도라지 쓴맛 개선을 위한 공정개발 연구

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the improvement effects of bitter taste of doraji (Platycodon grandiflorum) with different freezing temperature conditions (-5°C, -10°C, -20°C, and -70°C). After freezing for 4h, frozen doraji was thawed and dehydrated. Doraji frozen at -20°C showed higher contents of crude fat, crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber, and nitrogen free extract. Moisture, crude saponin, and total polyphenol contents of doraji frozen at -5°C were higher than in other samples. Weight loss of doraji was significantly different as freezing temperature decreased and the process repeated. Doraji frozen at -5°C showed higher contents of saponin and phenol than the control. Hardness of doraji increased as freezing temperature decreased. According to the preference test, Doraji frozen at -5°C showed higher preference and less bitter taste intensity than other samples. These results mean that doraji frozen at -5°C with less bitter taste could be utilized widely as a food material.
