콩의 증자조건에 따른 검정콩 전통간장의 숙성 후 유리당, 유기산, 지방산조성을 조사하였다. pH 값은 5.04~5.32로 시험구간의 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았고, 원료 콩을 상압증자한 검정콩 간장이 가압이나 스팀보다는 약간 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 적정산도는 4.26~7.72 mL로 나타났으며, 가압 증자한 검정콩 간장(4.26~5.61 mL)이 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 상압(7.32 mL), 스팀(5.99~6.96 mL)의 순으로 나타났다. 환원
pH values in all samples were in the range of 5.04 to 5.32. pH of kanjang prepared with normal pressure(NPK) was higher than that of kanjang prepared with high pressure(HPK) and kanjang prepared with steam(SPK). Titratable acidity(TA) in all samples were found to be 4.26~7.72 mL. TA in HPK(5.99~6.96 mL) was lower than that in SPK(4.26~5.61 mL) and NPK(7.32 mL). Reducing sugar(RS) contents in all samples were in the range of 25.18 to 194.81 mg%. RS contents of HPK and SPK were a similar pattern and were higher than that of NPK. Major free sugars(FS) were glucose, fructose and xylose. In total FS, SPK was higher than that of NPK and HPK. Major organic acids(OA) were succinic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and citric acid. In total OA contents, SPK(40.38~76.96 mg%) was higher than that of NPK(55.85 mg%)and HPK(27.78~34.21mg%). OA contents in HPK and SPK were decreased slightly according to the heating time of whole black bean. The highest percentage of fatty acid (FA) in all samples was palmitic acid(33.28~43.51 % as area % of GC chromatogram), followed in a decreasing order by stearic acid(14.15~19.16%) and myristic acid(5.93~19.14%). The composition ratios of three FA to total FA ranged from 55.97 to 72.85&. In all samples, there was myristic acid that was not contained in raw soybean.
