초록

단체급식 및 대형 할인점에서 사용 및 판매되는 전처리 농산물중 급식에서 사용빈도가 높은 감자, 당근, 양배추에 대한 품질 평가를 실시하였다. 품질평가를 위해 관능 품질검사와 이화학적 분석이 이루어졌다. 전반적으로 대기업 급식업체에서 생산하는 전처리 농산물과 중소규모의 급식 납품업체에서 공급하는 제품 간의 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 학교급식에 납품하는 업체의 전처리 농산물이 관능 품질검사에서 높은 점수를 나타내어 학교급식에서 사용되는 전처리 농산물의 품질이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 대형할인점에서 판매하는 양배추, 당근, 감자의 품질은 개선의 여지가 보였다. 관능 품질 검사와 이화학적 분석 결과의 상관관계 분석에서는 "pH", "환원당"과 "산도"가 전처리된 양배추, 감자, 당근에서 관능 품질 검사 항목과 높은 상관관계를 나타냈고 이는 PLSR 분석을 통해서도 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 이들 농산물의 품질 검사에서 주요 분석항목으로 사용이 가능하리라 여겨진다. 전반적으로 단체급식에서 사용하는 전처리 농산물의 품질은 적정한 수준으로 여겨지나 가장 우려되는 부분이 식품의 안전성임을 고려할 때 다량 급식되는 식재료의 입고에서 조리-배식단계까지 주의가 확보되어야 할 것으로 여겨지고 실제 입고 후 조리 및 배식 전 과정에서의 분석이 향후 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was performed to investigate the quality of pre-processed vegetables used in school and institutional food-services. Pre-processed food materials (carrot, potato, and cabbage) frequently used in food-service were collected from 14 various processing company sources. The sensory and physico-chemical qualities of the pre-processed food materials were determined using sensory and instrumental analysis. For the physico-chemical analysis of the food materials, pH, total acidity, hardness, Hunter colorimeter value, reducing sugar and vitamin C content were determined. For the sensory quality evaluation, 15 panelist were trained and consensus was reached on the quality standards of the preprocessed materials (carrot, potato, and cabbage). Finally, appearance, color, texture, off-odor/taste, and overall quality were determined. In the physico-chemical analysis, there were no significant differences among samples collected from various processing companies. In sensory quality evaluations, the color quality of pre-processed potato was lower than that of other materials. From the coefficient correlations and partial least squares regression analysis between sensory and instrumental data, pH, total acidity, colorimeter values, and hardness were considered important components in assessing the quality of pre-processed vegetables.
