This study was carried out to determine the optimum temperature of the jicama pickle solution by evaluating physicochemical and sensory characteristics at various temperatures. The soaking solution of the jicama pickle was prepared at different temperatures (95, 75, 50, and 25℃). During storage, the titratable acidity, Brix, and the salinity of the jicama pickles increased, and these values increased with increasing temperature of the soaking solution. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the lower the L and b values. In all samples, the hardness increased rapidly until the 5th day of storage, and then gradually decreased. During storage, the jicama pickles showed a high tendency to harden at soaking solution temperatures of 75 and 95℃. Sensory evaluation indicated that the taste, flavor, crispness, and overall preference of the jicama pickle were higher at a soaking solution temperature of 75℃ and above. The higher the temperature of the soaking solution, the higher the acceptability. Based on these results, we conclude that soaking solution temperature of 75°¦95℃ in the manufacture of jicama pickles had a positive effect on the reduction in tissue softening and the sensory properties of the jicama pickle.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the inhibitory effect of jicama extract on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, ${\alpha}$-amylase activity, and postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Jicama extract showed prominent inhibitory effects against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. The $IC_{50}$ values of jicama extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were $0.083{\pm}0.004$ and $0.091{\pm}0.017mg/mL$, respectively. The increase in postprandial blood glucose levels was more significantly suppressed in the jicama extract-administered group than in the control group of both STZ-induced diabetic and normal mice. Blood glucose levels of the control group increased to $383.75{\pm}11.54$ and $402.50{\pm}15.32mg/dL$ at 30 and 60 min after a meal and decreased to $349.67{\pm}11.62mg/dL$ at 120 min. However, postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly decreased, when diabetic mice were fed with jicama extract ($342.00{\pm}15.73$, $367.00{\pm}13.00$, and $329.67{\pm}12.43mg/dL$ at 30, 60, and 120 min, respectively). Furthermore, the area under the curve was significantly decreased with jicama extract administration in diabetic mice (P<0.05). Therefore, these results indicate that jicama extract may help decrease postprandial blood glucose level by inhibiting ${\alpha}$-glucosidase.

본 연구에서는 히카마의 식품성분들을 분석하고 건조방법에 따른 특성들을 비교하여 식품 가공시 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 히카마의 수분함량은 81.81%이었으며, 열풍건조물과 동결건조물의 수분함량은 $13.26{\pm}0.26$, $11.34{\pm}0.19%$ 이었다. 수분을 제외한 고형분의 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 탄수화물은 열풍건조물에서 $2.85{\pm}0.27$, $0.79{\pm}0.08$, $7.93{\pm}0.52$, $88.44{\pm}0.63%$ 이었으며, 동결건조물에서 $3.93{\pm}0.65$, $0.83{\pm}0.02$, $7.92{\pm}0.33$, $87.32{\pm}0.36%$ 이었다. 열풍건조물과 동결건조물의 색도에서는 명도(L값) 는 $88.01{\pm}0.67$와 $92.86{\pm}0.11$으로 동결건조물이 더 높았으며, 적색도(a값), 황색도(b값)는 각각 $0.43{\pm}0.11$와$-0.67{\pm}0.11$, $11.96{\pm}1.50$와 $3.21{\pm}0.31$으로 열풍건조물이 더 높았다. 건조방법에 따른 갈변을 살펴본 결과 열풍건조물이 $0.107{\pm}0.004$, 동결건조물이 $0.029{\pm}0.002$으로 열에 의한 갈변이 나타났다. 총당 측정은 열풍건조물이 $46.49{\pm}3.00mg/g$, 동결건조물이 $45.11{\pm}3.24mg/g$으로 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 아밀로오스의 경우는 열풍건물이 $5.66{\pm}0.21%$, 동결건조물이 $6.63{\pm}0.15%$으로 차이를 보였다. DPPH free radical 소거능은 열풍건조물과 동결건조물 시료 1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL 0.1 mg/mL에서 각각 19.74, 17.61, 18.23%와 17.18, 17.54, 15.88%로 열풍건조물에서 높게 측정되었으나, 아스코르빈산과 비교하였을 때 낮은 수준을 보였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the noodle added with Pachyrhizus erosus powder. Total contents of carbohydrates, crude protein, crude lipid, ash, and total dietary fiber were 87.14%, 3.14%, 0.81%, 7.82%, and 49.12%, respectively. The water-binding capacity was significantly increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. When the volume of the noodles was measured after cooking, there was no difference between the control and Pachyrhizus erosus powder groups. The texture characteristics of hardness increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. As a result of the sensory test, the 1.5% Pachyrhizus erosus powder noodles showed the highest scores for all items including appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. The bacterial counts of noodle decreased with greater Pachyrhizus erosus powder content on the third days. It is considered that research on antimicrobial activity should proceed in the future. As a result, it was finally suggested that optimum level of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder in the product was 1.5% level.
