Abstract

This study investigates the kimchi from Jangsu area (JSK) and its comparison with commercial kimchi (CMK). We conducted a sensory evaluation for the pH, titratable acidity, salinity, hunter's color values and mechanical characteristics of kimchi. The pH of JSK is significantly higher than CMK throughout the fermentation (p<0.001). At 15 days, JSK reached the stage of optimal maturity for pH 4.23~4.55 and CMK showed pH 3.96~4.00 as conditions after the optimal maturity (p<0.001). From the results of acidity analyses, CMK also showed higher acidity values than JSK (p<0.001), indicating that the rate of fermentation progress was faster in CMK. Salinity of JSK was a litter higher than CMK1 and CMK2 (p<0.001) and JSK indicated significantly higher L, a, b values during fermentation (p<0.001). Moreover, the textural values were significantly higher in JSK2 and JSK3 retaining hardness of the tissues. In the sensory assessment, the color, flavor, crispness, taste, and overall preferences were higher in JSK3 at 15 days and 30 days than CMK. Therefore, it seems necessary for recipe developments of kimchi with local characteristics in order to industrialize kimchi by using alpine crops at Jangsu area.
