“…(Cho et al, 2006;Mheen & Kwon, 1984;Zheng et al, 2020). Cabbage kimchi exhibits the optimal flavor, taste, and texture when suitably fermented at 0.7% to 0.9% total acidity or a pH of approximately 4.1 (Baek, Maruthupandy, Lee, Kim, & Seo, 2020;Hong, Park, & Park, 1994;Kim, Jung, Park, & Lee, 2012). Notably, Kim, Jung, et al (2012) reported that the pH of fresh kimchi, optimally fermented kimchi (OptF), and over fermented kimchi was 5.6, 4.1, and 3.7, respectively.…”
