Abstract

Changes in apple slices during cold storage were investigated by evaluating the physical properties such as degree of browning and compression force. Chemical properties such as PPO activity and total phenol contents were also determined and sensory evaluation was carried out. The correlation analysis between browning parameters was conducted. Degree of browning was increased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP(caramelization product) from sucrose-dipped apple slice. PPO activity was increased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP(caramelization product) from sucrose-dipped apple slice. Amongst several treatments, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice showed the lowest degree of browning and PPO activity. Total phenol contents were decreased from 60 to 56.2 mg and from 59.6 to 56.0 mg in fresh apple slice and water-dipped apple slice, respectively, but CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice and $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice were increased from 51.9 to 52.8 mg and from 54.1 to 54.4 mg, respectively, showing the smallest changes when compared with fresh apple slice and water-dipped apple slice. Compression forces of apple slices during cold storage were decreased in the order of fresh apple slice, water-dipped apple slice, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid solution-dipped apple slice and CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice. In sensory evaluation of apple slices during cold storage, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice had higher score than the other treatments. In addition, a significant correlation was observed among degree of browning, PPO activity and phenol content. Therefore, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice seems to be effective in controlling of enzymatic browning during cold storage. In addition, CP from sucrose-dipped apple slice seems to be effective on other several factors. These results suggest that CP from sucrose should be a potential source for controlling enzymatic browning during storage of vegetables and fruits.

냉장 저장 시 사과슬라이스의 갈변정도 및 조직감과 같은 물리적인 변화와 PPO활성, 총페놀 함량등의 화학적 변화를 측정하였으며 관능검사를 행하여 비교하였으며 또한 이들 변화들 간의 상관관계를 알아본 결과는 다음과 같다. 갈변 정도는 fresh apple slice, 물에 침지한 시료군, CP 시료군, ascorbic acid 시료군 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며 그 크기는 fresh apple slice>물에 침지한 시료군>ascorbic acid 시료군>CP 시료군 순이었으며, PPO활성은 시료군 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며 그 크기는 fresh apple slice>물에 침지한 시료군>ascorbic acid 시료군>CP 시료군 순이었으며 CP 시료군의 증가가 가장 낮았다. 총페놀 함량은 fresh apple slice군은 60 mg/100 g에서 56.2 mg/100 g로 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 물에 침지한 시료군은 59.6 mg/100 g에서 56.0 mg/100 g으로, CP 시료군, ascorbic acid 처리군은 51.9 mg/100 g에서 52.8mg/100 g로, 54.1 mg/100 g에서 54.4 mg/100 g로 나타났다. 조직감은 시료군 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 그 크기는 fresh apple slice>물에 침지한 시료군>ascorbic acid 시료군>CP 시료군 순으로 감소하였다. 또한 관능 검사에서 CP 시료군이 다른 처리군들 보다 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 상관관계 분석에서 갈변 정도와 PPO활성, 총페놀 함량 등이 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구결과로 사과 슬라이스의 냉장 저장중 효소적 갈변 변화에 대한 영향에서 카라멜 생성물에 침지한 CP 시료군이 효소적 갈변에 대한 저해 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 기타 다른 요인에서도 효과적인 것으로 나타나 sucrose의 카라멜 생성물을 채소 및 과일의 저장 과정에 갈변 억제물질로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
