Abstract

This study examined the safety of various salts (domestic purified salt, domestic solar salt, imported purified salt, imported solar salt) as well as the effects on the quality of kimchi fermented during 28 days at $4^{\circ}C$. All salts contained DEHP, but ferrocyanide ion and heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As, Hg) were not detected. Following fermentation, the pH of kimchi was decreased during storage, but total acidity and salinity values increased. There was no considerable differences between the various salts. As the fermentation period increased, the lactic acid bacterial counts increased remarkably. Regarding the sensory characteristics of kimchi during storage, the appearance of domestic purified salt was better than that of domestic solar salt following fermentation. Imported salts produced a strong salty taste initially, but domestic refined salt had the highest salty taste at 7 days. Therefore, there were no considerable differences between the various salts.

국내산 정제염과 천일염 그리고 수입산 정제염과 천일염 등 6가지 소금에 대하여 안전성을 분석하고, 김치를 제조하여 숙성시키며 품질을 평가한 결과, 실험에 사용한 모든 6가지의 소금에서 DEHP가 검출되었고, 특히 국내산 천일염과 중국산 천일염의 함량이 비교적 높았다. 페로시안화이온과 중금속(Cd, Pb, As, Hg)은 검출되지 않았으며, 사분의 경우는 모든 소금에서 미량 함유되어 있어 식염으로서 안전하였다. 동일한 6가지 소금에 대하여 김치를 제조하여 품질을 분석한 결과 pH는 감소하였고, 산도와 염도는 발효되면서 증가하는 추세였으며, 젖산균 수는 꾸준히 증가하다가 저장 21일째부터 소폭 감소하였다. 관능평가 결과 저장 28일째에는 수입산염보다 국내산염에서 신내가 강하다고 평가되었으며 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 국내산염이 수입산염보다 전반적인 기호도가 높았으나 처리구간 근소한 차이를 보일 뿐 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 즉, 본 연구에 사용한 소금은 식염으로서 모두 안전하였으며, 김치를 제조하여 품질을 분석한 결과 이화학적 평가, 젖산균 수 분석 및 관능평가에서 처리구간의 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다.
