Abstract

The moisture sorption behaviors of dry corn(DC). dry-corn (DCC) and soaked-rooked corn(SCC) at $25^{\circ}C$ were analyzed. The corn was soaked in water at $26^{\circ}C$ for 8hr. The cooking times for DCC and SCC were 30 and 20min. respectively, at $80^{\circ}C$. Desorption occurred for DC and DCC at RH below 23% and SCC at RH below 33% during storage. Moldiness was observed in all samples at RH 97%, after 192hr for DC and 288 hr for both DCC and SCC. At the same water activity. SCC sample had the highest moisture content, followed by DC. The SCC sample had the highest monolaver value and sorption heat. Stability isotherms indicated that DC and SCC had better storability than DCC.

옥수수의 장기저장을 위한 기초연구로서 건조옥수수 또는 침지옥수수를 $80^{\circ}C$에서 삶고 건조한 다음 이들 시료의 수분흡습성질을 저장온도 $25^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 23-97%에서 비교하였다. 건조옥수수는 상대습도 23% 이하에서, 침지옥수수는 33% 이하에서 탈습현상을 보였고, 상대습도 97%에서 건조옥수수는 192시간 후에, 삶은 옥수수는 288시간 후에 곰팡이가 발생되었다. 동일한 수분활성도에서 침지옥수수는 가장 높은 평형수분함량을 보였다. 단분자막층 수분함량과 흡습열은 침지옥수수의 경우가 가장 높았으며, 등온안정곡선으로부터 얻은 저장안정의 상대습도는 60-70%이었다.
