This study is aimed at examining the usefulness of mugwort as an alternative of western herb by making widely known tomato sauce with mugwort powder added, the ingredient that has a bio-active substance. The control group showed the highest percentage of water from tomato sauce, 89.24%. The sauce with mugwort added in by 2% showed the lowest pH, 4.55. The brightness L value for chromaticity got lower significantly (p>0.001) as the amount of added mugwort increased, and red a value and yellow b value were high in the control group for 18.06 and 16.84 respectively, and got reduced as the amount of added mugwort increased. The salinity was the highest in the sauce mugwort added in by 2% for 1.02. Sugar content and reducing sugar were the lowest in the sauce mugwort added in by 2% for 9.49 and 56.01. As measuring total count change, no microorganism was found until 10th day of storage, and was 0% 1.7×103CFU/mL on the 15th day, and no microorganism was found in the 1.5% and 2% added groups. Lastly for 60 days of storage, the control group without mugwort showed the highest microorganism count for 3.1×108CFU/mL In a sensory test, color was in the 1% added group was 5.28, higher than the control group which showed 4.78, but there was no significant difference. Taste was rated most highly in the 1.5% added group for 5.65. After taste was also rated most highly in the 1.5% added group for 5.8. Overall preference was the highest in the 1% added group for 5.79. From the results, tomato sauce with mugwort added in showed the high storage capacity and was rated highly in the preference test. The possibility of the alternative of western spice and the potential to use Korean spice for other western spice were observed again.

본 연구에서는 서양요리의 가장 기본이 되는 소스 중에 하 나인 베샤멜 소스에 우리나라 봄철에 손쉽게 얻을 수 있고, 다양한 기능성과 향리활성 물질을 가지고 있는 쑥을 동결건 조하여 소스에 첨가하여 최적의 첨가비율과 레시피를 알아 보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 시료로서 쑥을 밀가루 대비로 5, 10, 15, 20%를 첨가한 후 베샤멜 소스를 제조한 뒤, 기계적 검사(수분 함량, pH, 색도, 점도, 환원당, 항산화성)와 미생물 검사 및 관능검사를 실시하였고, 결과는 다음과 같이 요약되 었다. 동결건조한 쑥의 첨가량을 달리하여 제조한 베샤멜 소 스의 수분, pH, 색도를 측정한 결과는 수분은 대조군이 83.56% 로 가장 높게 나타났고, pH측정 결과는 쑥을 20% 첨가한 것 이 6.51로 가장 낮았다. 색도 중 명도와 적색도 모두 시료의 첨가량이 증가할수록 유의적(p>0.001)으로 낮아졌다. 황색도 b값은 쑥 20%를 첨가한 것이 35.82로 가장 높게 나타났다. 점 도는 대조군이 64.45 cp로 가장 낮았으며, 환원당은 대조군이 416.66 ㎎/㎖로 가장 낮았다. 총 균수의 변화를 측정한 결과는 저장 3일이 될 때까지 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 저장 5일에 0%를 첨가한 대조군이 2.5×103 CFU/㎖이었고, 10% 첨가군까 지 1.6×102 CFU/㎖ 미생물이 검출되었으며, 15%, 20% 첨가군 에서는 검출이 되지 않았다. 저장 7일에는 모든 첨가군에서 미생물이 검출이 되었으며, 20% 첨가군은 1.1×103 CFU/㎖로 미생물이 가장 적게 검출되었다. 10, 15일에서도 쑥 첨가량이 증가할수록 미생물 총 균수의 검출이 적게 나타났다. 쑥을 첨 가한 베샤멜 소스의 DPPH 유리기 소거능 결과는 쑥의 첨가 량이 많아질수록 DPPH 유리기 소거능이 증가하였다. 관능검 사 부분은 색, 향, 맛 등과 전반적인 기호도 면에서 10% 쑥을 첨가한 베샤멜 소스가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따 라 베샤멜 소스 제조 시에 동결건조한 쑥을 첨가함에 따라 저 장성 및 항산화성 향상에 도움이 되었으며 관능적으로 10% 첨가군에서 대조군보다 높은 점수를 받은 점으로 보아, 앞으 로 소스에 부재료의 첨가제로서의 이용 가능성을 엿볼 수 있 었다. 또한 서양의 향신료의 대체제로서의 활용과 쑥의 소비 촉진의 가능성이 높다고 사료된다.

This study was conducted to examine the applicability of muffins and the optimal ratio of batter mixture by adding mugwort with various functions and physiological active substances. In result of examining the quality characteristics of muffins after adding frozen-dried mugwort powder by 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, or 7%, the moisture retaining capacity of muffin batter was lowest with MPM0, the control group, and the deposition was highest at 17.94 ㎖ with MPM0. The pH value of muffin batter was highest at 8.62 with MPM0 and moisture decreased significantly (p<0.001) when more mugwort powder was added to the sample. The brightness increased significantly (p<0.001) when the amount of frozen-dried mugwort powder decreased and redness and yellowness decreased when the addition of mugwort powder increased. The height and volume of mugwort muffins were lowest at 4.75 ㎝ and 135.69 ㎖ with MPM7 with the greatest value of frozen-dried mugwort powder. The loss at baking of mugwort muffins was lowest at 2.27% with MPM7. The hardness of mugwort muffins was highest with MPM7 with the highest mugwort powder content. Coagulation and resilience was highest at 0.64 with the MPM0 control group and the chewiness increased significantly (p<0.001) with greater amount of frozen-dried mugwort powder. The appearance of mugwort muffins was highest at 6.1 with MPM5 and the most preferable color and flavors were found with MPM3. Tenderness was highest with the MPM0 control group. Overall preferability was highest with MPM3 with 3% frozen-dried mugwort powder. When adding frozen-dried mugwort powder to muffins, the 3% and control groups mostly showed the highest values, whereas the 5% group and higher groups showed lower values.
