Effects of the Types and Concentrations of Sugars on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Soy Milks during Storage

당의 종류와 농도가 두유의 저장 중 물리화학적 및 관능적 성질에 미치는 영향

This study was performed to examine the changes in pH, viscosity, emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, and sensory characteristics during 21 day storage of soy milks prepared by the addition of the different kinds(glucose, fructose, sucrose) and concentrations (5%, 7%, 10%) of sugars. The pH values of all sugar added samples and control were 7.19∼7.40, which belong to the range of good suspension stability. The viscosity values of all sugar added samples were higher than that of control, and those of 7% and 10％ fructose added groups and 5％ sucrose added group increased during storage. While the emulsion capacity values of all sugar added samples were significantly higher than that of control, those of 7％ sugar added groups were the highest. During storage, the emulsion capacity decreased rapidly during the first 7 days, but after then decreased gradually. The emulsion stability values of all sugar added samples were higher than that of control, especially those of all fructose added samples were the highest. The emulsion stability of all sugar added samples increased during the first 7 days, but after then decreased. Sensory evaluations, the scores of sweet taste, roasted nutty taste, color, overall quality of fructose added samples were the highest. According to the above results, the emulsion capacity of 7％ sugar added samples were the highest, and emulsion stability and all sensory characteristics of fructose added samples were the best. Therefore, it was thought to be the most desirable to prepare soy milks by the addition of 7％ fructose.
