자체 제조한 초고추장에 무첨가, 주정 3% 첨가, 녹차추출물 1, 3, 5% 첨가, 주정 1%와 녹차추출물 1% 그리고 주정 1%와 녹차추출물 2% 첨가한 시료를 각각 준비한 후 3주 동안 25, 에 저장하면서 총균수, pH, 산도, 당도, 관능검사를 수행함으로써 초고추장의 품질변화를 조사하였다. 먼저 초고추장의 우점균주를 동점하기 위하여 분리된 균주를 16S rDNA 염기서열 분석을 수행한 결과 분리균주는 Bacillus amyloliquefa

The effect on quality improvement of Chokochujang by the addition of green tea extract (GT) was evaluated on the basis of total cell numbers, pH, acidity, sugar content and sensory evaluation during its storage at and for 3 weeks. A dorminant strain was isolated from the Chokochujang and identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ER282 based on the 16S rDNA sequence. The ethanol extract from GT was investigated for its antibacterial activity aid showed good activities enough to use for Chokochujang as a natural preservative. Growth of microorganisms was significantly inhibited by adding GT extract to Chokochujang but pH, acidity, sugar content and color was not much changed. Sensory evaluation and overall preference, however, was continuously declined as storage period increased, whereas the addtion of 3% GT extract could delay the quality loss of Chokochujang during storage at and for 3 weeks.
