Quality Characteristics of Salku-Pyun with Various Starches

전분 종류를 달리한 살구편의 품질 특성

This study was conducted in order to investigate the quality characteristics of Salku Pyun which was made by using mungbean, potato, sweet potato and corn starches. The pH of salku juice was 3.45 to 3.50 and the brix of that was 7.0%. The water content and water activity of salku pyun with potato starch was highest. The result of sensory evaluation showed that appearance, flavor, overall quality were highest in the Salku Pyun made with potato starch while texture, taste were highest in the Salku Pyun made with mungbean starch. Mechanical properties of salku pyun with mungbean starch was significantly higher in adhesiveness, hardness, chewiness. Texture of sensory evaluation were positively correlated with springiness, hardness, and chewiness of mechanical measurement. The factors which affect the overall quality on sensory evaluation were texture quality, taste quality, hardness, color and springiness.
