Abstract

The effects of vinegar, alcohol, and vitamin C on the color, microorganism count, volatile flavor components, free sugar level, free amino acid concentration, and free fatty acid level of minced ginger were investigated during storage for 17 weeks at $10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;or\;30^{\circ}C$. Bacterial levels remained unchanged during storage and mold was not initially detected. Yeast levels in minced ginger were $5{\times}10^1$ CFU/g initially, and yeast was not detected after 2 weeks. The color values increased during storage at high temperature. The volatile flavor component levels decreased during high-temperature storage. The free sugars of minced ginger were glucose, sucrose, and fructose. Sugar levels did not vary greatly with storage temperature. Free amino acid content decreased during high-temperature storage, and glutamine, valine, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine, and leucine were detected. Free fatty acid content increased during storage and the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was 3:7.

본 연구에서는 식초, 주정 및 비타민 C 등의 첨가물을 넣어 제조한 생강다대기를 튜브용 용기에 담아 $10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$에서 각각 보관하면서 저장기간별로 미생물 수, 색도, 향기성분변화, 유리당, 유리아미노산 및 지방산의 특성변화를 살펴보았다. 생강다대기의 일반세균수는 저장기간 동안 미생물 수의 변화가 거의 없었고, 곰팡이의 경우 생강다대기에서 존재하지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 효모의 경우 저장초기 $5{\times}10^1$ CFU/g의 효모가 존재하였으나, 저장 2주경과 후부터 존재하지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 생강다대기의 저장 중 색도를 측정한 결과, 저장기간이 경과할수록 그리고 저장온도가 높을수록 색깔의 변화가 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 생강다대기의 저장온도에 따른 향기성분은 저장초기와 비교하여 17주 경과 후 생강다대기의 향기성분의 총 함량이 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 생강다대기 중의 유리당은 저장기간이 경과함에 따라서 sucrose 함량은 감소하고, fructose 및 glucose 함량은 증가하였다가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유리아미노산의 경우 저장온도가 높을수록 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 주요 아미노산 성분으로 glutamine, valine, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine 및 leucine이 검출되었다. 생강다대기의 지방산의 변화를 살펴본 결과 초기치 지방산 함량에 비하여 조금 증가한 결과를 나타내었고, 지방산의 조성으로 불포화 지방산보다 포화지방산의 비율이 높게 나타났다.
