대부분의 마는 건조분말제품으로 가공되고 있는데, 마를 다양한 가공품으로 개발하기 위한 방법의 하나로 삼투건조라는 전처리를 행하여 건조에 의한 품질손상을 억제하고 단맛으로 기호성을 높인 건조 마 제품을 얻을 수 있는 당절임 공정의 최적화를 시도하여 최적조건을 얻고자 하였다. 침지시간을 3-7시간, 온도는 20-6, 당농도는 30-70%로 하는 중심합성계획법으로 실험을 설계하여 최적화하였다. 이때의 종속변수로는 침지 후 수분함량, 당도, 색도, 그리
This study was conducted to optimize sugaring process of yam for development of new snack product and enhancement acceptability. Three variables by five level central composite design and response surface methodology were used to determine optimum conditions for sugaring time, temperature and concentration. Optimization of the process was conducted using the combination of the moisture content, solid content, color and rehydration ratio. The regression polynomial model was suitable (P>0.05) model by Lack-of-Fit analysis with highly significant. To optimize the process, based on surface response and contour plots, superimposing the individual contour plots for the response variables. The optimum conditions for this process were 5.5 hours and 58% at 40 under the optimum of restricted variables as moisture content was 66 to 70, solid content was 25 to 30%, L value was above 75, a value was -2.1 to -2.4, b value was above 5 and rehydration ratio was 200 to 250.
