This study was conducted to compare the quality and sensory characteristics of commercial kimchi containing different sodium contents. The salinity at day 1 post-manufacture in regular kimchi was 1.99%, while it was 1.56% in lowsodium kimchi, thus showing a 21.6% reduction in sodium content. The pH of low-sodium kimchi was much lower than that of regular kimchi and the pH was dramatically decreased in both samples after 5 days of storage. The total acidity of low-sodium kimchi was higher than that of the regular kimchi, and increased during the storage period. The number of lactic acid bacteria was maximum at day 5 but slightly decreased after 10 days of storage. The sensory evaluation panels preferred low-sodium kimchi and realized that the saltiness of low-sodium kimchi was less than that of the regular kind. Based on these results, the quality characteristics of low-sodium kimchi were competitive to those of regular kimchi.
