매실 추출물의 식품 보존제로서의 이용가능성을 검토하기 위하여 각각 0.5%, 1% 농도의 매실 추출물의 김치 유산균의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 1%, 3%의 매실 추출물을 김치에 첨가하여 숙성에 따른 이화학적, 미생물학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 매실 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 유산균의 성장을 억제하는 것으로 나타났으며 김치 숙성 중 pH, 산도, 총균수, 유산균수, 색상, 기호성을 대조구와 비교한 결과 매실 추출물 첨가구의 경우 pH 감소속도는

This studies were carried out to investigate the effect of Prunus mume Sie. extract on growth of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi and preservation of kimchi. Prunus mums Sie. extract inhibited the growth of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi. In early storage stage, the pH of Prunus mume Sie. extract added kimchi(PEAK) was lower than that of control. The pH of PEAK was higher than that of control after 25 days of fermentation. Titratable acidity, viable cell of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of the PEAK were lower than that of control during fermentation. The sensory quality of 1% PEAK was similar to control at 10 days of fermentation But overall acceptability of 3% PEAK decreased compare with l% PEAK.
