마늘 가공 공정시 발생하는 품질손실과 저장기간 감소, 급속한 변질 등의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 PPase를 적용해 식물조직의 단세포를 유리시켰다. 마늘의 단세포화를 위한 최적조건은 250 rpm으로 의 조건에서 pH 8.0으로 150분 동안 활성화 시킬 때 최적 수율의 단세포화물을 얻었다. 단세포화물과 기계마쇄물의 품질 안정성을 비교한 결과 마늘의 주요 활성요소 성분인 alliin의 함량은 기계 마쇄물이 11 mg/g에서 6.6 mg/g
This study was carried out to investigate the change of functional component and volatile flavor components from garlic for which both were treated with protopectinase (PPase) and mechanical maceration during storage period. Alliin content of gallic suspensions macerated mechanically were 11.0 mg/g at 0 day and 6.6 mg/g at 24 day. Whereas alliin content of garlic treated with PPase were 8.5 m/g at 0 day and 7.0 mg/g at 24 day. Importantly, over 40% of alliin which is the most unstable component during the mechanical maceration remained with an intact form for 24 day after the enzymatic treatment. The flavor component from gallic suspensions were extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography (GC) and chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The number and concentrations of flavor components of gallic macerated mechanically were increased during storage period, and total 18 kinds of flavor compounds were identified. Thus, the PPase treatment of garlic could be a better choice for preparation of the highly valuable and functional processed food as well as for prolonging the preservation period.
