다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of this study was to determine whether sea cucumber flakes could be used in Gochujang. When the concentration of sea cucumber flakes added to Gochujang was increased from 0 to 3% or 5%, moisture content of sea cucumber flakes Gochujang was decreased from 44.13% to 5.52 or 5.58, respectively, although the difference in pH value between the 3% and 5% group was not statistically significant. Titratable acidity did not change with the addition of sea cucumber flakes. When the concentration of sea cucumber flakes added to Gochujang was increased from 0 to 3% or 5%, salinity of sea cucumber Gochujang was decreased from 8.83% to 7.92% or 7.42%, respectively. Amino-type nitrogen content was increased with the addition of sea cucumber flakes. However, the increase was not statistically significant. With increasing concentration of sea cucumber flakes added to Gochujang, color value a^* was decreased from 13.82 to 12.25 and 11.14, respectively. Sensory results showed that color, flavor, test, and overall acceptance of Gochujang were all improved after the addition of sea cucumber flakes. There was no significance in color, flavor, test, or overall acceptance between the 3% and the 5% concentration groups of sea cucumber Gochujang.
