찹쌀로 담금한 찹쌀고오지 사용의 개량식고추장 숙성과정 중 휘발성향기성분을 purge and trap 장치로 포집하여 GC-MSD로 분석, 동정한 결과 alcohol 15종, ester 15종, acid 5종, aldehyde 5종, ketone 3종, alkane 1종, amine 1종, alkene 1종 등 46종의 향기성분이 동정되었다. 동정된 향기성분수는 담금 직후에 alcohol 6종, ester 6종, aldehyde 2종 등 21종이었으나 30일에 alcohol 3종, ester 5종을 비롯한 14종이 추가, 검출되어 34종으로 증가되었다. 150일에는 46종으로 향기성분수가 최대에 달하였다. 숙성 전 과정을 통하여 검출된 향기성분은 ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol 등 alcohol류 5종, ethyl acetate, 2-methylpropylacetate, ethylbutanoate, phenylacetate 등 ester 6종, aldehyde류 2종, 기타 7종 등 20종이었다. 향기성분의 면적비율은 고추장 담금 직후 ethenone, $30{sim}60$일에 ethylacetate, $90{sim}120$일에 ethanol, 150일에 3-methyl-1-butanol 이 가장 높았고 숙성기간에 따라서는 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol, methylbenzene 등도 면적비율이 높아 이들 성분이 찹쌀고오지 개량식고추장의 주요 휘발성향기성분으로 여겨진다.
Volatile flavor components of glutinous rice koji kochujang made by an improved method were analyzed by using a purge and trap method during fermentation and identified with GC-MSD. Twenty-one volatile flavor components detected immediately after making kochujang including 6 alcohols, 6 esters and 2 aldehydes. Forty-six volatile flavor components including 15 alcohols, 15 esters, 5 acids, 5 aldehydes, 1 alkane, 1 amine, 1 alkene and 3 others were found in an improved kochujang after 150 day of fermentation. Twenty kinds of flavor components, 5 alcohols such as ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol. 2-methyl-1-propanol, 6 ester such as ethyl acetate. 2-methylpropyl acetate, ethylbutanoate, phenylacetate, 2 aldehydes and 7 others were commonly found through the fermentation period. Peak area(%) of ethenone was the highest one among the volatile flavor components at immediately after mashing, and ethyl acetate showed the highest peak area after $30{sim}60$ day of fermentation, and ethanol showed the highest peak area after $90{sim}120$ day of fermentation, and 3-methyl-1-butanol showed the highest peak area after 150 day of fermentation(as major components). 2-Methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol and methylbenzene were detected in glutinous rice koji kochujang during the fermentation.
