Changes in Textural Properties of Jeung-Pyon (Korean Traditional Fermented- and Steamed-Rice Bread) during Storage

증편의 저장 중 조직 특성 변화

This study was carried out to investigate the storage conditions and methods required for commercialization of Jeung-Pyon. The storage characteristics of Jeung-Pyon were examined with Universal Testing Machine (UTM, Instron model 1000) for textural properties during storage of under the conditions such as sealing, nonsealing, and temperatures. The differences in storage characteristics on the different varieties and years of rices were not shown. When the Jeung-Pyon was lost it's quality as a commercial product, the measured value of UTM was increased as hardness 0.74Kg to 1.0Kg, gumminess 0.23Kg to 0.59Kg, chewiness 6Kg.mm to 18Kg.mm, but decreased in adhesiveness 0.65Kg.mm to 0.40Kg.mm, cohesiveness 0.61 to 0.34, springiness 41mm to 32mm. The nonsealed Jeung-Pyon was lost it's quality for storing at room temperature because of the case-hardening after 2 days. In the case of sealed Jeung-Pyon, the case-hardening phenomena by the evaporation of moisture was not occured, therefore it was a significant factor for an extension in sealed Jeung-Pyon. The shelf-life of sealed Jeung-Pyon was 20 days and 5 days respectively during storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The sealed Jeung-Pyon stored at $5^{\circ}C$ was lost it's quality, in consideration of cold chain this temperature was suitable for retrogradation of starch. The Jeung-Pyon sealed with air and mosture proof packaging material stored at the accelerated condition as 92% R.H. and $35^{\circ}C$ lost it's quality within two or three days.

본 실험은 생산연도가 다른 통일계 품종의 쌀과 일반미를 이용하여 한국 전통 발효 쌀떡 '증편'의 공업화에 필요한 증편의 저장특성과 저장방법 등을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 증편의 저장특성은 밀봉한 것과 밀봉하지 않은 것, 그리고 각기 온도조건을 달리하여 저장하면서 조직특성을 UTM(Instron model 1000)으로 측정하였다. 생산연도와 품종에 따른 저장특성에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 저장 중 증편이 제품으로서의 품질을 상실할 때에는 hardness가 0.74Kg에서 1.0Kg으로 gumminess가 0.37Kg에서 0.45Kg으로, chewiness가 9.5Kg.mm에서 13Kg.mm로 그 값이 증가하고, adhesiveness는 0.51Kg.mm에서 0.43Kg.mm으로, cohesiveness는 $0.55{\rightarrow}0.44$로 springiness는 38mm에서 35mm로 그 값이 감소하였다. 증편을 제조하여 밀봉하지 않고 상온에서 저장한 경우는 2일이 경과하면서 표면이 경화되어 제품으로서의 가치를 상실하였고, 밀봉한 증편은 수분의 증발에 의한 표면 경화 현상이 발생하지 않아 증편을 포장재로 밀봉하는 것이 저장성 부여에 중요한 요인이 되었다. 밀봉한 증편을 각기 온도를 달리하여 저장하였을때 $-20^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$로 저장한 증편이 각각 20일, 5일 동안 저장성이 있었고, $5^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$로 저장한 증편은 저장 하루만에 제품으로서의 가치를 상실하여 저장 온도 조건으로서는 부적당하였다. $5^{\circ}C$로 저장한 밀봉한 증편은 저장 하루만에 증편 전체가 굳어져 제품성을 상실하였다.
