Abstract

High hydrostatic pressure was applied to Foxtail Millet Takju to investigate the effects of high pressure on inactivation of microorganisms and enzymes. Total bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast in untreated Takju were $6.8{\times}10^7,\;1.3{\times}10^8\;and\;8.4{\times}10^7\;CFU/mL$, respectively. Total bacterial count in Takju reduced to $2.2{\times}10^5\;CFU/mL$, while lactic acid bacteria and yeast were sterilized completely when heated at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast decreased with the increase of treatment pressure, and pressurization of 400 MPa for 10 min at room temperature sterilized completely the lactic acid bacteria and yeast in Takju. Total bacteria were not sterilized with pressurization of even 600 MPa at room temperature. Total bacteria were completely sterilized at $66^{\circ}C/400\;MPa/60\;min\;and\;66^{\circ}C/600\;MPa/10\;min$. Pressurization of Takju caused a partial inactivation of ${\alpha}-amylase$, and after pressurization at 600 MPa for 10 min at room temperature, 73.2% of the original activity remained. The activity of glucoamylase increased with the increase of treatment pressure. Treatment at $66^{\circ}C/400\;MPa/10\;min$ reduced the activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ by 59.7% and glucoamylase by 20.5%. ${\alpha}-Amylase$ was inactivated to less than 1.2% of the original activity at $66^{\circ}C/600\;MPa/30\;min$.

좁쌀탁주를 초고압으로 처리하여 미생물 살균 및 효소불활성화의 효과를 측정하였다. 무처리 좁쌀탁주의 세균은 $6.8{\times}10^7\;CFU/mL$, 젖산균은 $1.3{\times}10^8\;CFU/mL$, 효모는 $8.4{\times}10^7\;CFU/mL$이었다. 좁쌀탁주를 상압에서 열처리($65^{\circ}C$/30분)하였을 때 젖산균과 효모는 완전히 사멸되었으나 세균은 $2.2{\times}10^5\;CFU/mL$ 잔존하였다. 좁쌀탁주를 초고압으로 처리한 결과 젖산균과 효모는 압력의 증가에 따라 급격히 감소하였으며, 400 MPa에서는 완전히 사멸되었다. 세균은 상온에서 압력을 600 MPa로 높여도 멸균되지 않았으며, 400 MPa/10분에서 처리온도의 증가에 따라 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, $66^{\circ}C$에서도 완전히 사멸되지 않았으며, $66^{\circ}C/400$ MPa에서 60분, 600 MPa에서 10분 처리로 완전히 사멸되었다. ${\alpha}-amylase$의 활성은 처리압력의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며, 상온/600 MPa/10분에서 73.2% 잔존한 반면, glucoamylase의 활성은 압력의 증가에 따라 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 400 MPa에서 처리온도의 증가에 따라 ${\alpha}-amylase$와 glucoamylase 모두 활성이 감소하였는데, $66^{\circ}C$에서 ${\alpha}-amylase$는 59.7%, glucoamylase는 20.5% 불활성화되었다. 가열처리($65^{\circ}C$, 30 분)에 의한 ${\alpha}-amylase$의 잔존활성은 14.1%이었는데 반하여, $66^{\circ}C/600\;MPa$에서 30분 처리로 잔존활성이 1.2% 이하가 되었다.
