Abstract

The aging degree of Kimchi fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ for 29 days was evaluated by the correlation between the flavor and the acidity analysis. The Kimchi fermentation induced a gradual reduction in pH and an increase in acidity from $0.26\%$ (initial) to $1.15\%$ (29th day). Flavor pattern of the fermented Kimchi was obtained by the electronic nose system with 12 metal oxide sensors. Electronic nose analysis could differentiate the flavor profiles of Kimchi according to the fermentation periods, making 5 group in the principal component analysis (PCA) plot Therefore, aging degree of Kimchi could be differentiated by flavor patterns analysed by electronic nose.

배추김치의 발효숙성을 $4^{\circ}C$에서 29일간 실시하면서 pH 및 적정산도 측정과 전자코를 활용한 향기성분 패턴 분석을 실행하였다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 숙성한 배추김치의 pH는 저장 초기에는 큰 변화를 보이지 않다가 숙성 후 14일째부터 낮아졌고, 적정산도는 초기 $0.26\%$에서 16일째에 $0.43\%$까지 일정하다가 이후부터 급증하여 29일에는 $1.15\%$에 도달하였다. 전자코 분석 결과, 배추김치의 향기성분 패턴은 숙성기간이 늘어나면서 제1주성분 값이 negative에서 Positive로 이동하는 경향을 보였다. 29일간숙성 중의 모든 배추김치 향은 전자코의 제1주성분과 제2주성분 값으로 나타낸 그림 상에 크게 5 그룹으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 즉, 4일, 6-14일, 16일, 21-25일과 29일로 구분할 수 있고, 이를 pH와 적정산도의 결과와 함께 고려하여,4일, 6-14일(이상 산도에 따라 구분한 1기), 16일(산도에 따라 구분한 2기), 21-25일과 29일(이상 산도에 따라 구분한 3기)로 구분할 수 있었다. 따라서 배추김치의 이화학적 성질분석과 향기성분 패턴 분석을 위한 전자코 실험결과 숙성온도와 숙성기간에 따른 배추김치의 숙성도를 예측할 수 있었다.
