Processing Conditions and Quality Stability of Sardine Steak during Frozen Storage

정어리 스테이크의 가공 및 동결저장 중의 품질 안정성

For the purpose of improving the precooked frozen food, the processing conditions of sardine steaks and the effect of soybean protein and corn starch on quality of the products during frozen storage were investigated. Fresh sardines were purchased from Busan Central Whole Sale Market and filleted. And then sardine meats were separated from fillets by fish meat separator. The meats were mixed with 0.5% sodium bicarbonate, 1.5% of table salt and 0.2% of polyphosphate, monosodium glutamate, white pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg, respectively. The mixture was minced with the stone grinder and filled in polyvinylidene chloride film tube and then stored at $-3^{\circ}C$ for 36 hours prior to frozen storage. Sardine steaks containing 3% of soybean protein were superior to those of containing 3% of corn starch or without soybean protein and corn starch on texture and eating quality of them during the period of frozen storage. It is convinced that addition of 3% of soybean protein to the sardine steak was benefically effective for the control of free drip, oxidative rancidity and the improvement of texture. The quality of frozen sardine steaks, by sensory evaluation, were preserved in good eating quality for 90 days during frozen storage.

정어리냉동스테이크의 가공조건을 구명하고 아울러 대두단백질과 옥수수녹말의 첨가가 정어리스테이크의 품질안전성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 정어리스테이크를 가공하기 위해서는 정어리육에 대해 탄산수소나트륨 0.5%, 식염 1.5%, 축합인산염 0.2%, 설탕 2%, 글루탐산나트륨 0.2%, 향신료로서는 후추가루, 마늘가루 및 nutmeg을 각각 0.2%씩 첨가하여 고기갈이를 한 다음 $-3{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$에서 36시간 저장하여 텍스쳐를 개선시킨 후 동결저장하는 것이 가장 좋았다. 그리고 대두단백질을 3 %첨가한 제품이 유리드립, 가압드립, 색조변화, 단백질변성 지방산패억제 및 텍스쳐 개선효과 면에서 가장 우수했으며 관능검사결과 정어리스테이크는 동결저장 90일동안 품질이 안전하게 유지됨을 알 수 있었다.
