Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate the effects of preservatives (alcohol, adipic acid) and heat treatment $(40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C)$ for the prolongation of shelf-life on low-salt Kimchi. Low-salt Kimchi was prepared with salt replacements (NaCl 50%, KCl 36%, $MgSO_4$ 10%, $CaSO_4$ 3%, glutamic acid 0.2%). Chemical characteristics and microbiological parameters were monitored during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. When three kinds of preservative which were alcohol 2.0%, adipic acid 0.1% and their mixture were added to low-salt Kimchi, shelf-life of them were prolonged. To extend the shelf-life of low-salt Kimchi, when the heat treatment at $40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ were tried, heat treatment at $60^{\circ}C$ was superior than at $40^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation of low-salt Kimchi, the control was showed the best quality in the overall acceptability. And low-salt Kimchi treated at $40^{\circ}C$ showed the most similar characteristics to the control Kimchi.

식염 대체염 SR-10으로 제조한 저염 김치의 보존성 연장을 위한 일환으로 저염 김치에 alcohol과 adipic acid를 첨가제로 사용하였으며, 첨가제와 함께 배추 절임 단계에서 절임액의 온도를 $40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C$로 조정하여 저염 김치의 보존성 연장 효과를 검토하였다. 첨가제는 alcohol 2.0% 처리군과 adipic acid 0.1% 처리군, alcohol과 adipic acid 혼합 처리군으로 분류하였다. 첨가제를 처리한 저염 김치는 대조군에 비해 발효지연 효과를 보였으며 첨가제별 효과는 alcohol 단독 첨가시 보다 adipic acid 단독 첨가시가 효과가 더 좋았고 혼합 처리시는 그 효과가 더 상승됨을 보였다. 첨가제별 처리효과가 크게 차이가 없었기 때문에 기호도면에서 대조군과 유사한 결과를 보인 adipic acid를 열수 절임 저염 김치에 적용하였다. 열수 절임시 $40^{\circ}C$ 열처리 보다 $60^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 경우 저염 김치의 발효지연 효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 기호도면에서는 $40^{\circ}C$ 열처리시가 $60^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 저염 김치에 비해 대조군과 유사한 특성을 보였다.
