본 연구에서는 독특한 향과 맛으로 인하여 한식 요리에 많이 이용되고 있는 도라지를 다양한 동결채소로서 식품소재화하기 위한 수단으로 블랜칭 처리 조건 설정 연구가 시도되었다. 블랜칭 처리는 열수에서 1-5분동안 처리하였으며 처리 후 에서 24시간동안 급속동결시켜 에서 보관하면서 분석하였다. 블랜칭처리에 따른 동결 도라지의 품질변화는 색도, 경도, 총균 및 대장균군 수 및 관능검사에 의해 평가하였다. 블랜칭 처리한 다음 동결 전후의 도라지의 표면
This study was conducted to devise appropriate blanching-process conditions as a means to convert Doraji, which is widely used in Korean food due to its unique fragrance and flavor, into frozen food materials for various uses. For the Hunter L values representing the brightness transformation among the surface color and gloss changes that were observed in Doraji before and after freezing, and after Doraji went through a blanching process, the specimen that went through a blanching process at showed a significantly higher value compared to another specimen processed at a higher temperature, and the first specimen's value also rose after freezing. Meanwhile, for the hardness values, they declined more as the blanching temperature became higher and as the processing time became longer. For the number of total counts and the number of coliform groups, the number of total counts at and cfu/g before the blanching process was reduced into the approximately 2-3 log scale, and no coliform group was detected after the blanching process. As for the peroxidase activity, its activation was decreased by the blanching process, and more than 89% of the peroxidase became inactivated in all the specimens that went through the blanching process. The sensory characteristics of the frozen-thawed Doraji by test group showed the radish leaves blanched at for 1 min to be the most highly evaluated in terms of the overall preference level (p<0.05).
