쑥 첨가방법이 유화형 소시지의 냉장 저장 중 항산화, 총미생물수 및 아질산염 소거에 미치는 영향

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant effects, total plate count (TPC), and residual nitrite content of emulsified sausage with added mugwort during cold storage. The sausages were of five types: nothing added (control), mugwort powder added (T1), mugwort juice added (T2), mugwort ethanol extract added (T3), and mugwort hot water extract added (T4). Each sausage type was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of five storage periods: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 wk. As storage time increased, the presence of mugwort resulted in decreased pH, residual nitrite content, and meat color (CIE L* and b*) and increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and TPC values. Values for pH, TBARS, residual nitrite, and TPC decreased significantly after adding mugwort compared with the control (p
