The addition of jogi, Micropogonias undulates, affects amino acid content in kimchi fermentation.

ABSTRACT: The effects of jogi (the fish Atlantic croaker, Micropogonias undulatus) on the production of physicochemical components, such as color, organic acids, and amino acids, in kimchi, a traditional fermented vegetable food of Korea, were determined. As fermentation progressed, the color change of jogi-added kimchi increased, but in comparison with that of the control group without jogi-added kimchi, was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Reducing sugar decreased in all experimental groups, and as fermentation progressed, kimchi with jogi showed a lower value. Acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and ethanol, were highly produced in both types of kimchi, and above all, the jogi-baechu-kimchi group showed higher acetic acid and lactic acid contents than the control group.
