Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a seasoning paste fermented by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis using three edible insects: Tenebrio molitor larvae, Gryllus bimaculatus, and Bombyx mori pupa. No significant changes in pH and titratable acidity were observed between the insect pastes and soybean control during a 5-week fermentation process. The amino nitrogen was 0.35-0.50% (w/w) in the early stage of the fermentation and increased to 0.72-0.78%. The total nitrogen was 2.36-3.62% (w/w) in the early stage and was preserved during the fermentation period. Free amino acids of the insect pastes were similar to those in soybean paste. In general, the fermented insect pastes showed a lower flavor and color than soybean paste but B. mori pupa-fermented paste did not show any significant difference in preference from soybean. Glutamate, aspartate, lysine, phenylalanine, arginine, and serine were found to affect taste preference. It was possible to ferment edible insect protein to produce a fermented seasoning paste like Korean doenjang.

본 연구에서는 식품의약품안전처에서 식품 원료로 사용 허용이 된 갈색거저리 유충(Tenebrio molitor larvae, Mealworm), 쌍별귀뚜라미(Gryllus bimaculatus), 번데기(Bombyx mori pupa, Silkworm pupa) 등 단백질이 풍부한 식용곤충 원료를 이용하여 된장 형태의 조미료를 제조하였다. 또한 된장 제조 시 발효에 관여하는 대표적인 미생물인 A. oryzae와 B. subtilis 균주를 사용하여 메주분말과 입국을 제조한 후 선행연구에 따른 저염 된장의 발효방식을 이용하여 곤충의 페이스트형 발효조미료를 개발하고자 하였다. 식용곤충을 이용하여 제조한 페이스트형 발효조미료의 수분은 47.58-49.58%로 나타났고 염도는 11.34-11.99%의 값을 보였다. pH는 발효가 진행되면서 천천히 감소하였으며 TMP가 가장 낮은 값으로 나타났다. 적정산도는 모든 시료에서 발효기간이 지남에 따라 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 색도의 L값은 번데기 가장 높게 나타났으며, a값은 귀뚜라미와 번데기 비슷하게 나타났다. b값은 번데기 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 환원당의 경우 발효 기간에 따라 증가하다가 다시 감소하였으며, TMP의 환원당 함량을 가장 낮게 나타났다. 아미노질소는 모든 시료에서 발효 시간에 지남에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타났으며, TMP가 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 총 질소는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으며, 전반적으로 SBP에 비해 곤충소재 페이스트형 발효조미료가 높게 분석되었다. DPPH라디칼 제거능은 콩에 비해 곤충소재 페이스트형 발효조미료에서 높게 나타났으며, SPP가 80.95%로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 유리 아미노산 함량은 발효가 진행되면서 전반적으로 2배 이상 증가하였다. 또한 맛의 기호성과 상관성이 높은 아미노산으로는 글루탐산, 아스파트산, 라이신, 페닐알라닌, 아르지닌, 세린 등으로 분석되었다. 전반적인 향, 맛, 전체적 기호도의 경우 곤충소재 페이스트형 발효조미료는 콩 된장보다 낮은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 소비자들이 콩으로 만든 된장에 익숙해져 있는 상태로, 곤충소재에서 나타나는 특유의 맛이 전체적인 기호도에 영향을 미친 것으로 파악되었다. 곤충에 대한 관능적 차이는 있었으나 콩된장과 번데기로 만든 페이스트형 발효조미료는 유의적으로 비슷한 선호도를 보였다. 이를 통해 다양한 식용곤충 중에서 적절한 곤충을 선별하고 장류 미생물을 이용할 경우 차별화 된 페이스트형 발효조미료의 제조가 가능할 것으로 판단하였다.
