본 연구에서는 분리대두단백 효소가수분해물(eHISP)의 짠맛 증진 효과를 알아보기 위하여 된장국과 숙주나물 무침 내 소금의 양을 일정하게 하고 eHISP의 첨가량을 달리 하여 짠맛의 강도 평가와 전반적인 기호도의 차이를 비교 하였다. 된장국의 모든 시료의 NaCl 함량을 0.7%로 동일하게 한 후 대조구와 eHISP 첨가구간의 짠맛증진효과를 평가한 결과, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% 첨가구에서 각각 21%, 49%, 61%, 70%의 짠맛상승 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 기호도는 0.5%까지는 증가하고 이후 eHISP의 첨가량이 증가하면서 점차 낮게 평가되었다. 숙주나물 무침도 모든 시료의 NaCl의 농도를 0.7%가 되도록 하였으며, eHISP의 첨가량을 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%로 하였을 때 짠맛 증진 효과는 3%, 10%, 20%, 23%로 나타났다. 숙주 나물무침의 기호도는 1.0%에서 가장 높게 나타났다. eHISP의 첨가량이 증가할수록 된장국과 숙주나물의 명도 값은 감소하였으며, 적색도와 황색도는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

Recently, health concerns related to NaCl overconsumption have led to an increased demand for sodium-reduced foods. The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of using enzymatically hydrolyzed isolated soybean protein (eHISP) to reduce the level of salt in salad dressing. The intensity of the salty taste enhancing effect was 31%, 29%, 43%, and 52% in the samples with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% eHISP added, respectively. There are significant differences between the control and samples (p<0.05). The overall acceptability was increased as the amount of added eHISP was increased when eHISP was 1.0%. However, it was lower when 1.5% eHISP was added. The pH of salad dressing was increased as the eHISP addition was increased. The results showed that the addition of eHISP to a salad dressing significantly enhances its salty taste effect.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the sensory characteristics and protein concentration of enzymatically hydrolyzed isolated soy protein. As a result of QDA, 34 attribute descriptors were developed. According to the results of the flavor profile, the strengths of most color and tastes except sourness were evaluated before activated carbon treatment sample. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to summarize the relationship between attributes and samples. The result of PCA was 56.35% (F1) and 35.05% (F2), having explained 94.13% in total variablility. In case of the untreated sample of active carbon, it was located in the first quadrant and correlated with color, flavor, a slightly salty taste, and a slightly bitter taste. It also showed high correlation with meju taste. The activated carbon treatment samples were located in the second quadrant and correlated with delicate taste, slight saltiness, sourness, and umami, having high correlation with burned rice.

This study investigated the possible use of enzymatically hydrolyzed isolated soy protein (eHISP) to enhance the intensity of salty taste. The sodium chloride content of eHISP is 69.5 g/L. Yellowness (b) increased, and lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased with increasing eHISP concentration in sample solution. Also, perceived salty intensity of eHISP solution increased in sample solution with increasing added amount of eHISP with same NaCl concentration. The intensity of the salty taste was enhanced by 2-39% as the eHISP was added. The results suggest that it may be possible to reduce the content of sodium chloride in foods by enhancing the salty taste with eHISP.
