Abstract

The qualities of ginger prepared by an MPD (molecular press dehydration) method using maltodextrin, or dried using reused dehydration liquid, or prepared by freeze-drying or hot-air drying, were compared in terms of approximate overall composition, color, water absorption index, water solubility index, total sugar level, reducing sugar concentration, antioxidant activity, and gingerol content. The approximate composition of ginger prepared by the MPD method was lower in overall biochemical content than were those of gingers prepared using other methods. Ginger prepared by the MPD method retained the original ginger color. The water absorption and solubility index of ginger prepared by the MPD method (using maltodextrin) were better than those of gingers dried using other methods. The total sugar content did not change noticeably upon processing. The reducing sugar content of ginger prepared by hot-air drying was low. The antioxidant activity of ginger prepared by the MPD method was higher than that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried ginger samples, with values lower than those of BHA (3(2)-t-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole) and BHT (2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol). The gingerol content of ginger prepared by the freeze-drying method was higher than that of gingers prepared by other methods. However, ginger constituents were present in the dehydration liquid used in the MPD method. The results indicate that both the MPD method (using maltodextrin) and the use of reused dehydration liquid are efficient methods by which ginger can be dried.

최적화된 분자압축 탈수건조 생강에 열풍건조, 동결건조, 재사용 탈수액을 사용한 탈수건조 생강을 비교하여 품질평가를 실시하였다. 품질평가항목은 일반성분, 색도, 수분흡수지수(WAI) 및 수분용해지수(WSI), 총당, 환원당, DPPH 항산화활성 측정, gingerol 함량 측정을 통하여 생강의 품질을 비교하였다. 일반성분의 경우 분자압축 탈수 건조한 생강이 열풍건조 및 동결 건조한 생강보다는 낮았지만 이는 탈수액으로 성분이 용출되는 공정의 특성의 차이로 나타나는 현상이였다. 색도에서는 분자압축 탈수 건조한 생강이 다른 건조조건의 생강보다 원물의 상태의 색을 유지하였다. 수분흡수지수(WAI) 및 수분용해지수(WSI)에서는 열풍 건조된 시료가 수분흡수지수가 가장 높았고 분자압축 탈수 건조한 시료는 표면수분을 적용한 수분함량과 수분활성도에 비교하여 낮게 나타났다. 이 결과를 통하여 판단할 때 분자압축 탈수공정을 적용한 생강이 수분흡수지수(WAI)와 수분용해지수(WSI)에서 우수하다고 판단된다. 총당의 경우 유의적인 차이는 없었지만 분자압축 탈수 건조한 생강이 비교적 높았다. 환원당은 열풍 건조한 생강시료가 비교적 높았으며 이는 갈변에 영향을 미친다고 판단된다. DPPH를 통한 항산화활성 측정에서 BHA, BHT 보다 낮았지만 다른 건조방법 보다는 분자압축 탈수 건조한 생강이 항산화활성이 높았다. Gingerol 함량 측정은 건조방법에 따라한 건조한 분말을 측정하였으며 동결건조가 가장 우수하였다. 하지만 분자압축 탈수건조한 생강의 경우 다른 건조방법 보다는 낮았지만 탈수액에 형성되는 gingerol이 발생하기 때문에 활용가치와 기능성면에서 우수하다고 판단된다. 이 처럼 모든 품질평가 항목의 결과를 통하여 분자압축 탈수건조가 이전에 열풍건조와 동결건조보다 품질이 우수하고 시설과 가격에서 경쟁적으로 우수하며 활용가치와 기존의 건조방법의 단점을 보완해 주는 건조방법으로 판단이 되어진다.
