Abstract

To determine the shelf-life of low salted Myungran-jeot (low salted and fermented Alaska pollack roe), various chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses were carried out with Myungran-jeot stored at 10 days. The lactic acid content was slowly increased in the early stage of storage but then was rapidly increased with lengthening storage period, while pH was decreased during storage. The $NH_2-N$ content was steady at 10 days and peaked at 17 days. The production of VBN was increased to over $30mg\%$ at 19 days. In microbiological tests, the viable cell count and halotolerant bacteria were $1.5\times10^3\;and\;5.5\times10^3CFU/g$, respectively, at the initial state, but they slowly increased to $10^7 CFU/g$ at 17 days. Yeast or fungi did not appear on the surface of Myungran-jeot. Sensory evaluation showed that the original torture of Myungran-jeot in the mouth was a very important indicator for acceptability. Sensory characters and acceptability of Myungran-jeot at 17 days were not significantly different from those of the initial state. From these results, the estimated shelf-life of Myungran-jeot whom sealed with aluminum coated paper, was about 18 days in this study.

본 연구에서는 제조과정에서 조미액즙이 첨가된 저염명란젓갈을 $10^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 화학적, 미생물학적 및 관능적 특성 변화를 종합적으로 평가하여 명란젓갈의 유통기한 예측을 위한 품질지표를 설정하고자 하였다. 명란젓갈의 숙성 중 젖산 생성량의 변화는 저장 7일까지는 서서히 증가하다가 7일 이후에 급격히 증가한 후 거의 일정하게 유지되었으며, 19일에 다시 증가하였다. pH의 변화는 젖산 생성량과 반대 경향을 보였다. 아미노태 질소는 숙성 10일까지 일정수준을 유지하다가 그 후에 증가하여 숙성 17일에 최고 값을 나타낸 후 다시 감소하였다. 휘발성 염기질소량은 숙성 5일 이후부터 급격하게 증가하여 저장 19일에는 $30mg\%$ 이상으로 나타났다. 미생물시험에서 분변대장균은 전 실험기간동안 검출되지 않았고, 일반 세균수와 내염성균수는 초기에는 각각 $1.5\times10^3$$5.5\tiems10^3 CFU/g$였고, 저장 17일까지 일반 세균수와 내염성균수가 $10^7CFU/g$을 유지하였다. 본 실험에 제공된 시료는 조미액 첨가와 알루미늄 밀봉 포장방식으로 인하여 외관상 알의 표면에 효모군락이나 곰팡이가 발생되지 않아 외관 특성이 명란젓갈의 품질 지표가 되지 못한 반면, 입안에서 명란알의 입자감이 중요한 품질 지표가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 저장 17일까지는 명란젓갈의 관능특성과 기호도가 초기제품과 비교시 유의적 차이가 없었다. 이러한 실험결과를 토대로 명란젓갈이 발효식품임을 감안해 볼 때 제품의 상업적 품질이 유지되는 유통기간은 제품의 관능평가에서 입자감과 종합적 기호도가 초기 제품과 유의적 차이(p<0.05)가 없는 상태로, 휘발성염기질소량은 $30mg\%$이하, 내염성미생물수는 $1.0\times10^8CFU/g$미만으로 각각 설정하였다.
