Abstract

To study the effect of freezing rate on the quality of freeze-dried rice porridge, freeze-dried rice porridge products were prepared with rice porridge pre-frozen at three different temperatures of -20, -40, and -70$^{\circ}C$. The porridge properties such as microstructure, mechanical properties, textural properties, and rehydration rate were determined. Scanning electron microscopy images indicated that fewer air cells were obtained with a larger size of freeze-dried rice porridge frozen at -20$^{\circ}C$ compared with that frozen at -40 and -70$^{\circ}C$. In contrast, quick frozen products at -70$^{\circ}C$ had more dense texture with higher mechanical strength, whereas slow frozen products exhibited higher rehydration rates than those of quick frozen products. In conclusion, the proper choice of pre-freezing temperature plays a decisive role when preparing freeze-dried rice porridge with optimum quality and convenience.

동결건조 쌀죽의 품질특성에 미치는 동결속도의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 쌀죽을 -20, -40, -70$^{\circ}C$의 동결 온도에서 동결시킨 후 동결건조시킨 제품을 제조하여 이들 제품의 미세구조, 물리적 강도, 조직감 및 재수화율을 조사하였다. 전자주사현미경을 통한 이들 제품의 미세구조를 관찰한 결과 완만동결(-20$^{\circ}C$)시킨 것이 급속동결(-70$^{\circ}C$)에 비해 공극의 크기가 크고 그 수가 적었다. 반면에 급속동결시킨 제품은 보다 조직이 치밀하고 물리적인 강도가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 큰 값을 나타냈다. 수화복원율은 -20$^{\circ}C$에서 동결시킨 제품이 -40, -70$^{\circ}C$에서 동결시킨 제품보다 높았다. 따라서 품질이 우수하고 사용이 간편한 동결건조 쌀죽을 제조하기 위해서는 최적의 동결 온도의 선택이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다.
