Sulfite 염에 의한 저염 명란젓의 보존 효과

The Effects of Sulfite Salts on the Shelf-life of Low-salted Myungranjeot (Soused Roe of Alaska Pollack)

저염 명란젓에 sulfite 염을 첨가하여 숙성 중에 일어나는 여러 가지 화학적 및 미생물 변화를 측정하여 저염 젓갈의 shelf-life에 미치는 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Bisulfite 및 metasulfite 명란젓은 숙성초기에 pH가 급격하게 감소하였다가 그 후 서서히 감소하였으며 젖산 생성량도 증가하였다. 숙성이 진행됨에 따라 아미노태 질소량은 감소 경향을 나타내었으며 metasulfite 명란젓이 가장 높은 생성량을 나타내었다. Bisulfite와 metasulfite의 첨가는 숙성 후기의 VBN 및 TMA 생성 억제에 효과적이었으며, 숙성 초기의 TBA 생성을 억제하였다. Bisulfite 및 metasulfite는 fungi를 포함한 미생물의 성장을 현저하게 저해하였다. Sulfite 염 첨가시의 추정되는 shelf-life는 대조군, sulfate, bisulfite및 metasulfite인 경우 각각 16, 14, 20 및 24일이었다.

One of the biggest Problems in making jeotkal is the reduction of its shelf-life when lowering the salt content from 20-30% to below 10%. Therefore, in order to extend the shelf-life of the low-salted jeotkal, prior to setting the minimum allowance value of sulfiting agents as food additives for fermented fish products, the preservative effects of sulfite salts on the low-salted myungranjeot (soused roe of Alaska pollack) were studied through various chemical and microbial analyses. The pHs of the low-salted Myungranjeot treated with bisulfite and metasulfite salts rapidly decreased in the biginning of fermentation, while the lactic acid contents increased constantly. Sodium bisulfite and metasulfite enhanced the production of $NH_2-N$ after 10 day-fermentation, whereas they inhibited the production of VBN, TMA and TBA, and the growth of microorganisms including fungi during fermentation. The estimated shelf-lives of low-salted myungranjeot treated with control, sodium sulfate, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metasulfite on the basis of VBN 50 mg% were about 16, 14, 20 and 24 days, respectively.
