본 연구에서는 분리대두단백 효소가수분해물(eHISP)의 짠맛 증진 효과를 알아보기 위하여 된장국과 숙주나물 무침 내 소금의 양을 일정하게 하고 eHISP의 첨가량을 달리 하여 짠맛의 강도 평가와 전반적인 기호도의 차이를 비교 하였다. 된장국의 모든 시료의 NaCl 함량을 0.7%로 동일하게 한 후 대조구와 eHISP 첨가구간의 짠맛증진효과를 평가한 결과, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% 첨가구에서 각각 21%, 49%, 61%, 70%의 짠맛상승 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 기호도는 0.5%까지는 증가하고 이후 eHISP의 첨가량이 증가하면서 점차 낮게 평가되었다. 숙주나물 무침도 모든 시료의 NaCl의 농도를 0.7%가 되도록 하였으며, eHISP의 첨가량을 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%로 하였을 때 짠맛 증진 효과는 3%, 10%, 20%, 23%로 나타났다. 숙주 나물무침의 기호도는 1.0%에서 가장 높게 나타났다. eHISP의 첨가량이 증가할수록 된장국과 숙주나물의 명도 값은 감소하였으며, 적색도와 황색도는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

Recently, health concerns related to NaCl overconsumption have led to an increased demand for sodium-reduced foods. The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of using enzymatically hydrolyzed isolated soybean protein (eHISP) to reduce the level of salt in salad dressing. The intensity of the salty taste enhancing effect was 31%, 29%, 43%, and 52% in the samples with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% eHISP added, respectively. There are significant differences between the control and samples (p<0.05). The overall acceptability was increased as the amount of added eHISP was increased when eHISP was 1.0%. However, it was lower when 1.5% eHISP was added. The pH of salad dressing was increased as the eHISP addition was increased. The results showed that the addition of eHISP to a salad dressing significantly enhances its salty taste effect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of enzymatically hydrolyzed anchovy protein (eHAP) to enhance the salty taste in salad dressing when it was applied in cooking. The intensity of the salty taste was enhanced by 5-11% when 0.1-1.5% eHAP was added. This indicates that the salty taste enhancing effect was decreased as the amount of added eHAP was increased. However, there are no significant differences between the control and samples (p>0.05). The overall preference was increased as the amount of added eHAP was increased. The preference value was the highest when 1.0% of eHAP was added, while it was slightly lower when 1.5% of eHAP was added. This may be because the content of free amino acids with a bitter taste contained in eHAP was increased. The pH value was increased as the amount of added eHAP was increased. With respect to the chromaticity, the lightness and yellowness were increased but the redness was not significantly changed when the amount of added eHAP was increased. It was found that the addition of eHAP to a salad dressing enhanced the salty taste and the preference, but the enhancement was not significant.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of enzymatically hydrolyzed anchovy protein (eHAP) to enhancing of salty taste in dried pollack soup and mungbean sprout when it was applied in cooking. The salty taste enhancing effect was evaluated by comparing the dried pollack soup samples with eHAP added and the control sample containing 0.6% NaCl, and the result showed that the salty taste enhancing effect was 15%, 25%, 42%, and 46% in the samples with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% eHAP added, respectively. The overall acceptability was decreased as the eHAP addition was increased. In case of a bean sprout containing 0.7% NaCl, the salty taste enhancing effect was 29%, 18%, 16%, and 31% in the 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% eHAP added, respectively. The lightness and yellowness were decreased as the eHAP addition was increased in both the dried pollack soup and the bean sprout. The pH of the dried pollack soup was decreased but the pH of the bean sprout dish was increased as the addition of eHAP was increased. The application of eHAP to food showed a significant salty taste enhancing effect, but the effect was dependent on the type of foods.

The reduction of the content of sodium chloride in noodle was studied to prevent the problems related to excessive sodium intake, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the effect of hydrolyzed anchovy products (HAP) on the salty taste of cooked noodle. The experiment was set up to determine the general properties of dough in dried and cooked noodles, with a sensory test used while increasing the concentration of HAP at same salt contents. There was no significant difference in water binding capacity, solubility, swelling power, lightness, and cooking properties. The redness, yellowness, and hardness were increased upon increasing the contents of HAP. From the sensory evaluation, cooked noodle with added HAP had a high score in appearance, color, texture, and flavor. Moreover, 50% and 75% HAP showed higher values than the control item in saltiness, preference of saltiness, and overall acceptance. Consequently, the HAP could have an effect on dried noodles or cooked noodles as a salty taste enhancer without changing the noodle’s properties.
