Non-Enzymatic Browning Reaction of the Dried File-Fish

건조(乾燥) 말쥐치의 비효소적(非酵素的) 갈변(褐變)

A kinetical approach for the non-enzymatic browning reaction of the dried file-fish was studied. The reaction rates revealed a tend to increase with increasing water activity and showed the maximum at $0.75\;a_w$ The activation energies obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 12.5 to 16.5 Kcal/mole. From these energies of activation, the $Q_{10}$ values at $45^{\circ}C$ showed 1.9 to 2.3 and both activation energy and $Q_{10}$ values were reduced with increase in $a_w$ Shelf-lives, the time to reach an 0.15 O.D./g solid at which severe brown color change could be de ectable, decreased rapidly as the temperature and water activity increase. A storage study under a square-wave fluctuating temperature condition (at 35 and $55^{\circ}C$ periodically with 7 days interval), the rate constants at all water activities used in the experiments were higher than those at $45^{\circ}C$, the mean temperature of the cycle which affects other kinetic parameters including activation energies, $Q_{10}$ values and finally the shelf-lives. The data obtained from the fluctuating temperaure storage study will be used in prediction of shelf-life. The shelf lives assessed at $25^{\circ}C$ from the accelerated shelf-life tests ranged from 179 daysat $0.75\;a_w$ to 302 days at $0.44\;a_w$.

건조(乾燥) 말쥐치를 저장중(貯藏中)의 온도(溫度)와 수분활성(水分活性)을 달리하였을 때의 비효소적갈변(非酵素的褐變)을 반응속도론적(反應速度論的)으로 고찰(考察)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. (1) 비효소적갈변(非酵素的褐變)의 반응속도(反應速度)는 수분활성(水分活性) 0.75에서 가장 높았고, Arrhenius식(式)에서 계산(計算)한 활성화(活性化) 에너지는 $12.5{\sim}16.5kcal/mole$, $Q_{10}$치(値)는 $1.9{\sim}2.3$이었다. (2) $25^{\circ}C$에서의 shelf-life(O.D. 0.15/g solid에 도달하는 시간)는 179일(日)${\sim}$302일(日)의 범위였으며 온도(溫度)와 수분활성(水分活性)이 증가(增加)함에 따라 급격히 단축되었다. (3) 변온조건(變溫條件)에서의 저장실험결과(貯藏實驗結果)와 이론적으로 예측한 값 사이에는 ${\Delta}T_{eff}$가 $2.0{\sim}2.6^{\circ}C$로서 실측치(實測値)보다 낮은 값을 보였고, shelf-life는 예측치(豫測値)가 1주일(週日)정도 짧았으나 이 방면의 연구(硏究)가 더욱 진행(進行)된다면 변온저장(變溫貯藏)의 결과(結果)를 효율적으로 예측(豫測)할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
