Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the quality characteristics of kimchi in terms of garlic content (0~4.5%). Kimchi was made at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks, and pH, acidity, organic acid content, free sugar content, microbial counts, flavor pattern, and sensory characteristics were measured. The results show that kimchi containing garlic had a higher pH and lower acidity during fermentation than control kimchi without garlic. Principal component analysis enabled differentiation of the flavor pattern of kimchi according to fermentation period and garlic content. Addition of garlic to kimchi significantly decreased the numbers of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria for 2 weeks after production. The numbers of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly up to 2 weeks during fermentation and thereafter decreased gradually. Coliform counts were higher in the control than in kimchi containing garlic, whereas there was no detection after 4 weeks. Yeast and mold counts decreased significantly with increasing garlic content during the initial fermentation stage. Counts could not be detected in kimchi containing garlic. After 4 weeks, counts could not be detected in kimchi without garlic. Among kimchi with different garlic contents, fermentation was slower in kimchi with high garlic content; scores for off-odor and off-note taste were lower as well.

마늘의 함량에 따른 김치를 제조하여 품질 특성을 비교한 결과 마늘의 함량이 적을수록 pH의 감소와 산도의 증가 속도가 빠른 경향을 보여 김치의 적숙기에 빠르게 도달하였다. 또한, 마늘을 첨가하지 않을 경우 초기 균수가 많아서 발효가 빨리 진행되고, 마늘의 함량이 증가할수록 초기 발효가 느리게 진행되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 유기산과 유리당의 변화에서도 확인할 수 있었다. 유기산의 경우 초기 김치에서는 acetic acid를 제외한 5종의 유기산이 검출되었으며, lactic acid와 acetic acid는 저장기간 동안 증가하였다. 특히 초기 김치에서 citric acid는 마늘 함량이 많을수록 그 함량이 많았으며, lactic acid는 마늘 함량이 많을수록 그 함량이 적게 나타났다. 주된 유리당은 maltose, glucose, galactose, fructose, mannitol이었으며, 모든 처리군에서 glucose와 fructose가 가장 큰 비중을 차지하였다. Glucose는 저장 초기에 많이 감소한 반면에 fructose는 저장 초기보다는 후기에 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 향기 패턴은 마늘의 함량이 높을수록 제1주성분인 F1이 negative(-)에서 positive(+)로 이동하는 경향을 나타내었을 뿐만 아니라 처리군 간의 차이도 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 관능적 특성에서는 마늘 첨가군의 경우 마늘의 함량이 많을수록 초기 발효 진행이 느려 이취, 이미의 점수는 낮고, 조직감에서 높은 점수를 받았다. 따라서 김치 제조 시 마늘을 첨가하지 않은 것보다 첨가하는 것이, 그리고 그 함량이 많을수록 김치의 적숙기에 늦게 도달하는 것으로 생각한다.
