Abstract

In order to develop a new persimmon pickle with a low salt concentration, changes in physicochemical characteristics during soaking of persimmon pickles treated with different organic acids and sugars were investigated at $15^{\circ}C$ for 70 days. The pH of persimmon pickles decreased from pH 6.64 at initial stage to pH 3.99 (control group), pH 2.76-3.33 (citric acid treatment, CT), and pH 3.08-3.34 (acetic acid treatment, AT) after 70-days of soaking. Titratable acidity of AT was higher (0.86-1.18%) than that of CT (0.61-0.78%). After 70-days of soaking, salinity of persimmon pickles treated with stevia leaf powder, sodium saccharin, sucrose, and isomalto-oligosaccharide were 4.94-4.96, 4.00-5.15, 2.99-3.31, and 3.03-3.30%, respectively, and 1.54-3.70% lower than that of the control group (6.69%). The hardness of persimmon pickles in all cases was increased up to 20-40-days of soaking and then decreased. L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) value of persimmon pickles treated with citric acid were higher than those of AT and the control group. Sensory evaluation of persimmon pickles after 70-days of soaking revealed that CT had the highest scores for color, texture, and overall acceptability. These results indicate that the salt concentration of persimmon pickles could be lowered by the addition of citric acid and various sugars during soaking.

단감 장아찌 제조 시 침지액의 식염 농도를 낮추는 대신 유기산과 당을 첨가하여 침지 기간 중 단감 장아찌와 침지액의 이화학적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 단감 장아찌의 pH는 초기 6.64에서 침지 70일째 대조구 pH 3.99, 구연산 처리구 pH 2.76-3.33, 초산 처리구 pH 3.08-3.34를 나타냈다. 총산 함량은 침지 기간 중 계속 증가하여 침지 70일째 구연산 처리구 0.61-0.78%, 초산 처리구 0.86-1.18%로서 초산 처리구의 산 함량이 높았다. 당도$(^{\circ}Brix)$의 경우도 침지 70일째 초산 처리구가 $20.2-23.8^{\circ}Brix$로서 구연산 처리구 $18.4-19.2^{\circ}Brix$ 보다 높았다. 염도의 경우 침지 70일째 대조구는 6.69%이었으며, 스테비아 잎 분말 처리구 4.94-4.96%, 삭카린나트륨 처리구 4.00-5.15%, 설탕 처리구 2.99-3.31%, 이소말토올리고당 처리구 3.03-3.30%를 나타내 유기산과 당의 첨가 시 장아찌의 염도가 대조구보다 1.54-3.70% 정도 낮게 나타났다. 초산 처리구의 수분함량은 대조구와 비슷하였으며, 구연산 처리구보다 낮았다. 단감 장아찌의 경도는 침지 20-40일까지 증가하다가 그 이후 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 색도는 구연산 처리구의 명도(L), 적색도(a) 및 황색도(b)가 다른 처리구보다 높게 나타나 단감 장아찌의 색상 유지에 좋은 효과를 나타냈다. 침지 70일째 감장아찌를 관능검사한 결과 색상, 조직감 및 전체적인 기호도에서 구연산 처리구에 대한 선호도가 가장 높았다.
