Texture Characteristics of Soybean-Curds Prepared with Different Coagulants and Compositions of Soybean-Curd Whey

응고제를 달리하여 제조한 두부의 텍스쳐 특성과 두부순물의 성분

To determine the optimum coagulants concentrations for preparing soybean-curds, the transmittance of soybean-curd whey using spectrophotometer has been measured. The textural properties of soybean-curds were examined by texture analyzer and sensory evaluations. The general components, oligosaccharides and amino acids in soybean-curd wheys were analyzed. Protein patterns of soybean-curd wheys comparing with soyflour and soymilk were investigated. By texture analyzer, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and gumminess of Cacl$_2$ soybean-curd, MgCl$_2$ soybean-curd were higher than those of CaSO$_4$ soybean-curd and GDL soybean-curd. In the sensory evaluations, CaSO$_4$ soybean-curds and GDL soybean-curds were smoother and moister than others. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the first two abundant amino acids in three kinds of soybean-curd wheys, but arginine was the most abundant amino acid in GDL soybean-curd whey. Total sugar content of soybean-curd wheys were about 12-13 g/l, and the main sugars among 5 kinds of sugars were sucrose and raffinose. Electrophoresis using SDS-PAGE showed that glycinin and P-conglycinin, the main proteins of soybean appeared in soy flour and soymilk, and only low molecular weight subunits appeared in soybean-curd wheys.

본 연구에서는 응고제의 종류를 달리하여 제조한 두부의 텍스쳐 특성을 알아보기 위해 기계적 측진과 관능검사를 실시하였고, 두부 제조시 부산물로 생기는 두부순물의 일반성분, 올리고당, 아미노산을 분석하여 비교하였으며, 콩분말, 두유, 두부순물의 단백질 pattern을 전기 영동을 실시하여 알아보았다. 1. 두부의 기계적 견고성, 응집성, 탄력성, 검성은 수분함량이 적었던 염화칼슘두부와 염화마그네슘두부가 황산칼슘두부, 글루코노델타락톤두부보다 컸다. 2. 두부의 관능검사 결과 텍스쳐는 황산칼슘두부, 글루코노델타락톤두부가 수분함량이 많아 부드럽고 매끈하다고 평가되었으나 글루코노델타락톤두부는 신맛을 강하게 나타내었다. 3. 동결건조한 글루코노델타락톤두부에서 나온 두부순물에는 상데적으로 arginine이 가장 많았으나, 나머지 3종류의 주부순물의 아미노산 중에는 glutamic acid가 가장 많았다. 4. 두부 순물에 함유된 주요 당은 fructose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose였으며 당의 총 함량은 12-13 g/l 내외로 순물간에 차이가 별로 없었다. 5. 전기영동결과 콩분말과 두유에서는 콩단백진의 주요 획분인 glycinin과 $\beta$-conglycinin이 나타났으나 두부 순물에서는 저분자량의 band 만이 나타났다.
