Physicochemical properties of kochujang prepared with different concentration of turmeric were compared. The number of yeast and bacteria in the kochujang were low in the group with more than 1% of turmeric while the amylase and protease activity increased in the group with less than 1% of turmeric. The L- and b-values increased as the concentration of turmeric increased, however a-value decreased. The titratable acidity was low in the high percentage of turmeric added group. Oxidation-reduction potential increased in the later stage of fermentation with decrease in Aw. Reducing sugar and alcohol were high in than higher turmeric added group. Amino- and ammonia-type nitrogen were the highest in the 0.5% turmeric added group. The overall acceptability of kochujang was significantly more favorable (p<0.05) in the 0.25% turmeric added group than over 1% turmeric added one.
