Abstract
Kimchi has been designated as one of the world's five healthiest foods, and it is a traditional Korean fermented food. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the origin of Kimchi can be discriminated against by using inorganic elements to develop a more accurate method. The OPLS-DA showed that the R2 and Q2 values were 0.908 and 0.81, a high-quality model. We selected 24 elements (133Cs, 238U, 88Sr, K, 157Gd, Na, Mg, 139La, P, 141Pr, 72Ge, 146Nd, 147Sm, 153Eu, 55Mn, 165Ho, 163Dy, 166Er, Fe, 172Yb, 169Tm, 185Re, 175Lu, and 118Sn) with VIP 1 or higher in the OPLS-DA model. In ROC, the selected elements had an accuracy of 100%. The heatmap confirmed the contents of rare earth elements (REEs) in Korean and Chinese Kimchi, the accuracy of distinguishing classification in CDA is 100%. Such results will help to distinguish the origin of agricultural products through inorganic analysis.
