The reducing sugar contents during the fermentation periodof kimchi are shown in Fig. 3. The result of thisstudy was similar to the report of Moon and Jang (20),whom reported a significant decrease of the reducingsugar content by 50% of the initial level in 7 days(P<0.001). Because sugar is used as the food of microbesat the early stage, the reducing sugar in xylitol-containing group decreased at a significantly lowerrate. On Day 14 and 28, however, no difference amongthe groups was observed. In our study, the xylitol-containinggroups showed a relatively high reducing sugarlike the control group, and was probably because sugarwas decomposed in various types of salted-fermentedseafood as in the report of Lee et al. (21), stating thatpart of glutinous rice paste was decomposed and formedsugar and, as a result, a relatively high amount of sugarwas decomposed.
