본 연구는 염지공정에 사용되는 대표적인 염지제 종류를 각각 또는 혼합 처리한 돈육 등심의 품질 특성을 확인하고, 육제품 특성에 영향하는 각 염지제의 특성을 확인코자 실시하였다. 본 실험의 원료육은 돈육 등심을 이용하여 염지제를 첨가하지 않은 대조구(C)와 소금 5%(T1), 인산염 5%(T2), 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T3), 소금 5% + 인산염 5%(T4), 소금 5% + 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T5) 및 인산염 5% + 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T6) 등 원료육 중량의 10%를 기준으로 처리구를 설정하였다. 주입된 처리구들은 준비된 폴리백에 보관 후 24시간 동안 4℃에 냉장보관 하였다. pH 측정 결과, 5.44-6.04의 범위를 보였으며, 소금 염지 처리구(T1)을 제외한 모든 처리구에서 대조구보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 육즙감량(%)은 대조구에서 다른 처리구들에 비해 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 보수력(%) 또한 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 높은 경향을 보이며 T1과 T3 처리구에서 가장 높은 보수력을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 단백질 용해성의 총단백질 및 근원 섬유단백질 농도는 모든 처리구에서 높은 용해성을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 결과적으로 염지제의 종류 및 이의 혼합 처리에 따른 돈육 등심의 이화학적 특성에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 염지제의 처리는 근육의 pH 상승과 육즙 손실의 감소, 보수력 및 단백질 용해성을 증가시켜 육제품의 품질특성에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of low-salt kimchi with salt partially replaced by Salicornia herbacea L. powder (SH). We prepared kimchi with seasonings in which salt was replaced by 0% (S00), 10% (S10), 20% (S20) and 30% (S30) SH. The salinity level of kimchi was about 1%, and there was no significant difference between the experimental groups. Although lactic acid bacterial numbers of kimchi replaced with SH (S10~S30) increased significantly compared to those of control (S00), the pH and titratable acidity of kimchi replaced with SH were not significantly different. Hardness of kimchi tended to increase as fermentation progressed and with SH addition. The results of the sensory evaluation corroborated the physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, the sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different upon addition of SH. The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different despite replacement of salt in kimchi seasoning by SH up to 10%.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of black soybean paste(Daemacjang) with black soybean content and salt concentration. The total acidity increased as the pH decreased during fermentation period. The amino-type nitrogen content of all samples increased significantly during fermentation time. Total cell counts was not significantly different during fermentation, and mold counts decreased at 3 log cycles. The cell counts of lactic acid bacteria decreased approximately 2 to 3 log cycles in 10% salt concentration (treat B and C), and were not detected in treat A and D. Total polyphenol contents of treat A, B, and C were 42.77%, 52.99% and 52.95% during fermentation up to 70days, respectively, which was higher than D (39.86%). In a sensory evaluation, treat B showed the highest scores for overall acceptability.

본 연구는 소금을 된장, 간장 및 고추장으로 대체한 우육포의 품질특성 구명 및 전통장류를 이용한 우육포의 제조가능성을 타진코자 실시하였다. 본 실험에 이용된 원료육은 한우육의 semimembranosus 근육을 이용하여 동일한 염도(15)의 소금(대조구), 된장, 간장 및 고추장을 염지액의 2% 수준으로 첨가시켜 70℃에서 8시간동안 건조하였다. 수분활성도는 0.79-0.88의 범위를 만족하며, 처리구에서 대조구인 소금 첨가구에 비해 높은 수분활성도 값을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 수분함량 또한 22.98-28.87%의 범위를 보였으며, 된장과 간장 첨가구에서 대조구보다 높은 수분함량 값을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 육색 측정 결과, 된장, 간장 및 고추장 첨가구에서 대조군보다 낮은 명도 값을 나타내었고, 적색도는 대조구와 고추장 첨가구에서 된장 및 간장 첨가구에 비해 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 전단가 및 조직감 측정 결과, 대조구에 비해 처리구에서 낮은 전단가를 보였다. 경도 또한 대조구인 소금 첨가구에서 처리구에 비해 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 관능평가 결과, 소금을 첨가한 대조구가 6.25로 가장 높은 염도 값을 나타내어 전통장류로 대체 시 소비자들이 느끼는 염도를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 향 및 조직감에서 간장 첨가구에서 가장 높은 값을 획득하였다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과는 종합적 기호도로 이어져 간장을 첨가한 육포가 소금과 된장 및 고추장을 첨가한 육포에 비해 유의적으로 높은 선호도 값을 획득하였다(p<0.05).

