Studios on Processing and Keeping Quality of Retort Pouched Foods (4) Preparation and Keeping Quality of Retort Pouched Seasoned Baby Clam

레토르트파우치 식품의 가공 및 품질안정성에 관한 연구 (4) 레토르트파우치 조미바지락의 제조 및 저장중의 품질안정성

For the purpose of obtaining basic data which can be applied to processing of retort pouched shell-fishes, retort pouched seasoned baby clam was prepared. After sand and mud were removed, and then steamed baby clams were shucked. Baby clam meats were seasoned with the mixed seasoning powder containing $3\%$ of sugar, $2.5\%$ of salt, $12\%$ of sorbitol, $0.5\%$ of monosodium glutamate and $10\%$ of smoke flavor, and then dried at $35-40^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. After dried, the meats were vacuum packed in plastic film bag (polyester/nylon/unoriented polyproylene; $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}m/50{\mu}m,\;15{\times}17cm$), and sterilized for 12 minutes in a hot water circulating sterilzer at $120^{\circ}C$, The factors such as pH, VBN, moisture content water activity, color value (L, a, b), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of products were determined during storage at room temperture ($20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$). The results showed that the product could be preserved in a good condition for 120 days at $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. Judging from the scores of sensory evaluation on flavor, the product added smoke flavor as seasoning was the most desirable.

수산물을 이용한 레토르트파우치 식품제조의 기초자료를 얻기 위해 우리 나라에서 많이 생산되는 바지락을 원료로 레토르트파우치 조미바지락의 가공조건을 검토하고 저장중 품질안정성에 대하여 실험하였다. 가공조건은 원료 바지락을 $3\%$ 식염수에서 11시간 토사를 배출시켜 증자 탈각한 후 설탕 $3\%$, sorbitol $12\%$, 식염 $2.5\%$, 글루탐산나트륨 $0.5\%$의 혼합조미료를 살포혼합하여 $5^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 조미한 다음 30분간 예비건조 ($35{\sim}40^{\circ}C$)하고 훈액처리($10\%$ Smoke EZ 훈액, 30초)하여 가볍게 건조한 다음($35{\sim}40^{\circ}C$, 2.5hr) 레토르트파우치필름(polyester/nylon/unoriented polypropylene : $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}m/50{\mu}m,\;15{\times}17cm$) 주머니에 충전하고, 진공포장하여 열수순환식레토르트르써 $120^{\circ}C$ 12분간 가열살균한 다음 냉각하는 것이 좋았다. Smoke EZ 훈액처리는 제품의 색조와 풍미를 향상시키는 효과가 있었으며 산패방지효과도 있었다. 그리고 제품은 실온에서 120일간 품질이 안정하게 유지되었다.
