This study was conducted to provide basic data on the amount of sodium and the setting of permissible error range of actual measurement, which is a problem for cabbage kimchi nutrients subject to labeling. The sample targeted was baechu (Kimchi cabbage) kimchi, which might have a large variation in sodium content by part of kimchi. Kimchi samples were collected twice from eight companies by season (spring, summer, fall, and winter). The average sodium content in kimchi samples was 619±87 mg/100 g (range, 534±63 mg/100 g to 783±40 mg/100 g). The error in average annual sodium content of abandonment kimchi (maximum value difference compared to the minimum value) was 26.8 to 64.3%. Sodium contents in kimchi produced in spring and summer were relatively low. However, deviation between individuals was large. It was found that cases exceeding the permissible error (120%) standard varied depending on the criteria for setting the amount of sodium. In addition, due to seasonal differences, sodium content in kimchi exceeded 120% of the labeling value. Thus, it is necessary to set standards suitable for characteristics of kimchi to prevent unintentional violations of labeling standards by raw materials and manufacturing processes.

배추의 저비용 고효과 저장 방법을 개발하기 위하여 토굴저장고를 개발하고 배추를 저장하여 저장수율과 김치가공적성을 평가하였다. 저장고 유형은 석회광산굴 내에 우레탄판넬로 설치한 토굴냉장형, 콘크리트로 높이가 2.5m로 낮고 복토한 암거형, 콘크리트로 높이가 5m이고 복토한 엄개형의 3가지 였고, 지상저장고를 대조구로 하였다. 배추는 2016년 여름, 가을, 2017년 겨울, 봄, 여름, 가을, 2018년 겨울 등 총 7회 저장하였고, 각각은 8-12주간 저장하였으며, 저장 중 저장수율과 가공수율을 측정하였다. 그리고 매달 저장 배추로 김치를 담아 저장배추의 품질을 평가하였다. 저장고 유형별 배추의 저장수율은 2016 여름배추 68-73%, 2016 가을배추 29-45%, 2017 겨울배추 67-87%, 2017 봄배추 70-89%, 2017 여름배추 82-92%, 2017 가을배추 79-95%로 나타났고, 가공수율은 2016 여름배추 72%, 2016 가을배추 9-21%, 2017 겨울배추 28-54%, 2017 봄배추 39-43%, 2017 가을배추 56-59%로 나타났다. 저장배추로 담근 김치의 품질은 저장고 유형 간에 유의적인 차이가 없이 보통 이상으로 나타났다.

The contents of eleven kinds of biogenic amines were investigated from June to October, 2017 for twenty kinds of cabbage Kimchi, ten kinds of fish sauce, and forty kinds of salted fish purchased from small and medium sized grocery stores in Gyeonggi-Do. In the case of cabbage-kimchi, the amount of each of the BAs in the present study was slightly lower when comparing the detection amounts of each of the ten kinds of BAs and the existing research reports of Joe et al. All five anchovy sauces were less than Maximum Residue limits of European Union(histamine 400 mg/kg) but three of five cases of sandlance sauces were violated Maximum Residue limits of European Union(histamine 400 mg/kg). As a result of analysis of the content ratio of five kinds of BAs reported to be highly toxic to total 11 kinds of analyzed BAs, there was no quantitative correlation between the residual amount of BAs and the residual amount of toxic inducible five kinds of BAs. Estimated daily intake of five kinds of BAs with high possibility of toxicity of kimchi and fermented fish were not more than 6 mg.

To compare functional Chinese cabbage(‘Amtak’ baechu; F1 hybrid cultivar between Brassica rapa and B. perkinensis, AB) with general Chinese cabbage (‘Chunkwang’ baechu; general spring cultivar, CB), two kinds of kimchi(ABK and CBK) prepared with AB and CB cultivar were fermented at 10°C for 10 days. Their fermentative characteristics and anti-proliferative activities against mouse carcinoma cell lines were investigated. General kimchi(CBK) showed mature pH on the 6th day of fermentation, whereas functional kimchi(ABK) reached pH on the 9th day. CBK also exhibited acidity of mature stage on the 6th day, but ABK reached mature acidity on the 9th day. Although ABK and CBK were salted in the same condition, ABK had lower salinity than CBK, throughout the fermentation time. The highest total bacterial and lactic bacterial counts of CBK showed on the 8th day of fermentation, but ABK showed the highest total bacterial and lactic bacterial counts on the 10th day. The texture of ABK was harder than CBK for fermentation time. This seems to be corrleated with the slower fermentation rate of ABK. ABK showed significantly higher anti-proliferative activity (54.6% cell viability of control) in B16BL6 at 1,000 μg/mL. ABK was also higher in anti-proliferative activity than CBK throughout the fermentation time. However, there was no significant difference in the anti-proliferative activity of ABK between the fermentation times. In conclusion, fermentation of ABK showed a better texture, due to the slow fermentation rate and more anti-proliferative activity against mouse carcinoma cell line than those of CBK.

