본 연구는 "천일염을 이용한 염장가공품의 개발"에 관한 연구의 일부로서 천일염의 우수성을 세계에 알리며 천일염을 이용한 응용요리의 개발과 국제화 방안을 목적으로 제과류에 천일염으로 만든 된장분말을 첨가하고자 쿠키와 머핀제품을 제조하였으며 천일염 된장분말을 첨가하여 제조한 쿠키와 머핀의 색도와 텍스쳐를 측정하고 관능검사를 실시하여 최적의 된장분말 첨가량을 알아내어 기능성 쿠키와 머핀의 최적배합비를 확립하고자 하였다. 쿠키와 머핀에 천일염 된장분말
Recipes for cookies and muffins made with soybean paste and sun-dried salt were established and characteristics of the foods were investigated. On Hunter's color scale, 'L' values decreased and brightness was lowered as additive levels increased, whereas the 'a' value(redness) increased and the 'b' value(yellowness) decreased. The hardness of a control muffin was 1843 g and this increased as additive levels rose. Cookies showed the same tendency. Elasticity was not proportional to paste content whereas crispness increased as additive levels increased. Sensory evaluations of cookies and muffins with different soybean paste contents(0-8%, w/v) showed that additive at 1% (w/v) was best and additive at 8%(w/v) was unacceptable. All products scored poorly 48 h after preparation; freshness needs to be investigated further.
