찹쌀로 담금한 콩고오지 사용의 개량식 고추장 숙성과정 중 휘발성 향기성분을 purge and trap 장치로 포집하여 GC-MSD로 분석 , 동정한 결과 alcohol 16종, ester 15종, acid 7종, aldehyde 4종, alkane 5종, ketone 3종, benzene 1종, alkene 1종, phenol 2졸, 기타 2종 등 56종의 휘발성 향기성분이 동정되었다. 동정된 향기성분 수는 담금직후에 alcohol 9종, ester 8종, aldehyde 3종 등 총 32종이 검출되었으나, 30일에는 alcohol 5종, ester 6종을 비롯한 15종이 추가 검출되어 46종으로 증가되었다. 90일에는 55종으로 향기성분 수가 최대에 달하였다. 숙성 전 과정을 통하여 검출된 향기성분은 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol 등 alcohol류 9종, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 2-methylpropyl acetate 등 ester류 8종, butanal, acetaldehyde, furfural 등 aldehyde 3종, 기타 11종 등 총 31종이었다. 향기성분의 면적비율(peak area%)은 숙성기간에 따라 다소 차이가 있으나 ethanol. ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1 -butanol 등이 높아 이들 성분이 콩고오지사용 고추장의 향미 주 성분으로 나타났다 이들성분 중 숙성시기별로 가장 높은 면적비율을 보인 향기성분은 담금직후와 90일에 ethanol, $30{sim}60$일에는 ethyl acetate 가, $120{sim}150$일에는 3-methyl-butanol 이었다.
Volatile flavor components of soybean koji kochujang made from a glutinuous rice by improved method were analyzed by using a purge and trap method during fermentation, and identified with GC-MSD. Fifty-six volatile flavor components including 16 alcohols, 15 esters, 7 acids, 4 aldehydes, 5 alkanes, 3 ketones, 1 benzene, 1 alkene, 2 phenol and 2 others were found in improved kochujang. The number of volatile flavor components detected immediately after making kochujang were 32 and increased to 46 components after 30 day of fermentation. The most number 55 of volatile flavor components were found after 90 day of fermentation. Thirty-one kinds of volatile flavor components were commonly found through the fermentation period 9 alcohols such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 8 esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 3 aldehydes such as butanal, acetaldehyde, furfural and 11 othesrs. Although the various types of peak areas (%) of volatile flavor components were shown in kochujang during the fermentation days, ethanol. ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol were mainly detected during fermentation. Those might be the major volatile flavor components in kochujang made by improved method. Peak area of ethanol was the highest one among the volatile flavor components at immediately after mashing and 90 day while ethyl acetate showed the highest Peak area after $30{sim}60$ day of fermentation and 3-methyl-1-butanol showed the highest peak area after $120{sim}150$ day of fermentation.
