Effect of Dextrin on Sorption Characteristics and Quality of Vacuum Frying Dried Carrot

감압유탕 건조당근의 흡습특성 및 품질에 미치는 덱스트린의 영향

The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of dextrin on vacuum frying dried carrots. The concentrations of dextrin solution were 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and the criteria for quality evaluation were sorption characteristics, rehydration power, color and crispness differences. The sorption characteristics were evaluated by Peleg's equation. Rehydration, color and crispness were determined by rehydration percentage, colorimetry and sensory evaluation, respectively. The dextrin pretreatment of carrot resulted in the reduction of adsorption rate and the equilibrium moisture content of dried carrot at various range of relative humidities, and the adsorption rate of samples pretreated with aqueous dextrin solution at different temperatures($4^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$) were in the following decreasing order : control>10% dextrin>20% dextrin>30% dextrin. As the concentration of dextrin solution and ambient temperature increased, BET monomolecular layer moisture content decreased significantly. In addition, as the concentration of dextrin solution increased, the crispness intensity increased and the color of sample treated with 20% dextrin solution was similar to that of raw carrot.

본 연구는 감압유탕 당근스낵의 품질에 미치는 dextrin의 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 전처리 용액으로는 0%, 10%, 20% 및 30%의 dextrin 용액을 사용하였으며, 제조된 감압유탕 건조당근의 흡습성, 복원성. 색도 및 crispness를 조사 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. Dextrin의 농도에 따른 평형수분함량과 흡습속도는 control>10% dextrin>20% dextrin>30% dextrin의 순이었고, BET 단분자막 수분함량은 저장온도가 높을 수록 감소하었고 dextrin 전처리한 시료들의 BET 단분자막 수분함량은 그 농도가 높을 수록 감소하였다. 또한 Dextrin 전처리 농도가 낮을 수록 제품의 명도와 황색도는 증가하였으나 적색도는 감소하였으며, 생당근과 비슷한 색상을 띠는 시료는 20%로 전처리한 시료였다. 그리고 감압유탕 건조당근제품은 전처리한 dextrin 용액의 농도가 높을 수록 crispness intensity도 높았다.
