Quality Characteristics of Snow Crab Cream Soup with Yam and Potato as a Thickening Agents

참마와 감자를 농후제로 사용한 홍게 크림수프의 품질 특성

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of snow crab cream soup in order to seek the possibility of using fresh yams and potatoes instead of roux as thickening agents. The highest crude lipid(p<.05) and moisture(p<.001) were examined for the snow crab cream soup with yams and with potatoes as thickening agents($S_1$),($S_2$). The highest pH levels of $S_2(5.75)$ for the snow crab cream soup with yams and with potatoes were 75% and 25%. respectively. The highest lightness of 71.51(L value) was found in the 100% potato as a thickening agent($S_5$)(p<.001). The redness(a value) and yellowness(b value) were increased by adding potatoes to the snow crab soup(a=p<.001), (b=p<.01). Viscosity was increased by potato contents, and highest for the snow crab cream soup($S_5$) (p<.001). In sensory evaluation, the highest sensory scores for flavor and texture(p<.001) of mean 5.11 and 5.05, respectively, were obtained from the snow crab cream soup with yams(75%) and with potatoes(25%)($S_4$). The highest overall acceptability of mean 5.11 was found in the snow crab cream soup with yams(50%) and with potatoes(50%) as thickening agents($S_3$)(p<.001).
