Abstract

Clarified apple juice was prepared using different clarification methods including centrifugation, ultrafiltration (UF), and combined treatment (CT). Effects of clarification methods as well as other qualify parameters were investigated Clarification was clearly improved with an increase in centrifugation speed and towering temperature. Especially, lowering the temperature led to a decrease in turbidity values at 5,000 rpm. The optimum condition for centrifugation process was $5^{\circ}C$ and 10,000 rpm, respectively. UF and CT were very effective to produce clarified apple juice. The optimum condition of UF process was $45^{\circ}C$ and 150 kPa considering flux and turbidity. L*-values were increased while a*-values were decreased significantly after clarification regardless of methods (P<0.05). Vitamin C was most retained in the clarified samples using CT.

청징 사과주스 제조시 원심분리를 이용한 청징보다는 한외여과 또는 혼합처리에 의하여 효율적인 청징 사과주스를 제조할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 원심분리시 회전속도가 높고 저온에서 공정을 행할수록 청징효과가 개선되어 회전속도 증가뿐만 아니라 저온의 효과가 매우 뚜렷했다. 원심분리시 최적조건은 $5^{\circ}C$, 10,000rpm에서 10분이었다. 한외여과시 공정조건에 관계없이 청징효과가 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났는데, 한외여과 최적 공정조건은 투과플럭스와 청징효과를 고려해 볼 때 온도 및 압력이 각각 $45^{\circ}C$, 150 kPa이었다. 혼합공정 후에 청징효과가 뚜렷하게 개선되지 않았는데 이는 한외여과 공정을 거치면서 이미 일정 수준의 청징이 이루어 졌음을 의미한다. 한외여과 공정의 효율성은 색도의 변화에서도 간접적으로 측정할 수 있었는데 한외여과 처리된 시료의 L*값과 ${\Delta}E$는 가장 높고 반면 a*값은 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 비교하여 볼 때 한외여과 방법이 고품질의 청징 사과주스를 제조하는데 우수한 것으로 판단되며 또한 배제액 중의 고형성분은 식이섬유 강화 주스 제조 시에 첨가될 수 있는 이점이 있다.
