본 연구에서는 당유자 원료의 세절방법과 당유자 정백당 혼합물의 냉동저장 기간 및 당유자청의 희석배수에 따른 당유자차의 관능적 평가를 실시하고 전반적인 기호도에 대해 조사하였다. 원료선별, 세척, 건조, 절단 및 씨앗제거 과정을 거친 당유자를 슬라이스 세절 후 당침하거나 믹서기로 갈고 과육과 과피를 혼합 당침한, 두 종류의 당유자청을 제조하고 이를 적정 비율로 희석하여 제조한 당유자차의 맛, 색상과 향을 비교하였다 또한 원료세절 후 정백 당에 당침
This study was performed to investigate the effects of mixing methods, storage period, and dilution ratio of Dangyuja-sugar mixture on the customer preferences for Dangyuja-tea. Most sensory characteristics such as bitterness, flavor, and taste are influenced more by mixing methods of Dangyuja-sugar mixtiue than by storage period. The Dangyuja-sugar mixture prepared by slice cutting is preferred to those prepared by operating electric mixer, The preference test showed that the appearance is not influenced by storage period but by mixing methods, whereas the tne and texture is more affected by storage period in which the 24 month storage is preferred to 12 month storage. therefore, the overall preference fer Dangyuja-tea is the on that prepared with 20% contents of Dangyuja-sugar mixture which is slice-cut and 24 month stored.
