Abstract

Softening effects of enzyme following pre-treatments were examined. Four pre-treatments: raw (R), heat (H), heat and freeze-thawing (HFT), heat and freeze-drying (HFD) were applied to carrot. Subsequently, each treated sample was immersed in 10% celluclast enzyme solution for up to 6 h and then their properties were compared. The minimum and the maximum color change was observed in HFD and H, respectively. R showed no change in hardness after 6 h immersion, indicating that the enzyme did not penetrate the carrot. The number and size of pores were greater in samples undergone HFT or HFD as observed by microstructure analysis using SEM, and HFD caused 99.5% reduction in hardness after 6 h immersion. After 6 h immersion post-HFT or 3 h immersion post-HFD, the hardness was less than $20,000N/m^2$, indicating tongue ingestion was possible, and the samples retained their original shape and easily collapsed by spoon pressing.

당근에 4종의 각기 다른 전처리, 즉 무처리(R), 열처리(H), 열처리 후 냉동해동(HFT), 열처리 후 냉동건조(HFD)한 후 셀룰로스 가수분해 효소용액에 침지하면서 효소에 의한 연화효과를 비교하였다. 당근 연화에 사용된 셀룰로스 가수분해 효소의 활성은 1500 U/mL로 측정되었으며 시료 처리 6시간까지 활성이 일정하게 유지되었다. H 시료의 경도는 무처리군에 비해 약 1/10 수준으로 감소하였고 HFT와 HFD는 약 93.2, 94.8% 감소하였다. 무처리군은 효소액에 침지 6시간이 지나도 경도의 유의미한 변화가 없었다. H 시료는 효소액 침지 3시간 후부터 유의적 경도 감소가 나타났으며 6시간 경과 후에는 효소처리 전과 비교하였을 때 약 58.3% 감소하였다. HFT처리군은 효소액 침지 1시간 경과 후부터 경도가 유의적으로 낮아졌으며 6시간 침지 후에는 효소 처리 전 경도의 약 1/5 수준으로 감소하였다. 가장 연화가 많이 된 처리군은 HFD로 무처리군의 경도와 비교했을 때 99.5%로 감소하는 연화효과를 보인다. 당근의 색도는 다양한 처리 시에도 크게 변하지 않으며 안정적인 처리가 가능하다고 보여진다. 전자현미경을 이용하여 당근의 조직을 관찰한 결과 전처리에 따라 미세구조의 변화가 확인되었는데, 6시간 효소용액에 침지된 HFT와 HFD처리군은 눈에 띄게 조직이 얇아지고 조직사이의 공극이 넓어지고, 크기도 커진 것으로 보아 전처리에 의해 미세구조가 변화되고 이로 인해 효소가 효과적으로 연화작용을 한 것으로 보여진다. 모든 실험군은 원물의 형태를 유지하였고 HFT시료는 효소액 침지 6시간 이후, HFD시료는 침지 3시간 이후 경도 $20,000N/m^2$의 "혀로 섭취 가능" 단계까지 연화되었으며 이는 외관상 숟가락의 둥근 면으로 살짝 눌렀을 때, 시료가 완전히 뭉개질 정도의 수준이었다.
