삼채뿌리분말 첨가 김치의 품질 특성

요약

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of kimchi with Allium hookeri powder (AHP) added during eight weeks fermentation at 4℃. AHP was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, and 5% (w/w). The quality characteristics of the AHR-added kimchi were determined by measuring pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar, microbial amounts, and sensory properties. The vitamin B1 and vitamin C contents of the Allium hookeri root were 0.04 mg/100 g and 5.76 mg/100 g, respectively. As for the mineral contents, the K content was highest, followed by the Ca, Mg, and Fe contents. The pH was higher in the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP than in the kimchi without AHP during the eight-week fermentation. The salinity ranged from 2.02% to 2.37% over the eight weeks. The microbial cells and lactobacilli increased rapidly throughout the fermentation in the exponential phase and hardly increased in the stationary phase. In the sensory evaluations, the overall acceptance, taste, and texture of the kimchi with 1% AHP added were highest. In conclusion, the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP generally showed better quality than the kimchi without AHP. Especially, the kimchi with 1% AHP had the best scores in quality and overall acceptance during the fermentation.
