Abstract

In this study, we have developed taste and other functional enhancements of yam chips, from tasteless and flavorless yam slices, through the process of soaking freeze-dried yam in different commercially available juices, including apple, omija (fruit of Maximowiczia typica), grape, wild grape, orange, tomato, red ginseng, and black garlic juice. The analyses of color (brightness, redness and yellowness), pH, brix, acidity, total polyphenol, total flavonoids, total sugar and reducing sugar, DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity, reducing power and nitrite scavenging activity, of the different yam chips showed that the freeze-dried yam slices absorb various components of fruit juices, such as flavonoids, sugars, organic acids and flavors, during the soaking process. These changes resulted in increased taste (both sweet and sour tastes), flavor and antioxidant activity in the yam chips. The soaking time for yam slices in juice is considered to be a crucial factor for the taste and bioactivity of yam chips. In the case of grape juice-yam chips, which had the highest preference among the 8 different chips, the optimum soaking time was noted as 120 seconds. The optimization of the soaking process is necessary for various juices. These results suggest that taste, and other functional enhancements, in yam chips can be developed by juice-soaking and freeze-drying methods.

본 연구에서는 무미, 무취의 생마로부터 생리활성과 관능성이 강화된 산약칩 가공제품 개발을 목표로, 사과, 오미자, 포도, 머루, 오렌지, 토마토, 홍삼 및 흑마늘 주스에 동결건조 생마절편을 침지하여 과실주스의 관능성분 및 유용활성 성분을 흡착시키고, 이를 다시 동결건조하여 산약칩을 제조하였다. 제조된 산약칩의 색차 (명도, 적색도 및 황색도), pH, brix, 산도, 총폴리페놀, 총플라보노이드, 총당, 환원당 함량 및 항산화 활성, nitrite 소거능을 평가한 결과, 산약칩은 동결건조한 생마절편에 비해 과일주스의 단맛과 상쾌함, 과일 색소로 인한 시각적인 관능성 증대, 총폴리페놀 함량 증가에 따른 항산화능 증대 등 유용생리활성과 관능성이 증가되었음을 확인하였다. 선호도가 높은 포도주스 산약칩 제조를 위한 최적 생마 침지시간을 평가한 결과, 120초 침지가 관능성 및 항산화능이 가장 증가되어 있음을 확인하였다. 향후, 다양한 과일주스 산약칩 제조를 위한 침지 및 제조조건의 최적화 연구 및 기호도 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구결과는 생마를 이용한 고부가가치 가공식품 제조의 기초자료로 이용될 것이며, 무미, 무취의 생마로부터 기능성과 관능성이 강화된 산약칩 가공제품 생산이 가능함을 제시한다.
