The pH value of the control was not significantly different with
FKP-1 and HKP-1, whereas the pH values of FKP-2 and HKP-2 were
significantly lower than the control due to the low pH of kimchi
powder (Table 3). In particular, the pH values of breakfast sausages
containing FKP and HKP were affected by the raw pH value of kimchi
powder because the pH values of kimchi powder were significantly
lower than raw meat, being pH 5.08 in FKP and pH 4.48 in
HKP. Similar results have been reported that the addition of fiber
either increase, does not affect, or reduces pH values of meat products
depending on the type of fiber (Claus & Hunt, 1991; Grig
