Abstract

In this study the expression of the sweetness by using threshold value and effects of salt addition on the sweetness was carried out in model system. Threshold value was 0.4% in sucrose solution and was 0.75-0.80% in the mixture of sweeteners such as low glutinous starch syrup and reduced starch syrup with sucrose solution. The equation between mixture of sweeteners and relative sweetness ($0-20^{\circ}Brix$) on sucrose was induced. The sweetness of red bean paste prepared with low glutinous starch syrup and reduced starch syrup were estimated as 32.78-34.32 by using threshold value, and those lower than 55 of red bean paste prepared with sucrose alone. The synergistic effect of sweetness was observed when 0.05% salt in sugar solution (2.0%) and 0.2% salt in red bean paste were added, respectively. It showed that the addition of salt could be increase the degree of sweetness and decrease the quantity of sweeteners.

Model system을 이용하여 설탕 수용액의 감미 역치를 구한 결과 0.4%였고, 저당물엿 및 환원물엿 등 감미원 혼합액의 감미 역치는 0.75-0.80%로 측정되었다. 각각의 감미 역치를 설탕에 대한 상대적 감미도로 환산 보정한 결과 0.64-0.67%였고, 이 역치를 설탕에 대한 감미로 환산하여 감미도를 산출하였다. 감미원 혼합액의 설탕에 대한 상대적 감미도 0-20 사이의 관계식은 $y=0.0038x^2-1.3171x+13.497,\;R^2=0.9736$(단, x=감미원의 상대적 감미도, y=역치, R=상관계수)로 계산되었다. 감미원별 역치를 이용하여 감미도를 계산한 결과 저당물엿과 환원물엿을 넣은 통팥앙금의 감미도는 설탕으로 제조된 것의 $55^{\circ}Brix$보다 낮은 32.78-34.32의 값을 나타내었다. 설탕과 식염의 감미에 대한 상승효과를 조사한 결과 0.4%와 1%설탕 수용액에 대해서는 감미의 상승효과가 나타나지 않았고, 2% 이상의 설탕 수용액에서는 식염을 0.05% 첨가했을 때 감미의 상승효과가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 통팥앙금에 식염을 0.2% 첨가했을 때 유의성은 없었으나 다른 시료에 비해 감미가 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.
