본 연구는 생선회 맛의 관능적 품질향상 및 생선회로서의 품질수명을 연장시키기 위하여 우리나라에서 고급횟감으로 널리 소비되고 있는 넙치를 시료로 하여 동결속도 및 해동방법에 따른 근육의 물리화학적 및 조직학적 변화를 살펴보았다. 1. 넙치를 chunk 형태로 급속동격 (액체질소동결) 및 완만동결 ($-15^{\circ}C$ 동결하였을때 최대 빙결정생성대의 통과시간은 각각 10분이내와 110분이었다. 해동방법에 다른 해동소요시간은 $25^{\circ}C$ 수도수. $15^{\circ}C$ 수도수 $10^{\circ}C$ 수도수. $25^{\circ}C$ 공기. $5^{\circ}C$ 수도수. $0^{\circ}C$ 수도수 순으로 짧았다. 2. 근육의 파괴강도는 급속동결하여 급속해동한 것이 완만동결하여 완만해동한 것에 비하여 높았으며. 조리형태에 따른 파괴강도는 급속동결한 것은 조리형태에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 완만동결한 것은 slice형태로 처리한 것이 높은 값을 나타내었다. 4. ATP의 잔존량은 동결속도에 큰 영향을 받지 않았으며, 급속해동한 것이 완만해동한 것에 비하여 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 IMP가 동결-해동후의 ATP관련화합물의 대부분을 차지하고 있었다. 5. 근육의 표본조직을 광학현미경 (LM)으로 관찰한 결과 즉살직후에는 근섬유간의 간격이 관찰되지 않았으며. 급속동결하여 해동방법을 달리한 근육에 있어서도 근섬유간의 간격이 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 완만동결하여 해동한 것은 근섬유간의 간격이 현저하게 관찰되었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted for enhancing the performance of a conventional quick freezer by introducing the supercooling state, using a low-temperature coolant. Methods: In the present investigation, the supercooling process was executed prior to quick freezing for reducing the time by which the temperature passes the zone of maximum ice crystal formation. Every food has different nucleation points and hence, we used silicone oil as the coolant for supercooling for easy modification of temperature. Additionally, for quick freezing, we used liquid nitrogen spray. Results: Using the heat exchanger-type precooler with silicone oil, the temperature of the chamber was easily changed for enabling supercooling. Particularly, the results of the freezing test with garlic indicated that this system improved the hardness of garlic after it was thawed, compared to the conventional freezing method. Conclusions: Before quick freezing, if the food item is subjected to the supercooling state, the time from nucleation to the temperature reaching the frozen state ($-5^{\circ}C$, which is the maximum ice crystal formation zone) will be shorter than that incurred using quick freezing alone. The combination of the heat exchanger-type supercooler and liquid nitrogen sprayer is expected to serve as a promising technology for improving the physicochemical qualities of frozen foods.

This study investigated the effect of various freezing and thawing techniques on the quality of beef. Meat samples were frozen using natural convection freezing (NF), individual quick freezing (IQF), or cryogenic freezing (CF) techniques, followed by natural convection thawing (NCT) or running water thawing (RT). The meat was frozen until the core temperature reached $-12^{\circ}C$ and then stored at $-24^{\circ}C$, followed by thawing until the temperature reached $5^{\circ}C$. Quality parameters, such as the pH, water binding properties, CIE color, shear force, and microstructure of the beef were elucidated. Although the freezing and thawing combinations did not cause remarkable changes in the quality parameters, rapid freezing, in the order of CF, IQF, and NF, was found to minimize the quality deterioration. In the case of thawing methods, NCT was better than RT and the meat quality was influence on the thawing temperature rather than the thawing rate. Although the microstructure of the frozen beef exhibited an excessive loss of integrity after the freezing and thawing, it did not cause any remarkable change in the beef quality. Taken together, these results demonstrate that CF and NCT form the best combination for beef processing; however, IQF and NCT may have practical applications in the frozen food industry.

동결건조 쌀죽의 품질특성에 미치는 동결속도의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 쌀죽을 -20, -40, -70$^{\circ}C$의 동결 온도에서 동결시킨 후 동결건조시킨 제품을 제조하여 이들 제품의 미세구조, 물리적 강도, 조직감 및 재수화율을 조사하였다. 전자주사현미경을 통한 이들 제품의 미세구조를 관찰한 결과 완만동결(-20$^{\circ}C$)시킨 것이 급속동결(-70$^{\circ}C$)에 비해 공극의 크기가 크고 그 수가 적었다. 반면에 급속동결시킨 제품은 보다 조직이 치밀하고 물리적인 강도가 유의적(p<0.05)으로 큰 값을 나타냈다. 수화복원율은 -20$^{\circ}C$에서 동결시킨 제품이 -40, -70$^{\circ}C$에서 동결시킨 제품보다 높았다. 따라서 품질이 우수하고 사용이 간편한 동결건조 쌀죽을 제조하기 위해서는 최적의 동결 온도의 선택이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: Quick freezing is widely used in commercial food storage. Well-known freezing techniques such as individual quick freezing require a low-temperature coolant and small cuts for the heat-transfer efficiency. However, the freezing method for bulk food resembles techniques used in the 1970s. In this study, electromagnetic (EM) heating was applied to improve the quick freezing of bulk food. Methods: During freezing, the surface of food can be rapidly cooled by an outside coolant, but the inner parts of the food cool slowly owing to the latent heat from the phase change. EM waves can directly heat the inner parts of food to prevent it from freezing until the outer parts finish their phase change and are cooled rapidly. The center temperature of garlic cloves was probed with optical thermo sensors while liquid nitrogen (LN) was sprayed. Results: When EM heating was applied, the center cooling time of the garlic cloves from freezing until $-10^{\circ}C$ was 48 s, which was approximately half the value of 85 s obtained without EM heating. For the white radish cubes, the center cooling time was also improved, from 288 to 132 s. The samples frozen by LN spray with EM heating had a closer hardness to the unfrozen samples than the samples frozen by LN only. Conclusions: The EM heating during quick freezing functions to maintain the hardness of fresh food by reducing the freezing time from 0 to $-10^{\circ}C$.

