옥수수기름의 탈취온도가 탈취유의 이화학적 항수, 지방산 조성 및 triglyceride 조성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 적정 탈취온도 조건을 확립하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. $240{sim}270^{circ}C$의 탈취온도에서 산값은 $240^{circ}C$ 처리군에서 0,07로 가장 낮았고, $250{sim}270^{circ}C$에서는 $0.08{sim}0.09$의 범위를 나타내었다. Lovibond total color는 $255^{circ}C$에서 가장 낮은 24였으며, 과산화물값은 $240{sim}270^{circ}C$ 전구간에서 0을 나타내었으나 $235^{circ}C$에서는 0.42로 과산화물이 완전 제거되지 않아 $240^{circ}C$이상의 탈취온도가 요망되었다. 한편, 탈취온도가 증가할수록 myristic, palmitic, stearic acid 등의 포화지방산 함량이 지속적으로 증가하였고, 특히 탈납유에서는 존재하지 않았던 arachidic acid함량이 급속한 증가 경향을 보였다. 탈취온도에 따라 TG조성도 변화를 보여 $250^{circ}C$ 이상 처리군에서는 $S_3$형 TG가 발견되는등 고온탈취는 탈취유의 이화학적 특성에 좋지 못한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of deodorizing temperature on physicochemical characteristics, fatty acid and triglyceride (TG) composition, and to estabilish the optimal deodorizing conditions in corn oil. Acid value (AV) of $240^{circ}C$ treating group was showed 0.065 as the lowest level, the AV range was $0.08{sim}0.09$ at $250{sim}270^{circ}C$. Lovibond total color was 24 as the lowest level, peroxide values (POV) were zero at $240{sim}270^{circ}C$ range. But POV was showed 0.42 meg/kg oil at $235^{circ}C$, according to the optimal deodorizing temperature for the complete removal of peroxides was required more than $240^{circ}C$. On the other hand, inclose of deodorizing temperature was conducted to the increase of saturated fatty acid content as myristic, palmitic, stearic and arachidic acid etc. Change of TG composition at treated group more than $250^{circ}C$ was reliable, $S_3$ type TG was appeared. As a result, high temperature deodorizing was induced the undesirable influence at the physicochemical properties in deodorized corn oil.
