This study was carried out to investigate changes in the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Oiji(Korean pickled cucumbers) prepared with different salts(bay, refined and purified salt). The pH of Oiji prepared with bay salt was higher than those prepared with refined and purified salts. The salt concentration of Oiji prepared with purified salt showed the highest value during fermentation period. The cutting forces at middle part of Oiji prepared with bay and refined salts were higher than those of raw cucumber, and bay salt resulted in the highest force during fermentation period. The result of sensory evaluation indicated significant differences in color, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptability among salts at 5% level. Oiji prepared with bay salt showed the highest score in most the sensory characteristics.

국내산 정제염과 천일염 그리고 수입산 정제염과 천일염 등 6가지 소금에 대하여 안전성을 분석하고, 김치를 제조하여 숙성시키며 품질을 평가한 결과, 실험에 사용한 모든 6가지의 소금에서 DEHP가 검출되었고, 특히 국내산 천일염과 중국산 천일염의 함량이 비교적 높았다. 페로시안화이온과 중금속(Cd, Pb, As, Hg)은 검출되지 않았으며, 사분의 경우는 모든 소금에서 미량 함유되어 있어 식염으로서 안전하였다. 동일한 6가지 소금에 대하여 김치를 제조하여 품질을 분석한 결과 pH는 감소하였고, 산도와 염도는 발효되면서 증가하는 추세였으며, 젖산균 수는 꾸준히 증가하다가 저장 21일째부터 소폭 감소하였다. 관능평가 결과 저장 28일째에는 수입산염보다 국내산염에서 신내가 강하다고 평가되었으며 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 국내산염이 수입산염보다 전반적인 기호도가 높았으나 처리구간 근소한 차이를 보일 뿐 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 즉, 본 연구에 사용한 소금은 식염으로서 모두 안전하였으며, 김치를 제조하여 품질을 분석한 결과 이화학적 평가, 젖산균 수 분석 및 관능평가에서 처리구간의 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다.

The nutritional value of kimchi is gaining global focus along with new possibilities and uses for the various salts used in making kimchi. The purpose of the study is to conduct research on the uses of various salts and investigate the consumer recognition of salt use in kimchi preparation. The findings are from 824 consumers over 19 years old from 15 locations who participated in this questionnaire via one-to-one interviews from September 23rd to October 14th, 2009. The results of the questionnaire show that when customers cooked, 71.9% used solar salt, 62.2% used flower salt (refined salt), 27.4% used Hanju salt (purified salt), 59.0% used processed salt (roasted salt), 47.4% used bamboo salt, 69.4% used Mat salt (table salt), and 18.2% used low sodium salt. The most preferred origin of salts was domestic. Most customers salted Chinese cabbage while preparing kimchi. Consumers showed low perceptions of different salts used in kimchi production, and did not exactly recognize the characteristics of various salts. The preferences for domestic and solar salts were very high, while the preference for sea salts was low. In conclusion, various types of salts could improve the quality of kimchi. This study hopes to help consumers produce better kimchi to match different needs. Therefore, attention should be paid to promoting the characteristics of various salts influencing the quality of kimchi.
