Abstract

Quality factors which characterize 11 kinds of farm-manufactured apple Jangachi and commercial Jangachi, have been studied in order to provide a guideline to improve the quality and marketing strategy of farm-manufactured pickled apples. Moisture content ranged from 74% to 84% and 81% to 91% in Doenjang Jangachi and vinegar Jangachi, respectively; 38% to 64% in Kochujang Jangachi; 57% to 64% in radish Kochujang Jangachi. Moisture content was 89% in Doenjang Jangachi. Even though moisture content of apple Kochujang Jangachi indicated 48% which is lower than that of radish Jangachi, it was higher than that of a persimmon pickled in Kochujang (38%) and that of Japanese apricot Jangachi (49%). pH and titratable acidity, two indicators used to determine the appropriate ripening period of Jangachi, were pH 3.4~5.6, 0.03~0.14%, respectively. The pH ranged from 5.2 to 5.6 in radish Jangachi; 3.4 to 4.1 in Cucumber Jangachi. pH of persimmon Jangachi, Japanese apricot Jangachi and apple Jangachi showed 4.1, 3.5 and 4.1, respectively. Compared with the pH of traditional Jangachi (3.03~5.36), pH of all of the above Jangachi fall into an appropriate range. The brix of apple Jangachi (30%) was 12% to 18% higher than that of Kochujang radish Jangachi, but it was relatively lower than that of persimmon Jangachi (39%) and that of Japanese apricot Jangachi (49%). Salinity of Jangachi varied depending on which marinating material was used. Salinity in the descending order according to each marinating material demonstrated Kanjang (6% to 13%), Doenjang (7%), Kochujang (3% to 4%). Salinity of apple Jangachi was 3.28% which was relatively lower than that of commercial Jangachi which used either Kanjang or Doenjang as its marinating material. Chromaticity test shows that the brightness value of apple Jangachi (54.70) was similar to that of cucumber Jangachi (50.86, 56.02); the redness value and yellowness of apple Jangachi (16.21 and 26.78) were higher than the redness value (7.27 to 11.23) and the yellowness value (10.62 to 14.69) of radish Kochujang Jangachi. Sensory Characteristics value of apple Jangachi, along with radish and cucumber Jangachi in its color, odor and taste (7.00, 7.50, 7.00, respectively) placed high on the list implying higher preference. However, overall preference value of apple Jangachi was 6.83 which was lower than that of Japanese apricot Jangachi or that of radish Jangachi. The result can be explained by the tendency of people preferring crispy Jangachi and points out that the texture of apple Jangachi needs to be improved to gain popularity. Furthermore, for increased sales of apple Jangachi as a niche product, more rigorous market testing is required.

농가생산 사과장아찌의 품질개선을 위한 기초 자료로 제공하고자 농가생산 사과 장아찌와 시판 장아찌 11종을 대상으로 품질인자에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 장아찌의 수분함량은 간장 및 식초 절임 장아찌가 각각 74~84%, 81~91%, 된장 절임 장아찌가 89% 그리고 고추장 절임 장아찌가 38~64%였다. 무 고추장 장아찌의 수분함량은 57~64%이었으며, 사과 고추장 장아찌는 48%로 무장아찌에 비해 낮았으나 고추장 절임을 한 감(38%)과 매실(39%)장아찌에 비해 다소 높았다. 장아찌의 적정 숙성기간을 나타내는 지표인 pH 및 적정산도는 각각 pH 3.4~5.6, 0.03~0.14%로 조사되었다. 무장아찌의 pH는 5.2~5.6 이었으며, 오이, 감, 매실, 사과장아찌의 pH는 각각 3.4~4.1, 4.1, 3.5, 4.1로 비슷하였다. 이는 전통장아찌(pH 3.03~5.36)와 비교하여도 적정한 범주에 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 사과장아찌의 당도는 30%로 고추장 무장아찌에 비해 12~18% 높았으나 감장아찌(39%)와 매실장아찌(49%)에 비해서는 다소 낮았다. 장아찌의 염도는 절임원에 따라 간장(6~13%), 된장(7%), 고추장(3~4%) 순으로 낮게 나타났다. 사과장아찌의 염도는 3.28로 간장 및 된장을 절임원으로 사용하여 상업적으로 생산된 제품에 비해 저염인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 색도 측정결과 사과장아찌의 명도(54.70)는 오이장아찌(50.86, 56.02)와 비슷하였으며, 적색도 및 황색도는 각각 16.21, 26.78로 무 고추장 장아찌의 적색도(7.27~11.23)와 황색도(10.62~14.69)에 비해 높았다. 관능적 특성은 무, 오이장아찌와 함께 색, 향, 맛 각각 7.00, 7.50, 7.00 점으로 기호도가 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 반면 전체적인 선호도는 6.83점으로 매실이나 무장아찌에 비해 점수가 낮았다. 전체적으로 아삭아삭한 씹힘성이 있는 장아찌를 선호하는 경향에 기인한 것으로 보이며 사과장아찌의 조직감을 개선할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.
