We tested the effects of dietary intake of freeze-dried Korean traditional fermented cabbage (generally known as kimchi) with varying amounts of sodium on blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), as a control group, received a regular AIN-76 diet, and the SHRs were divided into four groups. The SHR group was fed a regular diet without kimchi supplementation, the SHR-L group was fed the regular diet supplemented with low sodium kimchi containing 1.4% salt by wet weight, which was provided in a freeze-dried form, the SHR-M group was supplemented with medium levels of sodium kimchi containing 2.4% salt, and the SHR-H group was supplemented with high sodium kimchi containing 3.0% salt. Blood pressure was measured over 6 weeks, and cardiac hypertrophy was examined by measuring heart and left ventricle weights and cardiac histology. SHRs showed higher blood pressure compared to that in WKY rats, which was further elevated by consuming high sodium containing kimchi but was not influenced by supplementing with low sodium kimchi. None of the SHR groups showed significant differences in cardiac and left ventricular mass or cardiomyocyte size. Levels of serum biochemical parameters, including blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, sodium, and potassium were not different among the groups. Elevations in serum levels of aldosterone in SHR rats decreased in the low sodium kimchi group. These results suggest that consuming low sodium kimchi may not adversely affect blood pressure and cardiac function even under a hypertensive condition.

Quality characteristics of baechu (Kimchi cabbage) kimchi prepared using various kinds of domestic solar salts (KS5Y, KS2Y, KS1Y, KFS, and KSS) and imported solar salts (AS1Y and CS1Y) were compared with Korean processed salt (KRS) and Mexican rock salt (MR1Y) during 60 days of storage. Sodium contents of MR1Y, AS1Y, and domestic KRS with values of 363,653.40, 358,952.40, and 356,799.90 mg/dL, respectively, were significantly higher than that of KFS with a value of 280,249.80 mg/dL (p < 0.001). Thus, the kimchi using KFS was expected to have 22-23% lower sodium content compared to that of the other kimchis. KFS magnesium content was significantly highest at 4,464.10 mg/dL and calcium was significantly the highest in samples of KS1Y with a value of 711.31 mg/dL. Most of the pHs and acidities in the kimchi samples were in the optimum range due to the relatively low storage temperature of $2^{\circ}C$. The salt concentrations of all kimchis using domestic solar salt during storage was greatly reduced compared to those using the imported salts or KRS. Sensory saltiness of the KS1Y sample group was significantly the lowest value (6.08) at 0 days of storage (p < 0.001) and maintained relatively low saltiness during the entire storage period. The crispness of the KS2Y, KS1Y, and KSS sample groups were significantly higher (10.02, 9.77, and 9.49, respectively), compared to that of KRS (7.64) at 60 days of storage (p < 0.001). The KFS sample group had the higher acceptance values for pickled seafood aroma, sour aroma, saltiness, and overall acceptability compared to those in the other samples.

본 연구에서는 대체염을 사용하여 제조한 김치의 숙성과정 중 발효 특성을 분석함으로써 저 나트륨 김치 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 저염 김치를 제조하고자 상업용 소금(S-1: 한주소금, S-2: 심층수염, S-3: 함초소금, S-4: 구운소금, S-5: 죽염)과 대체염(CS-17)을 첨가하여 제조한 김치를 $10^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 발효 숙성하면서 pH 및 적정 산도의 변화를 측정하였다. 이들의 실험에서 대체염(CS-17)과 함초소금을 사용한 김치의 경우는 다른 소금을 사용한 김치에 비하여 pH의 저하가 완만하였으며, 특히 대체염을 사용한 김치가 다른 5가지의 염에 비하여 15일 후의 적정산도가 가장 낮아 숙성이 다소 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 대조구로써 일반염(한주소금)김치와 대체염(CS-17)을 사용한 저 나트륨 김치를 $10^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 숙성 시 발효특성을 분석한 결과, pH의 변화에서 대체염 김치는 일반염 김치와 유사한 3.98을 보였으나, 적정산도에서는 일반염 김치의 1.15% 보다 다소 낮은 0.99%를 보였다. 이는 대체염에 의한 완충작용이 관여하는 것으로 생각된다. 숙성기간 동안의 일반염 김치는 2.17~2.5%의 염도 변화를 보인 반면, 대체염 CS-17을 첨가한 김치는 1.72~1.99%의 낮은 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 대체염 김치는 Na 함량이 562.5 mg%로 일반염 김치의 879.0 mg%에 비하여 64% 수준으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 대체염은 $Leuconostoc$속은 발효 6일차에 최대($1.5{\times}10^8$ cfu/g)에 이르렀으며, 일반염은 생육이 다소 저조하여 7일차에 $2.3{\times}10^7$ cfu/g 으로 최대가 되었다. $Leuconostoc$속의 경우에는 대체염은 8일차에 $3.0{\times}10^8$ cfu/g 최대에 이르렀고, 일반염 김치는 대체염보다 생육이 저조하였으나, 8일차에 최대 $6.0{\times}10^7$ cfu/g에 이르렀다. 대체염 CS-17을 이용한 김치는 저 Na화가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 완충능을 가지고 있어 김치 과잉 숙성에 의한 산패를 완화할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of salting degree of cabbage on the chemical, microbiological, textural changes and taste of Korean whole cabbage Kimchi fermented at $21^{\circ}C$ was studied. Low salted Kimchi (1.8% NaCl, soaking for 2 hr. in 20% brine) was showed higher total acdity than high salted Kimchi II(3.1% NaCl, Soaking For 8 hr in 20% brine) and III(2.9% NaCl, no soaking in 20% brine). The changes in growth of lactic acid bacteria was relevant to the salt content of whole cabbage Kimchi. Kimchi I was showed higher growth rate of Lactic acid bacteria and slower death rate constant of Lactic acid bacteria than that of Kimchi II and III. In palatability test, salty taste of Kimchi II, III was more salty than that of Kimchi I ($p{\leqq}0.01$) and total evaluation of Kimchi I, II was more palatable than Kimchi III ($p{\leqq}0.05$) at 3rd's day (optimum taste). Cutting force by Rheometer was well correlated with the salt content of Kimchi.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the pre- and post-harvest variable factors on the processed product of kimchi cabbage. Two kimchi cabbage cultivars, namely 'Chungwang' and 'Dongpung,' were grown in a field and under a plastic greenhouse condition and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ after harvesting with and without low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film packaging. Growths were determined after harvesting while salting characteristics were determined after the processing and storage. The results show that the height, weight and leaf thickness were higher in kimchi cabbages grown in the greenhouse than those grown in the field. The plastic house culture increased the kimchi cabbage growth of the head weight, head height and leaf thickness compared with that of the open field culture. However, the osmolality and firmness were higher in the outdoor cultivated kimchi cabbages. Kimchi cabbage packed in film covered sacks and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ showed lower weight loss than unpacked cabbages during storage. Salt concentration and pH were also affected by the different pre- and post-harvest factors after salting the kimchi cabbages. Salt concentrations of the kimchi cabbage were influenced by various factors such as the cultivars, cultivation methods and storage covering. Though the present findings showed a limited difference in salt concentration and pH between the cultivars of kimchi cabbages, this study suggests that there is a relationship between processed agricultural products and their pre- and post-harvest methods.

