Abstract

Although Doenjang is a representative traditional fermented food in Korea, made mainly from soybeans, it has been classified into a food group identified as having high sodium in the National Health and Nutrition Examination. It is necessary to develop a low sodium Doenjang to prevent the excessive sodium intake which may cause various diseases. However, the development of Doenjang with low sodium, without significant changes on quality, is an ongoing challenge. Therefore, the experiment was designed to reduce the salt content of the soaking water to 12.5-45%. The pH, saltiness. moisture, sodium, color, amino-type nitrogen, free amino acids and constituent amino acids composition of Doenjang were investigated to determine the effect of this salt reduction on the sensory quality of Doenjang. The reduction of sodium did not affect the pH, moisture and saltiness, and this changed maintained the same range as the control. The sodium content was reduced proportionally, and the amino acid nitrogen level was 500 mg%. Therefore, this study considered that a reduction of 25% of salt in the soaking water does not affect the quality of the Doenjang while reducing the sodium content of the final Doenjang.

된장은 대두를 주원료로 하는 한국의 대표적인 전통발효 식품임이나, 국민건강영양조사에서 고나트륨을 가지는 식품군에 분류되었다. 각종 질병의 원인이 될 수 있는 나트륨 과다섭취에 대한 저나트륨 된장의 개발이 필요한 실정으로, 품질에 크게 영향이 없이도 나트륨 함량이 적은 장류의 개발은 지속적으로 연구되어야 하는 과제이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나트륨 함량을 12.5%-45%까지 저감하도록 실험을 설계하여 적용하여 된장 담금을 진행하였으며, 그 품질적 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 나트륨의 저감화가 된장의 관능적 품질에 영향을 미치는지 pH, 염도 및 수분, 나트륨함량, 색도, 아미노산성 질소함량, 유리아미노산, 구성아미노산조성을 평가하여, 그 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 나트륨의 저감화는 pH와 수분, 염도에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 대조구와 같은 범위에서의 품질을 유지하였다. 나트륨함량은 실제로 비례적으로 감소되었으며, 아미노산성 질소는 500 mg%수준이었다. 대량으로 된장업체에서 제조한 25% 저염된 된장의 대체소재를 사용하는 것은 최종 된장의 나트륨함량을 줄이면서도 된장의 품질에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 사료된다.