This study attempted to establish the optimal conditions for storage of spring kimchi cabbage to stably control supply and demand. To this end, this study stored kimchi cabbages in various manners for different periods and compared the quality characteristics of kimchi using these cabbages. According to the results, pre-drying with photocatalytic and pre-cooling treatments showed average selectivity loss rates of 18.83 and 21.37%, respectively, which were lower than those of other treatments. Spring kimchi cabbages were stored for 15 weeks under various conditions, and the kimchi was stored for 4 weeks at 4°C. After ripening, each kimchi was analyzed for their soluble solid content, pH, acidity, and salinity. The average pH of kimchi was 4.60 and tended to rise, whereas average acidity was 0.38% and fell by 0.24 to 0.31% as the storage period was extended. Extension of the storage period caused decreases in soluble solid content and salinity, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased due to increased pH and reduced acidity (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation showed that all experts and non-professionals preferred kimchi treated by precooling compared to any other treatment.

GABA(γ-aminobutric acid)는 비단백질성 아미노산으로 뇌기능 촉진, 신경안정 및 혈압저하 효과 등의 생리 활성 기능물질로 알려져 있다. GABA 고함유 배추김치를 제조하기 김치제조 시 사용되는 부재료로 표고버섯, 느타리, 팽이, 큰느타리, 양송이 등 국내산 버섯류를 수집하여 열수 및 5% trichloroacetic acid 로 추출하고 HPLC을 이용하여 GABA 함량을 분석하였다. 버섯류 중에는 양송이 39.46 mg 100 g-1, 큰느타리 31.63 mg 100 g-1, 느타리 70.75 mg 100 g-1로 순으로 느타리 버섯이 가장 높은 GABA 함량을 나타내어 김치 부재료로 사용하였다. 느타리 버섯이 함유된 김치육수에 GABA 생성 Lactobacillus 유산균을 접종하고 30°C에서 24시 간 발효시킨 육수를 이용하여 김치를 제조한 후, 4°C에서 숙성 기간별 GABA 및 glutamic acid 함량변화를 분석한 결과, 김치는 초기에 비해 19일 후 GABA 함량이 88.59 mg g-1 증가하였고, 김치국물도 173.79 mg 100 mL-1의 증가효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 배추김치 제조시 부재료로 느타리 버섯과 실온에서 Lactobacillus 균을 접종하여 발효한 육수를 사용시 배추김치의 GABA함량을 증진시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

To stabilize the supply of kimchi by extending the storage period of spring kimchi cabbage, this study manufactured kimchi from spring kimchi cabbage under varying storage conditions and periods, and analyzed their quality and sensory characteristics following the maturing period. Trimming loss was lowest in the group of plasma+reverse direction+predrying+ HDPE film processing. The salting yield of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks was lower than that of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 6 weeks, and the kimchi yield was low in the pre-treatment group of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks. The firmness was slightly different according to the storage period from one month of maturation. From the perspective of pH and acidity, the maturation in the reverse direction+pre-drying+HDPE film processing group was slower than that in the normal group (<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, the preference was increased in the low temperature storage processing group as the maturation period was increased (<0.05).

본 연구는 월동배추를 주로 이용하는 한국인의 전통적인 김장방법으로 인한 김장철 배추가격 급등락의 문제해결에 기 여하고자 상대적으로 사용도가 낮은 봄배추를 이용한 김치 의 저장기간 연장과 품질유지를 목적으로 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 경도는 수확시기가 가장 늦은 7월초 김치가 6월 중순 김치보다 유의적으로 높았으나(p<0.01) 숙성이 진행됨에 따 라 저장 8주차에는 수확시기에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이 지 않았다. 김치 숙성과 상관성이 높은 pH와 산도 측정결과 전반적으로 저장 초기에 비해 pH는 감소하였고, 산도는 증 가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 관능평가 결과, 외관은 김치의 제 조시기와 숙성기를 종합하여 6월말 제조 김치의 외관이 가 장 우수하였고(p<0.05), 저장 4주차와 8주차에는 7월초 김치 가 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었으나 유의적인 차이는 없었 다. 조직감 및 전반적인 기호도 항목에 있어서도 처리구별 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 따라서 수확시기에 차이를 둔 봄배추로 김치 제조 시 생배추 상태 또는 제조직후의 차이에 비해 절임과 숙성과정, 양념의 첨가 등을 통해 그 유의 적 차이가 감소됨에 따라 수확시기가 봄배추로 제조된 김치 품질에 미치는 영향은 크지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만, 수확시기가 가장 늦은 배추로 제조된 김치의 경우 생배추 상 태에서 경도가 유의적으로 높았으며 숙성기간 및 저장기간 이 연장되었으므로 이를 수확시기나 작황사정과 연결하여 차 후 심화된 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study compared and analyzed the consumption and amount of red pepper used in Baechu Kimchi (cabbage Kimchi) especially the amounts used in Kimchi recipes with respect to the passage of time from the 1930s to the 2010s. In this analysis, 78 recipes for cabbage Kimchi were taken from books, daily newspapers and magazines from 1930 to 2014 and collected for comparison. The result of the study showed that the consumption and inclusion of dried red pepper powder in cabbage Kimchi increased. The average consumption of red pepper in the 1930s was 5.75 g, and the number went up to 8.83 g in the 1940s, to 13.8 g in the 1950s, and to 20.25 g in the 1960s. The amount dramatically increased from 1970 to 1980 (53.37 g) and kept rising until 2010 (71.26 g). The average consumption of red pepper in cabbage Kimchi in the 2010s is about 12 times that of the 1930s.

