월동 배추 3품종 중 외형적 특징을 조사한 결과 '만풍'이 가장 크고, 무거웠으며 잎의 두께도 가장 두꺼웠다. 그러나 김치제조 시 다듬는 과정에서 초록색의 크고 두꺼운 겉잎이 많이 제거되어 가식부위의 무게는 '설왕'보다 적었다. 배추 3품종 중잎이 두꺼운 '만풍'이 경도 또한 가장 높았으며 산도도 높았다. 김치 제조 후 품질을 조사한 결과 '만풍'은 조직의 경도 저하가 다른 품종에 비하여 적었지만 pH 및 총산의 변화에 있어서는 '만풍' 품종이

This study were comparison the quality characteristics of winter Chinese cabbage and investigation the physicochemical properties during Kimchi fermentation. External characteristics of three cultivars winter Chinese cabbage were compared, total weight of "Manpung" cultivar showed the heaviest in Chinese cabbages, but edible portion weight of "Seolwang" cultivar showed the heaviest in Chinese cabbages. Kimchi made of winter Chinese cabbage were fermented at 5 for 40 days, of which pH, acidity, free sugar and organic acid were measured. The hardness of "Manpung" cultivar continued highly during the Kimchi fermentation at 5. The pH and total acid in Kimchi fermentation, of the "Manpung" cultivar changed more than those of others. At the initial stage of Kimchi fermentation the major organic acid was citric acid, but lactic acid and acetic acid were increased rapidly during fermentation of Kimchi. The major organic acid of Kimchi fermented for 30 days was lactic acid, and the lactic acid contents of Kimchi prepared with "Manpung" cultivar was 6,796.6/g account for 69.6% of total organic acid.
