Abstract

The study investigated the roast color formation properties of ginseng upon soaking in threonine/sucrose solution followed by roasting. To determine operational parameters, including threonine concentration ($X_1$, 0.1~0.9%), sucrose concentration ($X_2$, 1.0~3.0%), and roasting temperature ($X_3$, $130{\sim}170^{\circ}C$), response surface methodology was applied to monitor color properties, including brown color intensity, Hunter's colors, and organoleptic color. Coefficients of determinations ($R^2$) of the models were above 0.8758 (P<0.05) in terms of brown color intensity and Hunter's color parameters. Brown color intensity of roasted ginseng extract was maximized in 0.70% threonine and 2.32% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of 25 min at $166.03^{\circ}C$. a values of roasted ginseng were maximized in 0.74% threonine and 2.19% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $165.40^{\circ}C$. b values of roasted ginseng were maximized in 0.61% threonine and 2.28% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $159.16^{\circ}C$. The maximum organoleptic color score of roasted ginseng extract was 7.27 in 0.53% threonine and 1.01% sucrose soaking solution under roasting conditions of $146.96^{\circ}C$.
