Abstract

In order to utilize sea mustard, Undaria pinnatifida, effectively. sea mustard jam was prepared by use of physical properties of polysaccharides, mainly alginic acid and then its chemical composition, nutritive qualifies and the stability of pigments were examined. Suitable processing condition for sea mustard jam was as fellows : as the first stage, fresh sea mustard was scalded for 20 sec at $85^{\circ}C$ and dried sea mustard was dipped for 20 min in cold water for rehydration, then both sea mustards were treated by draining and chopping. Next, after adding 4 fold of $0.5\%\;K_2HPO_4$ solution to weight of chopped sea mustards, the mixed solutions were agitated for 15 min at $95^{\circ}C$, and gelated sea mustards were filterated by pressing. Flow characteristics of those sea mustard jam were regarded mixed type having pseudoplastic type and yield stress. Judging from sensory evaluation, adding $0.375\%$ of saccharin, $2\%$ of sorbitol, $0.25\%$ of citric acid and $0.5\%$ of powder of roasted soybean to sea mustard jam were suitable for enhancing taste and flavor of product. Chemical composition of products were scarcely changed throughtout processing. Jam processed by fresh sea mustard was better than dried one in contents of chlorophyll and total carotenoid pigments. In fatty acid composition, polyenoic acids of $C_{18:3},\;C_{20:4},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{22:6}$ were held high contents as known to have lowering function of cholesterol contents. It was presumed that dominant contents in free amino acids such as lysine, alanine, glutamic acid and organic acids such as citric acid, oxalic acid, $\alpha-ketoglutaric$ acid, lactic acid and succinic acid held important role for the flavor of sea mustard jam.

미역의 가공적성을 높일려는 목적으로 미역 다당류의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 알긴산의 물성을 이용한 미역쨈을 제조한 결과, 미역중량에 대해 $0.5\%\;K_2HPO_4$ 용액 4배량을 첨가할 경우 시중 딸기쨈과 유사한 점도를 가졌으며 유동특성은 항복력을 가지면서 의가소성형인 혼합형으로 간주되었다. 그리고 생미역으로 만든 쨈이 마른미역의 경우보다 점도가 좋았으며 미역 고유의 색조를 유지하는데도 양호하였다. 또 관능검사결과 부원료로서 사카린 $0.375\%$, 솔비톨 $2.0\%$, 구연산 $0.25\%$, 구운콩가루 $0.5\%$를 첨가하는 것이 양호하였다. 지방산조성에서는 고도불포화지방산인 $C_{18:3},\;C_{20:4},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{22:6}$의 함량이 상당히 높았으며 정미성분에 관여하는 유리아미노산 중 lysine, alanine, glutamic acid의 함량과 유기산중에서 구연산, 옥살산, $\alpha-ketoglutaric\;acid$, 젖산, 숙신산의 함량이 많았다.
