김치의 주재료인 배추와 부재료를 한가지씩 첨가한 각 시료들을 $12{sim}16^{circ}C$에서 숙성시키면서, 유기산, 이산화탄소, alcohol 및 카보닐 화합물의 함량 변화를 측정하였고, 관능 검사를 실시하였다. 비휘발성 유기산은 lactic succinic, fumaric, malic acid가 분리되었고, 휘발성 유기산은 acetic, formic, propionic, butyric, valeric n-heptanoic acid 등이 분리되었으며, 카보닐 화합물은 acetaldehyde와 acetone이 분리되었다. Lactic acid는 숙성 시간에 따라 점차 증가했고, 고춧가루, 마늘, 파가 첨가된 김치에 많았다. Acetic acid도 발효가 진행됨에 따라 함량이 증가하였으며, 특히 마늘이 첨가된 김치에서 두드러졌다. 이산화탄소의 함량은 마늘이 첨가된 김치에 많았으며, alcohol류는 전 시료에서 ethanol 만이 확인되었다. Acetaldehyde와 acetone은 김치의 off-flavor와 직접적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
The changes of the content of organic acids, carbon dioxide, alcohols and carbonyl compounds of the various Kimchis which were made of cabbage with green onion, garlic, ginger or red pepper and fermented at $12^{circ}C-16^{circ}C$ were investigated. Nonvolatile organic acids identified were lactic, succinic, fumaric and malic acid. Volatile organic acids identified were acetic, formic, propionic, butyric, valeric, n-caproic and n-heptanoic acid. Carbonyl compounds identified were acetaldehyde and acetone. The content of lactic acid was increased with fermentation, and higher in Kimchis containing red pepper, garlic and green onion. The content of acetic acid was increased with fermentation, especially in Kimchi containing garlic. The content of carbon dioxide was higher in Kimchi containing garlic. Alcohols identified in all Kimchis was only ethanol. Carbonyl compounds had no direct effect on off-flavor of Kimchi.
