황기가 청국장 향기성분에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 청국장과 황기청국장을 제조하여 향기성분을 SDE, headspace, SPME 추출한 후 GC/MS로 정성하였다. 추출방법별 정성된 화합물의 수는 총 30개로 SDE 23개, headspace 6개, SPME 7개로 나타났다. 추출물을 관능기별로 구분하면 ketone류 6개, alcohol류 8개, heterocylic 화합물 3개, aldehyde류 3개, hydrocarbone류 6개, 기타 화합물 5개로 분류할 수 있다. 청국장의 주요향기성분으로 SDE 추출물은 3-hydroxy-2-butane, 2-furanmethanol, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol과 4-vinylphenol이었으며 headspace 추출물은 2,3-butanedione, 3-hydroxy-2-butane, ethanol, 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine과 acetic acid, SPME 추출물은 acetone, ethanol, 2,5-dimethyl pazine, tetrameyl pyrazine과 acetic acid이었다. 청국장의 특징적인 향기성분인 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine과 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine, tetramethyl pyrazine 함량은 청국장이 황기청국장에 비해 높게 나타내었다.
Aroma compounds in chungkukjang with Astragalus membranaceus (Hwangki) were extracted by the simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE), headspace and solid phase microextraction (SPME), and aroma compounds obtained by this method were identified with GC-MS. Thirty compounds were identified, including six ketones, eight alcohols, three heterocyclic compounds, three aldehydes, five hydrocarbones and five other compounds. Major aroma compounds were identified as 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 2-furanmethanol, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, and 4-vinylphenol in SDE, 2,3-butanedione, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, ethanol, 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine and acetic acid in headspace and acetone, ethanol, 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, tetramethyl pyrazine and acetic acid in SPME. The content of pyrazines identified in headspace and SPME methods was higher than that of SDE method, and the content of pyrazines containing 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine and tetramethyl pyrazine in chungkukjang was higher than that of Hwangki chungkukjang.
