The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of hardness and microstructure of Dongchimi cooked with various sources of sugar(xylitol, xylose, sugar, pear juice). It was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The changes of pH in Dongchimi used different kinds of sugar decreased in all samples during the fermentation period, and then showed a slow decrease after 12 days of fermentation. The total acidity of Dongchimi using xylitol arrived slowly at the best tasting condition($0.3\sim0.4$ point) compared with other conditions. The changes of salt content were showed high as compared with other test conditions in 0 day, the day of fermentation. At the early stage of fermentation, the changes of turbidity of Dongchimi using sugar, pear juice were showed high as compared with those of Dongchimi using xylitol, xylose for $5\sim15$ days of fermentation. The maximum cutting force of Chinese radish Dongchimi showed the highest value among al at the 25 th day of ripening and then decreased gradually. The maximum cutting force of Dongchimi using sugar showed the lowest. The calcium and magnesium contents of Dongchimi juice and Chinese radish Dongchimi juice using xylitol were observed high at the early stage of fermentation and showed the highest value during the fermentation period. The microstructure showed disintegration appearance of middle lamella and cell wall during the fermentation period.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

In order to screen lactic acid bacterial starter having high antibacterial activity and giving good flavor in Dongchmi for Naengmyon antibacterial activity and acid producing ability of 24 strains of Kimchi lactic acid bacteria were tested. Among 24 strains tested Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16, Leu. paramesenteroides C18 Lactobacillus bavaricus B01, B06, C19, C32 Lac. homohiochii B21 and B22 showed high antibacterial activity and their antibacterial activities were more active against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The odors of Dongchimi-juices fermented with Leu. mesenteroides or Leu. paramesenteroides were more favorable than those with Lac. bavaricus or Lac. homohiochii. But the odors of Naengmyon-broths which were made with each Dongchimi-juice were not significantly different each other. In consideration of antibacterial ac-tivity and flavor of Dongchimi-juice two strains of lactic acid bacteria Lac. homohiochii B21 and Leu. mes-enteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16 were finally screened out as Dongchimi starters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maesil(Prunus mume) on Dongchimi fermentation. Dongchimi with 0, 2, 4 and 6%(w/v) maesil was fermented at 10℃ for 45 days. The pH of Dongchimi decreased slowly in all samples during fermentation. Total acidity of Dongchimi increased gradually during fermentation and total acidity of Dongchimi with maesil was higher than that of control. Redox potentials decreased until 30 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. Reducing sugar content increased in the initial stage of the fermentation periods, and then it decreased gradually, the reducing sugar content of Dongchimi with maesil was higher than that of control. The content of total vitamin C was much higher in Dongchimi with maesil. In color measurement, lightness value decreased gradually, redness and yellowness values increased gradually during fermentation but decreased thereafter. The content of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) decreased as the fermentation proceeded but the content of hydrochloric acid soluble pectin(HCISP) and sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(NaSP) increased.

Effect of licorice root(Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Fischer) on the Dongchimi(watery radish kimchi) fermentation was investigated by measuring physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties during fermentation up to 41 days. Dongchimi with the various levels(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5%) of licorice root was fermented at two temperatures : Group A was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ and group B was fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ after keeping at room temperature($16{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) for 24 hours. During the fermentatiion, pH was slowly lowered in all Dongchimi samples and pH of Dongchimi added licorice root was a little higher than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. Total acidity of group A was slightly larger than that of group B and Dongchimi added licorice root showed small content than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. Reducing sugar content was reached maximum value in 13 days of fermentation in Dongchimi added licorice root of group A and B, group A decreased remarkably in 32 days of fermentation in all samples and group B was maintained in the rest sample except for Dongchimi without licorice root and Dongchimi added 1.5% licorice root. Total vitamin C of Dongchimi added licorice root was slightly higher than that of Dongchimi without licorice root of two groups. Lightness lowered gradually with the fermentation and Dongchimi without licorice root decreased a little than that of Dongchimi added licorice root. The number of lactic acid bacteria in Dongchimi added licorice root was more numerous than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. As a result of the sensory evaluation, group B showed higher scores than group A and Dongchimi added 0.5% licorice root was the most preferable one.

Consumer's demand for higher dietary fiber and lower fat in processed foods are increasing. This study developed a low fat and high dietary fiber snack using egg whites and dry fermented radish powder obtained from Dongchimi fermentation. Quality characteristics, such as hardness, color, fat content and total dietary fiber, of the developed snack were conducted along with a hedonic test. As the amount of the fermented powder increased in the formulation, water content and snack hardness decreased. Up to 14.5% radish powder was added (or 9.54% dietary fiber; dry weight, w/w) to the formulation, and hedonic test found snack containing 4.8% (w/w) powder showed the highest scores for overall acceptability.

The anti-adipogenic effect of dongchimi nano juice prepared using a nano-filtering process was investigated by measuring leptin and glycerol levels and the expression of a peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor-\gamma\;(PPAR\gamma)$ gene as indicators of lipid accumulation or lipolysis. Red pepper powder, seeds of red pepper, garlic, and ginger were added in the preparation of dongchimi. Dongchimi was fermented to reach the optimal fermentation period, followed by nano-filtration in the range of $0.0005\sim0.1\;{\mu}m$. The lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi nano juice were removed completely by a nano-filtering process. Treatment of dongchimi nano juice induced glycerol release in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreased the mRNA expression level of $PPAR\gamma$. These results suggested that dongchimi nano juice may enhance lipolysis and modulate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

The purpose of this study is to establish a rapid preparation method of Dongchimi-juice having favor-able flavor and high antibacterial activity against undesirable bacteria in Naengmyon-broth by using high antibacterial strains of lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and leuconostoc mesenteroid-es subsp. mesenteroides C16 as Dongchimi starter. When the two strains of lactic acid bacteria were used as starter mixed culture was better than single culture in acid production and antibacterial activity. When starter was not inoculated in Dongchimi fermentation the numbers of Gram negatives and colifor-ms were remarkably increased in early phase and antibacterial activity could scarcely be detected. But when starter was inoculated the numbers of Gram negatives and coliforms were sharply decreased from early phase and antibacterial ctivity was high. When Dongchimi was made with heat sterilized mat-erials and starter there were no Gram negatives and coliforms and antibacterial activity was high. The antibacterial activity of starter inoculated Dongchimi was maximum in 2 days of fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and was scarcely detected in six days. In consideration of coliform counts antibacterial activity and the flavor of Dongchimi the preparation method in which all materials were heat treated at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 min-utes and inoculated with mixed starter of the two strains and fermented for 2 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was thoug-ht to be good.

Effective method for the preparation of Dongchimi juice was developed by addition of NaCi, sucrose and bydrolytic enzymes before fermentation and addition on Dongchimi juice during fermentation. The radish was ground and suspended in water(1:1, w/v) with addition of spices(garlic, green onion and ginger) followed by fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. The addition of 2% NaCi and 0.5~2.0% sucrose resulted in significant increase of solid content and it was also improved by the addition of polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzyme during fermentation. When the fermented juices of pH 5.4 of 4.4 were added by 15% of total weight before(pH 5.4 juice)and during (pH 4.4 juice) fermentation, a significant increase in solid content after 24hrs of fermentation was resulted. The combined method of addition of 2% NaCI, 1.0% sucrode, 0.1% Viscozyme and 10% of fermented juice of pH 5.4 and 4.$ before and during fermentation improved solid content, reducing sugar, color and showed little effect on viscosity. The organoleptic characteristics were also improved by the combined method.
