Physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of radish pickles added with different amounts of stevia leaf (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 g) were investigated. Radish slices ($4{\times}4{\times}4cm$) were salted with NaCl, soaked into pickling solution added with different amounts of stevia leaf, and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. Throughout the whole storage periods, L and b values of radish pickles increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf, whereas a value decreased. Hardness and strength increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf during the storage period. Antioxidant compound contents and antioxidant activity increased significantly with increasing amount of stevia leaf. These results are expected to be useful in producing stevia leaf radish pickles with antioxidant activity and we propose the manufacture and commercialization of radish pickles added with 2.0 g of stevia leaf.

This study examined the physicochemical properties of radish pickle containing different natural preservatives (grapefruit seed extract, green tea extract, rosemary, or olive) stored for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The hardness and color of the radish pickles with the grapefruit seed extract was higher than the other radish pickles during storage from week 0 to week 4. A 14.52% and 13.80% decrease in hardness and color were observed in the radish pickles with grapefruit seed extract (GFE), respectively. In addition, the total phenolic content was highest in the GFE in natural preservatives. Based on the results, GFE was selected as the optimal natural preservatives, and the growth of total viable bacteria and yeast were evaluated. The total viable bacteria and yeast showed similar patterns to the control. These results are expected to be useful in producing radish pickles with optimal quality and contribute to the development of various foods in the food industry.

To assess accurate methods for measuring sulfur dioxide residue in pickles, the acid distillation HPLC-UV method and Monnier Willams modified method were examined. By the acid distillation HPLC-UV method, sulfites released from pickles by acid distillation were absorbed in 1% triethanolamine solution and detected as sulfite ion by HPLC with UV monitoring at 240nm. An anion exchange column was employed with 1.8mM $Ma_2CO_3-1.7mM\;NaHCO_3$ solution as a mobile phase, $84.0{\sim}91.7%$ of sulfite added to pickled radish were recovered. Total sulfite levels from 48 kinds of pickles analyzed by acid distillation HPLC-UV was compared with those analyzed by the Monnier Williams modified method. The Monnier Williams modified method showed higher levels of sulfur dioxide than the acid distillation HPLC-UV method due to the presence of volatile acids in pickles. The concentration of sulfur dioxide was in the range of $N.D{\sim}173.05ppm$ in pickled radish and over 30ppm of sulfur dioxide from 3 samples by the acid distillation-HPLC-UV method.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pickled radishes (RP) containing gardenia fruits (RPG), beet (RPB), and spinach (RPS) juice. We have conducted the moisture, salinity, sweetness, pH, titable acidity, Hunter's color values, and mechanical characteristics with a sensory evaluation by elementary, middle, high and university students on the colored radish pickles. The moisture contents of RP, RPG, RPB and RPS are not significantly different. The salinity and pH of RP were significantly higher than that of RPG, RPB, RPS (p<0.05; p<0.01). The sugar contents of RPS are significantly higher than the of RP, RPG and RPB (p<0.001). The titrable acidity of RPB and RPS is significantly higher than that of the RP and RPG (p<0.001). The lightness (L) of RP, the redness (a) of RPB and the yellowness (b) of RPS are the highest in sample group. For changes in texture profile analysis, the hardness level of RPB is higher than that of RP, RPG and RPS (p<0.01), but the chewiness of RPG is higher than those of RP, RPB and RPS (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, RPB scores the highest in color, taste, and overall acceptability, whereas RPS scores the lowest in color and overall acceptability. Based on the above results, we expect that radish pickles with beet juice have good characteristics and acceptances within the school food services.

For standardization of quality and reduction of salt concentration of pickles manufactured in Folk Villages of Sunchang Region, the physicochemical characteristics of 90 pickles of 10 items were compared. Persimmon, garlic, cucumber, radish, Codonopsis lanceolata L., and Japanese apricot pickles were mixed with kochujang, perilla leaf pickle was mixed with soybean paste, cucumber pickle in wine cake was mixed with wine cake, and red pepper was mixed with soybean paste or soy sauce. Moisture contents, pH, and titratable acidities of pickles were various depend upon characteristics of materials. Sugar contents of pickles test,34 were ranged from $22.10{\pm}3.04$ (red pepper pickled with soy sauce) to $55.53{\pm}7.67\;^oBrix$ (garlic pickle), and sugar contents of pickles mixed with kochujang were higher than those of soybean paste or soy sauce. Salt concentration of pickles were ranged from $3.56{\pm}1.11$ (Japanese apricot) to $9.15{\pm}6.35%$ (red pepper pickled with soy sauce), and salt concentration of pickle mixed with soy sauce was the highest among the pickles tested. Total aerobic counts of pickles tested were similarly ranged from $5.62{\pm}0.10$ (red pepper pickled with soy sauce) to $6.83{\pm}0.55$ log CFU/g (perilla leaf pickled with soybean paste). These results indicate salt concentration and quality of pickles manufactured in Folk Villages of Sunchang region must be lowered and standardized, respectively.

Since there has not been a pickle made out of radish and carrots among the foods. We come up with the idea of making a pickle with radish and carrot. To examine the value that two kinds of pickle can carry out as a food, we utilize several methods : such as the examination of changes of color, hardness. PH, total bacteria and sensory test to investigate characteristics of a radish and carrot pickle during the storage.

