Although Korean people like Kimchi very much, Kimchi is generally limited in sodium restricted diet of hospital food service operation. The use of Kimchi in sodium restricted diet can improve appetite and nutritional status of patients. In this study, four kinds of Kimchi(Kwail-Nabakji, susan-Nabakji, suk-Gakduki, Oi-Gakduki) were Prepared and analyzed for their Sodium contents. the preference of Kwail-Nabakji and susan-Nabakji was compared with low sodium Juciy kimchi provided in the hospital in 25 patients who were restricted in sodium intake. The result were as follows: 1. In 2 kinds of low sodium juicy Kimchi that salt not added sodium contents of kwail-Nabakji(fruti-juicy Kimchi) and susan-nabakji(ginseng-Kimchi) were 17.8 mg/100g a 11.0 mg/100g, respectively. 2. The otehr 2 kimchies were prepared by adding dilute salted shrimp broth. suk-Gakd uki(boild radish-Kimchi) and Oi-Gakduki(cumcuber-Kimchi) had 89.8 mg/100g and 111.6 mg/100g sodium, respectively. 3. Na/k ratios of 4 kinds of low sodium kimchi were in the range of 0.34-0.62 which were lower than that of general Kimchies. 4. The patients preferred kwil-nabakji and susan-nabakji to low sodium juicy Kimchi provided in the hospital, and most liked Kwai-Nabakju. Therefore low sodium Kimchies can be recommended in sodium restricted diet because they have lower sodium contents then general Kimchies.

In Western countries, kimchi, the Korean traditional fermented cabbage, is considered to be a healthy. However, it is one of the main sources of the high sodium content of the Korean diet. In order to decrease the sodium content, we manufactured a low-sodium kimchi (LK, salinity 1.0%) and 4 additional low-sodium kimchi starters in which each of 4 lactic acid bacteria (Lb. sakei 1, Lb. sakei 2, Lb. palntarum and W. koreensis) were added. The LKL1 to LKL4 samples were prepared by adding 4 single LAB starters, each with an inoculum size of $10^6CFU/g$, when the cabbage was mixed with kimchi sauce. The kimchi starters were fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ until reaching 0.5% acidity, and then stored at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ until reaching 0.75% acidity. The pH and acidity of the starter kimchi changed more rapidly in the early phase of fermentation (up to 0.75% acidity) than control low-sodium kimchi. After the acidity of the kimchi starters reached 0.75% it remained constant. As the fermentation progressed, the total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria concentrations in the kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 1 were the same as in the control low-sodium kimchi. The low-sodium kimchi fermentation of the kimchi starter with added Lb. palntarum progressed differently due to a difference in acid resistance. The kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 2 had an overall liking score that was slightly higher than that of the control low-sodium kimchi due to a lower off-flavor.

We tested the effects of dietary intake of freeze-dried Korean traditional fermented cabbage (generally known as kimchi) with varying amounts of sodium on blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), as a control group, received a regular AIN-76 diet, and the SHRs were divided into four groups. The SHR group was fed a regular diet without kimchi supplementation, the SHR-L group was fed the regular diet supplemented with low sodium kimchi containing 1.4% salt by wet weight, which was provided in a freeze-dried form, the SHR-M group was supplemented with medium levels of sodium kimchi containing 2.4% salt, and the SHR-H group was supplemented with high sodium kimchi containing 3.0% salt. Blood pressure was measured over 6 weeks, and cardiac hypertrophy was examined by measuring heart and left ventricle weights and cardiac histology. SHRs showed higher blood pressure compared to that in WKY rats, which was further elevated by consuming high sodium containing kimchi but was not influenced by supplementing with low sodium kimchi. None of the SHR groups showed significant differences in cardiac and left ventricular mass or cardiomyocyte size. Levels of serum biochemical parameters, including blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, sodium, and potassium were not different among the groups. Elevations in serum levels of aldosterone in SHR rats decreased in the low sodium kimchi group. These results suggest that consuming low sodium kimchi may not adversely affect blood pressure and cardiac function even under a hypertensive condition.

