Abstract

Dried soymilk residue(SMR) which was prepared by washing with ethanol and acetone, followed by drying at $60^{\circ}C$ was investigated for its sorption characteristics and the relationship between moisture content and water activity when it was mixed with wheat flour. During storage at $20^{\circ}C$ and various RH, an excess sorption phenomena was observed for solvent treated and dried SMR before equilibrium reached. A simple equation of log(dw/dt)=b log t+log a, where t is storage time(hr) and w is %$(H_2O)$ was drived for sorption or desorption rate of dried SMR at RH range of 12%-92%. From sorption isothermifigure, the moisture content(Mi) could be calculated from water activity by the equation of Mi=b Aw+a. The proposed equation was proved to have better fitness than those of the Smith isotherm equation or Lang and Steinberg equation for the mixture of dried SMR and wheat flour.

콩우유 비지를 acetone과 ethyl alcohol로 세척한뒤 $60^{\circ}C$에서 건조시킨 건조비지의 흡습특성(吸濕特性)과 건조비지를 밀가루에 혼합하였을때 수분함량과 수분활성도 간의 관계를 밝히고져 본 연구를 시행하였다. 건조비지는 상대습도(相對濕度)(RH)별(別)로 $20^{\circ}C$에서 저장중 평형 수분함량에 도달하기 전에 과흡습(過吸濕) 경향을 보였으며 저장중의 흡습농도(吸濕溫度)는 모든 RH에서 높은 상관계수를 갖는 log(dw/dt)=b log t+log a의 관계식으로 계산이 가능하였다. 또한 건조비지를 밀가루와 혼합하였을때 등온흡습곡선(等溫吸濕曲線)으로부터 얻어지는 수분함량(Mi)과 수분활성도(Aw)간의 관계는 Mi=b Aw+ a의 직선 관계식을 보여 주었다. 이 식(式)을 타연구자(他硏究者)들이 제안한 식(式)들과 비교할때 실측치(實測値)에 더 유사한 계산값을 보여 본 연구에서 제안한 식(式)이 건조 비지와 밀가루의 혼합물(混合物)에는 적합(適合)한 관계식이라 할 수 있었다.
