Abstract

Effect of drying methods, such as natural solar drying, hot air drying$(at\;60^{\circ}C\;and\;105^{\circ}C)$, vacuum drying and freeze drying methods, on the quality of laver were investigated to develop optimum processing conditions for preparation of laver powder. Appreciable amount of laver pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoid and phycobilin were lost during washing and drying process. Their loss was affected significantly by the method of drying. Among the methods tested, high temperature air drying was the worst in retaining laver pigment, while freeze drying was the best. Loss of vitamin C which was in the range of 75-99% was also affected by the method of drying. Isotherms for laver powder shelved sigmoidal shape and monomolecular layer moisture content of both laver powder(Porphyra dentata and Porphyra tenera) determined by the BET equation was 6.30%(dry basis). Laver powders prepared with Porphyra dentata and classified with 50-, 80- and 100- mesh sieves showed monomodal size distribution with the high frequency at 110-120, 100-110 and $80\;{\mu}m$, respectively, which indicated that size or laver powder was homogeneous.

김의 분말화를 위한 최적조건을 결정하기 위하여 돌김과 참김을 천일건조, 열풍건조$(60,\;105^{\circ}C)$, 진공건조 및 동결건조방법을 사용하여 건조방법에 따른 김의 ascorbic acid함량과 김의 대표적인 색소인 chlorophyll, carotenoid, phycobilin의 변화를 조사하였다. 김의 chlorophyll, carotenoid, phycobilin은 김을 채취하여 수세, 건조하는 과정뿐만 아니라 건조방법에 의해서도 손실되는 양의 차이가 나타났다. 고온의 열풍건조는 김의 색소 보존 면에서 가장 좋지 많은 방법으로 나타났으며, 사용한 건조방법 중 동결건조가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, vitamin C는 건조방법에 따라 75-99% 까지 손실되었다. 김분말의 등온흡습곡선들은 sigmoid형의 곡선을 나타했으며, BET식에 따라 결정한 단분자층 수분함량은 돌김과 참김분말 모두 6.30%(dry basis)이었다.50 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh 체로 사별한 돌김 분말은 각각 80, $100{\sim}110$$110{\sim}120\;{\mu}m$를 중심으로 단일한 입도분포를 나타내어 김분말의 입자가 균일함을 알 수 있었다.
