This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties of Nabak-kimchi during 33 day fermentation. Nabak-kimchi with the various levels (0, 2, 4, 6％) of fresh ginseng were fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$. During the fermentation, pH was lowered in all Nabak-kimchi samples and pH of Nabak-kimchi added fresh ginseng was a little lower than that of Nabak-kimchi without fresh ginseng. Acidity increased continuously during the entire fermentation. Saltiness was maintained at 1.60-1.67% levels during the whole fermentation. Total vitamin C contents increased drastically on the first day of fermentation and decreased after the first day and then increased during 21-24 day fermentation. Total bacteria increased rapidly at the beginning of fermentation and reached its maximum number on 6th day offermentation and then decreased slowly. Total bacteria of Nabak-kimchi added fresh ginseng was highly main-tained during the entire fermentation periods. As a result of the sensory evaluation, Nabak-kimchi added 4% fresh ginseng was the most palatable one.

This research was conducted to find the effects of the addition of kugija to the quality and conservativeness of Nabak kimchi. Kugija extract was prepared by boiling kugija fruits, at different ratios (1, 3, 5 and 7%; w/v) in water for 30 minutes. The changes in the sensory and microbiological properties of the Nabak kimchi were measured for 25 days, following the preparation at a uniform temperature of 10$^{\circ}C$, and compared to a control (distilled water without kugija). For the properties of acceptability, the Nabak kimchi treated with 3% kugija was evaluated as being best during the whole fermentation. The number of total cell counts and number of lactic acid microorganisms gradually increased to a maximum, and then decreased. It was the maximum for controlling and 1 % treatment on day 2, forand 3, 5 and 7% treatment on day 7. (Eds note: the highlighted sentence needs c1arification\ulcorner)This experimental study revealed the effect of kugija extract in enhancing the eating qualities on Nabak kimchi and retarding the fermentation over the initial seven days. The optimum levels of kugija extract on Nabak kimchi obtained through experiments was between 1 and 3% of the water content. Although 3% gave a better color, the fermentation-retarding effect and savory taste. The application of kugija extract could be domestically applied to improve the eating quality and the preservation of traditionally prepared Nabak kimchi.

Kugija was added to Nabak kimchi to improve the quality and preservation and the optimum addition level was assessed. Kugija extract was prepared by boiling kugija fruits, at different ratios (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%; w/v) in water for 30 minutes. The changes in the physicochemical properties of the Nabak kimchi were measured during storage for 25 days at 10?, and compared to a control (without kugija). The pH was decreased in all treatments. Following the fermentation of Nabak kimchi, the total acidity values were inversely proportional the pH changes according to the nature of mutual dependence. However, in short term, during the initial 7 days of fermentation, the total acidity values decreased with increasing concentrations of kugija extract, whereas the trend was reversed after day 10. Total vitamin C content was directly proportional to the concentration of kugija extract and was decreased with the laps of fermentation. Up to day 25, 7% treatment showed the highest vitamin C content, but at 25 days 1% and 3% treatments ranked the first. The mont of reducing sugar was proportional to the concentration of kugija extract however, the difference of values between all treatments became almost indiscernible after day 25. Turbidity values were generally increased in all samples during fermentation period, although only to a limited extent. The lowest turbidity was shown at 3% treatment up to day 16. Total color difference values were increased up to day 16, but then decreased. The optimum level of kugija extract in Nabak kimchi, as determined through these experiments, was between 1 to 3% per added water content, and was preferably 3% for color and fermentation-retarding effect of the product. Kugija extract could be applied for improving the quality and preservation of traditionally prepared Nabak kimchi.

The effect of chitosan on physicochemical and organoleptic properties of Nabak kimchi was studied during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ . Viscosity of the juice of Nabak kimchi added with chitosan was lower than that of control group. The viscosity was gradually increased during storage period, especially from 5 days to ,7 days of storage. Initial pH was higher in control group than inchitosan groups. The pH of controlgroup decreased rapidly during 4 days of storage. The pH of chitosan groups was slightly increased during the first 3 days of storage and decreased thereafter. Acidity was rapidly increased from 3 to 5 days. Reducing sugar contents increased up to 3 days and decreased thereafter. Acidity was rapidly increased from 3 to 5 days. Reducing sugar contents increased upto 3 days and decreased therafter. Glutamic acid, alanine, threonine, aspartic acid, proline and valine were the major free amino acids, and as the fermentation preceeded they were increased gradually. There were signigicant differences in saltiness, sourness and aged odor in sensory evaluation of Nabak kimchi solution during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$.

