Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maesil(Prunus mume) on Dongchimi fermentation. Dongchimi with 0, 2, 4 and 6%(w/v) maesil was fermented at 10℃ for 45 days. The pH of Dongchimi decreased slowly in all samples during fermentation. Total acidity of Dongchimi increased gradually during fermentation and total acidity of Dongchimi with maesil was higher than that of control. Redox potentials decreased until 30 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. Reducing sugar content increased in the initial stage of the fermentation periods, and then it decreased gradually, the reducing sugar content of Dongchimi with maesil was higher than that of control. The content of total vitamin C was much higher in Dongchimi with maesil. In color measurement, lightness value decreased gradually, redness and yellowness values increased gradually during fermentation but decreased thereafter. The content of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) decreased as the fermentation proceeded but the content of hydrochloric acid soluble pectin(HCISP) and sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(NaSP) increased.
