본 연구는 다시마 가공식품과 증간소재를 개발하기 위하여 다시마의 연화방법을 검토하였다. 그 결과 가열하면서 sodium triphospto를 0.3％첨가한 것이 연화에 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었으며 이 때 다시마의 유연성과 퍼짐성도 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 다시마의 블랜칭은 microwave를 사용하는 것이 연화에 좋았으며, 그 정도는 microwave>스팀>끓는 물 순이었다. 또한 블랜칭할 경우 sodium triphosphate를 0.3％ 첨가하면 연화에 시너지효과가 나타났다. 색깔의 변화는 p<0.05 수준에서 블랜칭 방법과 연화제 첨가량에 대한 유의성은 확인되었다.
This study was performed to investigate softening methods of raw sea tangle for development of sea tangle processing products and intermediate materials. In examination of various softening agents, it was revealed that 0.3％ sodium triphosphate was best effective on softening with heat treatment. Softerness and spreadability of sea tangle treated with sodium triphosphate and heat treatment were indicated to be better than the others. In blanching studies, microwave was extremely effective on softening and the effect was as follows: microwave>steaming>boiling water in softening order. In the case of adding 0.3％ sodium triphosphate in blanching treatment, there was synergy effectiveness on softening. The color change of treated sea tangle was significantly different at p<0.05 depending on blanching method and addition amount of the agent.
