Abstract

This study was conducted to develop low-salinity Kimchi with acetic acid, starters and fruits added for health and taste. The quality characteristics of the developed Kimchi by storage period and salt concentrations were investigated herein. The effects of salinity and fermentation temperature ($0^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$) on the quality characteristics of low-salinity Kimchi were investigated through physicochemical and microbiological analysis. The sensory characteristics are shown in the results below. The pH and acidity were quickly changed by higher temperature over longer storage periods, with gradual decrease in the pH accompanied with an increase in acidity. The microbiological analysis revealed increase in the total cell number regardless of the concentration and strain added during the storage period. Finally, test of the overall acceptability with regard to sensory characteristics according to the different strain sets in low-salinity Kimchi showed the average score for smell, salty taste and overall acceptability were highest in the hetero-fermentation strain group.

본 연구에서는 김치의 소금 함량을 낮추기 위해 유기산과 젖산 그리고 종균을 첨가하고 과일을 첨가하여 김치의 저염화와 동시에 미각증진 효과를 가져올 수 있는 저염김치를 개발하였다. 그리고 소금 농도와 발효온도를 달리하였을 때 저염김치의 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 저염김치에 대한 이화학분석, 미생물학 분석, 그리고 관능적 특성에 대한 분석을 하였다. 저염김치의 pH 및 산도 변화는 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 온도가 높을수록 변화가 빠르게 나타났고, pH는 점차 감소하였으며, 산도는 증가하였는데, 특히 소금 농도가 낮을수록 pH가 낮았고, 산도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 저염김치의 염도 변화는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 작은 변화를 나타내었으나, 유의성 있는 증감을 나타내지 않았다. 환원당의 경우, 모든 처리구에서 비슷한 비율로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 조직강도의 경우 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 종균 첨가 여부 및 종류에 따라서 차이가 났음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 같은 소금 농도에서 저장온도에 따른 조직감 차이는 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 저염김치의 미생물 결과 총균수의 경우, 저장기간 동안 농도와 균 첨가와 관계없이 총균이 증식함을 알 수 있었다. 저염김치의 관능평가 결과, 냄새, 짠맛과 전반적인 기호도에서 이형발효 종균을 첨가한 김치의 관능결과가 모두 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 종균과 유기산을 첨가하여 소금 함량을 낮춘 저염김치를 개발하였고, 저장온도에 따라 발효하는 동안 이화학, 미생물 그리고 관능적인 변화를 통해 적숙기를 파악하였다. 이 연구는 건강한 일반인, 당뇨와 고혈압 질환이 있는 환자들의 식이요법에 도움이 될 것이다.
