Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the quality changes of Yukwa during storage using the various item packaging methods present in the domestic market. The samples consisted of a self-adhesive-oriented polypropylene (OPP) film pouch (P1), a heat-sealed OPP film pouch (P2), and a polystyrene (PS) tray with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) lid (P3). These were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ up to eight weeks. Throughout the storage period, the acid values of all the study samples remained under the Korean hygiene regulation limit of 2.0 mg KOH/g. The P2 samples showed both the slowest decrease in water content and the slowest increase in hardness value during storage. Sensory evaluation also showed that the P2 samples were the only ones that maintained their market value of 5.0 throughout the eight-week assessment period.

국내 한과 업체들에서 생산하는 대용량포장제품은 포장개봉 후 장기보관의 어려움이 있는 것으로 지적되어 왔다. 따라서 최근 일부 업체를 중심으로 단위 소포장 방법을 적용하는 추세가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 한과 업체들에서 사용되는 다양한 단위 소포장 재질과 형태를 적용하여 실온 저장 중 품질변화와 저장성 차이를 비교하여 최적의 포장기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 유과시료들은 비포장구(C), 접착식 OPP 필름포장구(P1), 열봉함 OPP 필름포장구(P2)와 PS tray 포장구(P3)로 나누어 포장된 후 최대 8주까지 약 $25^{\circ}C$/상대습도 25% 내외의 조건으로 저장되었다. 저장 말기까지 모든 시료의 산가는 기준치인 2.0 mg KOH/g을 초과하지 않았다. P2 포장구에서는 저장 8주 동안 수분함량의 감소 폭이 가장 작았으며 저장 8주차까지 관능평가의 모든 항목에서 상품한계선인 5.0점 이상을 유지하여 조사된 시료들 중 가장 우수하게 평가되었다. 산가, 경도와 수분함량 등의 결과로 미루어볼 때 낱개 포장된 유과는 $25^{\circ}C$ 인큐베이터에서 최소 8주 이상의 저장한계를 가질 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 유과는 여러 물리화학적 품질지표 중 수분감소 및 감량에 의한 경도 상실로 인하여 상품성과 저장성이 제한되므로 장기저장을 위해서는 우수한 수증기 차단성 포장재와 포장방법이 필수적이다. 이러한 관점에서 비밀봉식 접착필름과 tray를 이용한 포장방법은 밀봉필름을 이용한 포장방법과 비교하여 작업성이 떨어질 뿐 아니라 작업 시 포장재의 수증기차단성 및 접착 정도가 유과 제품의 저장 중 품질변화 정도에 크게 영향을 미치는 요인으로 작용할 것으로 사료된다.