Application of omija(Schizndra chinensis Baillon) to improve the quality and preservation of nabka kimchi was attempted and the optimal amount of omija level and its effect on the sensory and microbiological properties of nab마 kimchi during fermentation were examined. Effects of omija juice which had been prepared by extracting omija seeds for 9 hr at room temperature (22.5$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$) with different ratios (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%;w/v) of water were examined against control (kimchi prepared without omija). Organoleptic and microbiological properties of nabak kimchi were measured up to 25 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$ after preparation. Sensory properties were evaluated in the aspects of both acceptability and intensity characteristics. In whole, 0.5 and 1.0% treatments showed higher values of evaluation, compared to control, 1.5, and 2.0% treatments throughout the fermentation period. As fermentation progresses, however, sample of 1.0% treatment ranked first between day 4 to 7 and also so did sample of 0.5% treatment along with 1.0% treatment from behind day 10. As for color, control, 0.5% treatment, and 1.0% treatment were more favored than rest of the samples. In texture, 2.0% treatment showed the highest values, whereas control was rated the lowest. In the intensity of characteristics 1.5% and 2.0% treatments showed higher values except sweet taste in which 1.0% treatment ranked top during the initial 7 days and then 0.5% treatment took the first place at behind day 10. total cell counts and number of lactic acid bacteria were gradually increased and then decreased showing the maximum levels of microbial counts on different days, to say, day 2 for control and 0.5% treatment nd day 7 for 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% treatments. The application of omija juice in nabak kimchi enhanced eating qualities of the fermented product and the fermentation-retarding effect of omija juice was clearly shown during the initial seven days of fermentation. The optimum levels of omija juice in nabak kimchi obtained through experiments were between 0.5 to 1.0% for color, fermentation-retarding effects, and savory taste of the product.

Ingredient ratio for making nabak kimchi and the manufacturing method were standardized from the available literatures. Fermentation properties and $CO_2$ production of the nabak kimchi were investigated during the fermentation at $5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Standardized ingredients ratio of nabak kimchi that added 100 mL of water was as follows: 45.0 g baechu cabbage, 26.9 g radish, 1.9 g green onion, 1.0 g red pepper, 1.2 g crushed garlic, 0.9 g crushed ginger, 0.7 g red pepper powder. The standardized manufacturing method of nabak kimchi was as follows: washing ingredients, cutting radish and baechu cabbage $(2.5\times2.5\times0.5\;cm)$, salting for 20 min, washing and draining, pretreatment of ingredients, dissolving red pepper powder in water, blending, mixing, and adding the water to the mixed ingredients. Fermentations at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 days, at $10^{\circ}C$ for 3 days, and at $20^{\circ}C$ for 1 day led to the acidity levels of $0.21\%,\;0.20\%,\;and\;0.31\%$, respectively. From the relationships between optimally ripened pH and acidity, nabak kimchi showed lower acidity of $0.20\~0.25\%$ with pH $4.2\~4.5.$ Like other kinds of kimchi, the Levels of Leuconostoc sp. were high specially at later stage of fermentation at low temperature $(5^{\circ}C)$. However, the levels of Lactobacillus sp. were low at $5^{\circ}C$. Nabak kimchi produced high levels of $CO_2$ in the initial fermentation period and followed by rapid decrease of $CO_2$ production with the fermentation. From the relationships between pH and $CO_2$ content, the highest $CO_2$ contents were found pH $4.0\~4.4$, 3.8 and 3.4 at $5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. This fact indicated that fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ has the highest $CO_2$ content at optimally ripened pH of 4.3 and the fermentation at lower temperature such as $5^{\circ}C$ could extend the eatable time of nabak kimchi.

In order to investigate the possible use of omija extract as natural preservatives for nabak kimchi omija extract was tested for antioxidation and electron-donating ability and further more antimicrobial activites against lactic acid bacteria of nabak kimchi. The concentration of the test sample used were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%. Antioxidative activity measured the TBA value, when omija extract concentration % is higher the antioxidation effect were more evident with the increased omija extract concentrations, and showed a high electron donating activity more than 1.0%. As the result of isolated lactic acid bacteria from nabak kimchi the primary separation tool 117 strains, of these 4 strains which had excellent growth and a strong acid formation capability was selected the second time and Lactobacillus brevis, Lactococcus faecalis, Leuconostoc mesenteriodes, Lactobacillus palantarum were identified. After measuring the antimicrobial activity of the four lactid acid bacteris, except Lactobacillus brevis the other three bacteria showed strong antimicrobial activities. The results suggest the possible use of the omija extract as natural preservative for nabak kimchi.

