Browning of commercial Doenjang product during storage and marketing is a main concern in the industry. There have been many studies on the improvement on the quality of Doenjang. In this study, phosphate and gas absorber treatments ware introduced in manufacturing of Doenjang to improve the color of commercial Doenjang.
Doenjang treated with phosphate and gas absorber(sample C), Doenjang treated with phosphate only (sample B), and the control were prepared and their physicochemical and sensory properties were determined during storage at 30℃ for 28 days. Sample C was the best in terms of color as well as sensory evaluation according to panel test, resulting in preventing browning of Doenjang during storage. Sample B was also better than control. These results suggest that commercial production of Doenjang should introduce phosphate and gas absorber treatment to improve the quality of Doenjang and prevent undesirable browning reaction during storage and marketing.
