Abstract

We aimed to determine the quality indicators for quality prediction of frozen green pumpkin in distribution. Freshly harvested green pumpkin slices were blanched under optimal conditions (confirmed in a preliminary experiment), quick-frozen at $-40^{\circ}C$ for 24 h, and stored at 0, -5, -15, and $-25^{\circ}C$. The correlation between each quality characteristic and the sensory preference rate was analyzed. There was a significant correlation between storage temperature-related drip rate and preference rate across all temperatures, except at$-25^{\circ}C$. Hunter values, a and b, showed relatively high correlation coefficient values at -5, -15, and $-25^{\circ}C$. Therefore, a change in the Hunter values should be considered when storing green pumpkin, because of their significant correlation with changes in the sensory preference and drip rates. Furthermore, they should be applied as quality indicators for the quality prediction of frozen green pumpkin in distribution.

본 연구는 냉동 애호박의 유통 중 품질을 예측하기 위하여 적정 품질지표를 규명하고자 수행되었다. 수확 직후 애호박은 선행실험을 통한 최적 조건인 소금 2%를 첨가한 $90^{\circ}C$ 물에서 3분 동안 blanching 처리한 후 $-40^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 급속동결 하였다. 동결된 애호박은 0, -5, -15 및 $-25^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 드립률, 색도, 경도, 미생물 및 관능특성 변화를 조사한 후 각 품질특성과 관능적 기호도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 저장온도에 따른 드립률과 기호도와의 상관관계는 $-25^{\circ}C$를 제외한 모든 온도 조건에서 유의적인 상관관계를 나타냈으나, 경도와 미생물은 기호도와의 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 녹색도 a 값과 황색도 b 값은 -5, -15 및 $-25^{\circ}C$에서 비교적 높은 상관계수를 나타내었다. 따라서 저장온도 -5, -15 및 $-25^{\circ}C$에서 관능적 기호도와 높은 상관관계를 나타낸 색도 a와 b 값의 변화 그리고 $-25^{\circ}C$를 제외한 모든 온도 조건에서 유의적인 상관관계를 나타낸 드립률의 변화를 냉동 애호박의 유통 중 품질예측을 위한 품질지표로 선정하여 적용하는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단되었다.
