Abstract

A part of Aspergillus oryzae koji was replaced with Bacillus sp. koji to improve the quality of kochujang, and the resulting effects on enzyme activities, microbial characteristics, and physicochemical properties were investigated during fermentation. The activity of amylase was higher in the kochujang prepared with Asp. oryzae koji. The activity of protease increased as the ratio of Bacillus. sp. koji increased. Viable cell counts of yeast and bacteria of the kochujang increased with increasing ratio of Bacillus sp. koji. The Hunter a-values of the Bacillus sp. koji kochujang were higher, and the degree of increase in the total color difference $({\Delta}\;E)$ was lower in the Bacillus sp. koji group. Consistency and water activity of the kochujang prepared with Bacillus sp. koji was higher, and the pH and titratable acidity of the kochujang also changed slightly. As the ratio of Asp. oryzae koji increased, sugar content decreased. However, the ethanol content of the kochujang did not significantly change. Amino nitrogen content of the kochujang increased, while ammonia nitrogen content decreased as the ratio of Bacillus sp. koji increased. After 12 weeks of fermentation, the result of sensory evaluation showed that C kochujang (75% of Asp. oryzae koji replaced by Bacillus sp.) was more acceptable (p<0.05) than the other groups in taste, color, flavor, and overall acceptability.

고추장의 품질 개선을 위하여 Aspergillus oryzae koji의 일부를 Bacillus sp. koji로 대체$(0{\sim}100%)$하여 고추장을 담그고 숙성중의 효소활성도와 미생물상 및 이화학적 특성을 비교하였다. 고추장 숙성중의 amylase의 활성은 Asp. oryzae koji구에서 높았으나 protease 활성은 Bacillus sp. koji 첨가비율이 증가할수록 높았다. 고추장 숙성중의 효모수와 세균수는 Bacillus sp. koji의 첨가비율이 높을수록 많았다. 고추장의 색도는 Bacillus sp. koji 고추장이 값이 높아 진한 붉은 색을 띄었으며 숙성중에 ${\Delta}E$값의 변화도 적었고 점조성과 Aw는 높았다. Bacillus sp. koji 첨가비율이 증가할수록 고추장 숙성중의 pH가 높아 적정산도는 낮았다. 고추장의 환원당은 Asp. oryzae koji구에서 높았으나 알콜 함량은 차이는 적었다. 고추장 숙성중의 아미노태 질소 함량은 Bacillus sp. koji 비율이 증가할수록 높았으나 암모니아태 질소는 적었다. 12주 숙성시킨 고추장의 맛, 색, 향기는 모두 Bacillus sp. koji를75% 첨가한 고추장에서 양호하여 전체적인 기호도에서 유의적(p<0.05)으로 좋았다.
