Abstract
The effects of dippin treatments using Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract (0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%) and calcium chloride (0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%) on the quality of peeled chestnuts were investigated. Following dipping treatment, peeled chestnuts were vacuum-packed using a 75-㎛ polyethylene PE and nylon film, and stored in a 0 ℃ incubator for six weeks. The dipping treatments of the peeled chestnuts successfully achieved browning inhibition. The browning degree following 2.0% calcium chloride treatment was the lowest at 0.68 OD. The color change (ΔE) of the peeled chestnuts was the highest (6.0) in the control, and the lowest (3.5) for the 1.0% and 2.0% calcium chloride-treated samples. G. uralensis extract and calcium chloride treatments did not impact weight, moisture loss rate, firmness, or the soluble solid content of the peeled chestnuts following storage. The decay rate was 12.0% in the control group, and 11.0%, 11.5%, and 11.0% for G. uralensis treatment at 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% calcium chloride treatment, respectively, and 13.0%, 9.5%, and 9.0% at 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% calcium chloride treatment, respectively. Sensory evaluation (palatability, off-odor) showed that a 2.0% G. uralensis extract treatment presented excellent results during the storage period. Texture and color indicated no differences as a result of the browning inhibition treatments. Therefore, when considered comprehensively, a 2.0% G. uralensis extract treatment was shown to be effective for maintaining the quality and providing browning inhibition of peeled chestnuts. This result isexpected to solve the problem of quality deterioration in the form of sour taste, which is a problem in chemical processing.
