본 연구는 반응표면분석법을 이용하여 개발된 상황버섯 침지발아현미 머핀의 식품학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 일반성분, 전분 가수분해율, 유리아미노산 조성, 구성아미노산조성, 단백질 소화율, 단백질 효율비 및 이화학적, 기계적, 관능적 특성을 비교분석하고, 기능성을 알아보기 위하여 총 폴리페놀 함량, DPPH radical 소거능, SOD 유사활성, 아질산 소거능, xanthine oxidase 저해능을 측정하였다. 최적화 머핀은 대조구 머핀에 비해 조단백질, 조지방, 조섬유, 조회분의 함량이 높게 나타났고, 총 당류는 유사한 수준이었다. 총 유리아미노산은 대조구 머핀 330.913 ㎎/100 g, 최적화머핀 270.992 ㎎/100 g이었고, 총 구성아미노산은 대조구머핀 8.02 g/100 g solid(96.61 g/16 g N), 최적화 머핀은 7.15g/100 g solid(106.51 g/16 g N)이었다. 전분 가수분해율은 대조구 머핀, 단백질 소화율과 단백질 효율비는 최적화 머핀이 높게 나타났다. 머핀의 중량은 최적화 머핀(p<0.01), 높이(p<0.01)와 pH(p<0.001)는 대조구 머핀이 높게 나타났다. 경도(p<0.05)와 씹힘성(p<0.05)은 최적화 머핀, 응집성(p<0.01)은 대조구 머핀이 높게 나타났으나 부착성, 탄력성, 검성은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 향(p<0.05)과 맛(p<0.01)은 최적화 머핀이, 색(p<0.05)은 대조구 머핀이 높게 나타났으나 외관, 조직감, 전반적인 기호도는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 머핀의 항산화 활성 측정결과 아질산염 소거능은 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, 총 폴리페놀 함량(p<0.01), DPPH radical 소거능(p<0.01), SOD 유사활성(p<0.05)은 최적화 머핀이 높게 나타났다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the qualities of optimized muffins with germinated brown rice soaked in mycelial culture broth of Phellinuslinteus (GBRP) using response surface methodology. Firstly, general compositions of optimized muffins with GBRP were higher than that of control and total sugar contents were similar. However, the total free amino acid and constitutional amino acid contents except for GABA were lower than those of control. Starch hydrolysis in control was higher than in optimized muffins with GBRP, whereas protein digestibility and protein efficiency ratio were not. The weights of optimized muffins with GBRP were higher than that of control (p<0.01), whereas height (p<0.01) and pH (p<0.001) were similar. The hardness (p<0.05) and chewiness (p<0.05) of optimized muffins with GBRP were higher compared to control; adhesiveness, springiness, and gumminess were similar, but cohesiveness (p<0.01) was not. The flavor (p<0.05) and taste (p<0.01) of optimized muffins with GBRP were higher than those of control; appearance, texture and overall acceptability were similar, but color (p<0.05) was not. The total polyphenol contents (p<0.01), DPPH radical scavenging activity (p<0.01), and superoxide dismutase-like activity (p<0.05) of optimized muffins with GBRP were higher than those of control, but nitrite scavenging activity was similar.
