Abstract

As storing ginger roots under optimum conditions takes high cost, ginger roots are commonly stored in underground tunnels where the maintenance of optimum temperature and humidity is difficult. One of the methods fur long term storage of ginger roots is freezing. The objective of this research was to evaluate effect of storage temperatures and packaging methods on the quality of minced ginger prepared with frozen stored ginger. The minced ginger prepared with frozen stored ginger at $-20^{\circ}C$ was packed in bags, glass bottles and tubes, and then stored at 5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ for quality evaluation at 4 and 15 week-intervals. The changes of surface color, total free sugars, free amino acids and volatile compounds were less in the combined treatment samples than in control during storage, regardless of the storage temperature. The tube packing was the best for maintaining quality of minced ginger during storage among tested packaging methods. Sensory results showed that the minced ginger with the combined treatment and packed in tubes could be stored at 5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ for 12 and 45 weeks, respectively, without a significant drop in palatability.

본 연구에서는 냉동 저장된 생강으로 다대기를 포장방법별로 제조하여 유통조건에 따른 품질변화를 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 5, $-20^{\circ}C$ 저장온도에서 다대기의 표면색도의 변화는 종합처리구가 대조구보다 안정적이었으며, 총 유리당 함량과 아미노산 함량은 저장기간이 길어질수록 감소하였으나, 튜브포장처리구에서는 다른 포장처리구보다 감소 폭이 완만하였다. 향기성분 함량의 변화는 튜브포장 방법과 첨가물을 종합적으로 첨가한 처리군에서 향기성분 함량의 감소 폭이 완만하게 나타났다. 관능적 평가는 $5^{\circ}C$ 저장군에서 종합처리구가 대조구보다 색깔, 이취에서 저장 12주까지, 선호도에서 저장 8주까지 안정한 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 튜브포장처리구는 저장 12주까지 선호도의 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. $-20^{\circ}C$ 저장군에서는 대조구에서 저장 45주까지 포장방법별로 상관없이 색깔에서 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 이취에 대해서는 저장 15주부터 유의적 차이가 나타나기 시작하였다. 전체적인 선호도는 15주 저장부터 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며 튜브포장처리구와 병포장처리구는 bag포장처리구 보다 높게 평가되었다. 종합처리구에서는 색깔, 이취, 선호도에서 튜브포장은 저장 45주까지 유의차가 나타나지 않아 다른 포장처리구보다 안정성이 높게 나타났다. 생강다대기 제품의 품질수명은 대조구의 경우 $5^{\circ}C$에서는 품질유지기간이 4주 정도에 불과 하지만 첨가물을 첨가한 경우는 12주까지도 품질을 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. $-20^{\circ}C$ 저장군에서는 대조구에서 이취와 선호도의 저하로 품질수명이 15주정도로 짧게 나타났으나 첨가물을 첨가한 다대기는 저장 30주까지 품질이 안정적으로 유지되었고, 특히 튜브포장 방법은 저장 45주까지도 품질변화가 거의 없어 안정된 품질수명을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 저장성이 약한 생강의 품질변화를 최소화 하기위해 냉동생강으로 첨가물을 첨가한 생강다대기 제품을 튜브포장하여 제조하면 생강다대기의 품질변화를 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
