Abstract
Kimchi was fermented in permeability-controlled polyethylene containers, in glazed onggi (Korean ethnic earthenware) or glass bottles at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. During 4 weeks of storage, kimchi fermented in the permeability-controlled container showed a stable fermentation pattern, in terms of changes in pH and acidity, compared with kimchi fermented in the other containers. With respect to changes in bacterial counts, kimchi fermented in polyethylene containers showed vigorous multiplication of lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactobacillus sp., but slow growth of total aerobic bacteria. The springiness of kimchi fermented in the polyethylene containers was optimal (about 10% more than that of glass bottle-fermented kimchi), and the overall acceptability and hardness of container-fermented kimchi were excellent upon sensory evaluation. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity of kimchi fermented in polyethylene containers was also greater (91%) than that of kimchi fermented in glazed onggi (73%) or glass bottles (63%). The $O_2$ and $CO_2$ permeabilities of the polyethylene containers were higher (458 and $357\;mmol\;h^{-1}\;m^{-2}\;atm^{-1}$, respectively) than were those of the other containers; the permeability ratio was 0.8. Glass bottles showed no permeance. The results indicate that permeability-controlled polyethylene containers may be used for kimchi fermentation.