To develop a value-added individually quick frozen (IQF) intermediate product from cultured sea mussel Mytilus edulis, we prepared IQF half-shelled roasted sea mussels (HRM) and IQF half-shelled boiled sea mussels (HBM). The processing conditions and quality metrics of the mussels were examined. The HRM and HBM were produced by washing and removing the byssus of raw sea mussels, followed by electric roasting or boiling. The roasted or boiled sea mussels were half-shelled, lightly washed with 3% saline water, rapidly frozen for 2 hours at -35℃, glazed, and packaged with a plastic film bag. The HRM and HBM had volatile basic nitrogen contents of 11.5 and 12.6 mg/100 g, and amino nitrogen contents of 607.9 and 534.2 mg/100 g, respectively. The HRM and HBM had hardness values of 4.31 and 2.99 kg/㎠, shearing force values of 992.2 and 507.7 g, free drip values of 8.9% and 10.2%, and expressible drip values of 7.0% and 8.1%, respectively. The free amino acid contents of the HRM and HBM were 763.1 and 560.7 mg/100 g, respectively. These results demonstrate that HRM have superior qualities compared to HBM and can serve as high-end shellfish when cooked.

Quality control of meat products is one of the main concerns of consumers, governmental control authorities, and retailers. The purpose of this study was to employ ribose-induced Maillard reaction in detection of meat adulteration and differentiation of fresh-chilled from frozen-thawed minced veal. The browning intensity was assessed through measuring the absorbance at 420 nm with a spectrophotometer as well as the direct analysis of the color and pH. The results showed that CIE b*, CIE a*, and A_420* values in the extract of fresh-chilled veal were significantly (p<0.05) higher than frozen-thawed samples. The extract of frozen meat samples stored at -18℃ became significantly darker and more yellowish compared to -4℃. The results showed that the A_420* value in the frozen-thawed veal stored at -4℃ and -18℃ was reduced by approximately 17.22±3.53% and 11.68±2.49%, respectively, compared with fresh-chilled veal. The findings also showed that the storage temperature of minced veal and the heating time in this reaction had a significant effect on all tested variables (p<0.0001). The proposed method can be considered as an easy, quick, and inexpensive test for differentiating between the fresh-chilled and frozen-thawed minced veal.

동치미를 동결하면 미생물의 사멸, 및 성장과 효소의 작용이 정지되어 더 이상 발효가 진행되지 않아 산패 및 조직의 연화를 방지할 수 있으므로 동결 저장은 동치미의 효과적인 저장 방법이다. 그러나 일반적인 동결 방법과 해동 방법으로는 동결 및 해동 공정시 품질의 변화가 발생하는 문제점이 있기 때문에 액체질소를 이용한 급속 동결 및 915MHz microwave을 이용한 급속 해동 공정을 실시하였다. 동치미를 제조한 후 발효 적숙기인 pH 3.8에서 동결하였는데 동치미 무와 액을 함께 동결할 경우 동치미 무의 hardness가 크게 감소하기 때문에 무와 액을 각각 분리하여 동결시켰다. 동치미 무의 size는 $2{\times}2{\times}6cm$이 품질의 변화를 최소화할 수 있는 크기이었고, 동치미 액은 $5{\times}5{\times}10cm$로 설정하였다. 동치미 무의 경우 액체질소로 동결하고 915 MHz microwave로 해동하였을 때 조직의 hardness에 기여하는 pectinesterase activity가 가장 높았고, 조직의 연화에 작용하는 polygalacturonase activity가 가장 낮아서 hardness가 가장 좋았으며 색도의 변화도 가장 적었다. 동치미 액의 경우 $-70^{\circ}C$에서 동결하고 915 MHz microwave로 해동하였을 때 pH와 산도의 변화가 적었으며 미생물이 가장 많이 사멸되었다. 따라서 급속 동결 및 급속 해동을 이용한 저장방법은 동치미의 장기 저장 시 효과적인 방법으로 판단되었다.
