Effects of Cooking and Drying Methods on the Quality of Shrimp

새우의 품질에 미치는 가열 및 건조방법의 영향

Effects of cooking and drying methods on the quality of shrimp, Metapenaeus joyneri, were investigated. The cholesterol content of fresh shrimp was 81.4mg/100g of dry basis. It was $5{\sim}28%$ less in freeze dried shrimps as compared to hot air dried shrimps. The volatile basic nitrogen and trimethylamine contents of hot air dried shrimp was higher than those of freeze dried one, but total viable count of freeze dried shrimp was lower than that of hot air dried one. The color of cooked-shrimps was much brighter than uncooked-fresh shrimp. Freeze dried shrimp was lighter than hot air dried one. Total color difference $({\Delta}E)$, however, was opposite to its lightness. The mineral component of fresh shrimp was composed of calcium predominantly, followed by potassium and sodium, which were 96% of the total mineral contents. Cooking and drying methods did not affect the mineral content.

가열처리 및 건조방법이 새우의 품질에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 하였다. 생새우의 콜레스테롤 함량은 건물 100g당 81.4mg이었으며, 동결 건조한 것은 열풍건조한 것보다 그의 함량이 $5{\sim}28%$가 적었다. 새우의 신선도와 관계가 있는 volatile basic nitrogen과 trimethylamine의 함량은 열풍건조한 것이 동결건조한 것보다 이들의 함량이 높았고 세균수는 동결건조한 것이 열풍건조한 것보다 낮았다. 생새우를 가열하거나 건조하면 L값이 크게 상승하여 새우의 색깔이 밝아졌는데 동결건조한 것은 열풍건조한 것보다 그 폭이 더 컸고 색차는 L값과 반대현상을 나타냈다. 생새우의 무기질 중에는 칼슘 함량이 가장 많았고 그 다음은 칼륨, 나트륨이었으며, 이들 무기질 성분은 전체 무기질 성분의 96%를 차지하였으며 가열 및 건조방법에 따라 차이가 없었다.
