Abstract

This study was conducted to inhibit the browning of fresh-cut lotus roots by blanching in a Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract solution (0.5%). Lotus roots were cut to 1 cm using a knife. The fresh-cut lotus roots were blanched at $50^{\circ}C$ in distilled water (DW, Cont), Glycyrrhiza glabra L. extract solution (GE), and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract solution (AE). After treatment, they were packaged with 0.04 mm PE bags and were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. Their color, hardness, DPPH radical scavenging activity, pH, and total soluble solids were then investigated. During storage, the samples treated with GE and AE had high $L^*$ values. They were also found to have higher values compared to the control group in the analysis of the browning index. No difference was found, however, in the hardness analysis. With regard to the DPPH radical scavenging activity, the sample treated with Glycyrrhiza glabra L. extract had the highest activity. In the pH analysis, all the groups were found to have a decrease tendency for all the storage periods. The total soluble solids decreased in the control group and slightly increased in the AE and GE groups. These results show that blanching in Glycyrrhiza glabra L. or Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract is effective for preventing the browning of fresh-cut lotus roots.

신선편이 연근의 갈변을 저해하기 위해 감초, 황기 추출물로 블랜칭 처리하여 색도, 경도, DPPH radical 소거능, pH 및 가용성 고형분 함량을 분석하였다. 갈변의 지표인 색도 $50^{\circ}C$ 값의 결과, 감초 또는 황기 추출물을 처리한 구에서 대조구보다 높게 나타났다. 경도의 경우 모든 구에서 유의적 차이가 발견되지 않았으며, DPPH radical 소거능은 모든 구에서 저장 기간에 따라 감소하였으나 감초 추출물 처리구의 활성이 가장 높게 유지되었다. pH는 저장 기간에 따라 모든 구에서 감소하였으나 대조구가 가장 서서히 감소하였으며, 가용성 고형분 함량의 경우 저장 기간이 증가할수록 처리구의 함량은 증가하고 대조구는 그 수준을 유지하였으며 처리구 사이의 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 감초와 황기 열수 추출물의 블랜칭 처리가 신선편이 연근의 품질 열화에는 영향을 주지 않으면서 갈변을 효과적으로 억제함을 확인할 수 있었다.
