고추 자원을 최대 활용하고, 농가의 수익을 올리기 위하여, 청고춧가루로 김치를 제조한 후 홍고춧가루와 김치와 pH, 총산도, 생균수, 젖산균수 및 관능 등을 비교 검토하였다. 청고추 김치와 홍고추 김치의 pH 및 총산도의 변화 양상은 거의 같은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 김치의 적숙기 초기에서 말기까지, 생균수와 젖산균수에 있어서도 거의 같은 양상을 보였다. 그리고 관능은 청고추 김치가 홍고추 김치에 비해 전반적으로 아주 낮은 값을 보였는데, 이는 김치의 붉은 색에 대한 기본 관념 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
In order to optimize use of pepper resources, and to aid farmers in increasing their income, we compared two types of kimchies made from red and green pepper powder. Qualitative differences were examined during fermantation at $4^{circ}C$. There was no significant change in pH patterns, acidity, total bacteria cell count and total lactic acid bacteria cell count between the red and green pepper powder, however, sensory evaluation, indicated that Kimchi made with green pepper powder showed lower, sensory scores than Kimchi made with red pepper powder with respect to overall acceptability. Eventhough the sensory scores of green pepper is lower than that of red pepper, the quality of Kimchies was not different between them. Considering that the price of green pepper is far cheaper than red pepper powder, farmers should consider actively the production of green pepper Kimches in order to cut down expenses fur the production of Kimches.
