Abstract

This study was conducted to identify quality indicators of the freshness of chicken eggs circulating in domestic markets. We first stored freshly-laid eggs at temperatures of 0, 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$, investigated their weight-loss rate, specific gravity, color, york index, albumen index, Haugh unit (HU), pH, and sensory evaluation, and finally analyzed the correlation between each quality characteristic and the sensory preference. At all the storage temperatures, the quality characteristics of the weight-loss rate, specific gravity, yolk index, albumen index, and HU showed significant correlations (p<0.05) with the preference. In particular, the temperature-dependent correlation between the quality characteristics and the sensory preference was significantly higher with increasing storage temperatures and weight-loss rates (r = -0.78; r = -0.93; r = -0.95; and r = -0.99), albumen index (r = 0.66; r = 0.89; r = 0.89; and r = 0.93), and HU values (r = 0.64; r = 0.92; r = 0.96; and r = 0.98) at 0, 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively (p<0.01). The Color and pH examinations yielded disparate results, and further research is needed to determine the methods of using the characteristics as quality indicators. We believe that the changes in the weight-loss rate, specific gravity, yolk index, albumen index, and HU are adequate quality indicators of the freshness of egg in circulation.

본 연구는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 계란의 유통 중 신선도를 예측하기 위하여 적정 품질지표를 선정하고자 수행되었다. 산란 직후 0, 10, 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 중량감모율, 비중, 색도, 난황계수, 난백계수, Haugh unit(HU), pH 및 관능특성 변화를 조사한 후 각 품질특성과 관능적 기호도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 저장온도에 따른 중량감모율, 비중, 난황계수, 난백계수 및 HU와 기호도와의 상관관계는 모든 온도 조건에서 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 특히 중량감모율과 기호도와의 상관관계는 0, 10, 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$에서 각각 r = -0.78, r = -0.93, r = -0.95 및 r = -0.99로 난백계수와 기호도와의 상관관계는 r = 0.66, r = 0.89, r = 0.89 및 r = 0.93으로 그리고 HU와 기호도와의 상관계수는 r = 0.64, r = 0.92, r = 0.96 및 r = 0.98로 유의적으로 온도가 높을수록 높은 상관계수를 보였다(p<0.01). 반면에 색도와 pH는 각기 상이한 결과를 나타내어 품질평가 자료로 이용하기에는 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 모든 저장온도에서 관능적 기호도와 높은 상관관계를 나타낸 중량감모율, 비중, 난황계수, 난백계수 및 HU의 변화를 계란의 유통 중 신선도 예측을 위한 품질지표로 선정하여 적용하는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단되었다.
