Abstract

The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of commercial film-packed soybean sprouts from domestic cultivars were investigated. The hardness of the cotyledons was higher than that of the hypocotyls in fresh and cooked soybean sprouts (Kongnamulmuchim). Furthermore, the color determination showed that the hypocotyls and cotyledons of the soybean sprouts had a light green color that was not eliminated by cooking. The acceptability of fresh soybean sprouts was negatively correlated with a beany odor, beany taste, and grassy taste, but positively correlated with a nutty odor, nutty taste, and sweet taste. In addition, the acceptability of boiled soybean sprouts was negatively correlated with a beany and grassy taste, and positively correlated with a nutty odor and taste. Furthermore, the acceptability of cooked soybean sprouts was negatively correlated with a beany odor, beany taste, grassy odor, and grassy taste, while it was positively correlated with a nutty odor and taste. Finally, the lipoxygenase activity of the cotyledons was higher than that of the hypocotyls in fresh and boiled soybean sprouts.

국산콩으로 재배한 포장 콩나물의 물리화학적 특성 및 관능적 특성을 검토하였다. 생콩나물 및 콩나물 무침은 자엽부가 배축부에 비해 높은 견고성을 나타냈으며 콩나물 무침은 생콩나물에 비해 자엽부 및 배축부의 견고성이 낮았다. 생콩나물 및 콩나물 무침의 자엽부 및 배축부는 약한 녹색도를 보여 생콩나물의 녹화는 가열에 의해 제거되지 않았다. 생콩나물은 비린 냄새와 비린 맛, 풋 맛이 약할수록, 고소한 냄새와 고소한 맛, 단 맛이 강할수록 높은 선호도를 보였다. 익힌 콩나물의 선호도는 비린 맛과 풋 맛이 약할수록, 고소한 냄새와 고소한 맛이 강할수록 높았으며, 콩나물 무침은 비린 냄새와 비린 맛, 풋 냄새와 풋 맛이 약할수록, 고소한 냄새와 고소한 맛이 강할수록 높은 선호도를 보였다. 생콩나물과 익힌 콩나물의 리폭시게나제 활성은 자엽부가 배축부에 비해 높았다.
