Abstract

Quality of commercial salted and fermented fish sauce was evaluated through physicochemical and sensory analyses. Moisture contents of all samples tested except one salted and fermented sandlance sauce were acceptable. Salinity of some samples was higher than that of Korean food standard. Higher contents of total nitrogen (TN) and amino nitrogen (AN) resulted in higher levels of specific gravity, pure extract and solid of some samples. Two salted and fermented anchovy and three salted and fermented sandlance sauce samples showed lower levels of TN and AN than those of Korean food standards. TN, AN, specific gravity, pure extract, solid, and volatile basic nitrogen levels highly correlated with sensory scores, indicating that these values could be used as quality parameters to evaluate salted and fermented fish sauce quality.

시판 액젓류에 대해 객관적이고 과학적인 품질평가방법 및 품질 표준화를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 현재 시중에 시판되고 있는 멸치액젓 19종과 까나리액젓 23종에 대하여 이화학적 및 관능적 특성을 분석하여 품질을 파악하고, 액젓류의 관능적 특성과 품질지표와의 상관성을 비교 검토하였다. 수분의 경우 멸치액젓은 규격에 적합한 것으로 나타났으나 까나리액젓은 1종이 수산전통식품 품목별 품질기준을 초과하였다. 식염 농도의 경우 일부 제품에서 높은 식염함량을 나타내 국내 품질규격에 적합하지 않는 고식염 제품들이 제조되고 있음을 알수 있었다. pH, 회분, 비중, 순추출물, 휘발성염기질소, 총질소 및 아미노산질소함량은 제조회사별로 다양하게 나타나 품질에 상당한 차이를 보였으며 이들 중 총질소 및 아미노산질소함량이 식품공전규격이나 수산전통식품 품목별 품질기준에 미달인 제품이 멸치액젓 2종, 까나리액젓 3종이었으며, 멸치액젓에 국한한 한국산업규격인 총질소 1.2% 이상에 미달인 제품은 모두 4종으로 나타나 품질에 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 관능검사와의 상관관계에서 현재 규격기준인 총질소와 아미노산질소 및 비중, 순추출물, 고형분, 휘발성염기질소가 상관성이 큰 것으로 나타나 품질평가 기준의 지표로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