This study was conducted to provide basic data on the amount of sodium and the setting of permissible error range of actual measurement, which is a problem for cabbage kimchi nutrients subject to labeling. The sample targeted was baechu (Kimchi cabbage) kimchi, which might have a large variation in sodium content by part of kimchi. Kimchi samples were collected twice from eight companies by season (spring, summer, fall, and winter). The average sodium content in kimchi samples was 619±87 mg/100 g (range, 534±63 mg/100 g to 783±40 mg/100 g). The error in average annual sodium content of abandonment kimchi (maximum value difference compared to the minimum value) was 26.8 to 64.3%. Sodium contents in kimchi produced in spring and summer were relatively low. However, deviation between individuals was large. It was found that cases exceeding the permissible error (120%) standard varied depending on the criteria for setting the amount of sodium. In addition, due to seasonal differences, sodium content in kimchi exceeded 120% of the labeling value. Thus, it is necessary to set standards suitable for characteristics of kimchi to prevent unintentional violations of labeling standards by raw materials and manufacturing processes.

This study was done to explore the effect of Korean women's salt usage behavior on their sodium intake and excretion according to aging. Dietary sodium intake and salt usage behavior were analyzed to compare the difference between young and middle-aged women. One hundred fifty six young women and 77 middle-aged women without hypertension or any current medication were recruited. Body mass index, waist hip ratio, blood pressure were measured from each subject. Salt usage behaviors were surveyed with questionnaire, sodium intake with 24-hr recall method, and sodium excretion with spot urine. Middle-aged women were more obese than young women according to body mass index and waist hip ratio. Blood pressure was significantly higher for the middle-aged. Young women consumed more fats and middle-aged women more carbohydrates. Middle-aged women consumed more sodium and potassium, and excreted more sodium. Among questionnaire items, kimchi, soup or pot stew, or salted vegetables were found to be related with high sodium diet. Salted vegetables and salted nuts and potato chips were significantly correlated with young women's high sodium diet, while soy sauce on fried food, kimchi, salted vegetables accounted for middle-aged women's high sodium diet. With these results, we concluded that middle-aged women consumed more carbohydrates, less fat, and more sodium and potassium than young women. Middle-aged women frequently choose kimchi, soup or pot stew, or salted vegetables, and they contribute to high sodium intake. We recommend to choose low-salt kimchi, less soup or pot stew, and more fresh vegetables for lower sodium diet.

In order to develop and propagate the low sodium kimchi for preventing high sodium related diseases, the salinity, pH and acidity of cabbage(Bachu) kimchi sampled from home located in 6 big cities(Pusan, Daegoo, Kyungjoo, Daegoo, Jeonjoo, Daejeon, and Seoul) and commercial 6 manufacturers(A~F) distributed in markets were monitored and analyzed in the current study. Salinity was significantly (p<0.05) higher in homemade($3.03%{\pm}0.60$: 1.79~4.40) kimchi than in commercial($2.38%{\pm}0.60$:1.04~2.87) kimchi. Also, salinity was significantly(p<0.05) higher in Pusan($3.45{\pm}0.60%$) kimchi than in Kyungjoo($3.11{\pm}0.39$), Daegoo($3.19{\pm}0.42$), Jeonjoo($2.98{\pm}0.32$), Daejeon($3.00{\pm}0.38$) and Seoul ($2.52{\pm}0.46%$) kimchi. However, there was no significant difference(p<0.05) of salinity in 6 kinds of commercial kimchi. Related to this result, pH of kimchi from homemade and commercial was $4.40{\pm}0.29$(3.72~6.03) and $5.45{\pm}0.76$ (4.23~6.35), acidity of kimchi from homemade and commercial were $0.99{\pm}0.30%$(0.28~2.17) and $0.45{\pm}023$(0.17~0.93), respectively. Thus, the current study provides evidence that we may need to manufacture the low sodium kimchi because all homemade kimchi, especially Pusan and Daegoo kimchi and commercial brand kimchi contained over 2% salinity.