A survey on the kimchi preference among elementray school students in Pusan was conducted in April of 1995 to get basic information needed for the development of special kimchi for the children. Total of 1100 children in 2nd, 4th and 6th grade from public and private elementary school participated in this survey. Sixty eight percent of students answered that they like kimchi. However, kimchi preference(17.6%) among other side dishes-pork cuttlet.ham.sausage(54.1%), egg roll(9.4%), soysauced beef(8.2%), toasted laver(6.3%), bean sprout namul(3.0%), danmooji(1.0%), and squash namul(0.4%)-was relatively low. It can be interpreted that elementary school student prefers processed food specially animal food to kimchi. The hot taste of the kimchi was the number one reason of their dislike of kimchi, and it was the most important reason for those also like kimchi. Thus it can be thought as the representative taste of kimchi. Chinese cabbage kimchi was found to be the most favorite kimchi and kakdugi(seasoned pickles of cubed radish), nabak-kimchi(mildly seasoned water based kimchi that is mixture of chinese cabbage and cubed radish) and jchonggag kimcchi(seasoned pickles of pony tail radish) and cucumber kimchi were followed in order. Among the various ingredients in kimchim children like cabbage best but they didn't like galic, ginger, green onion and fermented fish sauce which give strong flavor in kimchi.

A survey of the notion and intake on Kimchi among college women in Pusan was conducted to get some basic information on kimchi. Two hundred sixty seven students in Pusan participated in this survey. Seventy five percent of students answered that they like kimchi. They preferred well-fermented kimchi with anchovy extracts, refreshing taste and crispy texture the saltly and sweet. Chinese cabbage kimchi (87.6%) was found to be the most favored kimchi and Kakdugi(seasoned pickles of cubed radish), Nabak kimchi and Chonggak kimchi (ponytail kimchi) were followed in the order. The most favorite food made from kimchi was stir fried kimchi with rice. They disliked traditional special kimchi, such as Puchu kimchi (leek kimchi), Pa kimchi (green onion kimchi), Kkennip kimchi (perilla leaf kimchi), Godulbaegi kimch (Korea wild lettuce kimchi) and Gat kimchi (Leaf mustard kimchi). About 93 grams of kimchi was consumed daily and this amount was a little. Seventy percent of students did not have any experiences preparing kimchi. Experiences of kimchi preparation were given by mother through kimchii-making event for the winter(71.7%), cooking practice in middle or high school (14.1%) and college(10.9%) and general cooking education (33%). They preferred to buy kimchi at the Agricultural Cooperative Association (48.5%) or a large kimch factory (32.75). College students believe that kimchi is a healthy food and are willing to learn how to make kimchi.

Quality factors which characterize 11 kinds of farm-manufactured apple Jangachi and commercial Jangachi, have been studied in order to provide a guideline to improve the quality and marketing strategy of farm-manufactured pickled apples. Moisture content ranged from 74% to 84% and 81% to 91% in Doenjang Jangachi and vinegar Jangachi, respectively; 38% to 64% in Kochujang Jangachi; 57% to 64% in radish Kochujang Jangachi. Moisture content was 89% in Doenjang Jangachi. Even though moisture content of apple Kochujang Jangachi indicated 48% which is lower than that of radish Jangachi, it was higher than that of a persimmon pickled in Kochujang (38%) and that of Japanese apricot Jangachi (49%). pH and titratable acidity, two indicators used to determine the appropriate ripening period of Jangachi, were pH 3.4~5.6, 0.03~0.14%, respectively. The pH ranged from 5.2 to 5.6 in radish Jangachi; 3.4 to 4.1 in Cucumber Jangachi. pH of persimmon Jangachi, Japanese apricot Jangachi and apple Jangachi showed 4.1, 3.5 and 4.1, respectively. Compared with the pH of traditional Jangachi (3.03~5.36), pH of all of the above Jangachi fall into an appropriate range. The brix of apple Jangachi (30%) was 12% to 18% higher than that of Kochujang radish Jangachi, but it was relatively lower than that of persimmon Jangachi (39%) and that of Japanese apricot Jangachi (49%). Salinity of Jangachi varied depending on which marinating material was used. Salinity in the descending order according to each marinating material demonstrated Kanjang (6% to 13%), Doenjang (7%), Kochujang (3% to 4%). Salinity of apple Jangachi was 3.28% which was relatively lower than that of commercial Jangachi which used either Kanjang or Doenjang as its marinating material. Chromaticity test shows that the brightness value of apple Jangachi (54.70) was similar to that of cucumber Jangachi (50.86, 56.02); the redness value and yellowness of apple Jangachi (16.21 and 26.78) were higher than the redness value (7.27 to 11.23) and the yellowness value (10.62 to 14.69) of radish Kochujang Jangachi. Sensory Characteristics value of apple Jangachi, along with radish and cucumber Jangachi in its color, odor and taste (7.00, 7.50, 7.00, respectively) placed high on the list implying higher preference. However, overall preference value of apple Jangachi was 6.83 which was lower than that of Japanese apricot Jangachi or that of radish Jangachi. The result can be explained by the tendency of people preferring crispy Jangachi and points out that the texture of apple Jangachi needs to be improved to gain popularity. Furthermore, for increased sales of apple Jangachi as a niche product, more rigorous market testing is required.

This study was undertaken to examine if sodium acetate and/or calcium chloride would increase the firmness and/or retard rancidity of Kakdugj (Korean seasoned pickles of cubed radish roots) during short $(at\;20^{\circ}C)$ or long $(at\;4^{\circ}C)$ period of fermentation During the fermentation periods, pH and acidity were higher in Kakdugis containing 0.3 or 0.6% Na-acetate than in the other samples at both storage temperatures. Firmness was increased with addition of 0.05% Calcium chloride and synergistic effect on firmness was observed when Calcium chloride and Na-acetate were added together. Sourness did not decreased in samples containing 0.3% Na-acetate at either fermentation periods but decreased in those containing 0.6% Na-acetate and stored for long. Saltiness was increased slightly with the addition of Calcium chloride. Compression test gave closer result to sensory evaluation than puncture test In the measurement of firmness with Instron.
