Abstract

To investigate the effects of soybean germination time on the quality of cheonggukjang, the physicochemical characteristics and enzyme activities of cheonggukjang during fermentation were compared. B. subtilis SCD 115035 strain isolated from traditional cheonggukjang was selected for making cheonggukjang. Germinated (12-h) soybeancheonggukjang produced the highest amount of viscous substance (13.22%) after 48 h of fermentation, and the contents were inversely proportional to the germination time of the soybeans. The acidic- and neutral-protease activities of ungerminated soybean-cheonggukjang were higher than those of germinated soybean-cheonggukjang. The amino nitrogen content of ungerminated soybean-cheonggukjang was the highest (436.93 mg%) at 48 h of fermentation, and its content was similar to that of 12-h germinated soybean-cheonggukjang. However, the total isoflavone content of 36-h germinated soybean-cheonggukjang was the highest after 72 h of fermentation, and its content was higher than those of cheonggukjang made from soybeans germinated for 0, 12, and 24 h.

대두의 발아시간이 발아대두 청국장의 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 청국장의 발효기간 중 아미노태질소 및 isoflavone 함량 등의 이화학적 특성과 amylase 및 protease 등 효소활성을 비교하였다. 전통 청국장에서 분리한 균주 중 이취가 상대적으로 적고, 점질물 생성량이 많은 B. subtilis SCD 115035 균주를 선발하여 청국장 제조에 사용하였다. 청국장의 pH는 발효 초기 pH 6.68-6.74에서 발효가 진행됨에 따라 점차 증가하여 발효 48시간에 pH 7.47-7.68을 나타냈다. 청국장의 점질물 함량은 발효 48시간에 발아 12시간 처리구에서 13.22%로 가장 높았으며, 대두의 발아시간이 증가함에 따라 점질물 함량은 감소하였다. 산성 protease 활성은 발아 0시간 처리구에서 발효 72시간에 0.323 unit/mL로 가장 높았다. 산성 및 중성 protease 활성은 비발아대두로 제조한 청국장에서 발아대두로 제조한 청국장보다 높게 나타났다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase와 ${\beta}$-amylase 활성은 발아 시간 및 발효 시간에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비발아대두로 제조한 청국장의 아미노태질소 함량이 발효 48시간에 436.93 mg%로 가장 높았으며, 그 함량은 발아 12시간 처리구와 비슷하였다. 발아 36시간 처리구의 총 isoflavone 함량은 발효 72시간에 $839.86{\pm}8.24{\mu}g/g$로서 가장 높았으며, 발효기간 동안 발아 0, 12, 24시간 처리구보다 높게 나타났고, 발아 0, 12, 24시간 처리구 사이에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 청국장을 제조하기 위하여 대두를 발아했을 때 점질물의 함량, protease 활성 및 아미노태 질소 함량은 대조구보다 감소하였으나 기능성 성분인 isoflavone 함량은 발아 36시간 처리구에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.
