To obtain large pools of lactic acid bacteria, a strain was isolated from Tongchimi. Through its sugar fermentation and analysis of 16S rRNA gene, it was identified to be Lactobacillus plantarum HB1. This strain is Gram-positive and catalase-negative. In the range of 1～88 bp in the HB1 16S rRNA gene, the HB1 strain was homologous with other L. plantarum strains by almost 100%, and in the range of the rest 32 bp, the HB1 strain showed considerable variation, compared to other strains. Nitrate which may exist in radish can be easily converted to nitrite. The nitrite interacts with amine, and becomes nitrosamine which may cause stomach cancer. The culture obtained by HB1 strain could eliminate 400 ${\mu}M$ nitrite within 1.5 hr. It is necessary to isolate specific components which are involved in nitrite elimination in the culture and to study on its mechanism.

There are 186 kinds of Kimchi and related products in Korea based on the data published in the period of 11 years from 1976 to 1987. Among which, the varieties of Kimchi which are prepared by Chinese cabbage and other leafy vegetables are 106. And that of Kagdugi and Tongchimi which are prepared by raddish are 26. The products based on chinese cabbage such as Tong bae chu kim chi Possam kimchi and Paek kimchi are prepared by Chinese cabbage, salt, red pepper, garlic, ginger, welsh onion and water cress as main ingredient and other subsidiary ingredients. Other products based on raddish such as Kagdugi an Tongchimi are prepared by the same ingredieuts as Chinese Cobbage kimci but the kinds of subsidiary ingredients are Smaller than that of Chinese Cabbge Kimchi. Other products such as Yulmu kimchi and Oisobaki were, also, discussed.

소금농도가 동치미의 발효숙성중에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 동치미 담금액의 소금농도를 달리하여 제조한 동치미를 $4^{\circ}C$에서 85일 까지 저장하면서 pH, 총산함량, 환원당, 소금농도, 비타민 C 및 동치미 국물의 탁도 등의 이화학적 특성과 미생물학적 및 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 전체적으로 발효가 진행됨에 따라 pH는 점차로 $pH3.93{\sim}pH3.72$까지 낮아지고, 총산함량은 0.18"$0.22%$ 까지 증가함을 보였다. 동치미 국물에서 소금농도는 감소하였지만, 동치미 무에서는 증가되어 발효$15{\sim}22$일에 동치미 무와 액사이의 소금농도가 평형상태에 도달했음을 볼 수 있었고, 이때 동치미 담금액의 초기 소금농도 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5%, 6.3%는 각각 평형 소금농도 $1.2%{\pm}0.04%$, $2.0%{\pm}0.07%$, $2.8%{\pm}0.05%$, $4.0%{\pm}0.06%$에 도달하였다. 비타민 C와 환원당 함량은 동치미 국물에서 발효 $15{\sim}22$일 까지 점차 증가하다가 그이후로는 서서히 감소되었다. 그러나, 동치미 무에서는 같은 기간 동안에 계속적인 감소를 보였다. 동치미 국물의 탁도는 발효가 시작되면서 증가하여 발효 22일에 모든 시료에서 최대의 탁도를 보이고 그 이후로는 점차로 감소하였다. 총세균수와 젖산균수의 변화는 초기에 총세균수가 조금 많은 것을 제외하고는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 거의 비슷한 변화 양상을 보였는데 발효 $15{\sim}22$일에 젖산균수나 총세균수 모두 최대 균수를 보이고 그 이후로는 모든 시료에서 감소하였다. 관능적 평가에서는 짠맛의 정도와 전반적인 기호도에서 모두 큰 유의차를 보였으며, 특히 소금농도 3.0%의 동치미가 높은 점수를 얻어서 관능적으로 우수한 평가를 받았다.

This study was conducted to investigate the standardization of kimchi and related products. There are about 339 kinds of kimchi and related products in Korea. Half of those various kimchi was 50% of the total products, and the other groups are in the order of Jangachi (high salted vegetable pickles, Saengchae (a salad type kimchi), Kakduki(reddish kimchi), Keotjulyi(nonfemented kimchi), Pickles, Seobakji (kimchi based on raddish, fish and other ingredients) and Shickgae (lactic fermented fish products). About 200 ingredients (chinese cabbage, raddish, cucumber, other vegetables, fruits, seaweeds, fish, meat etc.) were used for those products. Tongbaechu kimchi (whole headded chinese cabbage kimchi) and Possam kimchi (wraped kimchi with chinese cabbage leaves) were made by about 30 ingredients, respectively. Kakduki, Oyster-kakduki, Chonkak kimchi (kimchi based on small raddish with leaves) and Tongchimi (raddish kimchi with brine soup) were made by raddish and more than 10 ingredients, but the subsidiary ingerdients were less than that of chinese cabbage kimchi. Other products such as Yulmu kimchi and Oisobaki (a cucmber kimchi) were also dicussed.