The nutritional value of kimchi is gaining global focus along with new possibilities and uses for the various salts used in making kimchi. The purpose of the study is to conduct research on the uses of various salts and investigate the consumer recognition of salt use in kimchi preparation. The findings are from 824 consumers over 19 years old from 15 locations who participated in this questionnaire via one-to-one interviews from September 23rd to October 14th, 2009. The results of the questionnaire show that when customers cooked, 71.9% used solar salt, 62.2% used flower salt (refined salt), 27.4% used Hanju salt (purified salt), 59.0% used processed salt (roasted salt), 47.4% used bamboo salt, 69.4% used Mat salt (table salt), and 18.2% used low sodium salt. The most preferred origin of salts was domestic. Most customers salted Chinese cabbage while preparing kimchi. Consumers showed low perceptions of different salts used in kimchi production, and did not exactly recognize the characteristics of various salts. The preferences for domestic and solar salts were very high, while the preference for sea salts was low. In conclusion, various types of salts could improve the quality of kimchi. This study hopes to help consumers produce better kimchi to match different needs. Therefore, attention should be paid to promoting the characteristics of various salts influencing the quality of kimchi.

We has been researched physicochemical, sensory and microbiological characteristics of salt-fermented shrimps after making them with different kinds of salts such as domestic or imported and purified or solar salt. Physicochemical characteristics of salt-fermented shrimps on color, salinity and pH which was made by 6 kinds of salt did not show any difference in the overall processing. However, in case of amino-N content, it showed the higher level of its contents at the process of Korean solar salt comparing to other. In case of microbiological, the total viable cells was detected most from the Australian solar salt during the initial stage of fermentation, but after 12-week of fermentation, the Chinese solar salt showed the largest number of total viable cells. Also, it found the Korean solar salt contained the lowest level of coliforms, while it found the highest level of coliforms contents in Chinese solar salt. However, there were no significant differences of microbiological characteristics from the salt-fermented shrimp made with 6 kinds of salt(p<0.05). As a result of sensory quality on salt-fermented shrimps, domestic salts was higher than imported. But there were no significant difference of sensory quality from the salt-fermented shrimps made with 6 different kinds of salt(p<0.05).

Jangachi(salted and fermented vegetable) has been made by Korean traditionally using several kinds of vegetables, which is a good source of variety of nutrients and vitamins. There are many methods for making Jangachi. Generally soy sauce Jangachi is made through two steps. First, as a pretreatment, vegetables are soaked in salt water. Second, soaked vegetables are fermented in various ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger and so on. This study was performed to observe changes in contents of chemical components and sensory evaluation of pretreated perilla leaf. Perilla leaf was soaked in water with different levels of salt concentration(2, 5 and 8 %) and soaking time(1, 3 and 5 days). The optimal level of salt and soaking time was determined with the results of sensory evaluation by response surface methodology and analysis of composition. The moisture contents decreased as the levels of salt and soaking time increased. The moisture content of untreated sample was 87.5 % and when soaked for 5 days in the water of 8 % salt concentration, it became 78.27 %. pH of Perilla leaf was high in high levels of salt concentration and short soaking time. Total acidity was so opposite to pH that was low in high levels of salt concentration and short soaking time. In the water of 8 % salt concentration, total acidity was 0.14 % when soaked for 1 day, 0.20 % for 3 days and 0.30 % for 5 days. Salt contents became greater as the soaking time increased. As the results of puncture test, soaked Perilla leaf's toughness increased as the levels of salt increased and soaking time decreased. Among the sensory attributes, greenness increased as the levels of salt concentration increased when soaked for more than 3 days. Saltiness and bitterness became greater as the levels of salt concentration increased. Perilla flavor decreased with the short soaking time. Off-flavor increased with the increased levels of soaking time and decreased salt concentration when soaked for more than 3 days. Toughness decreased as the levels of soaking time increased. Crispness increased with the increased levels of salt concentration. The condition of pretreated Perilla was optimum when it soaked for 42 hours in 4 % salt concentration.

Chemical composition of imported table salts from China (sun dried), Thailand (sun dried) and Australia (rock salt) were compared the mineral content and heavy metal contamination with Korean sun dried salt. Kimchies prepared by those salts were analyzed the quality by pH, acidity and sensory evaluation. Chemical compositions were as follows : moisture-from 1.7% (Australia) to 8.7% (Korea), sodium chloride-from 86.7% (China, summer) to 97% (Australia), insoluble matter in water-from 0.02% (Australia) to 0.18 (China), and sulfate ion-from 0.03% (Australia) to 1.65% (China, summer). Judging by Korean Standard(KS) of salt, salt from Australia and Thailand belong to lst grade, Korean and Chinese (winter) to 2nd grade, and China (summer) were out of 3rd grade. Ca and Mg content of the salts tested were 0.022% (Australia) to 0.246 (China, winter), 0.036% (Australia) to 0.$41% (China, summer) respectively and Pb was 1.23 ppm(China, summer)-0.61ppm(Korea) which is within the Korean regulation. The other heavy metals, Pb, Cd, As and Hg were not detected in all salts tested. The quality of Kimchi prepared by those salts were significantly no difference with Korean sun dried salt.

