Abstract

This study was performed to provide basic that will predict the usefulness of Gastrodiae Rhizoma as food materials. The physicochemical properties of raw, freeze-dried, and hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were investigated and analyzed. The moisture content of raw Gaxtrodiae Rhizoma was 81.20%. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash and carbohydrates of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were 7.61%, 6.21%, 1.50%, 2.55%, and 89.74%, respectively. The total dietary fiber (TDF) of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma was 11.68%. The K (1265.03 mg%) was the highest mineral found in Gastrodiae Rhizoma. Aspartic acid (1272.10 mg%) and glutamic acid (1249.50 mg%) in Gastrodiae Rhizoma were major amino acids. Linoleic acid (53.79%), palmitic acid (20.17%), oleic acid (11.93%), and linolenic acid (4.78%) were principal fatty acids in crude fat of Gaxtrodiae Rhizoma. Most of the free sugars of freeze-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma was maltose (11.04%). In color, the freeze-dried showed the highest lightness (94.52) and the $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried showed the highest redness(0.76) and yellowness (16.41). The color differences among freeze-dried, $40^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried, and $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were distinguished markedly. Vitamin C contents in raw, freeze-dried, and $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were 0.015%, 0.010%, and 0.002%, respectively. The organoleptic characteristics of raw, freeze-dried, and hot air-dried Gastrodiae Rhizoma were evaluated and compared on the basis, 5 points of raw Gastrodiae Rhizoma by 9 points scale. The undesirable characteristics, such as fishy odor, sewage odor, bitter taste, bad and salty taste, decreased, while desirable characteristic such as sweet taste was maintained or increased considerably as drying temperature got higher.

본 연구는 천마의 식품성분들을 분석하고 건조방법에 따른 특성들을 비교하여 식품가공시 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 생천마의 수분함량은 81.20%이었다. 동결건조한 천마의 수분함량은 7.61%, 조단백질 6.21%, 조지방 1.50%, 조회분 2.55%, 탄수화물 89.74%이었다. 천마의 총 식이섬유는 11.68%이었다. 동결건조와 $40^{\circ}C$$60^{\circ}C$에서 열풍건조한 천마 분말의 색도에서 L값은 동결건조한 천마가 94.52로 가장 높았으며 a값과 b값은 $60^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조한 천마가 각각 0.76, 16.41로 가장 높았고 3가지 천마시료의 색도 차이가 뚜렷했다. 천마에서 가장 많은 무기질은 K(1265.03 mg%)이었고, 아스파르트산(1272.10 mg%)과 글루탐산(1249.50 mg%)이 가장 많이 함유된 아미노산이었다. 4가지 유리당의 총 함량은 19.02%이었고 그중 maltose가 11.04%로 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 조지방중의 지방산은 linoleic acid(53.79%)가 가장 많이 함유되어 있었고 비타민 A는 생천마, 동결건조한 천마, 열풍건조한 천마 모두에서 검출되지 않은 반면, 비타민 C는 생천마 0.015%, 동결건조한 천마 0.010%, $60^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조한 천마는 0.002%로 나타났고 $40^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조한 천마에서는 검출되지 않았다. 생천마, 동결건조한 천마, $40^{\circ}C$$60^{\circ}C$에서 열풍건조한 천마의 관능적 특성을 평가한 결과 동결건조한 천마는 생천마에 비해 비린내, 쿰쿰한 냄새, 쓴맛, 찝찔한 맛 등의 부정적인 요소들이 줄어든 반면 단맛의 강도는 약간 더 증가했으며 $40^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조한 것은 텁텁한 맛이 뒷맛으로 느껴졌고, $60^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조한 천마는 가열에 의한 고소한 냄새가 강하게 감지되고 쓴맛과 떫은맛 등의 부정적인 요소들이 거의 느껴지지 않으면서 바삭바삭한 조직감과 함께 단맛과 고소한 맛이 강하게 느껴졌다.
