본 연구에서는 홍삼농축액의 유화특성을 조사하였다. 먼저, 홍삼농축액의 표면활성능을 조사 하였으며, 이어서 홍삼농축액 유화액을 제조하고 이의 이화학적 성질을 조사하였다. 홍삼농축액의 물/기 름 계면에서 계면장력은 홍삼농축액 농도의 증가와 더불어 감소하였다. 홍삼농축액을 이용하여 유화액을 제조한 결과, 첨가 농도의 증가와 더불어 유화 지방구 크기는 감소하였으며, 홍삼농축액 농도가 3.5 wt% 이상일 경우 일정한 지방구 크기(d43 ≒ 0.39 μm)의 안정한 유화액을 형성하였고, separation analyzer(LUMiFugeⓇ)를 이용한 유화안정도 평가 결과에서도 이와 유사한 안정도 변화 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 홍삼농축액 유화액 중 지방구 크기는 pH 및 NaCl 농도변화에 의존하였는데, pH가 감 소함에 따라 지방구 크기는 증가하고 음의 제타전위 값[-67.0 mV (pH 9.0) → + 2.1 mV (pH 2.0)]은 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, NaCl 농도(0.1 M → 0.5 M)가 높을수록 지방구 크기는 증가하였다. 본 실 험을 통해 홍삼농축액의 유화능을 확인할 수 있었다.
우리나라 전통수산식품의 식품학적 연구의 일환으로서 담치젓국의 유리아미노산, 핵산관련물질, betaine, 총 creatinine 및 유기산 등의 정미성분과 지방산조성을 분석하였다. 담치젓국의 수분함량은 59.6%였고 조단백질 및 당은 9.4%였다. 각각 18.2%, VBN함량은 89.4mg/100g이었고 아미노질소 함량은 157.3mg/100g이었다. 총유리아미노산 함량은 건물량기준으로 10,520.5mg/100g 이었고 이중 glycine, arginine, aspartic acid 및 glutamic acid가 전체의 55.7%를 차지하였다. 핵산관련물질은 hypoxanthine의 함량이 건물량기준으로 8.77 μmole/g으로써 가장 많았다. 담치젓국의 엑스분질소중에서 유리아미노산질소, 암모니아질소, 핵산관련물질질소, TMAO질소, TMA질소, betaine질소 및 총 creatinine질소가 전체의 71.7%를 차지하고 있었고 이중 유리아미노산질소가 53.3%를 차지하여 상당히 많았다. 불휘발성유기산은 7종이 동정되었으며 succinic acid가 건물량기준으로 125.5mg/100g으로서 가장 많았고 다음으로 lactic acid(91.9mg/100g) 및 α-keto-glutaric acid(23.2mg/100g)의 순이었으며 oxalic acid, fumalic acid, malic acid 및 citric acid는 미량 검출되었다. 지방산조성은 폴리엔산이 45.5%, 포화산이 33.0%, 모노엔산이 21.5%였고 주요구성지방산은 16 : 0, 18 : 2, 22 : 6, 18 : 1 및 20 : 5였다. 관능검사 결과 유리아미노산이 맛에 기여하는 정도가 가장 컸고 다음으로 유기산 및 핵산관련물질의 순이었다. 담치젓국의 맛에는 유리아미노산과 불휘발성유기산이 중요한 역할을 하며 핵산관련물질과 TMAO, betaine 및 creatinine이 보조적 역할을 할 것으로 볼 수 있었다.
Background : The Food industry is trying to replace many synthetic with surfactants with natural alternatives, mainly inspired by consumer’s demand. Saponins are water-soluble small amphiphilie molecules that can be isolated from various natural sources. Especially, concentrated red ginseng extract (CRGE) contains saponins (called as ginsenoside) and they have been shown medical activities to help alleviate pathological symptoms, promote health and prevent potential diseases. In this study, we confirmed the effectiveness of this natural emulsifier for forming and properties of emulsions containing those. Methods and Results : CRGE was supplied D company, located in Geumsan. We examined the interfacial tension, emulsifying activity, fat globule size, dispersion stability, zeta-potential, microscopic observation. The interfacial tension decreased gradually with increasing CRGE concentration. In emulsion systems, as the concentration increases, fat globules sizes also becomes smaller as well as result of dispersion stability evaluated by separation analyzer (i.e., LUMiFuge) showed that it was more stable in emulsions with increasing CRGE concentration. CRGE-coated droplets were stable to droplet coalescence over a range of pH value (2 - 9), salt concentrations (0 - 500 mM NaCl). However, some flocculation was observed under highly acidic (pH 3) and high ionic strength (≧ 400 mM NaCl) conditions, which might be attributed to screening of electrostatic repulsion. Especially, CRGE-coated droplets had high negative charged at basic pH that decreased in magnitude with falling pH. Conclusion : Thus, CRGE have some emulsifying properties as well as medical activities. The results means that emulsions formed with CRGE may be able to replace synthetic surfactants in food industry.
Plum highlighted as a health food is needed to diversify the processed products because labor storage is big problem since the fruit was producted massively in June. The Plum was extracted by the pressing type extractor after washing, drying and removing the seed by seed separator. The crude extract was concentrated with stainless steel vessel at different temperature and stirring speed. This study was obtained as follows. The sugar content of fresh plum concentrated extract was 55.3~58.3Brix, and of the freezing plum concentrated extract was 75.5~70.3Brix. In color difference, the freezing plum concentrated extract was more deep black than fresh plum. In change patten of pH, it was decreased as concentration was proceed. The final pH was 2.3~2.2 in fresh plum, and 1.8~2.2 in freezing plum. The total acid content of fresh plum concentrated extract and the freezing plum was 45.4~47.8, 60.3~60.9%, respectively. The content of evaporation at 855 was constant irrespective of stirring speed. The yield of extraction of fresh plum was higher than freezing plum. According to this results, the use of stainless vessel, 50rpm, which gave a highly qualified plum concentrated extract.
