Abstract
Recipe for Korean typical wild.vegetable preparations were developed and changes in pH, total acidity and ascorbic acid were measured during the storage period at 4~$5^{\circ}C$. Crude fiber and minerals were also analyzed and sensory evaluation was conducted. Changes in pH and total acidity were not significant in most of the samples and the results reveal that the vegetable preparations were in good conditions throughtout the storage period at 4~$5^{\circ}C$. The contents of ascorbic acid have been gradually reduced during the first 10-day storage showing 30~70% retention and continuous loss to 30~40% left on 20th-day. Crude fiber and mineral (Ca, p, Fe, K, Mg) contents were relatively higher in the wild-vegetables than in the everyday use vegetables. The results of the sensory evaluations revealed that the tested samples were in good scores (overall scores>6) except sancho-seed pickles.
