본 실험은 여러 가지 보습제 및 방부제(Sodium lactate, Glycerol, Propylene glycol, sorbitol, Mannitol, Sodium benzoate, Potassium sorbate 및 Calcium propionate)처리를 한 중간수분식품 모델의 보수력을 등온흡습 곡선으로 처리하였다. 중간수분식품의 모델은 오징어를 재료로 사용하였고, 제조된 모델식품의 저장성도 검토하였다. 저장요인으로서는 지질산패, 색깔변화 및 곰팡이 번식을 관찰하였다. 보습제의 보수력은 mannitol<sorbitol<sodium lactate<propyleneglycol<glcerol의 순서로 높았으며, 특히 1-7% sodium lactate는 모델식품의 보수력 증가에 기여도가 높게 나타났으며, 실제로 조미오징어 제조에 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 저장기간 60일 동안 sodium lactate 처리구의 TBA가(價), 갈변반응 및 지질산패의 정도는 재래적 방법에 의한 당(糖) 처리구에 비해 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.
This study was, firstly, to investigate water holding capacity in terms of variation of moisture sorption isotherms of seasoned squid treated with sodium lactate, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and calcium propionate, and secondly, the effect of humectant treatments on storage stability was studied. The criteria for storage stability was based on three quality factors, namely, lipid oxiations, color development by non-enzymatic browning reactions and lipid oxidation, and mold growth. The effect of humectants on equilibrium moisture content was in the following increasing order; mannitol < sorbitol < sodium lactate < propylene glycol < glycerol. The experimental data indicated that sodium lactate has, in practice, potentially positive effect on processing of seasoned squid. During the storage period of 60 days, TBA values increased in all samples tested as humectants concentrations increased up to 10%. However, in the range of 1-7% sodium lactate treatment, the degree of lipid oxidation, browning reactions and mild growth were not high enough to affect the quality of seasoned squid, when compared with conventionally manufactured ones.
