Abstract

Characteristics (salt concentration, weight loss, soluble solid content, moisture content, and textural properties) of radish cube $(2{\times}2{\times}2\;cm)$ were evaluated during salting. Three different summer radish cultivars harvested in high land were immersed into 15% brine solution (radish : brine solution = 1 : 2) at $15^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The time required to reach the optimum salt concentration (3%) was different among cultivars; 3 h for 'Bakbong', 4 h for 'Kwandong' and '92343'. Similar weight loss (about 24-26%) of salted radish cubes was found among cultivars. While the highest value of weight loss of salted radish cubes was observed with '92343', the lowest, 'Bakbong'. Hardness decreased during salting; the highest value of hardness was observer with 'Kwandong', the lowest, 'Bankbong'. The sample of '92343' has the lowest moisture content but has the highest soluble solid content and hardness, while 'Bakbong' has the highest moisture content, but has the lowest soluble solid content and '92343'. In separate experiments, seasonal variations in characteristics of salted radish cubes at optimum salt concentration (3%) were observed: for 'Bakbong', salt concentration, weight loss, soluble solid content, and hardness, and for 'Bakwang', salt concentration, weight loss, and hardness were higher in autumn cultivars than in spring or summer one, while moisture contents of both cultivars were higher in spring or summer cultivars than in autumn one.

여름무 품종별 무의 절임 특성을 알아보기 위해, 절임 염수(소금 농도: 15%) $(2{\times}2{\times}2\;cm)$로 절단한 3 품종('백봉', '관동', '92343')의 여름 무를 2배의 절임 염수에 넣어 $15^{\circ}C$에서 절이면서 절임 중 깍두기 무의 염도, 중량, 수분함량, 가용성 고형물 함량 및 경도(TPA)를 알아보았다. 3 품종의 깍뚜기 무 모두 절임 시간이 경과 될수록 염도, 가용성 고형물 함량은 증가하였으며, 중량 및 수분함량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, texture analyser에 의한 경도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 깍두기 무의 소금 농도가 3%에 달할 때까지의 절임 염수의 소금 농도에 따른 최적 절임 시간은 '백봉'은 3시간, '관동' 및 '92343'은 4시간이 적당하였다. 절이는 동안 중량 감소율은 '백봉'이 약간 컸고, '관동' 및 '92343'은 비슷하였다. '관동'과 '92343'은 '백봉'에 비해 수분함량이 적었고, 가용성 고형물 함량이 많았으며 경도가 높았으며 '백봉'은 수분함량이 많고 가용성 고형물 함량이 적었고 경도가 낮았다. 한편, 절임무의 계절별 특성을 알아보고자 '백봉' 및 '백관' 2 품종에 대해 10% 또는 15%의 절임 염수에서 절이는 동안의 깍두기 무중의 염도가 3%에 달하였을때의 절임무 특성을 계절별로 알아본 결과, '백봉'은 염침투 속도, 중량 감소정도, 가용성 고형물 함량 및 경도가, '백광'은 염침투 속도, 중량 감소정도 및 경도가 가을이 봄 및 여름에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 수분 함량은 두 품종 모두 봄 및 여름이 가을에 비해 높게 나타났다.
