다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was carried out to select the most suitable soybean cultivars for the quality kanjang preparation. Six cultivars of soybean, Taekwangkong, Kumjungkong #1, Sinpaldalkong #2, Hwangkeumkong, Danbaegkong and Danyeobkong, were used as the raw materials for kanjang preparations. Grain type meju was prepared by the inoculation of Bacillus subtilis var. globigii seed culture on the cooked soybean of respective cultivar and cultivation at 30℃ for 10 days. Two month matured respective kanjang mash, which was prepared by mixing meju and 20% salt brine in the ratio of 1 : 3, was separated and the liquid portions were used as kanjang samples for this work. The highest crude protein content of 47.5% was obtained from Danbaegkong cultivar among six soybean cultivars tested. High sugar soybean cultivars were found to be Kumjungkong l and Danbaegkong and the content 15.87% and 13.33% respectively. The highest total nitrogen(TN) content of 1.18% was shown from Danbaegkong kanjang. Although the major free organic acid in kanjang was found to be succinic acid, no significant differences in free organic acid and sugars content were observed among cultivars. The highest free total amino acids(TA) and glutamic acid(GA) content in kanjang was observed to be 3365 ㎎% and 734.44 ㎎% respectively from Danbaegkong kanjang. Danbaegkong cultivar soybean which was shown to contain the highest crude protein was found to be the most suitable one for the preparation of quality kanjang with high TN, GA content and GA/TA ratio.
