초록
참깨를 100, 200, $300^{\circ}C$에서 각각 30, 60, 90, 120분 동안 볶은 다음 짜낸 참기름의 수율과 갈색침전물의 생성량을 조사한 결과, $200^{\circ}C$에서 90분간 볶은 경우가 기름의 수율이 높고 갈색침전물함량이 낮았다. 관능검사에의한 참기름의 향과 맛을 평가하였을 때도 $200^{\circ}C$에서 90분간 처리구가 가장 좋게 나타났으며, 가장 많은 수의(31 화합물) 휘발성향기성분이 분리, 동정되었다. 이 시료에는 다른 처리구에 비해 furfurals(달콤한 사탕냄새)과 pyrazines(고소한 냄새)의 함량이 높은 반면, 기름의 산화취를 내는 화합물인 aldehydes$(C5{\sim}C10)$와 ketones의 함량이 낮았다. 따라서 향기와 냄새 좋은 참기름을 얻기 위해서는 참깨를 $200^{\circ}C$에서 90분간 볶는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.
Sesame seeds were roasted for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at different temperatures (100, 200, and $300^{\circ}C$) and extracted to investigate an adequate condition for producing the high quality sesame oil. Sesame seeds roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min gave the high yield of oil. The oil contained the low content of brownish-black precipitates and exhibited an excellent organoleptic quality when judged by descriptive sensory analysis. Thirty one volatile flavor compounds, which are the largest number of volatiles among the oil samples prepared, were identified from the oil sample. The oil contained relatively high concentrations of furfurals (sweet candy-like flavor) and pyrazines (roasted-like flavor), that are considered as good contributors to sesame seed oil flavor, and low concentations of aldehydes $(C5{\sim}C10)$ and ketones, which are considerd as bad contributors (oxidized fat-like and painty-like flavors). These results suggest that the roasting condition of $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was the best for the oil production in terms of the overall aroma and taste quality under the test conditions (Received July 13, 1993; accepted November 4, 1993).
