Abstract

In order to examine the effect of the combination of fermented temperature and time on Baechu kimchi in a kimchi refrigerator, Baechu kimchi was fermented at four different modes of the fermentation temperature and time for 16 weeks and analyzed the properties of Baechu kimchi. The pH, Baechu kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ and Baechu kimchi fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 6 days/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$, decreased rapidly during first week and then decreased very slowly. The hardness and the chewiness of Baechu kimchi fermented at high temperature were higher and the values were decreased when the fermentation continued. In sensory evaluation, carbonated flavor in Baechu kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ was the best after 4 weeks, and Baechu kimchi fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days or 6 days/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ was the best after 8 weeks. The scores for sourness were the highest on 8 weeks and 12 weeks in kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ and fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days or 6 days/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$, respectively. The sensory scores for overall acceptability were the best on 4 weeks and 8 week in kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ and fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days or 6 days/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$, respectively. Total microbial count was increased as the temperature of fermentation increased. Counts of Leuconostoc spp. reached to the highest after 6 days and counts of Lactobacillus spp reached to the highest after 5 days in kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$. From these results, it was concluded that it required 4 weeks to eat most edible Baechu kimchi in kimchi refrigerator fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$, and 8 weeks to eat most edible Baechu kimchi in kimchi refrigerator fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days or 6 days/stored at $-1^{\circ}C$.

김치냉장고에서 배추김치에 가장 적합한 발효온도와 시간 및 저장온도를 결정하기 위하여 발효와 저장 온도-시간 조합을 달리하여 16주 동안 저장하면서 배추김치의 품질 특성 변화를 분석하였다. pH의 변화는 발효온도가 높을수록 pH가 크게 감소하여 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합과 $5^{\circ}C$ 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합의 경우 초기 1주 동안 pH가 크게 감소한 이후에는 아주 서서히 감소하였다. Hardness와 chewiness는 발효온도가 높을수록 더 낮은 값을 보였는데 발효가 진행됨에 따라 서서히 감소하는 경향을 나타냈고 특히 초기 4주 동안 크게 감소하였다. 관능적 특성에서 탄산미는 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 4주. $5^{\circ}C$ 3일 발효 또는 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 8주 후가 가장 좋았다. 신맛은 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 8주. $5^{\circ}C$ 3일 또는 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 12주후에 강한 신맛을 주었고 무발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 16주 후까지 신맛이 서서히 증가되었다. 따라서 총 기호도는 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 4주. $5^{\circ}C$ 3일 또는 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 8주 후가 가장 좋았다. 총 균수는 발효온도가 높을수록 높았고 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합의 경우 5일 후에 $4.47{\times}10^8$으로 최고치를 나타낸 후에 16주 후에는 $1.51{\times}10^5$까지 감소하였다. 젖산균 수는 $5^{\circ}C$ 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합의 경우 Leuconostoc은 6일 후에 $1.05{\times}109$으로 Lactobacillus는 5일 후에 $1.35{\times}109$으로 최고치를 나타내 $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합의 경우보다 많은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터, $20^{\circ}C$ 24시간 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합의 김치냉장고에서 배추김치는 4주가 최적 가식기간이었고, $5^{\circ}C$ 6일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합과 $5^{\circ}C$ 3일 발효/$-1^{\circ}C$ 저장 조합에서는 8주가 최적 가식기간인 것으로 분석되었다.
