Abstract
Some biological activities and isoflavone (daidzein, genisten) contents were investigated from chungkugjang (CK) fermented with black beans and Bacillus strains at 42$^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr. n antibacterial activity, black bean CK fermented with Bacillus megaterium SMY-212 was higher than that ferment4d with B. subtilis. In both CK the methanol extract fo large black bean CK was more effective than that of small black bean CK was more effective than that of small black bean. Hydrogen-donating activity of methanol extract of chungjugjang (MEC) prepared with large and small black soybean showed to be 76.4 and 75.5%, respectively. Hydrogen-donating activity of MEC prepared with B. subtilis and SMY-212 was slightly highter than that without both strains. MEC of large black bean was higher in nitrite-scavenging activity than that of small black bean, and black bean CKs fermented with B. subtilis and SMY-212 have no difference in nitrite-scavenging activity B. subtilis and SMY-212. MEC of black bean showed strong antioxidative activity against peroxidation of linoleic acid and $H_2O$$_2$-FeSO$_4$-induced peroxidation of rat liver homogenate. MEC of black bean with Bacillus strains was higher in antioxidative activities than that of black bean without Bacillus strains. Contents of isoflavone (daidzein, genistein) were gradually increased during fermentation of CK. The isoflavone content was slightly higher in large black bean CK than in small black bean CK.
Bacillus 균주를 이용하여 42$^{\circ}C$에서 72시간동안 발효된 검정콩 청국장의 몇 가지 생리활성 및 sioflavone(daidzein, genistein) 함량을 조사하였다. B. subtilis 보다는 분리균주 Bacillus megaterium SMY-212 균주를 첨가한 청국장이 항균활성이 매우 높았고, 대립 검정콩의 메탄올 추출물이 소립 검정콩의 것보다 항균 효과가 우수하였다. 청국장의 수소공여능은 대립 및 소립 검정콩 청국장에서 각각 76.4 및 75.5%를 나타내었으며, B. subtilis 및 SMY-212 를 첨가한 것은 무첨가보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 아질산염 소거능은 대립 검정콩이 소립 검정콩보다 그 효과가 크게 나타났으나, 균종간에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. Linoleic acid 에 대한 과산화물가 및 흰쥐의 liver homogenate에 의한 TBARS 함량으로부터 볼 때 검정콩 청국장의 메탄올 추출물은 상당한 항산화효과가 있었다. 그 효과는 소립 검정콩의 청국장 추출물이 대립 검정콩의 청국장 추출물보다, 균주 첨가 청국장 추출물이 균주 무첨가 청국장 추출물보다 크게 나타났다. 청국장의 daidzein 및 genisteing함량은 발효 중 증가하였으며, 대립 검정콩 청국장이 소립 검정콩 청국장에 비하여 약간 높았다.
