Abstract

Sesame oil has superior oxidation stability and unique roasting flavor. Accordingly, this has been used for edible oil as well as a seasoning material for a long time in Korea. But sesame oil is a simple pressed oil, unrefined. During manufacturing process of roasting-expression, benzo(a)pyrene[B(a)P] formed as a strong carcinogenic substance causes a social problem. Detection of B(a)P in sesame oil was due to residual content in raw-sesame seeds and formation in roasting-expressing process. Especially, maximal forming process was roasting. Accordingly, in this study applied the traditional roasting method by roaster and microwaving method as a new type. Best roasting time by microwaving was for 5~10 min, B(a)P content in sesame oil was 0.53~0.79 ${\mu}g/kg$. These B(a)P contents showed 1/2 level than direct roasting method by roaster. As a result, B(a)P contents in sesame oil appeared the difference of more than 2 times according to roasting condition of sesame seed. For minimizing of B(a)P content in sesame oil is demanded roasting of sesame by microwaving than direct roasting by roaster.

참기름은 고소한 고유의 향미와 우수한 산화안정성으로 인하여 예로부터 우리 민족이 즐겨온 식용유 및 조미료의 일종으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 참기름은 다른 식용유지와 달리 화학적 정제공정을 거치지 않는 압착식용유로 이의 제조공정 중 볶음-압착공정에서 발암물질인 benzo(a)pyrene[B(a)P]이 다량 생성되는 것으로 알려져 사회적인 문제를 야기 시키고 있는 실정이다. 참기름에서 B(a)P가 검출되는 이유는 원료 참깨에 근본적으로 소량이 함유되어 있었으며, 볶음공정에서 가장 많은 양이 생성되었고, 압착공정에서도 일부 생성되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 참깨를 볶는 과정에서 기존의 볶음기를 이용한 방법에 비해 가정용 전자레인지를 이용한 microwaving 볶음을 적용해 본 결과 확연한 차이를 발견 하였다. 상대적으로 microwaving 볶음은 5~10분이 적합하였으며, 참기름 제품에서의 B(a)P 함량은 0.53~0.79 ${\mu}g/kg$으로 볶음기를 이용한 직화법에 비하여 그 함유량이 1/2 이하의 수준을 나타내었다. 이상에서 살펴 본 바와 같이 참깨의 볶음조건에 따라 참기름에서의 B(a)P 함량은 약 2배 이상의 차이를 나타내어 microwaving을 이용한 참깨의 볶음-착유공정이 참기름에서의 B(a)P 생성량 극소화에 절대적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다.
