Studies on the Sensory Characteristics of traditional Korean Cookies, Hankwa

한과류의 관능적 품질특성에 관한 연구

The sensory quality characteristics of 5 different types of traditional Korean cookies, i.e. Yackwa, Gangjung, Sanja, Dasik and Yutgangjung were investigated. A total of 77 questionnaires were collected and over 90 different terms describing the sensory characteristics of Hankwa were appeared, among which 58 terms were explained in Korean Dictionary. The important quality characteristic of Korean cookies were identified from the frequency of the appearance of sensory describing terms. The cookies were stored at room temperature for 10 days in various relative humidity of $0{\sim}68%$, and the changes in the quality characteristics were examined organolleptically by scalar scoring test. The changes in overall acceptance were evaluated by hedonic test. The results were shown by quantitative descriptive analysis(QDA) diagram The QDA diagram could visualize the effects of storage relative humidity on the sensory quality profile of the cookies.

한과류의 관능적 품질특성을 조사하기 위하여 약과, 세반강정, 산자, 송화다식, 들깨엿강정에 대한 품질표현용어를 77명의 설문자를 대상으로 조사하였으며 이 결과 90여종의 표현용어를 수집하였다. 이들 용어중 58종의 표현용어는 국어대사전에 수록되어 있었으며 한과의 종류별 주요품질요소를 표현빈도수에 근거하여 결정하였다. 한과류를 실온에서 10일간 상대습도 $0{\sim}68%$ 범위에서 저장하였을 때 주요품질요소의 변화를 관능검사로 평가하였다. 저장상대습도의 변화에 따른 한과류 종류별 주요 관능적 품질요소의 변화 양상을 정량적 묘사 분석법으로 도해함으로서 일목요연하게 표시할 수 있었다.
