Abstract

Response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimum roasting conditions (roasting temperature and time) for the high-quality Polygonatum odoratum tea which has been roasting with a traditional means. As quality criteria of Polygonatum odoratum tea, water-soluble solids, browning color, total phenolic compounds and electron-donating ability were proportionally increased with increased temperature and time of roasting conditions up to around $145^{\circ}C$ and 55 min, respectively, while they were decreased under the extended-roasting conditions. The optimum roasting temperature and time based on the organoleptic overall acceptability were $146^{\circ}C$ and 52 min, respectively. On the basis of superimposed contour maps for the tea characteristics, the optimum range of roasting conditions were $135{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ and $58{\sim}64$ min. Predicted values at the optimum conditions $(137^{\circ}C,\;60\;min)$ were in good agreement with experimental values.

전통적인 볶음방법으로 제조되고 있는 둥굴레차의 고품질화를 위하여 반응표면분석법에 의한 볶음조건을 최적화하였다. 둥굴레차의 품질지표로서 수용성 고형분, 갈색도, 페놀성 성분 및 전자공여 작용은 $145^{\circ}C$와 55분에서 나타나는 능선까지는 볶음온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 그 이상의 온도와 시간에서는 다시 줄어들었다. 둥굴레차의 관능적 품질로서 전반적인 기호도는 최대 관능평점을 나타낸 $146^{\circ}C$와 52분까지는 볶음온도와 시간이 증가할수록 높아졌으나, 최대점을 지나서는 온도가 높아지고 시간이 경과함에 따라 점점 줄어들었다. 이상과 같이 각각의 볶음조건에 따른 둥굴레차의 품질 특성을 종합하여 superimposed contour map을 작성한 결과 볶음온도 $135{\sim}140^{\circ}C$, 볶음시간 $58{\sim}64$분이 둥굴레차의 품질을 극대화시킬 수 있는 최적 볶음조건 범위로 나타났으며, 최적조건 범위내의 주어진 볶음조건$(137^{\circ}C,\;60\;min)$에서의 실험치는 예측치와 일치하였다.
