Abstract

본 연구에서는 파일럿 스케일의 에멘탈치즈를 제조하였으며, 치즈제조 과정에서 PAB를 첨가하지 않은 치즈를 대조군으로 사용하여 숙성 중 lactic acid의 대사와 지방의 가수분해에 의한 화학적 변화를 연구하였다. 실험결과 에멘탈치즈의 숙성 중 lactic acid는 최초 9.39 g/kg에서 숙성종료(90일)까지 2.56 g/kg으로 감소하였으며, 1.48 g/kg의 acetic acid와 6.11 g/kg의 propionic acid를 생성하였다. 반면 대조군은 숙성 종료일(90일)에 lactic acid의 함량이 15.96 g/kg까지 증가하였으며, acetic acid와 propionic acid는 각각 0.25 g/kg과 0.09 g/kg이 생성됨에 따라 에멘탈치즈가 숙성 중 PAB에 의한 propionic acid 발효특성을 확인하였다. 숙성 중 유리지방산 분석 결과 숙성 종료일(90일)에 에멘탈치즈의 총 유리지방산 함량은 6,628.2 mg/kg이었으며, 대조군의 총 유리지방산 함량은 1,605.4 mg/kg으로서 에멘탈치즈에 사용된 PAB가 높은 지방분해력을 보였다. 또한 에멘탈치즈에서 유리된 지방산의 조성은 숙성 중 LCFFA(C14:0-C18:2)가 높은 비율을 차지 하였으며, 이 중 palmitate(C16:0), stearate(C18:0) 및 oleate(C18:1)가 주요 지방산이었다. The objective of this study was to characterize the lactate metabolism and lipolysis in Emmental cheese made of Korean raw milk throughout the ripening periods; 14 d at <TEX>$10^{\circ}C$</TEX>, 42 d at <TEX>$23^{\circ}C$</TEX>, and 30 d at <TEX>$4^{\circ}C$</TEX>. Emmental cheese was made using a commercial starter culture with propionic acid bacteria (PAB) and without PAB as a control on the pilot plant scale. Changes in the contents of five organic acids (citric, lactic, formic, acetic, and propionic acid) and individual free fatty acids (FFAs) were measured using HPLC/PDA and GC/FID. As a result of propionic fermentation by PAB, the concentration of acetic acid and propionic acid increased up to 1.5 and 6.1 g/kg, respectively and the most dramatic increased occurred when incubated in the hot room (<TEX>$23^{\circ}C$</TEX>). Lactic, citric, and formic acid contents were 2.6, 2.5 and 0.8 g/kg at the end of ripening, respectively. As a result of lipolysis, the amount of total FFAs was 6,628.2 mg/kg. Compared to the control, levels of individual FFAs from butyric (C6:0) to linoleic (C18:2) acids increased significantly (p<0.05) during the ripening period. Especially, 65.1% of total FFAs was released in the <TEX>$23^{\circ}C$</TEX> room and the most abundant FFAs were palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and oleic acid (C18:1). These results demonstrated that the lipolysis of Emmental cheese was strongly affected by bacterial lipase from PAB.
