Abstract

Effects of gamma-irradiation of 1 to 10 kGy on the microbial growth, contents of amino acids, fatty acids, and free sugars, and changes in acid values in soybean powder were studied. Irradiation doses at $3{\sim}5\;kGy$ inhibited the mold growth completely in two kinds of imported soybean powders. Contents of sulfur-containing amino acids, such as cysteine, in both soybean powders decreased with irradiation, whereas no significant changes in free amino acid and fatty acid contents of both soybean powders were observed. Free sugar contents of stachyose and sucrose in Chinese soybean powder decreased with increasing irradiation dose level, whereas, those of other sugars remained unchanged. Results of this study confirm that $3{\sim}5\;kGy$ irradiation can be safely applied to apply to soybean powder without causing significant quality deteriorations microbiologically and chemically.

분말상 원료인 대두분의 저장유통시 발생할 수 있는 품질변화를 최소한으로 줄이고 안전성을 확보하기 위해서 감마선 조사를 실시하고 대두분의 미생물학적 및 이화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 감마선 조사$(1{\sim}10\;kGy)$한 대두분의 미생물학적 및 이화학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 총세균수, 곰팡이, 아미노산, 지방산조성 유리당조성, 산가 등의 변화를 조사하여 살균효과 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 비교 검토하였다. 즉 2종의 수입산 대두분의 경우 $3{\sim}5\;kGy$ 조사로써 곰팡이를 완전히 사멸할 수 있었고, 총균수에 있어서도 미생물학적으로 안전한 수준이하로 살균이 가능하였다. 총아미노산의 경우 함황 아미노산인 cysteine이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유리 아미노산, 지방산은 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 감마선 조사에 따른 대두분의 유리당 조성의 변화는 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 stachyose, sucrose가 감소하는 경향이 나타났으나 나머지 당들은 변화가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 두부제조 원료로 대두분말이 허용됨에 따라 발생할 수 있는 안전성 문제는 감마선을 $3{\sim}5\;kGy$ 수준의 선량으로 조사함으로써 품질변화 없이 해결할 수 있는 가능성이 인정되었다.