Purpose: This study investigated the salt and sodium content of lunch meals served at foodservice center for children in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Methods: Five foodservice centers for children registered at Center for Children's Foodservice Management were investigated for salt and sodium content and salt content contributing rate per meal. Results: Average salt content of every meal was $1.78{\pm}0.54g$, and average sodium content was $680.99{\pm}175.97mg$. The 98 of 100 meals served in 5 foodservice centers for children exceeded the dietary reference intakes for Koreans' recommendation for adequate intake of sodium per meal of 333 mg. The highest sodium content was 1,369.85 mg. Samples from lunch meals were classified into 14 food items and investigated for one serving size, salinity, salt and sodium content. Total average salinity was 0.31%, kimchi (0.49%), followed by soup (0.45%), hard-boiled foods (0.39%), stir-fried foods (0.39%), and fresh-vegetables (0.32%). Total average salt content was 0.39 g, the most salty dishes were one-dish rice noodles, followed by soup (0.65 g), hard-boiled foods (0.49 g), stir-fried foods (0.48 g), and broth stew (0.43 g). Samples from lunch meals were classified into 6 menu groups, including cooked rice, one-dish rice noodles, soup stew, main dish, side dish, and kimchi. Contributing rate for total average salt content was high in one-dish rice noodles (48.97%), soup stew (38.47%), main dish (27.28%), side dish (21.02%), kimchi (18.56%), and cooked rice (3.95%). Conclusion: These results can be useful for reducing total dietary sodium content to less than 333 mg in children who are provided lunch meals at foodservice centers. To achieve this goal, development of low-sodium recipes, and nutrition education for foodservice employees is required.

The average sodium intake of Koreans was reported to be 5,279.9 mg/day, which is one of the highest intake levels worldwide. The average Koreans intake 19.6% of sodium from kimchi, showing kimchi as the main contributor of sodium in this country (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2005). The sodium content of dishes that are frequently chosen by workers, and which were served by foodservice cafeterias were chemically analyzed. The average sodium content of one meal provided by 10 foodservice cafeterias was 2,777.7 mg. Twenty-one, one-dish-meals, frequently chosen by workers for a lunch menu, were collected at 4 different restaurants for each menu by one male, aged in the twenties and analyzed chemically also. Workers who eat lunch at a workplace cafeteria everyday could intake about 8 g of salt at a one-time meal and those who eat out for a one-dish-meal would intake 3-8 g of salt without counting sodium content from the side dishes. From these study results, one could estimate that over 10 g of salt could be possible for a single meal for workers who eat out everyday. A nationwide nutrition campaign and education for low salt diets for restaurant owners and foodservice providers should be seriously considered.

본 연구는 in vitro에서 여러 식이섬유의 Na흡착효과를 측정하였고 다시마내의 alginate의 Na 흡착능을 측정하고 다시마 첨가김치의 소금(Na) 흡착기능으로 저염 기능성 김치를 개발하려고 하였다. 여러 식이섬유의 표품으로 Na흡착효과를 시험한 결과, alginate와 sodium alginate, 그리고 다시마에서 추출한 alginate가 가장 큰 효과가 있었다. Sodium alginate는 산에서도 용해된 상태로써 위장에서부터 Na를 흡착하여 (29.9%) 소장까지 내려가지만(33.8%) alginate와 다시마에서 추출한 alginate는 소장의 알칼리 상태에서 32.3%와 27.4%의 Na 흡착능을 보였다. 다시마내의 alginate함량은 건다시마의 경우 건조물당 22.2%, 염장다시마는 21.9%, 30분 침지 후3회 세척한 염장다시마는 19.8%였다 관능검사를 통하여 염장 다시마를 세척한 다시마를 0.5$\times$3 cm 형태로 절단하여 김치레시피의 30%첨 가한 김치를 제조하였다. 다시마김치의 이화학적 특성, 젖산균의 변화 그리고 관능검사를 통해 그 특성을 살펴 본 결과 대조김치에 비해 환원당 함량과 젖산균이 많았으며 발효속도는 다소 빨랐고 특히 다시마첨가 김치는 대조김치와 다시마젓갈첨가 김치보다 탄산미가 많고 군덕내가 적은 것이 특징이었다. 다시마첨가김치는 대조김치에 비해 수용성 식이섬유의 양이 건조물당 6.2%에서 9.2%로 증가되었다.
