This study was conducted to investigate difference of the flavor components of barley bran, barley meju and sigumjang. The number of flavor components identified in barely meju and sigumjang was 46, 67 and 61, respectively. Among the flavor components in sigumjang, tetramethylpyrazine was the most dominant and followed by 2-furancarboxaldehyde, ethyl palmitate, 4-ethylphenol. Among the 13 kinds of flavor components commonly identified in thest samples, butanoic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid and 2-pentylfuran were the most abundant in barley bran and followed by barley meju and sigumjang. In the mean while the content of nonanoic acid, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, benzenacetaldehyde and tetramethylpyrazine were the most dominant in sigumjang followed by barley meju and barley bran.

This study was conducted to investigate flavor components of sigumjang meju and barley bran. Among 52 kinds of flavor components identified in barley bran, the content of hexanal was the most followed by butanoic acid, 2-pentylfuran and hexanoic acid. Among 66 kinds of flavor components identified in 12 sigumjang mejus, the contents of 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone and tetramethylpyrazine were more than those of any other components. Twenty two kinds of flavor components were detected in both barley bran and sigumjang meju. The contents of butanoic acid, hexanal and 2-pentylfuran were higher in barley bran than sigumjang meju. The contents of 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone and tetramethylpyrazine were higher in sigumjang meju than barley bran. Thirty kinds of volatile components were detected only in barley bran and 44 kinds were detected only in sigumjang meju.

It is very distinctive that sigumjang meju was produced with smoking after molding. Every shapes of traditional sigumjang meju gathered from Kyeongsangbukdo were doughnut types. Fermentation time were $60{\sim}90$ days. Aerobic bacteria were $6.8{\times}10^7\;cfu/g$, and anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, molds count $3.2{\times}10^6\;cfu/g,\;1.0{\times}10^6\;cfu/g\;and\;4.0{\times}10^6\;cfu/g$, respectively. Analysis showed: moisture content, $10.5{\pm}2.6%$; fat content, $2.9{\pm}1.1%$; protein content, $8.3{\pm}0.7%$; ash content, $3.8{\pm}0.7%$; pH, $6.0{\pm}0.5$; L-value, $54.5{\pm}4.7$; a-value, $+3.3{\pm}0.7$; and b-value, $+10.7{\pm}2.0$. K content was the most in quantity among the minerals in sigumjang meju. Maltose was most abundant component among the tested sugars followed by mannitol. Total content of amino acid was $1524.9{\pm}1295.3\;mg%$. Proline was the most abundant component among the amino acids. The ratio of essential amino acid was $30.0{\pm}12.9%$. The principal fatty acids were 18:2, 18:1 and 16:0. Saturated fatty acid and mono unsaturated fatty acid were $23.2{\pm}1.9%\;and\;23.5{\pm}5.2%$, respectively. The PUFA/SFA was $2.3{\pm,}0.3$ which higher than 1.