The effect of ripening temperature, pH and salinity on the formation of N-nitrosamine (NA) during Kimchi fermentation and in vitro was studied, respectively. During Kimchi fermentation for six weeks at cold storage temperature (4℃) and room temperature (16 ±2℃), the contents of nitrite and dimethylamine (DMA) showed variation at room temperature but no variation at cold storage temperature. The maximum generation of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) resulted low content (2.69 ug/kg) at cold storage temperature but started to increase after one week fermentation and reached to the 18-fold higher generation (49.6 ug/kg) at room temperature. During Kimchi fermentation, no correlation was observed between the variation of nitrite and DMA content and the generation of NDMA. However, pH showed effective relation to NDMA generation such as the highest NDMA generation was obtained at lowest pH 4. During in vitro test, higher temperature and lower pH resulted more NDMA generation and generation amount was affected more by pH. Also, the salinity of Kimchi provided inhibitory effects on the formation of NDMA. NDMA was produced 5.86 ug/kg at normal salinity (2.5%) but 90.9 ug/kg at lower salinity (15%) after three week. The higher salinity showed lower formation of NDMA in vitro test, too.

소금농도를 0, 2, 4 및 6%로 조정한 여과제균 배추즙에 김치에서 분리한 7주의 젖산균을 단독 접종하고 30℃에서 배양하면서 증식곡선을 작성하고 이를 이용하여 각 배양조건에서의 유도시간과 세대시간을 구하였다. 소금농도 증가에 따라 증식곡선의 모양이 균주에 따라 서로 다르게 변하였다. 2∼4%의 소금을 첨가하면 모든 젖산균들의 유도시간이 연장되었다. 소금농도를 0%에서 4%로 높였을 때 유도시간은 Leu. paramesenteroides 및 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum 가장 연장되었고, 그 다음이 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides, Lac. bavaricus 및 Lac. homohiochii 이었다. 연장기간이 가장 짧은 것은 Lac. plantarum 및 Lac. brevis이었다. 이때 세대시간이 가장 많이 연장된 것은 Lac. bavaricus 및 Lac. homohiochii이었고, 그 다음은 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides, Leu. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum 및 Leu. paramesenteroides이었다. 연장율이 가장 낮은 것은 Lac. plantarum 및 Lac. brevis이었다. 소금 2% 첨가에 의하여 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum 및 Leu. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides의 세대시간은 소금 무첨가 보다 약간 길어졌고, Lac. homohiochii 및 Lac. brevis는 변화가 없었다. Lac. plantarum Lac. bavaricus 및 Leu. paramesenteroides는 오히려 약간 단축되었다. 소금농도가 2%에서 4%로 증가하면 젖산균 균종간의 세대시간 서열이 바뀌었다. 소금농도가 낮으면 Leuconostoc속 젖산균들의 증식이 유리하였고, 소금농도가 높으면 Lactobacillus속 젖산균들의 증식이 유리하였다.

산업혁명 이후로 계속해서 문제가 되어왔던 이산화탄소를 저감하기 위한 노력이 전세계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 다양한 이산화탄소 저감 기술 중 이산화탄소를 안정적이고 대량으로 고정 및 재이용할 수 있는 기술 중 하나로 무기탄산화 기술이 있는데 이는 금속이온과 이산화탄소를 반응시켜 무기탄산염을 생성하는 기술이다. 따라서 금속이온 공급원 선택이 핵심 요소 중 하나인데 일반적으로 Mg2+, Ca2+, K+, Na+ 등을 포함한 다량의 금속 이온을 포함하고 있는 해수를 기반으로 한 폐기물의 사용에 대하여 고려하였다. 정제소금 생산 공정에서는 위에 언급된 해수를 사용하여 소금을 생산한다. 이러한 과정에서 Na+가 제거되면서 Mg2+ 및 Ca2+가 농축된다. 따라서 기존의 해수보다 높은 농도의 금속 이온을 가지고 있기 때문에 사용하기에 적합하며 폐수처리라는 장점 또한 가지고 있다. 먼저 해수 내의 Ca이온을 OH-이온을 사용한 pH조절을 통하여 Ca(OH)2로 분리한 후 CO2 포화 아민계 흡수제(Methyldiethanolamine, MDEA)를 사용하여 이산화탄소를 전달한다. 생성물을 여과한 후 고온에서 24시간 건조시킨 후에 XRD, SEM, TGA를 사용하여 결정구조, 모양 및 순도분석을 실시하였다. 또한 포화 아민계 흡수제 제조 과정에서 재이용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 탈거 및 재흡수실험을 진행하였다.

