Abstract

Eleven salt replacements$(SR-1{\sim}SR-11)$ composed of NaCl, KCl, $MgSO_4,\;CaSO_4$, lysine or glutamic acid were prepared and used for the preparation of low salt Kimchi instead of NaCl alone. Some chemical and microbiological characteristics of the low-salt Kimchi with 2.5% salt replacement were determined during the fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH decrease and acidity increase of low-salt Kimchi were slower than those of control Kimchi with NaCl alone. The total number of microorganism in SR-8 Kimchi added L-lysine was lower than that of control Kimchi until 5 days of fermentation. However, there was no difference in the numer of lactic bacteria between low-salt Kimchi and control Kimchi. The growth of yeasts was found to be slow in low-salt Kimchi with SR-8. The low-salt Kimchi with SR-3 showed the hardest texture among the prepared Kimchi. The overall acceptabilities of low-salt Kimchi prepared with SR-1, SR-3 composed of NaCl, KCl, $MgSO_4,\;CaSO_4$, and SR-10 added 0.2% glutamic acid to the elements were similar to the control Kimchi.

소금과 대체 가능성이 있는 KCl, $MgSO_4,\;MgCl_2,\;CaSO_4$를 일정비율로 첨가하고 L-lysine, glutamic acid, succinic acid를 증미료로 첨가하여 대체염을 제조하였으며, 대체염으로 저염김치를 제조하여 pH, 산도, 총균수, 젖산균수, 효모수 및 관능평가를 통해 저염 김치의 발효 특성을 조사하였다. 대체염으로 제조된 저염 김치는 대조군(NaCl 2.5%)에 비해 pH는 높게 나타났고, 산도는 발효 초기에는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나 발효 3일 이후에는 대조군에 비해 대체염으로 제조된 저염 김치가 산도가 다소 높게 나타났다. 총균수의 경우 대체염 중 SR-8으로 제조된 저염 김치가 발효 5일경까지 대조군에 비해 균수 증가가 적었고, 젖산균의 경우는 저염 김치간에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 대조군과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 효모균수의 경우 대조군, 저염 김치 모두 발효 5일까지 균수가 크게 증가한 후 완만한 균수를 보였고, 저염 김치중 대체염 SR-8으로 제조된 김치가 대조군 보다 효모 증식이 다소 느린 것으로 나타났다. 맛, 질감, 전반적인 기호도에 관하여 평가하였을 때 맛, 전반적인 기호도는 시료간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 질감은 시료간 유의적인 차이가 있었으며 대체염 SR-3으로 제조된 저염 김치가 가장 단단하여 대조군 및 대체염 SR-6, SR-8, SR-9으로 제조된 저염 김치와 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 전반적인 기호도 면에서는 대체염 SR-1, SR-3, SR-10으로 제조된 저염 김치가 대조군과 가장 유사한 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 대체염으로 제조한 저염 김치 중 쓴맛과 이미를 보인 저염 김치를 제외하고 대조군에 비해 관능적인 면에서 차이가 없었으며, NaCl 함량의 감소로 인한 김치의 발효가 촉진되지 않았으므로 대체염을 이용한 저염 김치의 가능성을 보여주었다.
