This study was carried out to investigate the intake pattern and the experience on the kimchi-making, and to analyze the taste preference of kimchi. The questionnaires have been collected from 473 college students in Taejon. Most students had taken baechu-kimchi, kkakduki, yeolmu-kimchi, dongchimi, and cheonggak-kimchi. They liked baechu-kimchi best, and then cheonggak-kimchi. Twenty-seven percent of students took kimchi every meal time and 53 % once a day. The rest 19.4% replied that they could take meals without kimchi. The male students ate more kimchi than the female(p<0.01). Sixty-five percent of them had tried the foreign foods made with kimchi and female had more experience than male(p<0.01). The taste of kimchi-japchae and kimchi-woodong was indicated as edible or taste very good by over two thirds of the students. Kimchi-pizza, kimchi-hamburger, and kimchi-spaghetti were evaluated as edible or taste good by the over half. The aging of kimchi was believed to be the most important factor to determine the taste. Students preferred kimchi which was weak in salty, sweet, and jot-kal taste, strong in hot taste, and proper in sour taste(well-fermented). Compared with the male, the female enjoyed kimchi having stronger sour and weaker jot-kal taste(p<0.01). More female students(43.5%) had experenced kimchi-making than the male(26.5%)(p<0.001). Three-fourth of them had made kimchi with their mother. Baechu-kimchi, cheonggak-kimchi, and dongchimi were recommended as the global food.

The sensory characteristics of cream soup containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100％ rice flour were investigated in order to develop a new processed food using rice. The Hunter L(lightness) value increased with the amount of rice flour, while the a(redness) value and b(yellowness) value decreased, significantly. The viscosity of rice cream soup significantly decreased with the increasing amount of rice flour. Based on the sensory evaluation, the cream soup samples with larger rice flour component showed a higher clean taste score, while those with the least rice flour resulted in higher darkness, viscosity, greasy taste, md softness. The overall acceptance was the highest in the cream soup with 75％ and 100％ rice flour. In terms of the color and viscosity, good correlations were observed between the sensory evaluation and the objective analysis. The overall acceptance showed a significant positive correlation with a clean taste, while there was a negative correlation with a greasy taste and the viscosity measured by a viscometer.

Cheongkukjang is a traditional fermented soybean food in Korea that is used in the manufacture of functional foods. This study was conducted to assess vitamin contents and sensory qualities of powdered Cheongkukjang dried by oven drying, far-infrared drying and freeze drying. Vitamins $B_1$, $B_2$, $B_6$, E, niacin and pantothenic acid were detected using all drying methods. However, vitamin D was not detected in the oven drying samples, and was most prevalent($82.47{\mu}g$/100 g) in the far-infrared drying samples. The sensory characteristics included color, off flavor, salty taste, bitter taste, sweet taste, roasted taste and after-taste. Oven drying and freeze drying samples exhibited highest and lowest color scores(5.62 and 2.0, respectively). Oven drying samples also exhibited the highest roasted taste score(4.76), although not significantly different from far-infrared drying samples(4.0, p<0.05), while the score of freeze drying samples(2.38) was significantly different from the other methods(p<0.05). It is concluded that freeze drying is most suitable.

The origin of Korean traditional food's spicy taste dates back to the first telling of the Dangun myth-a story of a tiger and bear who tried to reincarnate themselves in human form by eating garlic and wormwood. For a long time, Koreans have eaten spicy vegetables such as green onion, garlic, ginger, mustard, leeks, corni, cinnamon bark, and Chinese peppers (Zanthoxylum schinfolium) and Zanthoxylum bungeanum. In prehistoric times, spicy vegetables were probably used to eliminate the smell of meat. In the agricultural age, they were used to supplement meals with fresh taste. They were also used as a substitute for salt (salt was very precious and expensive) as well as side dishes for the poor. Spicy vegetables have also been used as a substitute for main dish like medicinal gruel and used to increase the spiciness of soup, and they are usually used as a side dish and with condiments in namul (cooked vegetable dishes), sangchae (salad), ssam (wrapped in greens and garnished with red-pepper paste or other condiments) and Kimchi. In addition, chili pepper was introduced to the Korean Peninsula in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty (mid-15th, 16th century). The soil and climate of the Korean Peninsula are suitable to growing chili pepper, and chili pepper has excellent adaptability and productivity. Accordingly, it is processed to red pepper powder and has become a major part of traditional Korean food along with Chinese pepper. Since the Joseon Dynasty, many kinds of Kimchi made with red pepper powder have been developed, and most Koreans enjoy them these days. The main characteristics of Korean food are spiciness and honest-to-goodness taste.

The effect of color, as measured on the spectrometer, on the 4 basic tastes(sweet, salty, sour & bitter) perception of a series of colored and no-flavored solutions was quantified by 16 taste panel using magnitude estimation without modulus. The regression lines for each colored series were found to differ indicating that color had a significant effect on sweetness, sourness and bitterness. A sucrose level of 4.0%, a citric acid level of 0.05%, and a nicotinamide level of 0.08% maximized the effect of color on taste's perception and its acceptability. Although color tended to confuse the perception of saltiness, this effect was not significant except for yellow solutions.
