Deonjang has been developed as a fermented food in Korea. It produces a distinctive flavors and tastes during the fermentation process. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of commercial deonjang certified for traditional foods. We investigated the amino nitrogen, sodium chloride(NaCl), total colony counts, coliforms, Bacillus cereus and isoflavone of 24 commercial deonjang samples certified for traditioinal foods. Deonjang showed wide ranges in amino nitrogen(105.76~318.93 mg%) and NaCl(12.53~16.51%). Survey distribution of microflora investigation in the total colony counts were detected in all 24 samples(100%), and the range is low $1.5{\times}10^6$ CFU/g, at the highest $2.5{\times}10^9$ CFU/g respectively. For the coliform, the following results were $0{\sim}5.0{\times}10^1$ CFU/g. B.cereus was detected in a total of four samples were $2.5{\times}10^3{\sim}3.3{\times}10^4$ CFU/g in the distribution. Daidzein of isoflavones showed the lowest at 86.7 ppm, 681.8 ppm range of the best shows and genistein as low as 0 to 50.0 ppm respectively. This research provided information for quality characteristics of commercial deonjang certified for traditional foods.

The quantitative detection of ochratoxin A (OT-A) in the traditional fermented foods were investigated to develop the analytical procedures, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) and Chemiluminescence Immunoassay(CIA). Products used were divided into two groups: the first was the home-made 13 Doenjang, 12 Kanjang, and 14 Gochujang; and the second the traditional commercial products, 17 Deonjang and 11 Kanjang, which collected throughout the country. The standard curve for the quantitative determination of OT-A showed that the sensitivities in ELISA and CIA were upto the level of 20 pg/assay, and that the OT-A recovery rates were appeared to be more than 90%. The residual OT-A in the home-made products were 7.1$\pm$3.7 ng/g for Deonjang, 2.1$\pm$4.1 ng/g Kanjang were found in the traditional commercial products. Residual OT-A in the home-made products was comparatively far less than that of the traditional commercial products. At heat stability test of OT-A in the traditional fermented foods was found to be stable even at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 120 min.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the quality characteristics of traditional and commercial soybean pastes (Doenjang) for development of traditional soybean pastes. Methods: Proximate compositions, amino acid nitrogen contents, pH, acidity, salt contents, chromaticity, viable bacteria and inorganic substance contents of nineteen traditional and three commercial Doenjang were investigated. Results: Analysis of proximate compositions indicated a significant difference between samples. In moisture content, D10 did not meet the standard of food codex. The contents of moisture, fat, protein and ash were slightly higher in traditional than commercial Doenjang. However, the carbohydrate content was 2-fold higher in commercial than traditional, and thus, the calories were also higher. The amino nitrogen content was lower in commercial than traditional Doenjang. pH, acidity and salt contents of Doenjang were pH 4.67-6.15, 1.53-3.29%, and 9.01-18.78%, respectively. pH and acidity showed no significant differences between traditional and commercial Doenjang, however, salt contents were significantly higher in traditional than commercial Doenjang. In case of chromaticity, the averages of L, a, b values were higher in traditional Doenjang. In microbiological analysis, total bacteria counts were higher in traditional than commercial Doenjang. The number of Bacillus cereus in D12 and D19 exceeded the standard of food codex. Staphylococcus aureust was undetected in all samples. The number of fungi varied widely between samples, with no detection in five traditional and all commercial Doenjang. Results of inorganic substance analysis indicated that contents of inorganic substances in Doenjang were in order of Na, K, Mg and Ca. Overall, Na content was higher in traditional Doenjang. Contents of inorganic substances showed wide variations in traditional Doenjang. Conclusion: For the development of traditional Doenjang, quality standardization and ensuring safety are considered necessary.

This study was attempted to standardize preparation methods of Korean foods; Chigae (Stew) such as Deonjang chigae (soybean stew) and Kimchi chigae (Kimchi stew). We followed cooking methods by using cookbooks, food service operation recipes, materials distributed by commercial food restaurants from their own experimental kitchens, and home recipes. Before this recipes were standardized, we thoroughly analyzed and modified them. The total yield and portions were determined together with material weights and procedures. And we evaluated food made by standardized recipes for acceptability, by taste panels from Sookmyung Women＇s University. It concluded that yield volune for doenjang chigae and kimchi chigae after cooking for 10 persons was 3 kg, optimum service temperature was 7$0^{\circ}C$, preparation time was 50 minutes, service volumes by one person was 300 g. This presentantion for the above on food materials and material weights, preparation methods as well as cautions and references are attached in this research paper.

This study was carried out to introduce the fuzzy theory to standardize recipe of Korean foods, such as Pibimbab, Deonjang chigae (soybean stew), and Kimchi chigae (Kimchi stew). That is recipe of Pibimbab using fuzzy theory. Before this recipe was introduced, it thoroughly analyzed a number of data on Korean food such as materials used by cook book, commercial food, restaurants, food service operation recipes, and home recipes. And then the recipe of Korean food, Pibimbab will be possible to be standardized by fuzzy theory. The theory of fuzzy set is a theory of graded concept. The theory has matured into a wide ranging collection of concepts and techniques for dealing with complex phenomena. It defined a Membership function of fuzzy set by analyzed four sorts of data on Korean food, Pibimbab, and it established the fuzzy model using the quantity of materials as input and sensory test scores as output. This study will contribute to develop standard recipe for Korean foods and expert system of recipes using computer system.
