GFSE 분말제재를 절인 배추에 대하여 0.1％, 0.3％ 및 0.5％씩 첨가하여 김치를 만들고 10％에서 숙성하면서 pH, 적정산도, 환원당 함량, 총균수, 젖산균수와 같은 품질 특성을 조사하였다. 숙성 기간이 경과함에 따라 김치의 pH는 감소하였는데, 대조구와 GFSE 분말제재 0.1％ 첨가구, 0.3％와 0.5％ 첨가구는 서로 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 대조구는 숙성 5일의 pH가 4.20으로 김치의 숙성 적기로 판단되는 범위에 도달하였는데

Grapefruit seed extract powder (GFSEP), which was made with grapefruit seed extract and calcium carbonate, was investigated to retard the fermentation rate. The mixing ratios of GFSEP to salted Chinese cabbage were 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5％. Quality characteristics of kimchi such as pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar content and microbial loads were measured during fermentation at 10. pH and reducing sugar content of control and kimchi sample with 0.1％ GFSEP showed decreases until 10 days, and then attained to stabilized levels. Kimchi samples with 0.3％ and 0.5％ GFSEP maintained a higher pH and reducing sugar content, while microbial load was lower than others. Based on the pH and tit ratable acidity, kimchi samples with GFSEP prolong the shelf life about 3～10 days.
