Abstract

This study was performed to reduce unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume as well as to improve utilization as functional food materials using fermentation. The component, antioxidant activity, and taste test were compared between fresh and fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (FGP). FGP contained higher level of total fat, protein, mineral, and fiber than raw material. The pH of FGP was higher compared to raw $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (RGP), and antioxidant activity was as high as vitamin C regardless material status (raw vs. fermented). This result indicated that its activity was not decreased by fermentation. Dispersiveness and solubility of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder was the best in 60-70 mesh. For sensory evaluation, FGP or RGP was mixed with either orange juice or yoghurt. The results showed that overall preference, taste, flavor, texture, and color were better in fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume drinks than in raw ones. It is plausible that unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume was declined by fermentation. Thus, fermentation can be easily applied to eliminate unpleasant smell in $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume, and FGP can be mixed with other beverages to produce healthy food and drinks.

본 연구는 불쾌한 맛과 향으로 인해 식품재료로서의 한계가 있는 천마를 식품재료로써의 이용성을 증대시키기 위해 천마를 발효한 후 일반성분, pH, 항산화 활성, 색도 및 분산성과 용해성 등을 일반 천마분말과 측정 비교 하였다. 또한 일반 및 발효천마분말에 오렌지주스 및 요구르트를 첨가하여 혼합음료를 제조하고 이에 대한 기호도를 조사하였다. 발효천마의 일반 성분분석 결과 탄수화물의 함량은 발효에 의해 감소하였으나, 조지방, 조회분, 조단백, 조섬유에서 일반천마보다 더 많이 함유하고 있었다. pH는 발효천마분말이 일반천마분말보다 알칼리성을 나타내었으며, 발효천마분말은 비타민C 또는 일반천마분말과 유사한 항산화력을 나타내었다. 또한 입자가 클수록 분산성이 높게 나타났으며, 용해성은 60-70mesh의 분말에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 전체적으로 60-70mesh 입자크기에서 용해성과 분산성이 가장 우수했다. 명도는 일반천마분말이 더 밝은 빛을 띠어 색 선호도에서 높은 평가를 얻었다. 천마의 관능검사 결과 발효천마분말과 혼합음료가 맛, 향, 조직감, 기호도에서 일반 천마분말보다 양호한 결과를 나타냈다. 그 중 발효천마분말과 요구르트 혼합음료의 맛이 가장 높은 선호도를 보였다. 따라서 천마가 발효 되면서 천마특유의 불쾌한 맛이나 냄새가 적어져 전체적인 기호도에서 좋은 결과를 나타냈으며, 성분, 항산화 효과도 천마분말보다 발효천마분말이 우의를 나타내 일반천마분말에 비해 발효천마분말이 식품재료로서의 이용성이 높을 것으로 판단되었다.
