참외를 이용한 적절한 가공식품 개발의 일환으로 참외잼을 제조하였으며, 참외잼에서 중요한 인자로 작용하는 참외 페이스트 함량(40, 45, 50, 55, 60 g), 첨가당에 대한 과당의 비율(20, 35, 50, 65, ) 및 펙틴함량(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 g)을 달리하면서 참외잼을 제조하였다. 당도가 가장 높게 나타난 참외잼 제조조건은 첨가된 과당함량의 비율이 , 참외페이스트의 함량이 41.04 g 및 펙틴함량이 2.12
This study was carried out to establish the preparation condition of muskmelon jam. A central composite design was applied to investigate effects of muskmelon paste content(40, 45, 50, 55, 60 g), fructose ratio of sugar(20, 35, 50, 65, ) and pectin addition(l, 2, 3, 4, 5 g). The maximum sugar content was 61.48 Brix in 41.04 g of muskmelon paste content, of fructose ratio of sugar and 2.12 g of pectin content. The maximum value of softness was 2.71 g in 45.06 g of muskmelon paste content, of fructose ratio of sugar and 2.71 g of pectin addition. The minimum value of jelly strength was in 47.80 g of muskmelon paste content, of fructose ratio of sugar and 1.99 g of pectin addition. The maximum value of organoleptic overall palatability was 5.89 in 55.65 g of muskmelon paste content, of fructose ratio of sugar and 2.42 g of pectin addition. The optimum conditions predicted for each corresponding physicochemical and organoleptic properties of muskmelon jam were 55.2 g(muskmelon paste content), (fructose ratio of sugar) and 2.5 g(pectin addition).
