Improved Cooking Methods for Dry Beans and their Effects on Quality of Cooked Products

두류의 Quick Cooking방법 개발과 이것이 제품 품질에 미치는 영향

Soybeans ans black-eyed peas, chosen as test samples of dry beans, were subjected to soaking and cooking treatments to develop quick cookig methods and study their effects on quality of cooked products. The results of the study are summarized as follow: 1. Of the soaking methods tested, soaking soybeans in 3% sodium bicarbonate (SBC) solution and black-eyed peas in 0.5-1% SBC solution followed by cooking them in water at $95-100^{\circ}C$ required 40 minutes and 10 minutes of cooking time, respectively. When compared to 180 minutes of cooking time for soybeans and 40 minutes of that for black-eyed peas by conventional cooking method (Control), soaking dry beans in optimum SBC solutions reduced cooking time by over 80%. 2. Among cooking methods tested, steam cooking at $121^{\circ}C$ was the most effective one in reducing cooking time of soybeans (15 min.). Black-eyed peas sacked in water required 6 minutes of cooking time in 1% SBC solution at $95-100^{\circ}C$, and 5 minutes of that in steam at $121^{\circ}C$. 3. Quality of cooked beans with optimum texture was evaluated by sensory panel and Gardner Color Difference Meter. Beans cooked in steam at $121^{\circ}C$ had better overall quality than those cooked by other methods. Beans soaked in optimum SBC solution had quality as good as control, whereas beans cooked in SBC solution had worse quality than control. 4. These results indicated that cooking time of soybeans could be drastically reduced by either steam cooking at $121^{\circ}C$ or soaking in 3% SBC solution followed by cooking in water at $95-100^{\circ}C$. Cooking time of black-eyed peas could be significantly shortened by either steam cooking at $121^{\circ}C$ or soaking in 0.5-1% SBC solution followed by cooking in water at $95-100^{\circ}C$.

건조 두류의 시료로 선정한 대두와 동부의 cooking time을 단축시킬 수 있는 방법을 개발하기 위하여 대두와 동부를 몇가지 선정된 soaking 및 cooking 방법으로 처리하여 cooking time을 비교하고, 이런 처리가 제품의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Soaking방법중 대두를 3%SBC 용액에, 동부를 $0.5{\sim}1%SBC$ 용액에 침지한 후 $95{\sim}100^{\circ}C$의 물에서 cooking했을 때 cooking time은 각각 40 분과 10분이였다 이는 control에 비하여 80%의 cooking time 단축에 해당한다. 2. 대두의 cooking방법중 $121^{\circ}C$에서 steam cooking 하는 것이 cooking time 단축에 가장 효과적 이었고 (15분), 동부의 cooking시간은 1%SBC 용액에서 6분, $121^{\circ}C$ steam에서 5분이었다. 3. 최적 텍스쳐에 도달한 각 시료의 품질을 평가한 결과 전체적인 선호도에서 $121^{\circ}C$에서 steam cooking 한 젓이 제일 좋았고, 염용액에서 침지한 시료는 control과 대등했으며, 염용액에서 cooking 한 것은 control 보다 좋지 않았다. 4. 위 결과를 종합해 볼 때 두류를 단 시간에 cooking할 수 있는 방법으로 대두는 가압 steam cooking $(121^{\circ}C)$ 또는 3%SBC 용액에서 침지하는 것이 효과적 이었으며, 동부의 경우 $0.5{\sim}1%SBC$ 용액에 침지 또는 가압 steam cooking$(121^{\circ}C)$ 하는 것이 효과적이다.
