Physicochemical and sensory properties of Mul-Kimchi(warery Kimchi) prepared with red cabbage was compared with those of Chinese cabbage or white cabbage. Acidity and turbidity of red cabbage Mul-Kimchi were somewhat higher than those of Chinese cabbage one, which was due to higher soluble solid content in red cabbage Mul-Kimchi. Hunter color a value of red cabbage Mul-kimchi was very much higher than that of Chinese or white cabbage, which was consistent with the data of anthocyanin content. Free radical scavenging activity was much higher in red cabbage Mul-kimchi than in Chinese or white cabbage one. Red cabbage Mul-kimchi had higher values of hardness, fracturability and chewiness during fementation, compared with those of Chinese or white cabbage one. Sensory results showed that there was no difference in overall acceptability among three kinds of Mul-kimchi, although red cabbage one has higher scores of appearance and color than others. Best to the results of this study, it is suggested that red cabbage is a good ingredient for Mul-kimchi.

Mul-kimchi is more watery than traditional kimchi and is prepared using large amounts of salted water, Chinese cabbage, radishes, and carrots. The quality characteristics of Mul-kimchi prepared with Chaenomelis Fructus water extract (1, 3, or 5%, w/v) (CF Mul-kimchi) or water (control) were investigated during fermentation for 21 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The initial pH values were 6.53 (control), 4.14 (1% CF Mul-kimchi), 3.61 (3% CF Mul-kimchi), and 3.54 (5% CF Mul-kimchi). The pH did not change significantly in CF Mul-kimchi but gradually decreased in the control during fermentation. Changes in titratable acidity were reflected in pH movements. Viable lactic acid bacteria in CF Mul-kimchi were at lower levels than in the control. Viable bacterial levels in Mul-kimchi decreased with increasing concentration of CF water extract. Textural features, such as hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and springiness, were higher in CF Mul-kimchi than in control. Anti-oxidative activity, measured by DPPH radical scavenging and nitrite scavenging, of CF Mul-kimchi, were higher than in control, and the activities rose with increasing levels of CF water extract. The sensory qualities of 1% CF Mul-kimchi showed the highest values in taste and overall acceptability among the Mul-kimchi preparations tested.

The effect of addition of ethanol and/or organic acid on slowing down the fermentation of Mul-kimchi was tested by measuring the changes in pH, acidity and counting the number of microorganisms in kimchi fermentation, and sensory evaluation were carried out. The addition of 0~5％ ethanol to kimchi delayed the decrease of pH and the delaying effect during kimchi fermentation was dependent on the ethanol concentration used. The pH of kimchi without ethanol decreased from 5.7 to 4.13, however, the pH of the kimchi added with 5％ ethanol only from 5.8 to 5.14. The increase of acidity in kimchi with 5％ ethanol was only 0.5~0.6％, while that without ethanol was 0.7~0.8％. Among the organic acids tested, adipic acid was found to be most effective on the prevention of kimchi souring. The Mul-kimchi added 2％ ethanol together with 0.1％ organic acid showed similar effect to that of organic acid alone in the change of pH and acidity. By the sensory evaluation, Mul-kimchi with 0.1％ adipic acid and 2％ ethanol was selected the most desirable one except control without any addition. And the numbers of total microbes, lactic bacteria and yeast count, showed the most effective inhibition in Mul-kimchi with 0.1％ adipic acid and 2％ ethanol.

This study was carried out to create a momentum for interest and understanding of local foods and provide base line data for the presentation of future effective development direction by investigating and researching cognitive characteristics, intake frequency, and preference about local foods targeting Pohang citizens. As a result of the investigation on intake frequency and preference of Pohang's local foods, in almost every item such as "gwamegi", "mul-hoe", "Guryongpo daege", "sashimi noodles", "mori noodles", "pidegi cuttle fish", "mulgomtang", "homchibap sikhae", "jesabap sikhae", "whale meat", "gaebokchi", "duchichijjim", "octopus sashimi", "roundnose flounder sashimi", "round flounder jorim", "fried round flounder", "gunsu sorasanjeok", "raw mustard muchim", "miyeongui dish", "sigeumjang", "chives dish", "rolled chives egg", "gokgang spinach", "pine dish", "yellow bean leaves muchim", "pickled green bean leaves", "green bean leaves watery kimchi", "Pohang sunrise bread", "black stone eel dish", "chili jjim", "red-pepper leaves namul muchim", "wild greens bibinbap", "acorn jello muchim", "oimiyeok changuk", "dongdongju", etc., significant differences were shown at the significance level of p<0.05~p<0.001. About understandings, views, development prospects, and development value and so forthof Pohang's local foods, more than 80% of respondents were positive, and in the questions asking concerns about local foods, more than half of the respondents gave a positive opinion, citing that they "have a little interest", and "tend to have an interest". Therefore, it can be seen that the future of local foods is bright. In the future, it is required that various cultural events related to local foods are held, a number of promotions are carried out, specialization of stores is distributed, and, at the same time, local foods are developed and generalized to suit modern sense, maintaining traditional taste in order to become global foods, as well as thedeformation of recipes.