Seok-jang is one of traditional seasonings prepared by solidification of the mixture of say sauce and salt for long period of aging time. In this study, the physiochemical properties of Seok-jang were investigated for the substitution of solar salt. Seok-jang exhibited highest mineral (P, Na, Fe, Mn, and Al) contents than those of solar salt and soy sauce, while showed lower soluble solids content than that of soy sauce. Seok-jang also exerted the highest pH value 7.70 compared to solar salt and soy sauce. Whereas magnesium and calcium contents of solar salts were 2.90 and 0.26 ppm, which were significantly higher than those of Seok-jang. In color values, L* value was highest in solar salt and lowest in say sauce, While the highest a* and b* value were 6.19 and 18.2 observed in Seok-jang followed by a solar salt and soy sauce. On the other hand, less amount of insoluble solid and sand powder content were 0.03 and 0.07% found in Seok-jang, respectively. In conclusion, Seok-jang was suitable for the potentional substitution of natural salt ingredient.

The purpose of this study was to develop a supplemental healthy food that can help prevent high blood pressure-related diseases caused due to the excessive consumption of sodium in salt. This was achieved by using ion-displacement techniques to produce mineral salt with lower sodium content by using fermented brown rice by-products rich in minerals. Mineral salt containing 2019.2 mg/100 g of potassium, 678.5 mg/100 g of magnesium, 48.7 mg/100 g of calcium, and 19.5 mg/100 g of sodium was obtained by fermenting brown rice by-products to create a culture medium for the mineral salt. Mineral salt containing 1769.7 mg/100 g of potassium, 573.6 mg/100 g of magnesium, 35.3 mg/100 g of calcium, and 19.5 mg/100 g of sodium was obtained by filtering and refining the by-product extract of fermented brown rice. The results showed that when the stream velocity of the instrument used for electrolysis was 200 mL/min and the current and the concentration of the reactive liquid in the purified water chamber were higher, the effect of electrolysis was greater. Ion hot water extraction of the fermented brown rice by-products improved by up to 95% and was collected as purified water within 90 min of the reaction time. Chloride ions with pH 7.4 were produced by mixing sodium hydroxide in a purified saline water chamber with electro-analyzed water. The salt produced in this study contained low sodium, 5.7~30%, as compared to 40% sodium content of the normal salt.

소금은 우리가 살아가기 위해서 반드시 섭취해야하는 성분이지만 많이 섭취했을 경우 각종 성인병을 일으키는 양날의 칼을 가진 존재이다. 따라서 우리는 천일염을 많이 선호한다. 그러나 천일염도 만드는 과정이 매우 중요하다. 염전에 보통 빗물과 바닷물이 고이게 되면 이끼가 끼는데 이것을 쉽게 제거하기 위해 염산을 뿌리는 경우가 있다. 그것이 고스란히 소금에 묻어나는 것이다. 또 소금을 생산할 때는 염전 바닥에 황토를 깔아 토판염을 만들어 이용하는데 이렇게 하면 미네랄이 더욱 풍부해진다. 그래서 토판염은 보통의 소금보다 가격이 5배 이상 비싸다. 소금을 만들 때 중국산 소금을 염전에 뿌리고 다시 거둬들여서 원산지를 국내산으로 표기하는 경우도 많다. 화학적으로 만든 공업용 소금을 들여와 국내산 천일염으로 둔갑시키는 경우도 많다. 그러므로 생산과정과 유통경로가 확실히 보장되는 제품을 선택하는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이다. 소금은 고혈압의 원인을 제공하는 것이 아니라 오히려 혈압을 낮추는 역할을 한다고 할 수 있다. 이미지 맵을 통한 디자인 요소별 분석방법을 제시하고 국내외의 소금패키지디자인을 비교 평가한 결과 새롭게 디자인하여 제시된 천사의 섬 신안천일염 패키지가 종합평가에서 가장 우수한 디자인으로 평가 결과가 나옴으로서 향후 소금패키지 디자인 시 평가 요소별 가중치를 고려하여 디자인함으로서 수용자와 공감이 되어 구매 시 선택의 폭을 최소화할 수 있다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
