치커리의 적정 볶음조건 설정을 위하여 볶음조건에 따른 일반성분, 유리당, 갈색도, 가용성고형분 함량, 표면색깔 및 향기성분을 측정하였다. 각 온도별 적정 볶음조건은 $130^{circ}C$에서는 30분, $150^{circ}C$에서는 10분 그리고 $170^{circ}C$에서는 3분이 가장 적당한 것으로 나타났으나 $150^{circ}C$에서 10분간 볶음처리하는 것이 작업시간과 에너지 절약 측면에서 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 가용성고형분 함량은 볶음온도나 시간에 영향을 받지 않았고 볶은 치커리의 유리당은 xylose 0.87%, fructose 0.62% 및 sucrose 0.84% 등 유리당 함량의 합은 2.33%였다. 치커리의 향기성분을 분리한 결과 23개의 주요 향기성분 피크를 얻었고 GC/MSD를 이용하여 이중 17개의 피크에 대하여 향기성분을 확인할 수 있었다. 확인된 향기성분을 분류하여 보면 aldehyde 화합물 5종, ketone 화합물 4종, pyrazine 화합물 4종, alcohol 화합물 3종 및 benzene 화합물 1종이었다.
This study was designed to investigate the reasonable roasting condition of chicory. Extraction and surface color development of roasted chicory were significantly influenced by roasting temperature and time, and they were increased with increasing time, and roasting at $170^{circ}C$ showed the highest browning color development. Soluble solid contents was not affected by roasting temperature and time. Roasting for 10min at $150^{circ}C$ exhibited the highest sensory score, at which the free sugar composition of the extract was 0.87% xylose, 0.62% fructose and 0.84% sucrose. A total of 17 volatile components were identified by GC/MSD from the dried and roasted chicories. Aldehyde, ketone and pyrazine compounds were found to be major volatile flavor components in chicory roots. It was concluded that the results of this work will be useful to determine the optimum conditions for roasting of chicory roots.
