Abstract

Effect of freezing on the hydration rate and growth characteristics of bean sprout of two domestic cultivars of soybean, Eunha beans and Taegwang beans, was investigated. Freezing of the soybeans at $-80^{\circ}C$ affected characteristics of the hydration and growth of soybean sprout of the beans. Hydration rate of the frozen beans depended on the hydration temperature. It decreased up to 50% at lower than $60^{\circ}C$ of hydration temperature, but it did not decrease at higher than $60^{\circ}C$. Activation energies of frozen Eunha and Taegwang beans were 39.79 and 39.25 kJ/mol, respectively. Kinetic compensation effect between activation energy values and the pre-exponential factor for the hydration of soybeans with or without freezing was observed. Germination rate and thickness of the bean sprout increased by freezing, however, yield and weight were not affected by freezing.

은하콩과 태광콩의 수화속도 및 콩나물 생육 특성에 대한 동결처리의 효과를 수화반응에 대한 속도론적 연구와 콩나물의 재배실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 수화시간에 대한 동결처리의 영향은 침지온도에 따라 달랐는데, $60^{\circ}C$ 이하의 침지온도에서는 수화시간이 15-50% 정도 감소하였으며, $60^{\circ}C$ 이상의 침지온도에서는 수화시간이 감소하지 않았다. 동결 처리한 은하콩과 태광콩의 수화반응에 대한 활성화 에너지는 각각 39.79 및 39.25 kJ/mol로서 동결처리를 하지 않은 콩에 비해 약 20%정도 감소하였다. 은하콩과 태광콩은 동결처리에 의해 콩나물의 발아율, 길이 및 무게는 증가하였으며, 콩나물의 수율은 약간 감소하였고, 굵기는 콩의 품종에 따라 달랐다.
