Abstract

We investigated fermentation characteristics and the amount of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced, and the correlation between EPS and rheological properties in stirred yogurt fermented with Streptococcus thermophilus St-Body 1. The changes of pH and lactic acid concentrations of yogurt showed different patterns according to fermentation temperatures. About 20 to 40% of lactose was utilized during 6 hrs incubation. The higher number of lactic acid bacteria was obtained at 31℃ incubation temperature rather than other incubation temperatures. The higher amount of EPS was produced at 12 hr or 24 hr rather than other incubation period at the same fermentation temperatures. The viscosity continuously increased during the fermentation period, however the syneresis of yogurt was shown the lowest value at 37℃ for 30 hrs incubation. In physical properties, the hardness and adhesiveness increased continuously with decreasing cohesiveness and elasticity as incubation process was extended. The stirred yogurt fermented with S. thermophilus St-Body 1 at 37℃ for 24 hr resulted in the highest score at each sensory evaluation category.

본 연구에서는 EPS 생성 유산균인 S. thermophilus St-Body 1을 발효 온도 및 시간별로 EPS를 분리하여 발효 조건이 EPS 생성에 미치는 영향과 EPS 생성량이 stirred 요구르트의 점도, syneresis, 물성, 관능검사에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. pH와 유산 함량 변화는 온도에 따라 다른 경향을 보였으며, 발효 온도가 높을수록 pH 감소가 빠르게 진행되고, 6, 12시간에 많은 유산이 생성되었다. 유당 함량은 발효 6시간 동안에 20∼40%가 이용되었고, 유산균수는 31℃에서 발효한 요구르트가 상대적으로 유산균수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. S. thermophilus St-Body 1은 발효 온도가 낮을수록 더 많은 EPS를 생성하고, 발효 12시간과 24시간에 많은 EPS를 생성하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 점도는 발효 시간이 증가할수록 점도가 증가하였으며, syneresis는 37℃에서 30시간 발효한 stirred 요구르트가 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. 경도와 접착성은 발효가 진행될수록 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 점착성과 탄력성은 발효가 진행될수록 감소하였다. S. thermophilus St-Body 1로 발효한 요구르트의 관능검사 결과, 37℃, 24시간 발효한 요구르트가 풍미 6.25, 조직 4.25, 외관 3.50으로 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다.
