Abstract

Red yeast rice flour, which is a natural functional material, was used in muffin production at different concentrations ranging from 0 to 10%. The initial pasting temperature was not affected by the addition of red yeast rice flour, whereas peak viscosity and final viscosity decreased with increasing concentrations. The lightness value of the muffins decreased, however, the redness value increased with increasing amounts of red yeast rice flour. The bulk of the muffins was generally reduced by the addition of red yeast rice flour. At the 10% concentration, hardness and viscosity were similar to the control, and there were no changes in springiness or cohesiveness. For the sensory evaluation, parameters such as appearance, color, texture, taste, and overall acceptability increased significantly from the control at the 3% concentration of red yeast rice flour, but flavor decreased with increasing amounts of red yeast rice flour. Based on these results and the sensory evaluation specifically, the optimal amount of red yeast rice flour added to the muffins was the 3% concentration.

천연 기능성 소재인 홍국분말의 이용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 홍국분말을 0, 1, 3, 5, 10% 첨가한 머핀을 제조하여 품질특성을 조사하였다. 아밀로그래프에 의한 호화특성 측정결과 홍국분말의 첨가는 밀가루의 호화개시온도에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 홍국분말 첨가량이 증가할수록 최고점도와 최종점도가 감소하였다. 또한 홍국분말의 첨가량이 증가할수록 머핀의 L값은 감소하였고, a값은 현저히 증가하였다. 머핀의 부피는 모든 첨가군에서 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 경도와 점성은 10% 첨가군에서만 대조군과 유사한 경향을 나타냈으며, 탄력성과 응집성은 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 관능검사 결과, 외관, 색상, 맛, 조직감에서 모두 홍국분말 3% 첨가군이 가장 높게 평가되었다. 그러나 향에서는 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 그 기호도도 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 홍국분말의 첨가가 품질특성에 영향을 미치기는 하지만 3% 정도의 첨가는 일반머핀보다 관능적으로 우세하게 평가되었기에 기능성을 가진 머핀제조가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
