보리등겨로 제조한 간장의 발효 기간별 맛성분 변화를 조사하였다. pH의 변화는 숙성초기에 pH 5.7로 나타났으나 이후 $4.9{sim}5.1$로 일정하였다. 총질소는 숙성 90일째에 식품공전상 간장의 총질소 기준인 0.7%에 도달하였다. 유리당은 arabinose, xylose, fructose, glucose, 및 maltose 5종이 검출되었으며 휘발성 유기산으로는 acetic acid, propionic acid 및 butyric acid 3종이 검출되었다. 비휘발성 유기산으로는 lactic acid, fumaric acid, levulinic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, ${alpha}-ketoglutaric; acid$, citric acid 및 pyroglutamic acid 8종이 검출되었으며 특히, lactic acid는 기존 콩간장에 비해 거의 검출되지 않았다. 총 유리아미노산의 함량은 $442.9{sim}803.6;mg%$였으며, glutamic acid>proline>phenylalanine등의 순으로 높았다. 총 필수아미노산의 함량은 $151.9{sim}298.6;mg%$로 전체 아미노산 함량의 $34.3{sim}37.3%$였다. 관능검사 결과, 숙성 45일과 60일이 기호도가 가장 높았다.
The changes in taste components of kanjang made with barley bran during fermentation time were examined. The pH was gradually decreased and total nitrogen content reached to 0.7% at 90 days fermentation. Five kinds of free sugars, three kinds of volatile organic acid, and eight kinds of non-volatile organic acid were detected. Lactic acid known as abundant component in kanjang was not detected in kanjang made with barley bran. The content of free amino acid was $422.9{sim}803.6;mg%$. Glutamic acid was most abundant component among the amino acids, followed by proline and phenylalanine. Essential amino acid content was revealed $34.3{sim}37.3%$. Based on result of sensory evaluation, it was most comfortable to eat sample of fermentation $45{sim}60$ days.
