본 연구에서는 마른 오징어의 품질 향상을 위해서 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 천일 건조와 온풍건조 방법을 이용하여 건조조건에 따른 마른 오징어의 건조특성 및 이화학적 품질 특성을 분석하였다. 건조방법에 따른 건조완료 마른오징어의 건조시간, 수분함량 및 수분활성도는 온풍건조의 경우 온도가 증가함에 따라 건조시간은 줄어들었고 천일건조의 경우에는 총 120시간만에 건조가 완료되었으며 수분활성도는 미생물의 생육과 증식이 불가능한 0.468~0.486을

To replace the traditional drying method with improving the qualities of dried squid, warm air drying method was investigated comparing with natural drying method. In respect of drying rate, about 12 hrs were taken to obtain 25% moisture content -which was considered as proper moisture content to control microbial and quality degradation- by warm air drying at 35. However, 120 hrs were taken to obtain such moisture content by natural drying. The squid dried by warm air showed little color difference and was seemed to be raw squid meat color. TBA values were more rapidly increased but final values were lower, inversely. Free amino acid contents were higher, and cholesterol content was lower in warm air drying.
