감자와 고구마의 박피 방법별 초기 품질을 비교 검토하였다. 박피 방법별 감모율은 회전식 마찰형 박피기로 박피한 감자가 평균 7.9%, 고구마가 7.3%로 가장 우수하였다. 박피후 수분함량은 박피방법별로는 큰 차이가 없었으며 박피후 3시간까지 대체적으로 감소하였다. pH는 박피후 감자는 5.8-6.8, 고구마는 6.23-6.63이었으며 박피후 시간의 경과에 따라 다소 감소하였다. 경도는 일반과도를 이용한 수작업 박피가 우수하였다. 감자의 갈변도는
This study was carried out to obtain fundamental data such as peeling efficiency and quality of potatoes and sweet potatoes peeled by hand, machine and alkali(NaOH). The weight loss by peeling was influenced by peeling methods. Weight losses by rotational brushing-type peeler showed the lowest value, 7.9% in potato, and 7.3% in sweet potato. Any significant differences in moisture content were not found in potatoes and sweet potatoes by peeling methods. The pH of potatoes and sweet potatoes just after peeling were 5.8-6.8 and 6.23-6.63, and decreased somewhat until 3 hrs after peeling. Hardness of potatoes and sweet potatoes peeled by hand with fruit knife were better than that of others. Depending upon the peeling method used the color and color differences undergo some changes in their color and browning. Color difference value of peeled potatoes by hand with a technical tools, and by mechanical peeler such as rotational cutting-type peeler and rotational brushing-type peeler showed just slightly. In particular, changes of rotor differences value of potatoes and sweet potatoes peeled by dipping with 10% NaOH solution at was the highest in the samples peeled by NaOH.
