Abstract
Helianthus tuberosus is a perennial plant in the genus, Asteraceae. Pork potato has various pharmacological functions such as improving constipation, preventing bowel disease, inhibiting colon cancer, reducing serum cholesterol, lowering blood lipids, and enhancing blood sugar. This study investigated the physicochemical properties of fermented milk by adding Helianthus tuberosus powder. During the fermentation process, the pH of the fermented milk with added Helianthus tuberosus was higher after 16 hours of fermentation. At 48 hours of fermentation, the pH decreased to 3.70, 3.65, 3.63, and 3.59 with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. In the last 48 hours of fermentation, the acidity increased to 2.35%, 2.57%, and 3.17% with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased as the quantity of Helianthus tuberosus added increased. The highest number of lactic acid bacteria was 9.96 log CFU/g after 16 hours of fermentation with a 5% addition of Helianthus tuberosus . After 48 hours of fermentation, the amount of lactic acid bacteria decreased to 7.84 log CFU/g and 7.88 log CFU/g in the control group and the 1% added Helianthus tuberosus group, respectively. The addition of 3% and 5% Helianthus tuberosus increased the lactic acid bacteria count to 9.48 log CFU/ g and 9.81 log CFU/g, respectively. As the fermentation time increased, oxalic acid and tartaric acid decreased but lactic acid increased. Lactose degraded galactose and glucose over time. After 48 hours of fermentation, the viscosity in the control, 1%, 3%, 5% added Helianthus tuberosus groups increased to 1,006 cP, 1,026 cP, 1,040 cP, and 1,106 cP, respectively. The antioxidant effect was higher in the 5% added Helianthus tuberosus group (84.14%) than in the control group (80.39%) at 48 hours of fermentation. The concentration of polyphenol was 1.6 mg/g and antimicrobial activity was strong against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
본 연구는 돼지감자 분말을 첨가한 발효유 제조의 이화학적 분석을 통해서 돼지감자를 식품소재로써 활용하고자 첨가량에 따른 발효 품질특성을 분석하였다. 돼지감자 분말 1%, 3%, 5% 첨가 발효유 중 5% 첨가구가 산 생성이 가장 우수하였고, 유산균 수도 가장 높게 생장하였다. 또한, 유산 생성이 활발하였고, 항산화 활성과 항균활성도 높았다. 점도는 5% 첨가구에서 가장 높았는데, 물성적인 측면에서 고려할 사항으로 사료된다. 돼지감자분말 첨가 발효유 생산이 유가공산업의 활성화에 기여하길 기대한다.
