Abstract

Sea lettuce(Monostrima nitidum) were treated with several alkali agents on condition with water blanching at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min., and followed by drying and powdering, thus, the power samples treated and the not treated were then allowed to be stored at $25^{\circ}C$, dark place for 5 months. The sea lettuce powder samples were evaluated for green color intensity and volatile flavor at a month intervals. The green intensity of the samples were measured by using Hunter-lab colorimeter, therefore, the decoloration of greenness were seen in both of the samples treated and the not treated, but there were slight inhibitory effects on decoloration in the treated with alkali agents, especially in the treated with KHCO$_3$.The volatile flavor of the samples were collected by simultaneous distillation-extraction, and then the 31 flavor compounds were separated on HP-5 capillary column(25m$\times$0.25mm i.d) and identified by using GC-MS. From these results, it was presumed that the characteristic impact flavor compounds were $\beta$-cyclocitral, $\beta$-cyclohomocitral, ionene, $\alpha$-ionone and $\beta$-ionone. The total content of the characteristic impact flavor compounds decreased in the samples treated with alkali agents more alkali agents more than in the not treated, but lee decrease was observed in the treated with KHCO$_3$.

파래(Monostrima nitidum) 의 퇴색지연 방안을 모색하고자. 알칼리화제로써 이용 가능한 몇 종의 식품첨가물을 선정하고 이를 생 파래와 함께 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 blanching 하여 건조 및 분쇄한 후 $25^{\circ}C$의 암소에서 5개월 간 저장하면서 각 시료의 녹색도를 Hunter-lab colorimeter로 측정하고 휘발성 향을 CG-MS로 조사하였다. 저장 중 알칼리를 처리한 파래의 녹색도는 미처리한 시료에 비하여 조금 덜 퇴색되었으며, 특히 KHCO$_3$로 처리한 경우 다소 효과가 있었다. SDE장치(simultaneous distillation-extract apparatus)로 포집한 파래의 휘발성 향에서 31종의 화합물들이 확인되었다. 이들 중 파래의 특징적 향으로 기여하는 주요 화합물 $\beta$-cyclocitral, $\beta$-cyclohomocitral, ionene, $\alpha$-ionone and $\beta$-ionone으로 추정되었으며, 이 화합물들의 함량은 알칼리 처리에 의하여 감소되었지만, KHCO$_3$를 처리할 경우 다소 덜 감소되었다.
