Abstract

Effects of Bacillus subtilis and Rhizopus oryzae on chitooligosaccharides (COS) content of doenjang (soybean paste) and kanjang (soy sauce) were investigated using kojis made with the two strains. Competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) system using anti-COS mixture (COSM) antibody was applied for COS detection ranging from 0.001 to $1{\mu}g/mL$, and the recoveries of COSM spiked to doenjang and kanjang were 102 and 115%, respectively. Doenjang and kanjang products made with a mixture of B. subtilis and R. oryzae kojis showed COS contents of 171 and $29{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, during two-month aging period, much higher than those of Japanese and Korean commercial ones.

된장 및 간장의 chitooligosaccharide(COS) 함량을 높이기 위해 Bacillus subtilis와 Rhizopus oryzae를 접종하여 koji를 만들고 이들 균주들에 의한 된장 및 간장에서 COS 함량변화에 대하여 알아보았다. COSM에 특이적인 항체를 이용하여 competitive direct ELISA(cdELISA)로 COS를 검출하였는데, 검출 감도는 $0.001{\sim}1{\mu}g/mL$이었고, 회수율은 된장 및 간장에서 각각 102%, 115%를 보였다. B. subtilis koji와 R. oryzae koji를 섞어 담근 된장 또는 간장(BR 된장 또는 간장)이 높은 COS 함량을 보였는데, 두 달 숙성에서 된장이 $171{\mu}g/g$, 간장이$29{\mu}g/mL$을 나타내었다. 일본, 국내 시판, 그리고 실험실에서 만든 된장 및 간장의 COS 함량을 비교해 본 결과, BR 시료구가 일본이나 국내 시판용보다 훨씬 높은 함량을 나타내 주어서 본 실험에서 koji 제조시 이용된 Bacillus subtilis와 Rhizopus oryzae 의해 COS의 함량을 높일 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.