Although Korean people like Kimchi very much, Kimchi is generally limited in sodium restricted diet of hospital food service operation. The use of Kimchi in sodium restricted diet can improve appetite and nutritional status of patients. In this study, four kinds of Kimchi(Kwail-Nabakji, susan-Nabakji, suk-Gakduki, Oi-Gakduki) were Prepared and analyzed for their Sodium contents. the preference of Kwail-Nabakji and susan-Nabakji was compared with low sodium Juciy kimchi provided in the hospital in 25 patients who were restricted in sodium intake. The result were as follows: 1. In 2 kinds of low sodium juicy Kimchi that salt not added sodium contents of kwail-Nabakji(fruti-juicy Kimchi) and susan-nabakji(ginseng-Kimchi) were 17.8 mg/100g a 11.0 mg/100g, respectively. 2. The otehr 2 kimchies were prepared by adding dilute salted shrimp broth. suk-Gakd uki(boild radish-Kimchi) and Oi-Gakduki(cumcuber-Kimchi) had 89.8 mg/100g and 111.6 mg/100g sodium, respectively. 3. Na/k ratios of 4 kinds of low sodium kimchi were in the range of 0.34-0.62 which were lower than that of general Kimchies. 4. The patients preferred kwil-nabakji and susan-nabakji to low sodium juicy Kimchi provided in the hospital, and most liked Kwai-Nabakju. Therefore low sodium Kimchies can be recommended in sodium restricted diet because they have lower sodium contents then general Kimchies.

This study was done to explore the effect of Korean women's salt usage behavior on their sodium intake and excretion according to aging. Dietary sodium intake and salt usage behavior were analyzed to compare the difference between young and middle-aged women. One hundred fifty six young women and 77 middle-aged women without hypertension or any current medication were recruited. Body mass index, waist hip ratio, blood pressure were measured from each subject. Salt usage behaviors were surveyed with questionnaire, sodium intake with 24-hr recall method, and sodium excretion with spot urine. Middle-aged women were more obese than young women according to body mass index and waist hip ratio. Blood pressure was significantly higher for the middle-aged. Young women consumed more fats and middle-aged women more carbohydrates. Middle-aged women consumed more sodium and potassium, and excreted more sodium. Among questionnaire items, kimchi, soup or pot stew, or salted vegetables were found to be related with high sodium diet. Salted vegetables and salted nuts and potato chips were significantly correlated with young women's high sodium diet, while soy sauce on fried food, kimchi, salted vegetables accounted for middle-aged women's high sodium diet. With these results, we concluded that middle-aged women consumed more carbohydrates, less fat, and more sodium and potassium than young women. Middle-aged women frequently choose kimchi, soup or pot stew, or salted vegetables, and they contribute to high sodium intake. We recommend to choose low-salt kimchi, less soup or pot stew, and more fresh vegetables for lower sodium diet.

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of salting in 10% salt solution added 2% calcium chloride on the kimchi fermentation. The addition of calcium chloride extended edible periods of the Kimchi to 4~5 days and increased relatively the hardness of Chinese Cabbage. In the addition of calcium chloride, the activities of amylase and $\beta$ -galactosidase were not high during all periods fermentation. Polygalacturonase and protease activities were low 2~21%, 2~26% all periods fermentation, respectively. There were significant correlations between the delay of ripeness and decreasing enzyme activation. The amount of free amino acid by the treatment with calcium chloride was decreased of 10~16% at the late of fermentation than that of control. the treatment with calcium chloride of the Kimchi was increased hardness, but decreased cohesiveness and gumminess was during all periods fermentation. the adhesiveness was increased at the early of fermentation but decreased at the late of fermentation.
