Abstract
The preservative effect of chitosan film packing on quality of lightly-salted and dried horse mackerel was studied. In preparation of chitosan film, blue crab shell chitosan was dissolved in dilute acetic acid$(1.0\%,\;v/v)$, filtered, and spreaded on plastic plate and dried at $50\pm2^{\circ}C$. The chitosan film thus obtained was neutralized with 1.0N NaOH for 2 hrs and dried at room temperature after washing several times with distilled water. The lightly-salted and dried horse mackerel product was prepared by drying for 4 hrs at $40\pm2^{\circ}C$ in hot air dryer after packing with the chitosan film. During storage at $5.0\pm0.5^{\circ}C$, moisture content of the product was higher than that of the reference, but contents of VBN(volatile basic nitrogen) , amino nitrogen, and TMA of the product on dry basis were lower than those of the reference. Viable cell count, TBA value, and peroxide value of the product were also lower than those of the reference. Judging from the result of sensory evaluation, the chitosan film packing in the storage of lightly-salted and dried horse mackerel was remarkably elongated shelf-life of the product. From the results of chemical and sensory evaluation, it was concluded that chitosan film packing was an effective method for retaining the quality of lightly-salted and dried horse mackerel.
폐기되고 있는 꽂게껍질로 만든 키토산필름의 포장에 의한 반염건전갱이제품의 제조 및 저장중품질유지에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험하였다. 대조제품과 키토산필름포장제품의 수분함량은 각각 $60.6\%,\;65.0\%$로서 키토산필름포장제품의 수분함량이 $4.4\%$ 높았다. 저장중 pH, 휘발성염기질소 및 아미노질소의 증가폭은 키토산필름포장제품이 적었다. 생균수는 저장초기에 약간 감소하다가 그 이후로 계속 증가하여 대조제품은 14일째에 $8.0\times10^5/g$이었으나 키토산필름포장제품은 저장 20일째에도 $7.0\times10^5/g$이었다. TMAO는 저장중 감소하고 TMA는 증가하는 경향이었고 그 증감의 폭은 키토산필름포장제품이 적었다. TBA값과 과산화물값은 저장중 증가하다가 저장 14일 이후로 감소하였고 증가폭은 키토산필름포장제품이 적었다. 관능검사결과 저장 14일째에 대조제품은 키토산필름포장제품에 비해 현저히 품질이 떨어졌고 키토산필름포장제품은 저장 14일째에도 식용가능하였다. 이화학적 및 관능적평가로 미루어 보아 키토산필름포장 제품은 대조제품에 비해 품질유지면에서 우수하다는 결론을 얻었다.
