품종별 저장 기간에 따른 저염 토마토 장아찌 품질 특성

Abstract

This study aimed to create a standardized recipe using three cultivars of tomatoes (Chal-tomato, Daejeo-tomato, Black- tomato) and select an appropriate tomato for producing tomato Jangajii through quality and sensory evaluation. With regard to the proximate composition of tomato Jangajii, moisture and ash contents of Chal-tomato were highest in the early stage of storage, whereas moisture, crude protein and ash contents of Black-tomato were highest in the final stage of storage. Daejeo- tomato showed minimal changes in pH, but showed the highest salt and sugar contents. L value increased with increasing storage time and then decreased thereafter (p<0.001). The a and b values decreased with increasing storage time and then increased thereafter (p<0.001). The reducing sugar content increased with increasing storage time and then decreased thereafter (p<0.001). With regard to Daejeo-tomato, hardness was the highest (p<0.001), and total microbial counts were lowest (p<0.001). Daejeo-tomato showed the lowest activities of PME as a softening enzyme and PG. For sensory properties, Daejeo-tomato showed a relatively high preference for all items except aroma. Based on the above results, Daejeo-tomato Jangajii showed superior quality characteristics and high preference in general among tomato Jangajii from all three cultivars of tomatoes. Therefore, Daejeo-tomato Jangajii is useful as low-sodium tomato Jangajii in light of quality characteristics and preference.
