A Study on the Characteristics of Salad Dressings Containing Chicken Foot Gelatin

닭발 추출 젤라틴을 이용한 샐러드 드레싱의 품질 특성

This study was conducted to present fundamental data on the physicochemical properties and sensory qualities of salad dressings made with chicken foot gelatin. Preliminary experiments were performed to confirm the gelatin powder concentrations in preparing gelatin solutions. A 2% gelatin solution, including 0.5% agar, was prepared for use in the experiments that followed. Sensory evaluations were conducted to compare the organoleptic acceptance of dressings manufactured with differing concentrations of the additive in seasoning soybean sauce, mayonnaise, and sesame powder. The viscosities of the dressings significantly increased with increasing gelatin powder concentration. A decrease in turbidity was observed in the mayonnaise and sesame dressings. The color difference values of all dressings indicated no changes. In sensory evaluations of dressings prepared with gelatin solutions at different concentrations of 2 g (1%), 4 g (2%), and 8 g (4%) of gelatin powder, the 4 g (2%) sample received the highest score for overall acceptance. From this study, which was conducted to find an efficient use for chicken house wast product, it is anticipated that chicken feet will be utilized as a new raw material for producing collagen and gelatin, protein sources widely increasing in use with in the food and bio-industries.
