김치에 첨가되는 소금, 고추, 젓갈 등 재료의 종류와 첨가량, 숙성 기간을 달리한 김치를 제조하여 이화학적 성질과 관능검사를 실시하였다. 김치의 PH는 제조당일에는 건고추군의 김치가 다른군 김치보다 높게 나타났고, 생갈은 고추군과 건고추군의 새우젓군 김치가 높게 나타났다. 숙성 3일은 모든 김치의PH가 금격히 감소하였고, 숙성 기간이 길어지면서 점차 감소하였다. 김치의염도는 양념 조건에 관계 없이 숙성9일까지 약감 감소하는 정도였고, 숙성은 염도의 변화에 양향을 주지 않았다. 김치의 적정산도는 양념 조건에 따라 약간의 차이를 보여 제조 당일은 혼합고추군, 멸치액젓군 김치가 다른 김치보다 현저하게 높았고, 숙설 적기인 5일에는 고추의 종류에 관계 없이 새우적순 김치가 더 높은 값을 나타냈다. 김치의 아스코르브산의 변화는 모든 김치에서 숙성초기와 숙성적기 이후에 급격한 감소를 보였다. 관능검사 결과를 종합적으로 비교해보면 외관과 색은 건갈은 고추군 김치가 낮게 나타났고, 신맛은 고추의 종류에 상관없이 젓갈군에서 강하게 평가되었으며 탄산미 또한 젓갈군이 높게 평가받았고 특히 멸치 젓군이 새우젓군보다 약간 높았다. 짠맛은 혼합젓갈군이 가장 강했다. 조직감은 생갈은 고추군과 멸치액적군 김치가 가장 좋았고 건갈은 고추군 김치가 낮게 나타났고 생갈은고추군의 대조군 김치와 혼합고추군의 새우젓군 김치가 강하게 나타났다. 종합적인 맛은 생갈은 고추군, 혼합고추군, 건갈은 고추군 순서이었으며 젓갈군 김치가 대조군 김치보다 월등히 높게 나타났으나 젓갈의 종류에는 크게 영향 받지 않았다.

This study was conducted to compare the quality and sensory characteristics of commercial kimchi containing different sodium contents. The salinity at day 1 post-manufacture in regular kimchi was 1.99%, while it was 1.56% in lowsodium kimchi, thus showing a 21.6% reduction in sodium content. The pH of low-sodium kimchi was much lower than that of regular kimchi and the pH was dramatically decreased in both samples after 5 days of storage. The total acidity of low-sodium kimchi was higher than that of the regular kimchi, and increased during the storage period. The number of lactic acid bacteria was maximum at day 5 but slightly decreased after 10 days of storage. The sensory evaluation panels preferred low-sodium kimchi and realized that the saltiness of low-sodium kimchi was less than that of the regular kind. Based on these results, the quality characteristics of low-sodium kimchi were competitive to those of regular kimchi.

Changes in food components of oyster mushroom Kimchi were investigated during storage at 20$^{\circ}C$. The pH of raw oyster mushroom Kimchi (ROMK) was higher than that of Chinese cabbage Kimchi (control) at initial stage, but it was lower than that of control after 1 day of storage. pH of blanched oyster mushroom Kimchi (BOMK) was slightly higher than that of controls The titratable acidity of oyster mushroom Kimchi was in inverse state to the pH. Amino acid nitrogen content of Kimchi tended to increase during storage, the content of ROMK was higher than that of control, the content of BOMK was not different from that of control. The reducing sugar content of Kimchi decreased significantly during storage, the content of ROMK was higher than that of controls the content of BOMK was slightly lower. The bacterial number of control increased rapidly at 2 days fermantation and reached plateau afterward. The number of ROMK tended to he alike that of control during storages the number of BOMK was fewer than that of control. On the taste panel of Kimchi after 1 day of storages ROMK obtained higher score than BOMK but the score was lower than control.

