The followings describes the result of making doenjang with added licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) powder. and investigating its sensory characteristics and physicochemical quality. General preference was high at 20% salinity and 2% licorice (LD204), and 16% salinity and 2% licorice (LD162). The moisture content was unchanged in the control group, while it was reduced in LD204 and LD162 in the first week of fermentation, but showed little change after then. pHs were all in the range 5.90~5.97 on day 0, but decreased from 5.90 to 5.72 in the control group in the fifth week. LD204 changed from 5.95 on day 0to 5.42 in the first week, and then it gradually increased again and became 5.93 in the fifth week, which was similar to that of day 0. LD162 was 5.97 on day 0 and showed cyclic slight increases and decreases in the first week. It increased to 6.32 in the fifth week, which was higher than that of day 0 that is, its pH was higher than that of LD204. The acidity showed a difference right after it was made. In the control group, lactic acid content gradually increased from 0.16% on day 0 to the highest, 0.59%, in the fourth week. It slightly decreased in the fifth week. LD204 slowly increased from 0.25% on day 0 to a maximum, 0.50%, in the fourth week. It also slightly decreased in the fifth week, quite similarly to that of the control group. LD162, gradually increased from 0.22% on day 0 to the highest, 0.49, in the third week, and decreased after the fourth week. Salinity was 29.5%, 22.0%, and 18% in each of the control group, LD204, and LD162 on day 0 but increased to 34.0%, 29.0%, and 26.0% in the fifth week. Soluble solid was $32^{\circ}Brix$, $28^{\circ}Brix$, and $26^{\circ}Brix$ in each of the control group, LD204, and LD162 on day 0, but slightly increased to $40^{\circ}Brix$, $32^{\circ}Brix$, and $30^{\circ}Brix$ on the fifth day. It is thought that because of the sweetness of licorice, the higher-salinity doenjang earned a higher sensory test score than that of traditional doenjang. If its salinity is lowered a little, it could be used as a sauce, even possibly having medical effects as well.