배추김치 제조 후 익힘 시간 및 김치 냉장고 저장 기간에 따른 김치의 위 암세포 증식 억제 효능 변화를 측정해 본 결과, 저장 30일 김치 시료 기준으로 익힘 과정을 거치지 않은 S0h 시료에 비하여 46시간의 익힘 과정을 거친 S46h 시료의 효능이 가장 우수하였고, 이어서 S47h, S48h 시료의 효능이 우수하였다. 그리고 S0h 경우는 상대적으로 암세포 증식 억제 효능이 가장 약하였다. 이는 적정 발효에 따른 발효 대사산물, 그리고 유산균 속 및 종 변화에 기인한 결과로 판단되며, 항암 효능 보유물질로 알려진 GABA의 농도와도 연관이 있을 수 있음을 제안해 주고 있다. 김치는 다양한 재료 유래의 기능성 물질, 대사산물 및 유산균을 보유하고 있는 발효식품이다. 따라서 본 연구는 김치제조 후 최적의 숙성 시간과 저장 기간을 선택하면 항암 기능성이 증진된 김치를 섭취할 수 있는 것을 제안해 주고 있다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with four types of salt (Solar salt, Flower salt, Hanju salt, and Roasted salt) at two different concentrations (10, 15%) during storage. The quality characteristics of kimchi were examined by investigating acid production, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, salinity, texture, and color characteristics. Baechu kimchi was fermented for 18 days at 10oC. The pH and total acidity did not change during storage according to type and concentration of salt. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was not affected by type of salt, whereas it was inhibited at 15% salt concentration after 9 days of fermentation. In the quantitative descriptive analysis of sensory properties, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in term of overall acceptability (p<0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference by type of salt. For texture characteristics, hardness of kimchi prepared with 10% salt was significantly higher than that with 20% salt. For color characteristics, L value (brightness) and b values (yellowness) of kimchi prepared with 10% salt increased during fermentation, whereas a value (redness) did not change by type and concentration of salt. The results of this study show that there were no considerable differences in quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with various types and concentrations of salt. However, Solar salt resulted in more favorable sensory properties and salinity of kimchi than any other types. Further, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in terms of overall acceptability, growth of lactic acid bacteria, salinity, texture, and color characteristics.

배추김치 제조 후 익힘 시간을 달리한 후 김치냉장고에 저 장한 김치의 이화학적 특성과 오르니틴 함량 변화를 조사하 기 위하여 익힘 및 저장 기간별 pH, 산도, 유산균 수 변화, 유산균 속 분포 및 오르니틴 함량 변화 패턴을 조사하였다. 배추김치는 조제 후 15℃에서 각 시간 별로 익힘 과정을 거 친 후 －1.4℃의 김치냉장고에 60일까지 보관하였다. 본 실험 에 사용한 시료는 익힘시간에 따라서 32 hr(S1), 36 hr(S2), 40 hr(S3), 44 hr(S4), 48 hr(S5)라 명명하였다. 김치냉장고 보관 모드로 전환하기 전 15℃에서의 저장 시간을 상대적으로 길 게 준 S5구에서 S1, S2구에 비하여 pH 감소가 좀 더 큰 것으 로 나타났으며, 보관 시간이 지남에 따라 pH가 4.3~4.4까지 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 젖산농도의 경우 15℃에서의 저 장 시간을 상대적으로 길게 준 S5구에서 젖산농도 증가가 좀 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 보관 시간이 지남에 따라 젖산농도 는 0.70~0.74까지 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 유산균의 경우 모든 시료가 저장 초기 20일 경과까지 수가 급격히 증가하였 고, 20일 이후에는 S4, S5 시료가 S1, S2, S3 시료에 비하여 좀 더 증대되는 경향을 보였다. 유산균 속은 저장 40일 기준 으로 S5 시료에서 바이셀라 속 균이 50% 이상 검출되었다. 오르니틴 함량은 모든 시료에서 저장 40~50일차에 최대치를 보였으며, S4, S5 시료의 경우 오르니틴 함량은 100그램당 최 대 130 ㎎과 170 ㎎까지 증대되었다. 그러나 S1, S2, S3 시료 의 경우는 오르니틴 함량 증대 폭이 상대적으로 적었다. 이들 결과로부터 김치냉장고 조건에서 김치를 저장하기 전 15℃ 조 건에서 44~48시간을 발효한 후 김치냉장고에 40~50일 보관하 면 김치 100그램 중의 오르니틴 함량을 최대 130~170 ㎎까지 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 그 중에서도 S5 (48 hr) 조건이 가장 우수한 것으로 조사되었다.