우육 지방질의 산화에 대한 김치의 항산화성과 발효기간이 다른 김치의 항산화 관련성분의 변화를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 익힌 마쇄우육(CGM)에 발효기간이 다른 김치를 조합한 모델 시스템을 $4^{\circ}C에서$ 4주간 저장하면서 산화 양상을 살펴본 결과 가열우육의 지방질 산화에 대한 김치의 항산화성은 발효기간에 따라 달랐다. 특히 발효당일의 김치나 발효 16일의 김치 보다 7일간 발효된 김치의 항산화성이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 발효진행에 다른 김치의 항산화성에서도 적당히 발효된 발효 7일 전후의 김치들에서 항산화성이 높았다. 김치발효에 따른 항산화 관련 성분의 변화를 살펴 본 결과, ascorbic acid는 담금 직후 10mg%이었으나 7일간 발효한 김치는 19.43mg%로 높았다가 그 이후에는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. $\beta-caro-tene은$ 담금 직후 0.315mg%이었으나 발효가 진행됨에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 총 phenolic compounds는 담금 직후나 과숙 김치에서 보다 7일간 발효한 김치에서 오히려 높았다. 따라서 발효가 진행됨에 따라 김치의 항산화 작용에 기여하는 항산화 관련성분은 ascorbic acid, chlorophylls 및 phenolic compounds 등인 것으로 생각된다.

To investigate the sanitary-quality level of commercial kimchi in South Korea, the pH, acidity, and microbial-flora changes in the kimchi were determined. Samples of kimchi produced by three different manufacturers (a small grocery store, a small/medium-sized enterprise, and a large food company) were collected. Freshly made kimchi was purchased and fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The pH of the commercial kimchi on the purchased day was approximately pH 5.8, and that on the $10^{th}$ day of fermentation was ${\simeq}pH$ 4.1. The kimchi purchased from a large company showed a more rapid decline in pH level during fermentation. The saltiness of the kimchi purchased from a medium-sized company was slightly higher than those of the other commercial kimchi samples. The saccharinity index of the kimchi produced by a small grocery store was higher than those of the other samples, and its value deviation was also higher than those of the other commercial kimchi samples. A higher total viable-cell count and a higher lactic-acid bacteria (LAB) count were detected in the kimchi from the large food company at the beginning of fermentation compared to the samples of the two other kimchi manufacturers. The highest cell numbers of gram-positive bacteria (except LAB) and coliform bacteria were detected from the small-grocery-store kimchi, but the coliform bacteria count gradually decreased during fermentation although such bacteria were still detected until the $10^{th}$ day of fermentation. In contrast, coliform bacteria were not detected in the samples from the medium-sized and large food companies. Yeast, which is detected in over-ripened kimchi, was detected in the unfermented kimchi from the small grocery store, which had a below-0.36% acidity level. The gram-positive bacteria (except LAB) that were detected in all the tested commercial kimchi samples were determined to be Bacillus spp., and the gram-negative bacteria were determined to be Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Sphingomonase spp., and Strenophomonas spp. The proportions of all the aforementioned bacteria in the kimchi samples, however, were different depending on the samples that were taken. These results indicate that a more sanitary kimchi production process and a more systematic kimchi production manual should be developed to industrialize and globalize kimchi.

The effect of retarding the fermentation of Kimchi by the extract of leek(Allium tuberosum) were tested by measuring the changes in pH, acidity and total cell number as well as number of microorganisms involved in Kimchi fermentation such as Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Streptococcus and yeasts. The changes of pH and acidity of Kimchi stored at $25^{\circ}C$ indicated that the shelf-life of Kimchi with leek extract was retarded by 1.5 days compared with Kimchi without leek extract. Growth of Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and yeasts in Kimchi were remarkably inhibited by adding the leek extract at the initial and the 1st day of fermentation. This result suggested the methanol extract of leek can be sucessfully used for the extension of shelf-life of Kimchi.
