Page 36: General Knowledge About Kimchi
General knowledge about Kimchi The seasoning process begins with adding salt. Fermentation begins when salt is added to the Kimchi. Various substances within the cabbage and other vegetables begin to ferment and proteins are decomposed in the process. Thus, Kimchi will ferment and be seasoned even at low temperature. This is how Kimchi is slowly seasoned during the cold winter time. - Page 37 The effect of temperature on making Kimchi The ambient temperature affects the seasoning process. Kimchi stores well and keeps its taste well at temperature below 10 . To store Kimchi for a long period of time Because Kimchi is a live food, it will go bad after a long period of time, but scientifically to extend the storage of Kimchi, you need to store it in low temperature (near 0 ) and make it saltier.
