Abstract

Kimchi was prepared with 5, 10 or 20%(w/v) Chinese radish and ripened at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. Acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and several volatile odor components in kimchi were examined. The effects of freeze-drying on the quality of kimchi were also studied. The pH of the control (kimchi prepared without Chinese radish) was 4.31 and gradually decreased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. The acidity of the control was 0.673% and gradually increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Viable counts of lactic acid bacteria in the samples did not differ significantly from the control. The pH of freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi slightly decreased as the amount of Chinese radish increased while its acidity gradually increased. The viable count of lactic acid bacteria of freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi did not differ significantly as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Overall acceptability and taste of kimchi and freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi generally improved by the addition of 10% or 20% Chinese radish. Six volatile odor components including ethanol and five sulfur-containing components (SCC) were identified from unripened kimchi, and the level of two SCCs increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Eight volatile odor components, ethanol and seven SCCs, were identified from ripened kimchi and the level of five SCCs increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Diallyl sulfide and methyl trisulfide were newly detected from the ripened samples, but not from the unripened kimchi. Freeze-drying substantially reduced all of the volatile odor components from kimchi. Five volatile odor components including ethanol and four SCCs were identified from the freeze-dried/dehydrated samples.

본 연구의 목적은 무의 첨가농도가 각각 다른 김치를 제조하여 김치의 품질특성 즉, 젖산균의 생육과 산생성, 관능성 및 휘발성 냄새성분을 조사하고, 아울러 동결건조가 무첨가김치의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 무의 첨가가 젖산균의 산생성과 생육에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. 숙성시료의 pH는 표준시료(무를 첨가하지 않은 시료)의 경우는 4.31이었으나 무의 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 pH가 다소 저하하여 20% 첨가시료의 경우는 4.21이었다. 산도는 이와 반대로 0.673%에서 0.743%로 증가하였으며, 젖산균수는 무의 첨가로 변화가 없었다. 한편, 동결건조후 복원된 시료의 pH는 표준시료가 4.59인데 비하여 20%첨가시료는 4.50으로 다소 저하하였고, 산도는 0.287%에서 0.376%로 증가하였으며, 젖산균수는 시료사이에 차이가 없었다. 관능검사의 결과를 보면 무 10% 또는 20%의 첨가로 숙성시료 또는 복원시료의 전반적인 기호도와 맛이 대체적으로 향상되었다. 휘발성 냄새성분의 분석결과를 보면, 숙성되지 않은 시료(0일 시료)의 경우는 ethanol과 5개의 함유황성분이 확인되었으며, 무의 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 함유황성분 2개의 함량이 증가하였다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 숙성된 시료에서는 ethanol과 7개의 함유황성분이 확인되었으며, 무의 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 함유황성분 5개의 함량이 증가하였다. 미숙성시료와 비교하면 diallyl sulfide와 methyl trisulfide가 새로이 생성되었다. 동결건조에 의하여 김치 또는 무 첨가김치의 모든 휘발성 냄새성분이 현저하게 감소하였고, 동결건조된 제품에는 ethanol과 4개의 함유황성분이 검출되었다.
