Abstract

High pressure processing (HPP) technology was applied to inactivate the microorganisms in Doenjang (soybean paste) and the effects of salt concentration on the HPP inactivation of microorganisms were analyzed. The microorganisms in Doenjang containing low salt content showed greater sensitivity to HPP than those with high salt content. HPP inactivation effects decreased as salt concentration of Doenjang increased. The HPP sensitivity decreased in the order of fungi, yeasts, bacteria in terms of microorganism type. The HPP of Doenjang at 6,500 atm for 40 min inactivated most yeasts and fungi, indicating that the HPP technology was applicable to control the microorganisms in Doenjang, especially with a low level of salt.

염 함량을 달리한 된장을 초고압 처리하여 미생물 저감특성을 조사함으로써 된장, 특히 저염 된장의 저장성을 높이기 위하여 초고압기술의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 초고압처리에 의한 된장 미생물 사멸효과는 전반적으로 낮은것으로 나타났으며, 초고압처리에 의한 미생물 사멸효과는 염 함량에 반비례하는 경향을 보였다. 미생물 종류에 따른 초고압사멸효과는 곰팡이, 효모, 세균 순으로 낮아졌다. 염 함량 10% 이하의 저염 된장은 6500 기압에서 40 분간 초고압처리에 의해 곰팡이와 효모가 거의 사멸되었으며, 초고압처리는 저염 된장의 유통기간 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대되었다.
