In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles added with doraji (Platycodon grandiflourm) powder at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, respectively, were investigated. The crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude fiber, and moisture contents of the dried doraji powder were 11.00%, 0.95%, 4.10%, 29.64%, and 6.21%, respectively. As the added amount of doraji powder increased, weight, volume, and water absorption of the wet noodles after cooking decreased. However, the turbidity of the soup increased. Color L values of wet and cooked noodles decreased, while a and b values increased by the addition of doraji powder. Texture measurement indicated that hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness of the cooked noodles decreased by addition of doraji powder. The total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity in wet noodles added with doraji powder increased with increasing amounts of doraji powder. Finally, sensory evaluation of wet noodles added with doraji powder revealed that taste significantly decreased. However, flavor, color, texture, appearance, and overall acceptance scores for the 1% addition group ranked significantly higher than those of the other groups. In conclusion, these findings suggest that doraji powder could be used as functional food ingredients.

In this study, sulgidduk was prepared by addition of varying amount of black doraji extract and the physicochemical quality characteristics and antioxidant activities were investigated in order to explore the commercialization potential of sulgidduk supplemented with black doraji extract. The moisture content of sulgidduck supplemented with black doraji extract exhibited a significant decrease compared to the control. The pH of sulgidduck tended to decrease with increasing concentration of black doraji extract, and the reducing sugar content increased significantly from 0.33% to 3.51%. With an increase in the content of black doraji extract, a decrease in lightness (L*) and increase in redness (a*) was observed. A significant increase in the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity) was observed with the addition of the black doraji extract. Consequently, it is proposed that black doraji extract can be used for recipe development and commercialization of various rice cakes.

The main goal of this work was to investigate changes in microbiological quality and dominant bacterial communities present in minimally processed Platycodi radix (Doraji) under vacuum packaging during cold storage using matirix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry fingerprinting. Microbiological analysis of raw Platycodi radix throughout the manufacturing process highlighted the presence of high numbers of total viable cells both before and after storage. Further, the dominant bacterial communities changed during processing and storage, with greater richness detected in Enterobacteriaceae; specifically, Serratia fonticola and Rahnella aquatilis became abundant in Platycodi radix after processing. During storage at 5 and 15℃, the quality diminished and the relative abundance of Leuconostoc spp. increased; Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides and Leuconostoc citreum were the main bacterial communities in decayed Platycodi radix at the end of storage. Microorganisms present in Platycodi radix products during processing and storage are potentially involved in deterioration. The identification of dominant bacteria can be helpful in the effective establishment of packaging and storage conditions to prolong the freshness of minimally processed Platycodi radix products.

본 연구에서는 기능성이 우수한 도라지를 이용하여 흑도라지를 제조하였으며, 흑도라지 추출물, 사과즙, 대추추출물의 혼합비율을 달리하여 흑도라지 사과주스를 제조하고 각각의 품질특성과 기능성을 분석하였다. 흑도라지 사과주스의 pH는 3.90∼4.15이었으며, 산도는 1.2에서 1.5 사이를 나타내었다. 당도를 측정한 결과 흑도라지 사과주스 E가 가장 높은 값(9.33 °Brix)을 나타내었으며, 환원당 함량의 경우 흑도라지 사과주스 E가 85.05 mg/mL로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 흑도라지 사과주스 B가 41.23 mg/mL로 가장 낮은 함량을 보였다. 당산비 수치의 경우 당도와 환원당 함량이 가장 높은 흑도라지 사과주스 E가 6.98%로 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. 색도는 명도와 황색도는 흑도라지 사과주스 E가 가장 높았으며 적색도는 흑도라지 사과주스 C가 가장 높았다. 관능적 특성을 측정한 결과 향미를 제외한 모든 항목에서 흑도라지 사과주스 C가 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 흑도라지 사과주스 D가 가장 높은 폴리페놀 함량(706 ㎍/mL)과 항산화 활성을 보였으나 흑도라지 사과주스 C와 항산화 활성에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 따라서 흑도라지 사과주스 C가 관능적 특성 및 항산화 활성이 우수하여, 흑도라지 사과주스 제조를 위해 흑도라지 추출물, 사과주스, 대추추출물을 2:4:1의 비율로 혼합하는 것이 가장 바람직 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the hot-water and methanol extracts of raw and black Doraji to increase its utilization. In order to prepare the black Doraji, it was steamed for 15 days at a temperature of 60℃ and then it was dried at a temperature of 30℃ for 3 hr. The methanol extract from the black Doraji (BM) contained the highest levels of total polyphenols among the extracts, and the total polyphenol content of the extract from a black Doraji was higher than that of the extract from a raw Doraji. The total flavonoid contents of the hot-water extract from a black Doraji (BW) was the highest (7.94 mgQE/g) among the samples. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased according to the increase in the concentrations of the Doraji extracts. The BM has the highest radical scavenging activity among the extracts. Each extract showed a slight difference in the antibacterial activity according to the tested strains. The Black Doraji showed a higher antimicrobial activity compared to the raw Doraji. The hot-water extracts demonstrated higher activities than the methanol extracts, and the BW revealed the strongest activity. In this study, the black Doraji showed more effect of the antioxidant and anti-microbial activities than the raw Doraji. These results will provide fundamental data for improving the sitological value and the black Doraji can be used as a valuable resource for the development of nutraceutical foods.

The candy was prepared from starch syrup and sugar added with puree, extract and powder of Doraji, respectively. When three times extracted with 95% ethanol for 12 hours at and 4 hours at 51 and 78, the extract contents were 22.6%, 25.8% and 25.3%, respectively. L-value of candy which was made of puree and extract of Doraji was lower than that of control. As the content of puree and extract of Doraji is increased, L-value was decreased. In case of added with puree, extract and powder, a and b-values were higher than those of control. Quality of the candy in sensory evaluation was the best when 20% of puree, 2% of extract and 5% of powder were added to the starch syrup and sugar, respectively. The result of preference test with various model, Bokjumony (Korea traditional purse) was the best in eye freel and ellipse was the best in mouth feel. The calories of candy were 2999.6 ㎉/100g in puree 20%, 358.3 ㎉/100g in extract 2% and 352.1 ㎉/100g in powder 5%.
