Preparation and Characteristics of Whelk Internal Organ Jeotgal with the Addition of Fruit Juice

과즙 첨가에 의한 골뱅이 내장젓갈의 제조 및 특성

To utilize the by-products from whelk processing, whelk internal organ jeotgal was manufactured by adding pineapple and kiwifruit juices containing bromelain and actinidin, respectively. The protease activities of pineapple and kiwifruit juices were 52 and 248 unit/mL, respectively. 1 kg ground whelk internal organ was immersed to 12.5% salt concentration and then the 20, 50, or 100 mL of fruit juice were added in it. the quality of products fermented for up to 70 day at 1$0^{\circ}C$ was observed. Jeotgal wit pineapple juice showed lower pH and higher amino nitrogen content than with kiwifruit juice on 70 day of fermentation. the total nitrogen contents was the highest on 30 day of fermentation and stable thereafter. Although total numbers of microorganism were increased as fermentation progressed, there were no correlations among the juices or its adding amounts. It was thought that interactions between kinds of natural microflora and the proteases from fruit juices, and other constituents in jeotgal affected total nitrogen content of jeotgal and the growth rate of natural microorganisms. Of the all jeotgals in this study, no coliform was found It is suggested that the preparation of jeotgal with pineapple or kiwifruit juice is effective aspect of safety and quality.

골뱅이의 가공 부산물인 내장의 효율적인 이용을 위하여 단백질 가수분해효소인 bromelain을 함유하는 파인애플과 actinidin을 함유하는 참다래의 과즙 첨가하여 젓가을 제조하였다. 파인애플 과즙과 참다래 과즙은 각각 52unit/mL, 248 unit/mL의 단백질 가수분해 효소활성을 나타내었다. 마쇄한 골뱅이의 내장을 염농도 12.5%와 과즙 25, 50, 100 mL 첨가하여 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 숙성하였다. 파인애플 과즙을 첨가한 젓갈에서 참다래를 첨가한 경우보다 숙성 중 pH의 변화가 다소 많으며 아미노 질소가 많이 생성되었고 총질소함량과 총균수는 숙성기간이 연장도리수록 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있으나, 첨가한 과즙의 종류와 양에 따른 연관성은 발견하지 못하였다. 한편, 젓갈의 숙성 중의 안전성을 확인하기 위하여 측정한 대장균군 시험에서는 본 연구에서 제조된 모든 젓갈에서 음성으로 확인되어 위생적으로 적합한 것으로 판정되었다.
