The viscosity of salt solution and Kimchi juice and salt penetration and hardness of Chinese cabbage were investigated during brining and fermentation at $4-35^{\circ}C$. The rate of salt penetration during brining increased as the temperature and salt concentration increased from 5% to 15% while the effect of temperature on the salt penetration rates(%/hr) was rather reduced as salt concentration increased. The hardness of the cabbage measured by puncture test showed a rapid initial decrease during salting and the viscosity of brine changed little. Fermentation of Kimchi resulted a little increase in viscosity of Kimchi juice while the hardness of the cabbage decreased rapidly as pH reduced to pH 4.2-4.3 and then increased a little thereafter.

This study was conducted to standardize the proper ingredient ratios of chinese cabbage kimchi by the sensory evaluation, chemical properties, and functional properties of antimutagenic effect and inhibitory effect on the growth of cancer cells from the ratios obtained from literatures. The standardized ratios of ingredient from the literatures was 13.0 of radish, 2.0 of green onion, 3.5 of red pepper powder, 1.4 of garlic, 0.6 of ginger, 2.2 of anchovy juice, 1.0 of sugar and the final salt concentration 2.7 in the proportion of 100 salted chinese cabbage. The standardized ratio of the ingredients exhibited better overall acceptability and less moldy smell and moldy flavor than any other ratio of ingredient in the sensory evaluation. The standardized kimchi with the above ratios of the ingredients, at final salt concentration of 2.5%, showed high reducing sugar contents and Leuconostoc sp. counts. All juices of the chinese cabbage kimchi showed not only high antimutagenicity against aflatoxin $B_1$ in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 but also strong inhibitory effect on the growth of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells in SRB assay, especially these functional properties were the most effective at each standardized ratio of the ingredients. From the taste, chemical and functional properties, the standardized ratios of ingredients was 13.0 radish, 2.0 green onion, 3.5 red pepper powder, 1.4 garlic, 0.6 ginger. 2.2 anchovy juice, 1.0 sugar and the final salt concentration 2.5 in the proportion of 100 salted chinese cabbage.

김치란 상품의 가치를 유지하기 위하여서는 지금까지 시도된 물리, 화학적 방법만으로는 성공적이 될 수 없다. 그 중요한 이유 중의 하나는 고유한 우리 김치의 풍미를 만들어내는 주된 유산균은 어떤 종이며 그 특성이 무엇인가가 밝혀지지 않았기 때문이다. 시행착오적인 물리, 화학적 처리 방법의 도입으로 인하여 고유의 윤산균이 증식하지 못한다면 김치의 고유성을 상실할 수 있기 때문이다. 결국 김치의 산패와 연부는 시간이 경과됨에 따라서 군집제어적으로 일어나며 그 고유성과 풍미를 유지하기 위하여 새로운 도태압의 개념이 도입되어야 할 것이다. 김치의 미생물생태에 대한 연구가 거의 없으므로 본 절에서는 필자의 연구실에서 진행되고 있는 배추김치의 미생물에 대한 연구내용을 요약하여 소개하고자 한다.

최근 김치가 핵가족화와 외식산업의 발전 등에 따라 가정이 아닌 공장에서 제조/유통되고 있는데, 수입된 포장 김치는 단체급식소나 외식업체에 값싼 가격에 대량 공급되고 있으며 그 양도 점차 늘고 있다. 이에 국내 배추 재배농가나 김치 생산업체의 경쟁력이 약화될 위기에 처해 있을 뿐만 아니라 우리 고유의 김치 맛이 잃어버릴 수도 있으므로 국산 김치와 중국산 김치의 정확한 품질비교가 필요한 실정이다. (중략)