This study investigated the possibility of usage of freeze-dried ingredients for the preparation of Nabak kimchi. The quality characteristics of Nabak kimchi using freeze-dried ingredients (radish, kimchi cabbage, green onion, garlic and ginger) were monitored during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The initial pH of Nabak kimchi was 5.76~5.93, however, it decreased significantly over increasing storage periods (p<0.05). The titratable acidity of Nabak kimchi increased during storage, reaching 0.43~1.08%. Among the freeze-dried samples, those treated with freeze-dried radish and minor ingredients showed lower titratable acidity than that of the control. The initial number of total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria were 5.57~6.25, and 5.52~6.24 log CFU/g, respectively. After 28 days, the population of total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria in the raw ingredients and freeze-dried minor ingredients was less than 8.0 log CFU/g, but more than 9.0 log CFU/g in other samples. Yeasts and molds in Nabak kimchi were detected up to 2~3 log CFU/g, but coliforms were not detected in all samples during storage. The score of firmness and overall acceptability in the control, raw ingredients and freeze-dried minor ingredients were significantly higher than others (p<0.05). These results indicated that freeze-dried ingredients, such as green onion, garlic, and ginger, can be used in kimchi and would delay microbial growth and extend the shelf-life of kimchi without any deduction of sensory quality.

This study surveyed the Korean Kimchi preference for Chinese, potential Kimchi improvement for Chinese market adaptation and Kimchi application for Chinese cuisine, with the aim of spreading the recognition of Kimchi throughout the world, especially in China, by giving information and developing local types which could be expected to be suitable for utilization of Chinese food life. The subjects were consisted of 298 Chinese(male 108, female 190) residing in Weihai, Yantai and Qingdao, in Shandong province. The questionnaire form was developed and used for self administered evaluation. The collected data were analyzed by SAS package. Baechu Kimchi was found to be the most well-known Kimchi for Chinese, and Kkakdugi, Oi Kimchi, Yoelmu Kimchi and Nabak Kimchi were followed in order. Baechu Kimchi(75.9%) was found to be the most favorite Kimchi for Chinese, and Oi Kimchi(59.3%), Kkakdugi(52.8%), Nabak Kimchi(39.3%) and Yoelmu Kimchi(37.7%) were followed in order. The subjects knew about the Korean foods made with Kimchi, such as Kimchi kimbap(74.8%), Kimchi bibimbap(71.5%), Kimchi bokkeumbap(61.7%), Kimchi guk(58.1%) in order. But the experience of consumption for Korean foods made with Kimchi was low compared to the knowledge of the Korean foods made with Kimchi. Chinese's most favorite foods made with Kimchi were Kimchi bossam, Kimchi bibimbap, Kimchi bokkeumbap and Kimchi kimbap, Kimchi bokkeum, Kimchi tteoksanjeok and Kimchi jeon in order. Among the 9 kinds of new Chinese foods made with Kimchi, Kimchi chao zhurou(fried pork with Kimchi), Kimchi chao mian(fried noodle with Kimchi), Kimchi chao youcai xiaren(fried rape and prawn with Kimchi), Kimchi zhuroushuijiao(dumpling with pork and Kimchi), Kimchi gedatang(wheat flakes soup with Kimchi) and Kimchi hundun(dumpling with Kimchi), and Kimchi youbing(panfried flour with Kimchi), Kimchi lamian(handmade knife-cut noodle with Kimchi) and Kimchi tangyuan(tangyuan with Kimchi) were preferred foods by the subjects in order.

To determine the effect of different fermentation level on the quality of Nabak Kimchi during storage, this study was carried by analysing the result of physico-chemical properties, microbiological characteristics and sensory evaluation of Nabak Kimchi stored up to 24 days. For the physico-chemical properties, pH, total acidity, reducing sugar, carbon dioxide contents, color values were investigated while for the microbiological characteristics, total microbial counts and lactic acid bacteria were studied. Nabak Kimchi products were fermented at six different level of temperature and time and stored in Kimchi refrigerator at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 days. As the storage period increased, the pH values of LF15, SF25 and LF25 decreased rapidly after initial fermentation and the pH values of SF4, LF4 and SF15 increased slightly in the beginning and then decreased. total acidity increased as storage period proceeded. the amount of reducing sugar was 4.92mg/ml before fermentation and increased significantly and reached its maximum values then decreased. lightness and redness of Nabak Kimchi decreased as storage period became longer, but yellow of Nabak Kimchi increased during storage. Total microbial counts of SF25 and LF25 reached to the highest at the 6th day and total microbial counts of LF15 reached to the highest at the 12th day and then significantly decreased. However, total microbial counts of SF4, LF4 and SF15 continuously increased up to the 24th day. The number of lactic acid bacteria was similar to the phase of the change of total microbial counts.
