Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured by Lactobacillus acidophilus on the physical characteristics of cooked noodle. Different scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis results for noodle gelatinization showed that the noodles containing flour ferment had higher enthalphy values than the control noodle. And based on the degree of retrogradation for the noodles containing the flour ferment, enthalpy decreased as the amount of the ferment increased, resulting in the delay effect on the retrogradation. According to textural property evaluations over a storage period, the noodles containing the flour ferment had increases in hardness and cohesiveness, and the springiness of the control group was higher than that of the noodles containing the flour ferment; however, this difference between groups gradually disappeared with increasing storage time. Finally, the noodles containing 10% flour ferment had a higher overall preference score than the control group, indicating that the addition of the flour ferment during noodle production can have a beneficial effect on the preference.

밀가루에 정상발효 젖산균인 Lactobacillus acidophilus를 배양하여 면 제조시 발효물로서 이의 실용 가능성을 조사하기 위해서 본 실험은 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 발효물의 첨가에 따른 면의 호화도를 DSC를 이용하여 측정한 결과, 발효물을 첨가한 면의 엔탈피가 대조구보다 높았으며 면의 노화도는 첨가되는 발효물의 양이 많을수록 엔탈피가 감소되어 면의 노화의 억제 효과를 나타냈다. 물성 측정에서는 응집성은 대조구가 높았고, 점착성은 대조구가 낮았다. 탄성은 대조구가 발효물 첨가구보다 높았으나 시간이 경과하면서 초기의 차이가 점차 좁혀져 12일 후에는 거의 차이가 없는 탄성을 갖게 되었다. 관능검사에서는 맛에 대한 유의적 차이가 없었고 조직감은 대조구와 같았으며 전반적인 기호도는 발효물이 10% 첨가된 면이 대조구보다도 높게 나타나, 면 제조 시 20%까지의 발효물 첨가는 기호도에 좋은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 Lactobacillusacidophilus를 이용한 밀가루 발효물을 제면산업에 이용할 경우에는 유익한 품질개선 효과를 가져다 줄 것으로 생각된다.
