방식은 에너지를 많이 소비하고 열살균시 간장성분으로 인한 Scale 형성등 문제점을 안고 있다. 또한 열살균을 통해 살균은 할 수 있지만 사균, 분해물질, 간장에 함유된 고약한 냄새를 풍기는 잡성분의 제거는 불가능하다.

간경변이 되면 간장에 섬유가 증가되어 간장이 딱딱하게 되고 탄력이 없어진다. 그 때문에 간장 전체 내부의 혈란이 압박을 받는다든지 막힌다든지 하여 혈액의 흐름에 방해를 받게 된다. 간장에 유입되는 혈액의 통로에는 간동맥과 문맥의 두가지가 있지만 간경변이 되면 그 중 특히 문맥의 혈류가 정체되어 문맥압이 상승된다.

In order to evaluate suitability by processing for non-GM soybean cultivars such as Gaechuck#2, Jinyangkong and CJ#1 lacking lipoxygenase (LOX) and kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) protein, physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of Kanjang made from above soybean were compared to Kanjang made from a conventional cultivar (Taekwangkong). Proximate compositions of soybeans were similar for the 4 kinds cultivars. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were significantly higher in cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. In Kanjang, contents of total and reducing sugar were higher in Taekwangkong Kanjang than Kanjang from made cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein. Contents of total and amino type nitrogen were the highest in the Jinyangkong Kanjang. Mineral contents were higher in the Jinyangkong and CJ#1 Kanjangs, amino acid contents were higher in the Kanjang made from 3 cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. Taste of the Jinyangkong Kanjang with higher sweety and savory was also found to be superior to that of others in overall acceptability evaluation. Total phenol and flavonoid contents in Kanjang were significantly higher in the Kanjang made from cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein than the Taekwangkong. Radical scavenging activity of Kanjang was increased in the total phenol contents dependent on. Reducing power by ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) was significantly higher the Kanjang made from Gaechuck#2 and CJ#1 than the Taekwangkong. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity was higher in Taekwangkong Kanjang than the other cultivars, but its activity was similar to Jinyangkong Kanjang. Therefore, higher nutritional composition, total phenol and flavonoids contents and antioxidant activity in the Kanjang made from soybean cultivars lacking LOX and KTI protein might be provide better benefit for manufacture of another their products.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of Korean traditional soy sauce and its relationship with physicochemical properties. Seventeen samples of soy sauce prepared by using a Korean traditional method were obtained from six provinces of Korea. The most powerful antioxidant activity of soy sauce was ranging from 8.96 to 63.39% for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, from 0.12 to 2.41 AE mg/mL for ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value, and from 8.42 to 115.69 TE mg/mL for oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Protease activity and total polyphenol contents were highly correlated with antioxidant activities such as DPPH radical scavenging activity and FRAP value (R=0.97). The contents of amino nitrogen were also correlated with DPPH radical scavenging activity (R=0.92), FRAP (R=0.93), and ORAC values (R=0.80). Based on these results, antioxidant activities were highly influenced by protease activity, contents of total polyphenols, and amino nitrogen.

Three varieties of soy sauce were prepared using saps of bamboo, xylem and gorosoe, with sea salt and bamboo salt, in May. Soy sauce was fermented in the traditional manner. Homemade soy sauce was analyzed after 3 months of aging. The pH and amino-type nitrogen content of soy sauce fermented with xylem sap and sea salt were very high, and malic acid was dominant among four types of organic acid. The content of calcium in soy sauce fermented with bamboo sap and sea salt was fourfold greater than that of the control. The contents of total amino acids in the soy sauces fermented with xylem sap and gorosoe, with the addition of sea salt instead of water, were 2-fold and 1.4-fold greater than that of ordinary soy sauce, respectively. In the DPPH assay, the antioxidant effect of soy sauce fermented with bamboo sap and sea salt was higher than that of other samples. Sensory evaluation showed that the overall acceptability of soy sauce fermented with gorosoe and sea salt was best, among the samples tested.
