Abstract

Seok-jang is one of traditional seasonings prepared by solidification of the mixture of say sauce and salt for long period of aging time. In this study, the physiochemical properties of Seok-jang were investigated for the substitution of solar salt. Seok-jang exhibited highest mineral (P, Na, Fe, Mn, and Al) contents than those of solar salt and soy sauce, while showed lower soluble solids content than that of soy sauce. Seok-jang also exerted the highest pH value 7.70 compared to solar salt and soy sauce. Whereas magnesium and calcium contents of solar salts were 2.90 and 0.26 ppm, which were significantly higher than those of Seok-jang. In color values, $L^*$ value was highest in solar salt and lowest in say sauce, While the highest $a^*$ and $b^*$value were 6.19 and 18.2 observed in Seok-jang followed by a solar salt and soy sauce. On the other hand, less amount of insoluble solid and sand powder content were 0.03 and 0.07% found in Seok-jang, respectively. In conclusion, Seok-jang was suitable for the potentional substitution of natural salt ingredient.

본 연구에서는 석장(간장소금)의 이화학적특성을 연구하여 새로운 소금소재로써의 적합성과 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. pH는 석장이 7.76으로 가장 높았으며, 천일염은 6.40, 간장이 4.35 순서로 낮았다. 환원당은 천일염이 0.052%로 0.045%의 석장보다 약간 높았으며 간장은 2.389%를 나타내었다. 가용성 고형분 함량은 천일염이 $11.67^{\circ}Brix$, 석장이 $11.87^{\circ}Brix$로 석장이 천일염보다 조금 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 간장의 가용성 고형분 함량은 $58.13^{\circ}Brix$의 값을 나타내었다. 또한 아미노태질소 함량은 천일염 0.68%, 석장 0.69%, 간장 3.74% 순으로 나타났으나 유의적 차이는 없었다. 불용성분 및 사분은 식품공전상의 규격에 준한 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 천일염의 색도 $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ 값은 각각 85.87, 0.52, 4.36을 나타내었고 석장은 58.86, 6.19, 18.2의 값을 나타내어 적색도와 황색도에서 더욱 높은 값을 띠었다. 무기질 함량에서 Mg은 천일염이 제일 높게 나타내었으며, 석장의 P, Na, Fe 및 Al 함량이 천일염과 간장보다 비교적 높게 측정되었으며, 또한 Ca 함량은 천일염과 석장이 5.17 ppm과 5.18 ppm으로 간장보다 높게 조사되었다. 중금속은 거의 검출되지 않았으며 식품공전의 규격을 모두 충족하였다. 결과를 종합해 보면 석장은 간장의 가용성 고형분 및 melanoidin 색을 띠는 적색도와 황색도의 특성을 모두 보유하여 간장 소스로서의 적합성이 인정되며, 또한 석장의 환원당, 아미노태 질소, 불용성분 및 사분 등 함량이 천일염과 유사한 값을 나타내었고, 이에 반해 무기질 중 Fe 함량이 아주 풍부한 것으로 보아 새로운 소금 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
