Abstract

Ginger was dried using maltodextrin or recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried ginger was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried samples in terms of color, moisture content, water activity, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and sensory properties. Ginger prepared using molecular press dehydration (MPD) retained its original color. The dehydration rate increased when ginger was dried using a dehydrating agent. The rehydration rate was increased in ginger dried using such an agent. Both dehydration and rehydration rates were elevated with increasing concentrations of soluble solids in the dehydration liquid. The sensory qualities of ginger prepared using the MPD method were better than those of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples. These results indicate that drying of ginger rhizomes using recycled dehydrating liquid is very efficient.

분자압축 탈수공정에 의한 색도변화는 재사용 탈수액을 적용한 건조공정에서 원물과 유사한 색도를 나타내었다. 수분 및 수분활성도에서도 유의적 경향이 일치하였다. 탈수액의 농도와 첨가량에 의한 탈수율과 복원율의 변화에서는 탈수액의 농도 차이에 따라 탈수율은 달라졌으며 농도가 커질수록 탈수율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 복원율 역시 탈수액 농도가 낮을수록 완만한 복원율을 나타내었고 탈수액의 농도가 높을수록 복원율이 높았다. 탈수액의 첨가량에 의한 탈수율과 복원율에 변화에서는 첨가량이 다른 탈수제 차이에 따라 탈수율과 복원율이 달라졌으며 첨가량이 커질수록 탈수액 농도와 같이 뚜렷하게 탈수율이 증가하고 복원율이 높게 나타났다. 관능평가를 통하여 탈수액의 농도와 첨가량별 탈수액을 적용하여 분자압축 탈수건조한 생강시료를 비교 하였을 때 모든 항목에서 열풍건조가 가장 낮았고 외관의 경우에서는 동결건조한 시료가 우수하였지만 전체적인 평가에 있어서 탈수액을 이용하여 건조한 생강이 가장 우수하였다. 이 처럼 모든 품질평가 항목의 결과를 통하여 탈수액을 적용한 건조방법이 열풍건조와 동결건조보다 품질이 우수하고 시설과 가격에서 경쟁적으로 우수하며 활용가치와 기존의 건조방법의 단점을 보완해 주는 건조 방법으로 판단이 되어진다.