Kimchi, made from seasonal baechu (Chinese cabbage), was sealed in PP trays with a Nylon/CPP lid film and stored at various temperatures (0, 10, $20^{\circ}C$) to investigate the feasibility of detecting its fermentation degree by measuring gas composition inside the packages. The gas composition inside the kimchi package continuously changed due to $CO_2$ evolution during fermentation. Regardless of temperature, the fermentative gas accumulation in the package caused $CO_2$ concentration to increase by two-stepwise pattern, but $O_2$ concentration to decrease exponentially. As $CO_2$ concentration increased secondarily, the pH values of kimchi decreased proportionally (r>0.968). The production of $CO_2$ during kimchi fermentation was stimulated at higher temperatures and affected by seasonal factor. Kimchi made from winter baechu produced more fermentative gas than that from summer baechu. It was suggested that the changes in $CO_2$ concentration could be used as a characteristic index for indicating the fermentation course of packaged kimchi products.

Microbiological characteristics of low salt Mul-kimchi was examined. Mul-kimchi was prepared by mixing of radish (25%), green onion (2.4%), red pepper (1.9%), garlic (1.9%) and salt (0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 2.5, 3.0%) in water and fermented at 4, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, respectively. During fermentation period, total cell, Leuconostoc sp., Lactobacillus sp., Streptococcus sp., Pediococcus sp., coliform bacteria, gram (-) bacteria and yeast cell number were counted on their selection media. The microbes in Mul-kimchi were isolated and identified. Total cell number increased as salt concentration decreased and fermentation temperature increased. Lactic acid bacteria showed the highest number in 1.0% salt concentration. Yeast cell number increased with increase of salt concentration. Lactobacillus sp. were identified Lactobacillus plantarum and L. pentosus in Mul-kimchi containing $0.2{\sim}1.0%$ salt while those of Mul-kimchi containing 3.0% salt were Lactobacillus plantarum and L. brevis. The other lactic acid bacteria were identified Leuconostoc citrum, Leu.mes.ssp.mesenteroides/dextranicum and streptococcus facium in Mul-kimchi containing $0{\sim}3.0%$ salt while Pediococcus sp. was not detected. Gram-negative Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseu. aureofaciens and yeast Candida pelliculosa, Cryptococcus laurentii were identified in the Mul-kimchi.

The brined Chinese cabbages and kimchi seasoning mixture were separately stored and used for preparation of kimchi and the alternative method of conventional kimchi-manufacturing process was investigated. Chinese cabbages brined with 3% and 7% salt contents were stored at $0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, and kimchi seasoning mixture without salt was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. The changes in pH and total acid of the cabbages were significantly slowly for the brined cabbage of 7% salt and storage at $0^{\circ}C$. Microbial growth including lactic acid bacteria were also increased slowly at $0^{\circ}C$. But, pH and total acid content of the kimchi seasoning mixture were not changed significantly at both temperatures during storage. Sensory evaluation on the kimchi samples showed that the modified method of kimchi preparation with separately stored seasoning mixture and brined cabbages is useful industrially or at home.

Chinese cabbage Kimchi is a traditional fermented food and a numerous variety of Kimchies are produced in Korea. Most of Kimchis are produced on a small scale in the home for individual household use and recipes of Kimchis are deeply embedded in the individual cultures. Currently, however, factory-produced Kimchi is becoming popular by industrialization and changes of life style. This study was conducted to find out recipes of traditional Kimchis which are known delicious in Pusan and its environs and to develop a Kimchi with high quality. The characteristics of Kimchi recipes surveyed in Pusan and its environs are as follow: 1) Large amount of red pepper, garlic and anchovy sauce was used, which made Kimchi hot and spicy. 2) Extracts of dried anchovy or shrimp, or pear and onion juice was used to mix red pepper power. 3) Selection of good quality of Chinese cabbage and red pepper was very important step to determine quality of Kimchi. Furthermore, a numerous variety of submaterials added in Kimchi may also contribute to the high quality of Kimchi. 4) Salt concentration of Kimchi was around 2%, which was lower than it was generally known. Through this survey, it was suggested that maintaining low salt content of Chinese cabbage during salting make Kimchi crispy and juicy.
