Abstract

In this study, we aimed to increase the utilization of non-commercializable peach fruits collected during harvesting and distribution and to promote the transition of a high value-added industry. After producing pastes from the flesh of different peach varieties, we used these pastes as ingredients in the production of Kochujang. We then performed a comparative analysis on the quality characteristics of the peach-added Kochujang and commercially available Kochujang products. Peach-added Kochujang exhibited a lower pH and reduced sugar, salinity, reducing sugar, ash, and calorie content than those of commercially available Kochujang products. However, the Kochujang had slightly higher pH and moisture content than commercially available products due to high organic acid and moisture contents of peach flesh. In terms of content of inorganic elements, commercial Kochujang products exhibited higher sodium and magnesium content, whereas peach-added Kochujang had higher potassium content. In particular, the lower sodium and higher potassium content of peach-added Kochujang indicates that this product could be used as a functional food to prevent various diseases caused by excessive sodium intake among Koreans. After comparing the products in terms of phenol and flavonoid content, we concluded that ethanol extracts of peach-added Kochujang showed higher phenol content than those of the commercially available Kochujang products. In contrast, the distilled water extracts of peach Kochujang showed higher DPPH free radical scavenging activity than that of commercially available Kochujang products.

본 연구는 저장성이 낮아 폐기되는 복숭아를 활용하여 고추장을 담금하여 품질 특성을 조사하였다. pH, 당도, 염도, 환원당, 회분 및 열량은 시판 고추장에 비하여 복숭아 고추장이 낮은 경향을 보였으나, 산도 및 수분은 복숭아 과육의 높은 유기산 및 수분의 함량으로 다소 높은 결과를 얻었다. 유리당 함량의 비교에서 glucose는 시판 고추장이 복숭아 고추장에 비하여 높은 함량을 보였지만, fructose와 maltose는 복숭아 고추장에서 높은 함량을 보였다. 3대 영양소의 함량은 단백질과 탄수화물에서 시판 고추장의 함량이 높았으며, 지방은 복숭아 고추장의 함량이 높았다. 무기원소의 함량은 나트륨과 마그네슘에서 시판 고추장이 높게 측정되었으며, 칼륨 함량은 복숭아 고추장에서 높은 결과를 보였다. 페놀 및 플라보노이드의 함량을 비교한 결과, 증류수 추출물에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, 페놀 함량에서 복숭아 고추장의 에탄올 추출물이 시판 고추장의 추출물 보다 더 높은 결과를 가져왔다. 또한, DPPH 및 ABTS 라디컬 소거 활성을 비교한 결과 에탄올 추출물에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, 증류수 추출물에서 DPPH 라디컬 소거 활성이 더 높게 나타났다. 이와 같이 복숭아 품종별 페이스트를 이용하여 제조한 고추장의 이화학적 품질 특성을 조사한 결과, 대부분의 품종에서 시판고추장에 비해 품질이 높게 나타나 상품화의 가능성이 있는 것으로 기대된다. 향후 담금 조건, 관능적 특성, 숙성 기간 및 유통 안전성에 관한 연구가 요망되었다.
