The objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of cabbage juice fermented by lactic acid bacteria from Kimchi (Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus sakei SL1103, Lactobacillus plantarum LS5, and mixed starter). Cabbage juice was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fermented at 30 for 72 hrs. Changes in lactic acid bacteria number, pH, titratable acidity, Brix, and color during fermentation were analyzed. After fermentation for 24 hrs, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest number of lactic acid bacteria (9.45 log CFU/mL). The pH of all cabbage juice also decreased to 3.88~4.19 sharply, while cabbage juice fermented by Lac. sakei SL1103 showed the highest Brix (8.38˚Bx). Cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest L value (56.83). In the sensory evaluation, cabbage juice fermented by a mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103, and Lac. plantarum LS5) showed the highest preferences in taste, flavor, and overall acceptability. Therefore, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103 and Lac. plantarum LS5) has the highest potential for the development of fermented cabbage juice as an excellent bioactive functional food.

연근즙 첨가수준에 따라 백김치를 제조한 후 에서 4주간 저장하면서 숙성 중의 이화학적, 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 연근즙의 첨가수준이 증가할수록 pH는 감소, 산도는 반대로 증가하는 경향을 보였고 숙성기간 중에도 같은 경향을 보였다. 탁도는 첨가수준이 증가할수록 증가함을 볼 수 있었으며, 숙성 2주까지는 대조군의 비해 첨가군의 경우 탁도가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 숙성 3주, 4주에서는 약간 더 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 색도 L 값과 a 값은 연