본 연구는 들기름을 농도별로 배추김치에 첨가하여 6주의 발효기간 동안 pH, 산도, 젖산균수, 산가, 과산화물가, 색도 등의 품질특성과 관능특성을 조사하였다. 또한, 들깨로부터 볶지 않고 냉압착한 들기름과 볶은 후 가열 압착한 들기름을 같은 농도별로 배추김치에 첨가하여 분석하였다. 모든 실험군에서 발효가 진행됨에 따라 pH는 감소하였으며 6주 후에는 최적 pH인 4.48~5.38 범위였고, 산도도 점차 증가하여 1.20~2.09% 범위였다. 젖산균 수는 발효 0~1주 사이에 급격하게 증가하여 발효 6주에는 4.48~6.04 log CFU/g에 도달했으며, 냉압착 및 가열압착 들기름을 첨가하였을 때 젖산균이 더 증가하였다. 산가와 과산화물가는 발효기간에 따라 점차 증가하였으며, 들기름 첨가비율이 높아짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 가열압착 들기름 첨가군에 비해 모든 실험군에서 발효 기간 경과와 더불어 색도 중 L 값과 a 값은 점차 증가하였으며 b 값은 1주까지는 증가하다 점차 감소하는 경향이었다. 들기름을 첨가하여 제조한 김치의 관능평가를 한 결과 5% 냉압착 들기름을 첨가하였을 때 관능성이 가장 우수하였다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하면 배추김치 제조 시 냉압착한 들기름의 첨가는 발효 시 유용한 젖산균을 증가시키고 관능특성을 향상하는 것으로 판단된다.

The removal amount of pesticide residue which were remained in baechu (Chinese cabbage) and perilla leaf were measured during the preparation process of kimchi. The amounts of diazinon, procymidone and endosulfan applied to chinese cabbage were 9.18 ± 0.03 mg/kg, 22.27 ± 0.22 mg/kg and 10.46 ± 0.02 mg/kg respectively. When chinese cabbage was brined with 10% salt solution for 12 hours, the removal rates of three pesticides were 22.5%, 25.3% and 0.6% for diazinon, procymidone and endosulfan, respectively. When chinese cabbage was brined and rinsed 3 times with water, the removal rates of three pesticides were 69.9%, 85.6% and 11.2% for diazinon,procymidone and endosulfan, respectively. When kimchi was prepared and fermented for 28 days at 4oC, the removal rates of three pesticides were 79.4%, 94.4% and 21.0% for diazinon, procymidone and endosulfan, respectively. The relative percentages of removal dose of pesticides during brining were 28.4%, 26.9% and 3.2% for diazinon, procymidone and endosulfan, respectively and which were 59.7%, 63.8% and 50.4% during rinsing and which were 11.9%,9.3% and 46.4% during fermentation, respectively. The amounts of diazinon, procymidone and endosulfan applied to perilla leaf were 18.11 ± 0.62 mg/kg, 31.80 ± 0.33 mg/kg and 12.01 ± 0.01 mg/kg, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various kinds of commercial salts, including sun-dried (Korea), purified, and traditional salts on the chemical and sensory properties and growth of microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation. Kimchi was prepared by salting in 10% NaCl solution for 2 hours followed by addition of other spices and fermentation at 20℃. The decreases in pH suggested that kimchi fermentation can be classified into 3 steps: initial, intermediate, and final stages. In texture analysis, the hardness and fracturability of traditional salt kimchi were higher than those of regular kimchi. From the sensory evaluation test for kimchi, sensory scores were high for traditional salt addition, especially taste, overall preference and texture. Among various microorganisms related to kimchi fermentation, the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pichia membranaefaciens and Escherichia coli were examined. Based on the conditions of kimchi fermentation, a 2% and 5% concentration of each salt were studied. Also, the conditions of the cultures at 37℃ were examined. There was no considerable difference in the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Escherichia coli in the different kinds of salts. However, the growth of Pichia membranaefaciens was strongly inhibited by a 5% concentration of traditional salt during incubation at 37℃.
