Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to cultivate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a by-product in the fermentation of kimchi through the use of Chinese cabbage leaves. A method to reduce the initial number of microorganisms using citric acid and ethanol to wash cabbage leaves was investigated. In this experiment, Chinese cabbage leaves were washed using a mixture of 3% citric acid and 7% ethanol and the washed cabbage leaves were juiced and used as a sample. The total microorganisms of kimchi cabbage juice (KCJ) was reduced from log 6.53 CFU/g to log 3.69 CFU/g by washing with citric acid and ethanol, and lactic acid bacteria from log 4.40 CFU/g to log 2.01 CFU/g. The salinity of KCJ was appropriate for the growth of lactic acid bacteria but the pH was too low. The yield of washing, juice extraction, and total were 80.82%, 79.32%, and 64.11%, respectively. KCJ made by washing with citric acid and ethanol was good for the culture broth of lactic acid bacteria.

배추즙을 유산균 배양 배지로 사용하기 위하여 배춧잎을 구연산 3%, 에탄올 7% 혼합용액으로 10분간 교반하여 세척하고 3분간 탈수하여 착즙한 결과, 세척수율은 80.82%, 착즙수율은 79.32%로 전체수율이 64.11% 이었고, 배추즙의 일반세균수가 3.69 log CFU/g으로 2.84 log CFU/g 감소하였고 유산균수가 2.01 log CFU/g으로 2.43 log CFU/g 낮아졌으며, 염도가 0.26%였고, pH가 2.98로 변화하여 상온에서 8일간 보관하면서 pH와 미생물수의 변화가 유의적이지 않아서 유산균 배양용 배지로 적합할 것으로 보인다. 또한 배춧잎은 구연산-에탄올 용액으로 세척하는 것이 구연산-에탄올-소금 용액으로 세척하는 것보다 수율과 미생물 감균효과가 더 높았다.
