본 연구에서는 선식 제조 시 산양삼(10년산과 15년산) 분말을 각각 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% 첨가한 후 색도, pH, 관능적 특성(색, 향, 맛, 선호도, 순위), 항산화능(total polyphenol 함량과 DPPH radical scavenging 활성) 및 이화학적 성분(일반성분과 무기질함량) 등과 같은 품질특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 색도 측정결과 10년산과 15년산 산양삼 분말의 첨가량이 많아질수록 낮아졌는데, 15년산 산양삼 분말 0.6%가 첨가된 선식(15yrWS0.6)의 명도(L값)이 대조군과 비교하여 가장 낮게 나타났다. 적색도(a값)과 황색도(b값)의 경우도 명도와 마찬가지로 10년근, 15년근 산양삼 분말의 첨가 농도가 높아질수록 높게 나타났다. 그리고 pH의 경우도 10년근, 15년근 산양삼 분말의 첨가 농도가 높을수록 낮게 나타났다. 관능적 특성 평가에서 선식 제조 시 10년근과 15년근 산양삼 분말 첨가량이 증가할수록 색감, 향, 맛, 선호도가 전반적으로 낮게 나타났다. 항산화능의 경우 10년근과 15년근 산양삼 분말 0.6%가 첨가된 선식시료에서 각각 높게 나나났다. 전체적으로는 15년근 산양삼 분말 0.6%가 첨가된 선식(15yrWS0.6)의 total flavonoid함량이 가장 높게 나타났으며 DPPH radical 소거능 또한 15yrWS0.6 시료에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 10년근과 15년근 산양삼이 첨가된 선식 시료 중 항산화활성이 우수하고 관능평가가 가장 우수한 15yrWS0.4을 대조군과 비교 시 탄수화물, 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분 등과 같은 일반성분과 칼슘, 인, 나트륨, 칼륨 및 마그네슘과 같은 무기질 함량에는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해 제조된 15년근 산양삼이 0.4% 첨가된 선식(15yrWS0.4)은 항산화능 뿐 만 아니라 관능적 평가도 우수하여 아침식사를 거르기 쉬운 현대인들의 식사대용식으로 활용가치가 높을 것이다.
In this study, I investigated quality characteristics such as lightness, pH, sensory properties preference(color, flavor, taste, overall quality, and rank), antioxidant activity(DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents), and physicochemical component(principal components and minerals) of Sunsik which was added 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% of cultivated wild ginseng powder(10years cultivated and 15years cultivated) with. In the result of lightness measurements, L-value of samples were decreased depending on increasing the amounts of 10yrWGP(10years cultivated wild ginseng powder) and 15yrWGP(15years cultivated wild ginseng powder) added with, and then, that of Sunsik added with 0.6% 15yrWGP (15yrWS0.6) was shown the lowest one compared with control. A-value and b-value of both 10yrWS and 15yrWS were increased depending on increasing the amounts of 10yrWGP and 15yrWGP added with like as L-value of them. And pH of 10yrWS and 15yrWS were decreased depending on increasing amounts of 10yrWGP and 15yrWGP added with. In the result of sensory property evaluations, samples of Sunsik had a tendency to be rated more low for color, flavor, taste, and overall quality depending on increasing amounts of 10yrWGP and 15yrWGP added with generally. The samples of Sunsik added 0.6% of 10yrWGP and 15yrWGP with were measured as higher than others each for the antioxidant activity. Total polyphenol contents of 15yrWS0.6 were measured as the highest one in all the samples and DPPH radical scavenging activity of 15yrWS0.6 were measured as higher than any other samples as well. When 15yrWS0.4 which was the sample with high antioxidant activity and the highest preference among the samples of Sunsik added 10yrWGP and 15yrWGP with was compared with control, there was no significant difference between 15yrWS0.4 and control by the principal component contents and mineral contents such as carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, Ca, P, Na, K, Mg. In conclusion, 15yrWS0.4 which was prepared with 0.4% of 15yrWGP will be highly worth to be utilized as a substitute meal for modern people who can easily take breakfast skipping because it was evaluated not only as a sample with high antioxidant activity but with the highest sensory properties also.
