Quality Characteristics of Calcium Acetate Prepared with Vinegars and Ash of Black Snail

식초와 다슬기회분을 이용하여 제조한 초산칼슘의 품질 특성

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of liquid calcium acetate (LCAs) and solid calcium acetate (SCAs), Br-LCA, Pe-LCA and Ap-LCA as liquid form, Br-SCA, Pe-SCA and Ap-SCA as solid form. Calcium acetate was prepared by reacting of vinegars [brown rice (Br), persimmons (Pe) and apple (Ap)] and ash of black snail in order to obtain natural water soluble calcium resources. The pHs of the vinegars for preparing calcium acetate (CA) were the range of 2.34 ∼ 3.06, and the contents of the ash of black snail which reacted to 100 mL of the vinegars were 20.43∼23.50 g. The yields of solid CAs from 100 mL of the vinegars were 11.02∼13.01 g. The colors of liquid and solid CAs were light yellow in Ap-LCA and Ap-SCA, brown in Br-LCA and Br-SCA, dark brown in Pe-LCA and Pe-SCA. Calcium contents of Br-LCA, Pe-LCA and Ap-LCA were 3.02, 2.06 and 2.30% (w/v), and those of Br-SCA, Pe-SCA and Ap-SCA were 27.15, 16.31 and 19.48% (w/w), respectively. The solubilities of the solid CAs were 36.82 ∼ 39.92% (w/v) in distilled water, 32.05 ∼ 39.04% (w/v) in Soju, 13.12 ∼ 18.65% (w/v) in thick soysauce, 38.35 ∼ 38.90% (w/v) in ionic beverage, 33.47 ∼ 35.58% (w/v) in yoghurt, while the solid CAs formed the curds in soymilk and milk. The sour and bitter taste of the CAs were lower, while the astringent taste, fishy flavor and savory taste were higher than those of standard CA.

천연의 수용성 칼슘자원을 얻기 위하여 현미식초(Br),감식초(Pe) 및 사과식초(Ap)와 다슬기 회분으로 제조한 액상 및 고상의 초산칼슘(LCA및 SCA) 즉, 액상으로 Br-LCA, Pe-LCA, Ap-LCA와 고상으로 Br-SCA, Pe-SCA, Ap-SCA의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 초산칼슘 제조용 식초의 pH는 2.34∼3.06 범위였으며, 식초 100 mL과 반응하는 다슬기 회분의 양은 20.43∼23.50g, 고상 초산칼슘의 수율은 11.02∼13.01%(w/v)이었다. Ap-LCA 및 Ap-SCA의 색상은 연한 황색을 띠었으나 Br-LCA 및 Br-SCA는 갈색, Ap-LCA 및 Ap-SCA는 진한 갈색을 띠었다. Br-LCA, Pe-LCA 및 Ap-LCA의 칼슘함량은 각각 3.02, 2.06 및 2.30%(w/v)이었으며, Br-SCA, Pe-SCA 및 Ap-SCA의 칼슘함량은 각각 27.15, 16.31 및 19.48%(w/w)이었다. 고상초산칼슘의 용해도는 증류수에서 36.82∼39.92%(w/v), 소주에서 32.05∼39.04%(w/v), 진간장에서 13.12∼18.65%(w/v), 이온음료에서 38.35∼38.90%(w/v), 요구르트에서 33.47∼35.58%(w/v)이었으며 두유와 우유에서는 curd를 생성하였다. 신맛과 쓴맛은 표준품에 비하여 낮았으나 떫은 맛, 비린 맛 및 맛난 맛은 높았다.
