Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the changes in the fermentation characteristics of Kimchi prepared with various salts (Korean solar salt, Chinese solar salt, washed and dehydrated salt, purified salt and a processed salt). Acidity appeared to increase most rapidly in Kimchi prepared with Korean solar salt and reached higher level. Total microbial count slowly increased at the beginning of fermentation and reached maximum on 6 days, then decreased slowly. The number of lactic acid bacteria was rapidly increased up to $4{\sim}6$ days, and thereafter decreased slowly. In conclusion, any significant differences in fermentation characteristics analyzed was not observed in Kimchi prepared with various salts except acidity.
