건시제조에 관한 기초자료로서 품종에 따른 화학성분 및 당조성의 변화와 생과 및 건시의 물성에 관하여 실험한 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 건조가 진행됨에 따라 가용성 tannin은 acetaldehyde, alcohol의 증가와는 반대로 급격히 감소하였으며, 이러한 변화는 경산반시와 평핵무(平核無)에서 비교적 컸다. 건조중 당조성의 변화는 sucrose가 건조초기에 급격히 감소하는 반면 glucose와 fructose는 증가하여 건시과육의 당조성은 품종에 따라서 약간 다르나 glucose와 fructose가 비슷한 함량이었으며 백분은 대부분 glucose로 구성되어 있었다. 생과와 건시의 물성을 측정해본 결과와 관능검사 결과 평핵무(平核無), 사곡시는 건시제조용 품종으로 비교적 좋았으나 장둥이, 남양수시는 건시제조용 품종으로 바람직하지 못한 것으로 나타났다.
This study was conducted to determine the interconversion of sugars in persimmon during the drying process and the textural properties of raw and dried persimmons using the changes of some chemical constituents, the analysis of sugar component, and the measurement of texture. Five varieties of persimmons were used in this experimment. As the drying proceeded, content of acetaldehyde and alcohol increased while soluble tannin content rapidly decreased. The rapid changes of these component obserbed in kyongsan Bansi and Hiratanenashi. Soluble sugars detected in raw persimmons were mainly glucose, fructose and sucrose. The content of sucrose was rapidly decreased in early stage of drying, while glucose and fructose were rapidly increased. The nearly same amount of glucose and fructose presented in the dried persimmon although there were some differences among varieties tested. The major component of white powder developed on the surface of dried persimmon was almost glucose. The texture profile analysis of the raw and dried persimmons was made with texturemeter and the quality of the dried persimmons was sensory evaluation method. Hiratanenashi and Sagoksi were determined as the suitable varieties in the processing of dried persimmons, but the varieties of Changdungyee and Namyang Susi were not suitable.
