Changes in Quality of Shiitake Mushroom(Lentinus edodes) by Different Drying Methods

건조방법에 따른 표고버섯의 품질변화

Shiitake mushrooms were dried by hot air, far infrared and freeze dryers in order to compare qualities after drying. When hot air drying was performed with the four temperature variations ranged from $45\;to\;70^{\circ}C$, there was tendency to increase volume retention but decrease rehydration ratio, as drying temperature increased. And the largest amout of 5'-GMP was contained in mushroom dried at $50^{\circ}C$. For far infrared drying, volume retentions were lower but rehydration ratios were higher, as compared with hot air drying at the same temperature. In freeze drying, freezing rate had no influence on volume retention but rehydration ratio was highest value when frozen at $-18^{\circ}C$. As shelf temperature increased(drying rate increased), rehydration ratio increased. Also, contents of 5'-AMP, 5'-GMP and 5'-XMP increased with the increase of freezing rate and drying rate.

건조표고버섯의 품질을 향상시키기 위해 열풍, 원적외선 및 냉동 건조시 건조조건이 품질에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. $45-70^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 열풍건조시 온도가 증가할수록 부피유지율은 높았으나 복수율은 낮았으며 5'-GMP 함량은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 건조한 것이 가장 많았다. 원적외선 전조는 같은 온도에서의 열풍건조에 비해 복수율은 높았으나 부피유지율이 낮았다. 냉동건조시 냉동속도에 따른 부피유지율의 차이는 뚜렷하지 않았지만 복수율은 $-18^{\circ}C$에서 냉동시킨 것이 가장 높았으며 건조속도에 의한 영향은 건조속도가 빠를수록 복수율이 증가하였다. 또한 냉동속도와 건조속도가 빠를수록 5'-AMP, 5'-GMP 와 5'-XMP 함량이 모두 증가하는 경향이었다.
