Abstract

Quality changes in fresh-cut potatoes during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ after treatment with low-temperature blanching and antibrowning agents were studied. Fresh-cut potatoes were treated by dipping for 1.5 min in a browning inhibitor solution containing 0.5% (w/v) ascorbic acid, 0.5% (w/v) citric acid, 0.5% (w/v) sodium chloride, 0.1% (w/v) trehalose, and 0.005% (w/v) biotin, at $60^{\circ}C$, with subsequent cooling for 1.5 min and storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The browning properties of fresh-cut potatoes were examined by measurement of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and total phenolic content. Changes in quality attributes over a 14-day period were assessed in terms of titratable acidity, pH, water-soluble solid level, and gas analysis at $4^{\circ}C$. During storage, PPO activity increased, with the lowest activity seen after about 7 days of storage. Treatment with antibrowning solution at $4^{\circ}C$ increased visual sensory attributes during storage. Low-temperature blanching in distilled water more effectively inhibited browning compared with exposure to browning inhibitor solution, as assessed after 7 days of storage. Fresh-cut potatoes respired aerobically after different treatments during storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

신선절단 감자의 저장 중 갈변저해 및 일정 유통기한 확보를 목적으로 신선절단 감자에 갈변저해 물질과 blanching 처리를 적용 하였다. 사용된 갈변저해 물질은 다양한 갈변저해 물질을 조사하여 그 중 효과적인 갈변저해 현상을 나타내는 화합물 중 일부를 선정, 조합하여 갈변저해 용액(0.5% ascorbic acid+0.5% citric acid+0.5% sodium chloride+0.1% trehalose)으로 조제하고 침지 처리 하였다. 또한 이 갈변저해용액을 $60^{\circ}C$로 가온하여 저온 blanching 처리를 병행한 후 뚜껑이 있는 플라스틱(PET) 용기에 포장하여 $4^{\circ}C$에서 냉장저장 하면서 저장 중 품질 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 저장기간의 경과에 따라 포장용기 내부의 산소 농도가 감소하고 이산화탄소의 함량은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 신선절단 감자의 갈변을 가장 효과적으로 저해하는 구는 C.S.구(갈변저해용액에만 처리한 경우)로써 저장 14일 경까지도 매우 좋은 외관품질 상태를 유지하고 있었다. PPO 활성은 저장 초기 및 후기 모두 C.S.구에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 총페놀 함량은 모든 처리구에서 저장 후기로 갈수록 감소하였으나 저장 7일경 일시적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 저장 기간 경과에 따라 가용성 고형분의 함량은 증가하고 있었으며 pH와 적정산도는 각각 처리구 및 저장 기간에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 즉, 외관품질을 중심으로 C.S.구가 가장 효과적인 갈변저해 효과 및 저장품질을 나타내었다.
